ZIP 07033 in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

ZIP 07033 is a mid-size town in Union County, New Jersey, with 8,339 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #340 of 598 ranked by population — larger than 43% of them. The median age here is 38.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 07033 earn a median of $126,295 a year, 60.8% above the national figure of $78,538. 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 6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 07033 is valued at $521,100, 71.8% above the national figure, while median gross rent runs $2,119 a month, 50.7% above the national figure, or roughly $25,428 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.1% 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 4.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 72.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.

Reading ZIP 07033 in context

How 07033 sits inside Union County and New Jersey.

ZIP 07033 is tabulated inside Union County, New Jersey, one of 26 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 598 across New Jersey. Population sits in the small-town band, typically one main street plus the addresses that feed into it. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 07033 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 07033 reports a median household income of $126,295, 23% above the $102,683 county median, and 16% above the $109,182 typical NJ ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $521,100, 22% above the county figure and 23% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $2,119 a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

New Jersey charges 6.625% statewide, and no local sales tax is layered on top, so the state rate is the full amount collected in 07033.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 07033 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
