Ringwood borough, NJ in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Ringwood borough is a mid-size town in New Jersey, with 11,600 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #123 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 82% of them. The median age here is 43.6 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 Ringwood borough earn a median of $142,529 a year, 81.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 33% above the $106,926 median for the 543 New Jersey cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 2.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Ringwood borough is valued at $434,800, 43.3% above the national figure and 5% above the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,934 a month, 37.6% above the national figure, or roughly $23,208 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.3% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 95.5% 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.
