Hancock village, NY in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Hancock village is a very small community in New York, with 876 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #898 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 30% of them. The median age here is 44.6 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 Hancock village earn a median of $50,547 a year, 35.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 45% 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 14.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hancock village is valued at $145,300, 52.1% below the national figure and 54% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,051 a month, 25.2% below the national figure, or roughly $12,612 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25% 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 56.6% 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.
