Copiague CDP, NY in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Copiague CDP is a mid-size town in New York, with 23,332 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #70 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 94% of them. The median age here is 37.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Copiague CDP earn a median of $121,098 a year, 54.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 32% 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 8.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Copiague CDP is valued at $463,300, 52.7% above the national figure and 47% above the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,003 a month, 42.5% above the national figure, or roughly $24,036 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.8% 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 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 78.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
