Poquonock Bridge, CT population, income and ZIP codes

Poquonock Bridge CDP is a small town in Connecticut, with 1,108 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #157 of 215 ranked by population — larger than 27% of them. The median age here is 30.5 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 Poquonock Bridge CDP earn a median of $42,907 a year, 45.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 56% below the $96,484 median for the 159 Connecticut cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 14.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Poquonock Bridge CDP is valued at $190,700, 37.1% below the national figure and 45% below the $344,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,349 a month, 4.1% below the national figure, or roughly $16,188 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 37.7% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 30.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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.
