Runnemede borough, NJ in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Runnemede borough is a mid-size town in New Jersey, with 8,310 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #198 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 71% of them. The median age here is 36.1 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 Runnemede borough earn a median of $100,366 a year, 27.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 6% 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 9.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Runnemede borough is valued at $217,500, 28.3% below the national figure and 47% below the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,383 a month, 1.6% below the national figure, or roughly $16,596 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.5% 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 2.2×, 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. 71.3% 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.
