Kingston CDP, NJ in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Kingston CDP is a small town in New Jersey, with 1,557 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #500 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 28% of them. The median age here is 48.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Kingston CDP earn a median of $86,712 a year, 10.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 19% 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 2.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Kingston CDP is valued at $380,200, 25.3% above the national figure and 8% below the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,589 a month, 13% above the national figure, or roughly $19,068 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22% 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 4.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 65.8% 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.

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.
