Amesbury Town city, MA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Amesbury Town city is a mid-size town in Massachusetts, with 17,277 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #75 of 248 ranked by population — larger than 70% of them. The median age here is 44.2 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 Amesbury Town city earn a median of $100,599 a year, 28.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

A household on the local median income would put about 18.8% 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 4.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 68.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners.
