Fieldsboro, NJ population, income and ZIP codes

Fieldsboro borough is a very small community in New Jersey, with 701 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #585 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 16% of them. The median age here is 31.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Fieldsboro borough earn a median of $88,125 a year, 12.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 18% below the $106,926 median for the 543 New Jersey cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 6.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Fieldsboro borough is valued at $333,700, 10% above the national figure and 19% below the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,200 a month, 56.5% above the national figure, or roughly $26,400 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 30% 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 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 84% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. 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 701 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Fieldsboro borough against its county rather than against national figures.
