Great Bend, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Great Bend CDP is a very small community in New York, with 942 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #881 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 31% of them. The median age here is 26.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Great Bend CDP earn a median of not published a year. 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 31.8% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Great Bend CDP is valued at $125,000, 58.8% below the national figure and 60% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,345 a month, 4.3% below the national figure, or roughly $16,140 across a full year. 35% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 26.4 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 942 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Great Bend CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld household income for Great Bend CDP 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.
