Orange CDP, CT in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Orange CDP is a mid-size town in Connecticut, with 14,251 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #30 of 215 ranked by population — larger than 86% of them. The median age here is 45.5 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 Orange CDP earn a median of $145,625 a year, 85.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 51% above the $96,484 median for the 159 Connecticut cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 3.1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Orange CDP is valued at $466,800, 53.9% above the national figure and 36% above the $344,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,016 a month, 43.4% above the national figure, or roughly $24,192 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.6% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 88.9% 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.
