Greenville, RI population, income and ZIP codes

Greenville CDP is a mid-size town in Rhode Island, with 8,586 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #14 of 36 ranked by population — larger than 62% of them. The median age here is 52.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Greenville CDP earn a median of $94,567 a year, 20.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of the $93,653 median for the 28 Rhode Island cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 4.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Greenville CDP is valued at $390,900, 28.8% above the national figure and 9% above the $358,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,110 a month, 21.1% below the national figure, or roughly $13,320 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.1% 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 4.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 86.5% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 52.4 puts Greenville CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.
