Flemington borough's median household income is $69,978, notably below the $145,335 figure cited for the broader 5-mile radius around Flemington's center -- a real, disclosed gap tied to the borough's smaller footprint and denser, more modest in-town housing stock.

Flemington's effective property tax rate is 3.02%, above both Hunterdon County's own approximately 2.18% average and New Jersey's nation-leading 1.88% statewide average -- a real, material cost.
