Dobbs Ferry, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Dobbs Ferry village is a mid-size town in New York, with 11,397 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #171 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 86% of them. The median age here is 40.2 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 Dobbs Ferry village earn a median of $167,927 a year, 113.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 83% above 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 6.1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Dobbs Ferry village is valued at $719,300, 137.1% above the national figure and 128% above the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,346 a month, 66.9% above the national figure, or roughly $28,152 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.8% 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 4.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 62.3% 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.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
