Galway village, NY in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Galway village is a very small community in New York, with 187 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1226 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 5% of them. The median age here is 42.3 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 Galway village earn a median of $73,438 a year, 6.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 20% below the $91,806 median for the 847 New York cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 2.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Galway village is valued at $215,400, 29% below the national figure and 32% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 68.4% 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.

The Census withheld gross rent for Galway village 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.
