Hancocks Bridge, NJ population, income and ZIP codes

Hancocks Bridge CDP is a very small community in New Jersey, with 296 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #643 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 8% of them. The median age here is 37.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Hancocks Bridge CDP earn a median of $85,000 a year, 8.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 21% 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. Poverty reaches 4.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hancocks Bridge CDP is valued at $134,700, 55.6% below the national figure and 67% below the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,714 a month, 21.9% above the national figure, or roughly $20,568 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.2% 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 1.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 55.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
