Dexter village, NY in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Dexter village is a very small community in New York, with 828 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #907 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 29% of them. The median age here is 41 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 Dexter village earn a median of $49,826 a year, 36.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 46% 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 17.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Dexter village is valued at $152,600, 49.7% below the national figure and 52% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $609 a month, 56.7% below the national figure, or roughly $7,308 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.7% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 63.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
