Wrightstown borough, NJ in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Wrightstown borough is a very small community in New Jersey, with 522 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #611 of 700 ranked by population — larger than 12% of them. The median age here is 32.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Wrightstown borough earn a median of $52,222 a year, 33.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 51% 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 15.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Wrightstown borough is valued at $224,000, 26.2% below the national figure and 46% below the $412,500 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,114 a month, 20.8% below the national figure, or roughly $13,368 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25.6% 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 4.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 44.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 522 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Wrightstown borough against its county rather than against national figures.
