Arlington CDP, NY in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Arlington CDP is a small town in New York, with 2,522 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #554 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 57% of them. The median age here is 39.9 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 Arlington CDP earn a median of $82,983 a year, 5.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 10% below the $91,806 median for the 847 New York cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 7.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Arlington CDP is valued at $273,000, 10% below the national figure and 14% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,523 a month, 8.3% above the national figure, or roughly $18,276 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22% 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 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 38.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
