Roebling, NJ population, income and ZIP codes

Roebling CDP is a small town in New Jersey, with 3,591 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #356 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 49% of them. The median age here is 38.7 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 Roebling CDP earn a median of $83,083 a year, 5.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 22% 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 7.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Roebling CDP is valued at $185,500, 38.9% below the national figure and 55% below the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,835 a month, 30.5% above the national figure, or roughly $22,020 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.5% 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 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. 87.8% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

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.
