Franklin Park, NJ population, income and ZIP codes

Franklin Park CDP is a mid-size town in New Jersey, with 13,327 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #100 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 85% of them. The median age here is 38.4 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 Franklin Park CDP earn a median of $111,508 a year, 42% above the national figure of $78,538 and 4% above 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 8.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Franklin Park CDP is valued at $326,800, 7.7% above the national figure and 21% below the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,074 a month, 47.5% above the national figure, or roughly $24,888 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.3% 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 56.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.

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.
