West Springfield Town, MA population, income and ZIP codes

West Springfield Town city is a small city in Massachusetts, with 28,635 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #54 of 248 ranked by population — larger than 78% of them. The median age here is 39.4 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.

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.

The typical owner-occupied home in West Springfield Town city is valued at $307,900, 1.5% above the national figure and 38% below the $497,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,121 a month, 20.3% below the national figure, or roughly $13,452 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.1% 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 4.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 58.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.
