Cortland West, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Cortland West CDP is a small town in New York, with 1,185 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #801 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 38% of them. The median age here is 35.7 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 Cortland West CDP earn a median of $130,875 a year, 66.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 43% above the $91,806 median for the 847 New York cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 2.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Cortland West CDP is valued at $231,300, 23.8% below the national figure and 27% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 90.8% 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 Cortland West 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.
