Port Morris, NJ population, income and ZIP codes

Port Morris CDP is a small town in New Jersey, with 1,141 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #539 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 23% of them. The median age here is 37.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Port Morris CDP earn a median of $65,070 a year, 17.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 39% below the $106,926 median for the 543 New Jersey cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 9.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Port Morris CDP is valued at $391,400, 29% above the national figure and 5% below the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,493 a month, 6.2% above the national figure, or roughly $17,916 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 27.5% 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 6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 61.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
