East Patchogue, NY population, income and ZIP codes

East Patchogue CDP is a mid-size town in New York, with 21,364 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #76 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 94% of them. The median age here is 42.7 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 East Patchogue CDP earn a median of $107,721 a year, 37.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 17% 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 6.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in East Patchogue CDP is valued at $459,200, 51.4% above the national figure and 45% above the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,863 a month, 32.5% above the national figure, or roughly $22,356 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.8% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. 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. 74.9% 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
