Roselle Park borough, NJ in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Roselle Park borough is a mid-size town in New Jersey, with 13,965 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #94 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 86% of them. The median age here is 38.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Roselle Park borough earn a median of $104,418 a year, 33% above the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of the $106,926 median for the 543 New Jersey cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 5.1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Roselle Park borough is valued at $405,800, 33.8% above the national figure and within a couple of points of the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,585 a month, 12.7% above the national figure, or roughly $19,020 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.2% 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 3.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 59.6% 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.
