Brookfield CDP, MA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Brookfield CDP is a very small community in Massachusetts, with 940 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #227 of 248 ranked by population — larger than 8% of them. The median age here is 38.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Brookfield CDP earn a median of $66,774 a year, 15% below the national figure of $78,538 and 33% below the $99,537 median for the 222 Massachusetts cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 10.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Brookfield CDP is valued at $325,700, 7.4% above the national figure and 35% below the $497,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,087 a month, 22.7% below the national figure, or roughly $13,044 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.5% 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 4.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 70.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 940 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Brookfield CDP against its county rather than against national figures.
