Woodbury city, NJ in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Woodbury city is a mid-size town in New Jersey, with 9,992 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #158 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 77% of them. The median age here is 39.4 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 Woodbury city earn a median of $74,769 a year, 4.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 30% below 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 13.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Woodbury city is valued at $207,900, 31.5% below the national figure and 50% below the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $957 a month, 31.9% below the national figure, or roughly $11,484 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.4% 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 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 65.1% 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.
