Canisteo village, NY in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Canisteo village is a small town in New York, with 1,998 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #626 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 51% of them. The median age here is 43.4 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 Canisteo village earn a median of $64,116 a year, 18.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 30% 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 13.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Canisteo village is valued at $103,300, 66% below the national figure and 67% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $735 a month, 47.7% below the national figure, or roughly $8,820 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.8% 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 1.6×, 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. 75% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
