Clifton Springs, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Clifton Springs village is a small town in New York, with 2,124 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #603 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 53% of them. The median age here is 43.5 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 Clifton Springs village earn a median of $62,500 a year, 20.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 32% below the $91,806 median for the 847 New York cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 15.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Clifton Springs village is valued at $163,900, 46% below the national figure and 48% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $699 a month, 50.3% below the national figure, or roughly $8,388 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.4% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 58.4% 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.

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.
