Lordship, CT population, income and ZIP codes

Lordship CDP is a small town in Connecticut, with 3,613 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #79 of 215 ranked by population — larger than 63% of them. The median age here is 53.9 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 Lordship CDP earn a median of $85,347 a year, 8.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 12% below the $96,484 median for the 159 Connecticut cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 8.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lordship CDP is valued at $432,800, 42.6% above the national figure and 26% above the $344,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,637 a month, 16.4% above the national figure, or roughly $19,644 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 85.6% 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. 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 53.9 puts Lordship 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.

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.
