Albertson, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Albertson CDP is a small town in New York, with 4,859 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #364 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 71% of them. The median age here is 48.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Albertson CDP earn a median of $157,690 a year, 100.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 72% above the $91,806 median for the 847 New York cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 3.1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Albertson CDP is valued at $739,100, 143.6% above the national figure and 134% above the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,723 a month, 93.7% above the national figure, or roughly $32,676 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.7% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 94.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
