White Meadow Lake CDP, NJ in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

White Meadow Lake CDP is a mid-size town in New Jersey, with 8,706 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #188 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 73% of them. The median age here is 40.6 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 White Meadow Lake CDP earn a median of $150,042 a year, 91% above the national figure of $78,538 and 40% 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 1.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in White Meadow Lake CDP is valued at $441,000, 45.4% above the national figure and 7% above the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,623 a month, 86.6% above the national figure, or roughly $31,476 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21% 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 90.8% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
