Keyport borough, NJ in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Keyport borough is a mid-size town in New Jersey, with 7,159 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #226 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 67% of them. The median age here is 43.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Keyport borough earn a median of $79,036 a year, essentially level with the national figure of $78,538 and 26% below the $106,926 median for the 543 New Jersey cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 9.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Keyport borough is valued at $374,800, 23.5% above the national figure and 9% below the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,379 a month, 1.9% below the national figure, or roughly $16,548 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.9% 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 4.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 55.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
