Clayton village, NY in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Clayton village is a small town in New York, with 1,669 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #704 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 45% of them. The median age here is 44.6 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 Clayton village earn a median of $57,125 a year, 27.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 38% 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 16.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Clayton village is valued at $192,900, 36.4% below the national figure and 39% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,057 a month, 24.8% below the national figure, or roughly $12,684 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.2% 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 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 47.1% 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.
