Cold Spring Harbor, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Cold Spring Harbor CDP is a small town in New York, with 3,123 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #484 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 62% of them. The median age here is 36.8 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 Cold Spring Harbor CDP earn a median of $250,001 a year, 218.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 172% above 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 1.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Cold Spring Harbor CDP is valued at $1,466,800, 383.5% above the national figure and 364% above the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 96.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

The Census withheld gross rent for Cold Spring Harbor 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.
