Beckett CDP, NJ in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Beckett CDP is a mid-size town in New Jersey, with 5,072 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #290 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 58% of them. The median age here is 43.4 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 Beckett CDP earn a median of $119,063 a year, 51.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 11% above the $106,926 median for the 543 New Jersey cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 6.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Beckett CDP is valued at $279,300, 7.9% below the national figure and 32% below the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,839 a month, 30.8% above the national figure, or roughly $22,068 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.5% 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 2.3×, 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. 96% 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.
