ZIP 08066 in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

ZIP 08066 is a mid-size town in Gloucester County, New Jersey, with 7,412 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #368 of 598 ranked by population — larger than 38% of them. The median age here is 40.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 08066 earn a median of $62,412 a year, 20.5% below 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 12.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 08066 is valued at $166,600, 45.1% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,092 a month, 22.3% below the national figure, or roughly $13,104 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 64% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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 08066 in context

How 08066 sits inside Gloucester County and New Jersey.

ZIP 08066 is tabulated inside Gloucester 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 08066 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 08066 reports a median household income of $62,412, 36% below the $97,452 county median, and 43% below the $109,182 typical NJ ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $166,600, 36% below the county figure and 61% below the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $1,092 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 08066.

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 08066 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.
