Elmont CDP, NY in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Elmont CDP is a small city in New York, with 36,436 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #29 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 38.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Elmont CDP earn a median of $120,917 a year, 54% above the national figure of $78,538 and 32% 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 4.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Elmont CDP is valued at $576,800, 90.1% above the national figure and 83% above the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,434 a month, 73.1% above the national figure, or roughly $29,208 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.2% 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 4.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 79.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
