Showing 193 cities in New Jersey meeting the ACS income display filter. MOE is the ACS 90% margin of error. $250,000+ is an open-ended bound, not an exact median or a tie. The unranked top group is alphabetical. Blank numerical ranks and MOEs for bound rows are intentional.

Source detail for this table

Values in this table inherit the source agency, native geography, transformation, and caveats below.

Source detail: Income estimate

Income estimate

Source agency: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey
Dataset: ACS 5-Year 2020–2024
Vintage / period: Released 2026-01-29
Native geography: ACS place-level estimates where the Census Bureau publishes the field for this GEOID.
Transformation: Joined by GEOID with typed missingness, 90% margins of error, and separate bounds for open-ended medians. National benchmarks use the same ACS release; derived shares carry approximate MOEs.

Known limit: Five-year survey estimate. Small places can have wide margins of error. Bounds cannot enter exact comparisons; descriptive deltas do not establish statistical significance.

Native geography: Census PEP subcounty place records for the included city universe.
Transformation: Copied from POPESTIMATE2025, joined by Census GEOID, and used for ranks, filters, and city pages.

Known limit: Annual estimate, not a decennial count; each new PEP vintage can revise the prior series.

Methodology · New Jersey ACS B19013

New Jersey median household income estimates, with MOE shown.

The ranking value is ACS table B19013 line 001 estimate, Median household income in the past 12 months, from the 2020-2024 5-Year ACS release. The MOE column is the published ACS 90% margin of error for that estimate.

Census reports some medians only as bounds. $250,000+ means at least $250,000, not an exact income or a tie. These places remain in an unranked open-ended top group, sorted alphabetically. Any bottom-coded medians remain in an unranked bottom group. No usable conventional MOE is published for these bounds. Numeric ranks count all places ahead, including the top group, so the first point estimate follows that group. Point estimates with identical published values share a rank. Rank differences do not establish statistically significant income differences.

Rows are limited to New Jersey cities with 2025 Census PEP population of at least 5,000 and a published ACS median household income point estimate or bound. CSV exports preserve the point estimate separately from the bound and its direction. An unavailable estimate without a published bound does not qualify.

Do not read this page as a list of wealthiest places. The data reports median household income only; it does not measure assets, net worth, purchasing power, taxes, household size, or local prices.
