Huntington CDP, MA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Huntington CDP is a very small community in Massachusetts, with 853 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #229 of 248 ranked by population — larger than 7% of them. The median age here is 34 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 Huntington CDP earn a median of $52,344 a year, 33.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 47% below the $99,537 median for the 222 Massachusetts cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 26.8% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.
The typical owner-occupied home in Huntington CDP is valued at $301,800, essentially level with the national figure and 39% below the $497,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,286 a month, 8.5% below the national figure, or roughly $15,432 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 29.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 69% 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.
