Woodbury median income rose from $41,827 to $58,629 from 2000 to 2010. Despite this increase, Woodbury has challenges associated with poverty and low-income residents. In 2010, Woodbury had twice the rate of householders making under $10,000 as did New Jersey; however, if one looks at the age of residents living below the poverty line, Woodbury’s figures were slightly lower than those of New Jersey with one significant exception. Woodbury had twice the rate of residents aged 65 and older living below the poverty line in 2010. These statistics indicate a sizable disadvantaged elderly population in Woodbury. Lower-income residents in Woodbury are concentrated in the block groups located east of Broad Street in the southern portion of the city. These block groups also contain the largest concentration of renters and minority populations in Woodbury (see Figure 9).
