Secaucus town, NJ in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Secaucus town is a mid-size town in New Jersey, with 21,437 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #52 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 92% 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 Secaucus town earn a median of $134,746 a year, 71.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 26% above 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 6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Secaucus town is valued at $557,800, 83.8% above the national figure and 35% above the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,197 a month, 56.3% above the national figure, or roughly $26,364 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.6% 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 4.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 49.3% 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.
