Springfield CDP, NJ in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Springfield CDP is a small town in New Jersey, with 1,338 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #526 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 24% of them. The median age here is 42 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 Springfield CDP earn a median of $177,045 a year, 125.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 66% above the $106,926 median for the 543 New Jersey cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 0.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Springfield CDP is valued at $580,900, 91.5% above the national figure and 41% above the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,224 a month, 58.2% above the national figure, or roughly $26,688 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.1% 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 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 79.1% 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.
All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
