Coventry Lake, CT population, income and ZIP codes

Coventry Lake CDP is a small town in Connecticut, with 2,358 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #110 of 215 ranked by population — larger than 49% of them. The median age here is 55.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Coventry Lake CDP earn a median of $73,846 a year, 6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 23% below the $96,484 median for the 159 Connecticut cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 13.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Coventry Lake CDP is valued at $263,200, 13.2% below the national figure and 24% below the $344,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,031 a month, 26.7% below the national figure, or roughly $12,372 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.8% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 88% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 55.2 puts Coventry Lake CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
