New Milford, CT population, income and ZIP codes

New Milford CDP is a mid-size town in Connecticut, with 7,632 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #45 of 215 ranked by population — larger than 79% of them. The median age here is 39.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 New Milford CDP earn a median of $81,170 a year, 3.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 16% 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 8.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in New Milford CDP is valued at $326,200, 7.5% above the national figure and 5% below the $344,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,422 a month, 1.1% above the national figure, or roughly $17,064 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21% 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 4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 60.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.

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.
