North Scituate, MA population, income and ZIP codes

North Scituate CDP is a mid-size town in Massachusetts, with 6,163 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #105 of 248 ranked by population — larger than 57% of them. The median age here is 44.4 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 North Scituate CDP earn a median of $136,852 a year, 74.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 37% 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 2.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in North Scituate CDP is valued at $771,000, 154.1% above the national figure and 55% above the $497,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,613 a month, 14.7% above the national figure, or roughly $19,356 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.1% 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 5.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 89% 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.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
