Greece CDP, NY in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Greece CDP is a mid-size town in New York, with 14,053 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #145 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 88% of them. The median age here is 43.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Greece CDP earn a median of $67,223 a year, 14.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 27% below 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 9.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Greece CDP is valued at $157,600, 48.1% below the national figure and 50% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,043 a month, 25.8% below the national figure, or roughly $12,516 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.3×, 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. 69.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
