Florence CDP, NJ in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Florence CDP is a mid-size town in New Jersey, with 5,027 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #291 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 58% of them. The median age here is 38.7 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 Florence CDP earn a median of $99,020 a year, 26.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 7% 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 6.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Florence CDP is valued at $270,100, 11% below the national figure and 35% below the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,247 a month, 11.3% below the national figure, or roughly $14,964 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.1% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 65.3% 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.
