Staples CDP, CT in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Staples CDP is a mid-size town in Connecticut, with 6,985 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #52 of 215 ranked by population — larger than 76% of them. The median age here is 48.7 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 Staples CDP earn a median of $218,365 a year, 178% above the national figure of $78,538 and 126% 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 3.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Staples CDP is valued at $1,202,800, 296.4% above the national figure and 249% above the $344,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,142 a month, 52.3% above the national figure, or roughly $25,704 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11.8% 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 5.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 90.9% 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.
