Belmont, NH population, income and ZIP codes

Belmont CDP is a small town in New Hampshire, with 1,257 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #59 of 100 ranked by population — larger than 41% of them. The median age here is 38 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 Belmont CDP earn a median of $51,086 a year, 35% below the national figure of $78,538 and 34% below the $77,368 median for the 65 New Hampshire 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 11.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Belmont CDP is valued at $150,000, 50.6% below the national figure and 45% below the $271,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,413 a month, essentially level with the national figure, or roughly $16,956 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 33.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 84.5% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Belmont CDP is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 33.2% of median income while homes cost only 2.9× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price.

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.
