Gouldtown CDP, NJ in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Gouldtown CDP is a small town in New Jersey, with 1,555 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #501 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 28% of them. The median age here is 39.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Gouldtown CDP earn a median of $53,281 a year, 32.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 50% below 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.

A household on the local median income would put about 28.2% 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 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 71.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners.
