Firthcliffe CDP, NY in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Firthcliffe CDP is a mid-size town in New York, with 5,268 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #345 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 73% 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 Firthcliffe CDP earn a median of $98,801 a year, 25.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 8% above 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 7.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Firthcliffe CDP is valued at $345,700, 13.9% above the national figure and 9% above the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,730 a month, 23% above the national figure, or roughly $20,760 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21% 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 68.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
