Cooperstown village, NY in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Cooperstown village is a small town in New York, with 2,113 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #606 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 53% of them. The median age here is 41.5 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 Cooperstown village earn a median of $70,179 a year, 10.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 24% 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 9.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Cooperstown village is valued at $376,200, 24% above the national figure and 19% above the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,149 a month, 18.3% below the national figure, or roughly $13,788 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.6% 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 5.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 54.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
