Start with the dated local finding: In East Orange, NJ, the 2024 ACS reports a median owner-occupied home value of $365,900, median household income of $60,830, and median selected monthly owner costs of $2,615 for owners with a mortgage. Together, those three reference points may still help a borrower identify which search-price, income, and recurring-cost assumptions need current verification first. They remain separate medians, not the finances of one representative household, and the $2,615 measure combines recurring ownership expenses instead of real estate taxes alone. For borrower planning, a useful affordability review starts with $365,900, $60,830, and $2,615, then replaces them with the borrower's documented income, cash, debts, property taxes, insurance, association charges, loan terms, and intended occupancy.
East Orange, NJ's $365,900 median home-value estimate is below the statewide $454,400 estimate, with a reported city-to-state gap of 19.5%. That 19.5% gap is useful for showing that a statewide midpoint may be a poor substitute for a local search range in East Orange, NJ.
