Leominster city, MA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Leominster city is a small city in Massachusetts, with 43,697 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #31 of 248 ranked by population — larger than 87% of them. The median age here is 41.8 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 Leominster city earn a median of $81,556 a year, 3.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 18% below 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 10.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Leominster city is valued at $345,000, 13.7% above the national figure and 31% below the $497,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,282 a month, 8.8% below the national figure, or roughly $15,384 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.9% 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 4.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 62.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters.
