Tiverton CDP, RI in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Tiverton CDP is a mid-size town in Rhode Island, with 8,151 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #15 of 36 ranked by population — larger than 60% of them. The median age here is 47 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 Tiverton CDP earn a median of $91,493 a year, 16.5% 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. 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 5.9% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Tiverton CDP is valued at $357,700, 17.9% above the national figure and within a couple of points of the $358,200 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,341 a month, 4.6% below the national figure, or roughly $16,092 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.6% 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 3.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 71.3% 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.
