Fairton, NJ population, income and ZIP codes

Fairton CDP is a very small community in New Jersey, with 918 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #565 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 19% of them. The median age here is 38.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Fairton CDP earn a median of $62,250 a year, 20.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 42% 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 13.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Fairton CDP is valued at $171,300, 43.5% below the national figure and 58% below the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,553 a month, 10.5% above the national figure, or roughly $18,636 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 29.9% 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 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 69.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

With 918 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Fairton CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

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.
