Woodstown borough, NJ in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Woodstown borough is a small town in New Jersey, with 3,690 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #352 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 49% of them. The median age here is 42.2 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 Woodstown borough earn a median of $101,855 a year, 29.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 5% 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 7.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Woodstown borough is valued at $231,700, 23.6% below the national figure and 44% below the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,223 a month, 13% below the national figure, or roughly $14,676 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.4% 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 2.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 62.4% 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.

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.
