Hampton borough, NJ in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Hampton borough is a small town in New Jersey, with 1,127 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #541 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 22% of them. The median age here is 43.4 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 Hampton borough earn a median of $77,222 a year, 1.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 28% 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 13.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hampton borough is valued at $298,000, 1.8% below the national figure and 28% below the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,048 a month, 25.5% below the national figure, or roughly $12,576 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.3% 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 3.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 71.5% 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.
