Questions about Newark

How do I find Newark's trash and bulk-pickup schedule for a new address?

Start with the interactive zone map linked from Public Works, then read that zone's collection schedule and the holiday or service-change notices. Use the bulk-collection instructions for larger items instead of assuming they follow the household-trash schedule.

What is the median home value in Newark?

The 2020–2024 ACS estimate for the median value of owner-occupied homes in Newark is $373,700 in 2024 dollars. This describes owner-reported values over a five-year period. For a purchase or sale today, request recent comparable transactions for the specific neighborhood and property type.

What is the median rent in Newark?

The 2020–2024 ACS median monthly gross rent for Newark is $1,392 in 2024 dollars. Gross rent includes contract rent and applicable utility and fuel costs. It is a historical survey estimate, not today's asking rent or a quote for an individual property.

Does this describe a specific neighborhood?

These figures cover Newark city, New Jersey. City boundaries, ZIP codes, school attendance areas, and named neighborhoods can differ. Use a property's address to check the details that matter to you; a city-wide median will not describe every block or home.

How can I compare Newark with another place?

Use the city comparison to view figures from the same ACS release side by side. Then compare current property choices, your actual commute, and address-specific conditions. Differences between survey estimates can fall within their margins of error; the comparison does not rank which place is best.
