Lincoln Park borough, NJ in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Lincoln Park borough is a mid-size town in New Jersey, with 10,901 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #135 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 80% of them. The median age here is 48 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Lincoln Park borough earn a median of $119,000 a year, 51.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 11% above 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 3.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Lincoln Park borough is valued at $419,500, 38.3% above the national figure and within a couple of points of the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,824 a month, 29.7% above the national figure, or roughly $21,888 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.4% 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 77.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
