Heritage Village, CT population, income and ZIP codes

Heritage Village CDP is a small town in Connecticut, with 4,517 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #70 of 215 ranked by population — larger than 67% of them. The median age here is 73.1 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 Heritage Village CDP earn a median of $53,266 a year, 32.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 45% 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 4.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Heritage Village CDP is valued at $221,600, 27% below the national figure and 36% below the $344,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,014 a month, 43.2% above the national figure, or roughly $24,168 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 45.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is severely stretched — a median-income renter clears the cost-burden line by a wide margin before utilities beyond the gross-rent definition. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 77.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

A median age of 73.1 puts Heritage Village 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
