Hewlett CDP, NY in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Hewlett CDP is a mid-size town in New York, with 7,599 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #251 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 80% of them. The median age here is 40.6 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 Hewlett CDP earn a median of $135,139 a year, 72.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 47% 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 5.9% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hewlett CDP is valued at $609,800, 101% above the national figure and 93% above the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,295 a month, 63.2% above the national figure, or roughly $27,540 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.4% 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 4.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 86.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
