Westmont CDP, NJ in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Westmont CDP is a mid-size town in New Jersey, with 13,870 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #95 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 86% of them. The median age here is 40.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Westmont CDP earn a median of $111,589 a year, 42.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 4% 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 6.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Westmont CDP is valued at $374,300, 23.4% above the national figure and 9% below the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,728 a month, 22.9% above the national figure, or roughly $20,736 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.6% 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 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 64.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
