Smithville CDP, NJ in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Smithville CDP is a mid-size town in New Jersey, with 9,260 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #170 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 75% of them. The median age here is 47.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Smithville CDP earn a median of $72,875 a year, 7.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 32% below 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 8.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Smithville CDP is valued at $270,600, 10.8% below the national figure and 34% below the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,477 a month, 5% above the national figure, or roughly $17,724 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.3% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 76.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
