Winthrop Town city, MA in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Winthrop Town city is a mid-size town in Massachusetts, with 18,807 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #70 of 248 ranked by population — larger than 72% of them. The median age here is 43.6 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 Winthrop Town city earn a median of $106,357 a year, 35.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 7% 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 7.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Winthrop Town city is valued at $606,900, 100% above the national figure and 22% above the $497,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,909 a month, 35.8% above the national figure, or roughly $22,908 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.5% 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 5.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 55.6% 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.
