High Falls CDP, NY in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
High Falls CDP is a very small community in New York, with 624 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #993 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 23% of them. The median age here is 49.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 High Falls CDP earn a median of $60,724 a year, 22.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 34% 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 14.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in High Falls CDP is valued at $285,200, 6% below the national figure and 10% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 88% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
With 624 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare High Falls CDP against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld gross rent for High Falls CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
