Sherwood Manor, CT population, income and ZIP codes

Sherwood Manor CDP is a mid-size town in Connecticut, with 5,781 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #62 of 215 ranked by population — larger than 71% of them. The median age here is 43.4 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 Sherwood Manor CDP earn a median of $96,274 a year, 22.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 6.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Sherwood Manor CDP is valued at $241,100, 20.5% below the national figure and 30% below the $344,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,656 a month, 17.8% above the national figure, or roughly $19,872 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.6% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 82.2% 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.

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.
