Oradell borough, NJ in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Oradell borough is a mid-size town in New Jersey, with 8,197 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #200 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 71% of them. The median age here is 43.5 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 Oradell borough earn a median of $214,736 a year, 173.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 101% 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 3.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Oradell borough is valued at $702,400, 131.5% above the national figure and 70% above the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,202 a month, 56.6% above the national figure, or roughly $26,424 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12.3% 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 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 89.7% 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.
