Eldred, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Eldred CDP is a very small community in New York, with 201 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1216 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 5% of them. The median age here is 56.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Eldred CDP earn a median of $60,134 a year, 23.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 34% below the $91,806 median for the 847 New York cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 16.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Eldred CDP is valued at $320,000, 5.5% above the national figure and within a couple of points of the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 91.4% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 56.4 puts Eldred CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 201 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Eldred CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Eldred CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
