Carneys Point CDP, NJ in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Carneys Point CDP is a mid-size town in New Jersey, with 7,945 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #208 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 70% 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 Carneys Point CDP earn a median of $75,436 a year, 3.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 29% 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 10.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Carneys Point CDP is valued at $180,600, 40.5% below the national figure and 56% below the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,283 a month, 8.7% below the national figure, or roughly $15,396 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.4% 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 2.4×, 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. 61.9% 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.
