ZIP code 08026

ZIP 08026 is a small town in Camden County, New Jersey, with 2,337 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #502 of 598 ranked by population — larger than 16% of them. The median age here is 40.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 ZIP 08026 earn a median of $99,881 a year, 27.2% above the national figure of $78,538. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 4.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 08026 is valued at $278,200, 8.3% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 90.5% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

The Census withheld gross rent for ZIP 08026 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.

ZIP 08026 is tabulated inside Camden County, New Jersey, one of 34 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 598 across New Jersey. Fewer than 2,500 people are counted here, so the ZIP behaves like a village delivery route rather than a neighbourhood. 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 08026 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 08026 reports a median household income of $99,881, 5% above the $95,038 county median, and 9% below the $109,182 typical NJ ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $278,200, 12% above the county figure and 34% below the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at not published 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 08026.

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 08026 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.
