Flanders CDP, NJ in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Flanders CDP is a mid-size town in New Jersey, with 8,949 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #179 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 74% of them. The median age here is 43.4 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 Flanders CDP earn a median of $149,769 a year, 90.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 40% above 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 4.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Flanders CDP is valued at $492,600, 62.4% above the national figure and 19% above the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,872 a month, 33.1% above the national figure, or roughly $22,464 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15% 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 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 59% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
