Mount Ephraim borough, NJ in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Mount Ephraim borough is a small town in New Jersey, with 4,648 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #310 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 55% of them. The median age here is 38.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Mount Ephraim borough earn a median of $95,137 a year, 21.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 11% below the $106,926 median for the 543 New Jersey cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 8.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Mount Ephraim borough is valued at $223,800, 26.2% below the national figure and 46% below the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,509 a month, 7.3% above the national figure, or roughly $18,108 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19% 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 2.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 66.4% 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.
No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
