ZIP code 01003

ZIP 01003 is a mid-size town in Hampshire County, Massachusetts, with 12,458 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #215 of 539 ranked by population — larger than 60% of them. The median age here is 19.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 ZIP 01003 earn a median of not published a year. 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 13.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 01003 is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $2,667 a month, 89.7% above the national figure, or roughly $32,004 across a full year. 0% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

A median age of 19.7 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.

The Census withheld household income, home value for ZIP 01003 because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
