Woodbridge CDP, NJ in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Woodbridge CDP is a mid-size town in New Jersey, with 20,086 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #57 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 91% of them. The median age here is 38.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Woodbridge CDP earn a median of $99,718 a year, 27% above the national figure of $78,538 and 7% below the $106,926 median for the 543 New Jersey cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 7.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Woodbridge CDP is valued at $361,200, 19.1% above the national figure and 12% below the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,077 a month, 47.7% above the national figure, or roughly $24,924 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 52.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
