Winchendon CDP, MA in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Winchendon CDP is a small town in Massachusetts, with 4,407 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #130 of 248 ranked by population — larger than 47% of them. The median age here is 39 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.
Households in Winchendon CDP earn a median of $67,188 a year, 14.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 32% below 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 14.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Winchendon CDP is valued at $258,300, 14.9% below the national figure and 48% below the $497,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,217 a month, 13.4% below the national figure, or roughly $14,604 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.7% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 59% 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.
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.
