Pascoag CDP, RI in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Pascoag CDP is a small town in Rhode Island, with 4,081 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #17 of 36 ranked by population — larger than 54% of them. The median age here is 37.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Pascoag CDP earn a median of $101,359 a year, 29.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 8% above the $93,653 median for the 28 Rhode Island cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 12.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Pascoag CDP is valued at $335,400, 10.5% above the national figure and 6% below the $358,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,181 a month, 16% below the national figure, or roughly $14,172 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14% 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 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 66.7% 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.
