Barrington borough, NJ in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Barrington borough is a mid-size town in New Jersey, with 7,047 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #227 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 67% of them. The median age here is 44.6 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 Barrington borough earn a median of $84,334 a year, 7.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 21% below the $106,926 median for the 543 New Jersey 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 6.1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Barrington borough is valued at $244,400, 19.4% below the national figure and 41% below the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,282 a month, 8.8% below the national figure, or roughly $15,384 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. 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. 51.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
