Bloomsbury borough, NJ in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Bloomsbury borough is a very small community in New Jersey, with 805 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #576 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 17% of them. The median age here is 47.2 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 Bloomsbury borough earn a median of $88,068 a year, 12.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 18% 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 4.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Bloomsbury borough is valued at $314,800, 3.8% above the national figure and 24% below the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,258 a month, 10.5% below the national figure, or roughly $15,096 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.1% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 59.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
