Pitman borough, NJ in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Pitman borough is a mid-size town in New Jersey, with 8,834 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #184 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 73% of them. The median age here is 40.9 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 Pitman borough earn a median of $96,199 a year, 22.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 10% 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 4.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Pitman borough is valued at $258,400, 14.8% below the national figure and 37% below the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,474 a month, 4.8% above the national figure, or roughly $17,688 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.4% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 73.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.

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.
