Audubon Park, NJ population, income and ZIP codes

Audubon Park borough is a very small community in New Jersey, with 979 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #558 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 20% of them. The median age here is 55.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Audubon Park borough earn a median of $53,333 a year, 32.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 50% below the $106,926 median for the 543 New Jersey 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 13.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Audubon Park borough is valued at $93,800, 69.1% below the national figure and 77% below the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $957 a month, 31.9% below the national figure, or roughly $11,484 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 1.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 10.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 55.7 puts Audubon Park borough well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 979 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Audubon Park borough against its county rather than against national figures.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
