National Park borough, NJ in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
National Park borough is a small town in New Jersey, with 3,043 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #384 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 45% of them. The median age here is 40.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 National Park borough earn a median of $81,507 a year, 3.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 24% 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 7.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in National Park borough is valued at $207,400, 31.6% below the national figure and 50% below the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,380 a month, 1.8% below the national figure, or roughly $16,560 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.3% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 84% 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. 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.
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.
