Chautauqua, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Chautauqua CDP is a very small community in New York, with 340 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1136 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 12% of them. The median age here is 48.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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.

Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 27.3% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Chautauqua CDP is valued at $732,100, 141.3% above the national figure and 132% above the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 76.7% 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.

The Census withheld household income, gross rent for Chautauqua CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
