What makes Emerson different
Home Value, By Source
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2023 5-year estimate) puts Emerson's median home value — across all owner-occupied homes, not just recent sales — at $626,000. Separately, Bergen County's current median listing price (via Realtor.com data, 2026-06-01) runs $799,000. These cover different geography (city vs. county) and different measures (assessed value vs. active listings), which is why we show both rather than picking one — full source list on our data sources page.

Bergen County's FHFA house price index shows a 6.79% annual change in 2025.
Population & Income
Emerson has an estimated population of 7,263 and a median household income of $153,963, per the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2023 5-year estimate).

Housing economists commonly flag a price-to-income ratio above 4x as historically elevated -- useful context, not a personal affordability verdict.
