Glenville CDP, CT in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Glenville CDP is a small town in Connecticut, with 2,663 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #104 of 215 ranked by population — larger than 51% of them. The median age here is 43.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Glenville CDP earn a median of $211,786 a year, 169.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 120% above the $96,484 median for the 159 Connecticut cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 7.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Glenville CDP is valued at $1,091,700, 259.8% above the national figure and 217% above the $344,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $3,501 a month, 149% above the national figure, or roughly $42,012 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.8% 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 5.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 79.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
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.
