Cairo CDP, NY in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Cairo CDP is a small town in New York, with 1,565 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #718 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 44% of them. The median age here is 38.1 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 Cairo CDP earn a median of $54,479 a year, 30.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 41% 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 8.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Cairo CDP is valued at $197,000, 35.1% below the national figure and 38% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,327 a month, 5.6% below the national figure, or roughly $15,924 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 29.2% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 47.4% 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.
