Fort Johnson village, NY in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Fort Johnson village is a very small community in New York, with 397 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1108 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 14% of them. The median age here is 42.8 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 Fort Johnson village earn a median of $62,333 a year, 20.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 32% below 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 11.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Fort Johnson village is valued at $124,500, 59% below the national figure and 61% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,119 a month, 20.4% below the national figure, or roughly $13,428 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.5% 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 2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 66.1% 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.
