Cape Vincent village, NY in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Cape Vincent village is a very small community in New York, with 531 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1042 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 19% of them. The median age here is 40 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 Cape Vincent village earn a median of $58,229 a year, 25.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 37% below the $91,806 median for the 847 New York cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 14.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Cape Vincent village is valued at $202,300, 33.3% below the national figure and 36% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $774 a month, 45% below the national figure, or roughly $9,288 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16% 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 71.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
