Sharon CDP, MA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Sharon CDP is a mid-size town in Massachusetts, with 6,022 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #106 of 248 ranked by population — larger than 57% of them. The median age here is 40 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 Sharon CDP earn a median of $183,239 a year, 133.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 84% above the $99,537 median for the 222 Massachusetts cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 3.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Sharon CDP is valued at $614,300, 102.5% above the national figure and 24% above the $497,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,469 a month, 75.6% above the national figure, or roughly $29,628 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.2% 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 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 87.4% 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. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
