Mountain Lakes, NH population, income and ZIP codes

Mountain Lakes 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 #79 of 100 ranked by population — larger than 21% of them. The median age here is 27 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Mountain Lakes CDP earn a median of $43,523 a year, 44.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 44% 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 10.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Mountain Lakes CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 88.1% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 27 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 500 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Mountain Lakes CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Mountain Lakes CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
