Dix Hills CDP, NY in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Dix Hills CDP is a small city in New York, with 25,042 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #66 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 94% of them. The median age here is 46.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Dix Hills CDP earn a median of $219,636 a year, 179.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 139% above the $91,806 median for the 847 New York cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 3.6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Dix Hills CDP is valued at $891,400, 193.8% above the national figure and 182% above the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,804 a month, 99.4% above the national figure, or roughly $33,648 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.3% 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 4.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 96.8% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
