Fort Dix, NJ population, income and ZIP codes

Fort Dix CDP is a mid-size town in New Jersey, with 8,034 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #206 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 70% of them. The median age here is 36.1 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 Fort Dix CDP earn a median of $98,259 a year, 25.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 8% below the $106,926 median for the 543 New Jersey cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 5.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Fort Dix CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $2,383 a month, 69.5% above the national figure, or roughly $28,596 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 29.1% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. 0.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

The Census withheld home value for Fort Dix CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
