Occupied homes · Census ACSACS. American Community Survey: the Census Bureau’s rolling survey. Figures here are five-year estimates, so “2023” means the survey years 2019–2023, not a count taken that year. 2020–2024 · 90% margin: ± 10.9 points
What it costs per month
No monthly cost is worked out for ZIP 08608. Zillow publishes no home value here, and there are too few recent qualifying sales to stand a purchase price on. The owner-reported value in the tables is a survey five years old, too old to price a mortgage on.
