Kingston CDP, MA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Kingston CDP is a mid-size town in Massachusetts, with 6,373 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #101 of 248 ranked by population — larger than 59% of them. The median age here is 46.3 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 Kingston CDP earn a median of $130,179 a year, 65.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 31% above 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 2.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Kingston CDP is valued at $529,400, 74.5% above the national figure and 6% above the $497,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,298 a month, 7.7% below the national figure, or roughly $15,576 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12% 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 4.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 82.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
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.
