Hopedale CDP, MA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Hopedale CDP is a small town in Massachusetts, with 4,126 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #135 of 248 ranked by population — larger than 45% of them. The median age here is 40.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Hopedale CDP earn a median of $111,016 a year, 41.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 12% above 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.

A household on the local median income would put about 19.9% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 69.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners.
