Clifton Gardens, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Clifton Gardens CDP is a small town in New York, with 2,332 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #574 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 55% of them. The median age here is 37.3 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 Clifton Gardens CDP earn a median of $85,551 a year, 8.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 7% 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 0.9% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Clifton Gardens CDP is valued at $297,900, 1.8% below the national figure and 6% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,331 a month, 5.3% below the national figure, or roughly $15,972 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.7% 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. 72.4% 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.

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.
