Amenia CDP, NY in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Amenia CDP is a very small community in New York, with 928 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #884 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 31% of them. The median age here is 41.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Amenia CDP earn a median of $82,781 a year, 5.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 10% below the $91,806 median for the 847 New York cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 7.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Amenia CDP is valued at $269,200, 11.3% below the national figure and 15% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,345 a month, 4.3% below the national figure, or roughly $16,140 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 53.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 928 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Amenia CDP against its county rather than against national figures.
