Pennsville CDP, NJ in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Pennsville CDP is a mid-size town in New Jersey, with 12,238 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #112 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 84% of them. The median age here is 40.7 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 Pennsville CDP earn a median of $75,162 a year, 4.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 30% below 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 12.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Pennsville CDP is valued at $188,100, 38% below the national figure and 54% below the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,225 a month, 12.9% below the national figure, or roughly $14,700 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.6% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 77.3% 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.
