ZIP 02910 in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

ZIP 02910 is a mid-size town in Providence County, Rhode Island, with 23,406 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #18 of 81 ranked by population — larger than 78% of them. The median age here is 37.2 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 02910 earn a median of $85,909 a year, 9.4% above the national figure of $78,538. 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 10.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 02910 is valued at $302,400, essentially level with the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,385 a month, 1.5% below the national figure, or roughly $16,620 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.3% 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 68.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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 02910 in context

How 02910 sits inside Providence County and Rhode Island.

ZIP 02910 is tabulated inside Providence County, Rhode Island, one of 42 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 81 across Rhode Island. This is a mid-sized suburban ZIP inside a county that is split across many delivery areas. 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 02910 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 02910 reports a median household income of $85,909, 6% below the $91,287 county median, and 12% below the $97,650 typical RI ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $302,400, 9% below the county figure and 20% below the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $1,385 a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

Rhode Island charges 7% statewide, and no local sales tax is layered on top, so the state rate is the full amount collected in 02910.

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 02910 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.
