Demographics
A Portrait of Hull
Hull’s land adds up to 2.875 square miles, the smallest land area of any town in Plymouth County, and its census tract counts far more water than land. Onto that sliver of peninsula the town fits about 3,503 people per square mile, and the numbers describe a town that is older and more owner-occupied than the Commonwealth as a whole. One resident in four is 65 or over, while 11.7 percent are under 18. More than eight homes in ten are lived in by their owners, and the median home is valued at $606,100. The median household income is $127,112 and the poverty rate is 5.3 percent. Figures below are from the U.S. Census Bureau and the Secretary of the Commonwealth.
