Moosup CDP, CT in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Moosup CDP is a small town in Connecticut, with 3,218 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #91 of 215 ranked by population — larger than 57% of them. The median age here is 32.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Moosup CDP earn a median of $75,469 a year, 3.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 22% 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 8.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Moosup CDP is valued at $269,000, 11.3% below the national figure and 22% below the $344,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,215 a month, 13.6% below the national figure, or roughly $14,580 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.3% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 62.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.
