Great Neck Plaza, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Great Neck Plaza village is a mid-size town in New York, with 7,503 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #254 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 80% of them. The median age here is 49 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Great Neck Plaza village earn a median of $106,549 a year, 35.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 16% above 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 6.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Great Neck Plaza village is valued at $381,900, 25.9% above the national figure and 21% above the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,386 a month, 69.7% above the national figure, or roughly $28,632 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.9% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 55.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

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.
