Ellisburg CDP, NJ in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Ellisburg CDP is a mid-size town in New Jersey, with 5,021 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #292 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 58% of them. The median age here is 36.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Ellisburg CDP earn a median of $91,272 a year, 16.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 15% 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 11.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

A household on the local median income would put about 18.8% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 66.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
