West Concord CDP, MA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
West Concord CDP is a mid-size town in Massachusetts, with 5,997 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #107 of 248 ranked by population — larger than 57% of them. The median age here is 45.1 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 West Concord CDP earn a median of $178,979 a year, 127.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 80% 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 4.1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in West Concord CDP is valued at $881,800, 190.6% above the national figure and 77% above the $497,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,444 a month, 73.8% above the national figure, or roughly $29,328 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.4% 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 4.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 63% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
