Glastonbury Center, CT population, income and ZIP codes

Glastonbury Center CDP is a mid-size town in Connecticut, with 7,860 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #44 of 215 ranked by population — larger than 79% of them. The median age here is 48.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Glastonbury Center CDP earn a median of $133,450 a year, 69.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 38% above 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 5.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Glastonbury Center CDP is valued at $367,000, 21% above the national figure and 7% above the $344,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,703 a month, 21.1% above the national figure, or roughly $20,436 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.3% 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 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 70.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
