Agawam Town, MA population, income and ZIP codes

Agawam Town city is a small city in Massachusetts, with 28,510 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #56 of 248 ranked by population — larger than 77% 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 Agawam Town city earn a median of $82,359 a year, 4.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 17% below the $99,537 median for the 222 Massachusetts 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 6.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Agawam Town city is valued at $290,000, 4.4% below the national figure and 42% below the $497,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,234 a month, 12.2% below the national figure, or roughly $14,808 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18% 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 73.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
