Cragsmoor CDP, NY in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Cragsmoor CDP is a very small community in New York, with 542 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1035 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 19% of them. The median age here is 48.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Cragsmoor CDP earn a median of $77,467 a year, 1.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 16% below 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 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Cragsmoor CDP is valued at $236,800, 22% below the national figure and 25% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 100% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 542 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Cragsmoor CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Cragsmoor 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.
