Sewaren CDP, NJ in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Sewaren CDP is a small town in New Jersey, with 3,196 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #372 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 46% of them. The median age here is 45.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Sewaren CDP earn a median of $106,926 a year, 36.1% 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. 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 2.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Sewaren CDP is valued at $414,900, 36.8% above the national figure and within a couple of points of the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,382 a month, 1.7% below the national figure, or roughly $16,584 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.5% 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 3.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 70.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
