Deer Park CDP, NY in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Deer Park CDP is a small city in New York, with 27,334 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #55 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 95% of them. The median age here is 41.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Deer Park CDP earn a median of $138,950 a year, 76.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 51% above 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 4.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Deer Park CDP is valued at $497,900, 64.1% above the national figure and 58% above the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,882 a month, 33.9% above the national figure, or roughly $22,584 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.3% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 85.1% 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. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
