Gordon Heights, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Gordon Heights CDP is a small town in New York, with 4,095 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #406 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 68% of them. The median age here is 33.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Gordon Heights CDP earn a median of $107,317 a year, 36.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 17% above the $91,806 median for the 847 New York cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 10.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Gordon Heights CDP is valued at $363,700, 19.9% above the national figure and 15% above the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,356 a month, 67.6% above the national figure, or roughly $28,272 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.3% 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 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 86.5% 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
