North Arlington borough, NJ in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

North Arlington borough is a mid-size town in New Jersey, with 16,368 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #72 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 89% of them. The median age here is 39.6 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 North Arlington borough earn a median of $101,493 a year, 29.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 5% 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 3.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in North Arlington borough is valued at $464,700, 53.2% above the national figure and 13% above the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,706 a month, 21.3% above the national figure, or roughly $20,472 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.2% 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 4.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 46.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters.
