Brewster village, NY in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Brewster village is a small town in New York, with 2,510 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #557 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 56% of them. The median age here is 34.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Brewster village earn a median of $65,881 a year, 16.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 28% 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 12.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Brewster village is valued at $351,800, 16% above the national figure and 11% above the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,667 a month, 18.6% above the national figure, or roughly $20,004 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 30.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 20.7% 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.
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.
