Leisure Village East, NJ population, income and ZIP codes

Leisure Village East CDP is a small town in New Jersey, with 4,309 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #327 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 53% of them. The median age here is 74.1 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 Leisure Village East CDP earn a median of $47,231 a year, 39.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 56% 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 8.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Leisure Village East CDP is valued at $211,600, 30.3% below the national figure and 49% below the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,237 a month, 12% below the national figure, or roughly $14,844 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 31.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 88.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 74.1 puts Leisure Village East CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.
