Silver Lake (Cumberland Co.), NJ population, income and ZIP codes

Silver Lake CDP (Cumberland County) is a small town in New Jersey, with 1,447 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #516 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 26% of them. The median age here is 45 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Silver Lake CDP (Cumberland County) earn a median of $88,217 a year, 12.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 17% 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 2.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Silver Lake CDP (Cumberland County) is valued at $304,800, essentially level with the national figure and 26% below the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 86.7% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

The Census withheld gross rent for Silver Lake CDP (Cumberland County) because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
