Oxford CDP, MA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Oxford CDP is a mid-size town in Massachusetts, with 5,572 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #116 of 248 ranked by population — larger than 53% of them. The median age here is 42.6 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 Oxford CDP earn a median of $91,742 a year, 16.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 8% 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 6.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Oxford CDP is valued at $327,300, 7.9% above the national figure and 34% below the $497,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,047 a month, 25.5% below the national figure, or roughly $12,564 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.7% 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. 84.2% 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.
