North Haven CDP, CT in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
North Haven CDP is a mid-size town in Connecticut, with 24,177 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #25 of 215 ranked by population — larger than 88% of them. The median age here is 46.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 North Haven CDP earn a median of $126,807 a year, 61.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 31% above 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 4.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in North Haven CDP is valued at $360,100, 18.7% above the national figure and 5% above the $344,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,578 a month, 12.2% above the national figure, or roughly $18,936 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.9% 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 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 81.3% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
