Angola on the Lake, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Angola on the Lake CDP is a small town in New York, with 1,699 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #695 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 46% of them. The median age here is 49.3 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 Angola on the Lake CDP earn a median of $62,188 a year, 20.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 32% 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 11.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Angola on the Lake CDP is valued at $137,600, 54.6% below the national figure and 56% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,188 a month, 15.5% below the national figure, or roughly $14,256 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.9% 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 2.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 83.4% 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. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

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.
