Pine Ridge at Crestwood, NJ population, income and ZIP codes

Pine Ridge at Crestwood CDP is a small town in New Jersey, with 2,756 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #404 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 42% of them. The median age here is 67.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Pine Ridge at Crestwood CDP earn a median of $61,563 a year, 21.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 42% 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 8.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Pine Ridge at Crestwood CDP is valued at $133,800, 55.9% below the national figure and 68% below the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,698 a month, 20.8% above the national figure, or roughly $20,376 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 33.1% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.2×, 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. 93.6% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Pine Ridge at Crestwood CDP is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 33.1% of median income while homes cost only 2.2× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price. A median age of 67.6 puts Pine Ridge at Crestwood CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
