East Franklin, NJ population, income and ZIP codes

East Franklin CDP is a mid-size town in New Jersey, with 10,281 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #147 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 79% of them. The median age here is 30.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 East Franklin CDP earn a median of $105,363 a year, 34.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 8.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in East Franklin CDP is valued at $366,900, 20.9% above the national figure and 11% below the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,794 a month, 27.6% above the national figure, or roughly $21,528 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 47.9% 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.

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.
