Midland Park, NJ population, income and ZIP codes

Midland Park borough is a mid-size town in New Jersey, with 6,996 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #228 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 67% of them. The median age here is 42.7 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 Midland Park borough earn a median of $140,063 a year, 78.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 31% 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 1.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Midland Park borough is valued at $586,200, 93.2% above the national figure and 42% above the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,837 a month, 30.7% above the national figure, or roughly $22,044 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.7% 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 4.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 69.5% 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.
