Center Ossipee, NH population, income and ZIP codes

Center Ossipee CDP is a very small community in New Hampshire, with 500 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #78 of 100 ranked by population — larger than 22% of them. The median age here is 33.7 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 Center Ossipee CDP earn a median of $43,929 a year, 44.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 43% below the $77,368 median for the 65 New Hampshire 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 16.6% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Center Ossipee CDP is valued at $240,000, 20.9% below the national figure and 12% below the $271,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,551 a month, 10.3% above the national figure, or roughly $18,612 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 42.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is severely stretched — a median-income renter clears the cost-burden line by a wide margin before utilities beyond the gross-rent definition. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 33.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
