Lindenwold borough, NJ in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Lindenwold borough is a mid-size town in New Jersey, with 21,534 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #51 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 92% of them. The median age here is 35.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Lindenwold borough earn a median of $55,099 a year, 29.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 48% 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 24.3% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lindenwold borough is valued at $168,300, 44.5% below the national figure and 59% below the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,265 a month, 10% below the national figure, or roughly $15,180 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 27.6% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 33.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
