Hartwick, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Hartwick CDP is a very small community in New York, with 352 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1127 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 12% of them. The median age here is 43.9 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 Hartwick CDP earn a median of $54,375 a year, 30.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 41% 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 20.5% 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 Hartwick CDP is valued at $185,600, 38.8% below the national figure and 41% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $746 a month, 46.9% below the national figure, or roughly $8,952 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.5% 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 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 51.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

With 352 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Hartwick CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
