East Kingston, NY population, income and ZIP codes

East Kingston CDP is a very small community in New York, with 219 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1202 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 6% of them. The median age here is 40.4 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 East Kingston CDP earn a median of $69,306 a year, 11.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 25% below the $91,806 median for the 847 New York cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 25.6% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in East Kingston CDP is valued at $192,900, 36.4% below the national figure and 39% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,069 a month, 24% below the national figure, or roughly $12,828 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.5% 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 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 71% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
