Horseheads North, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Horseheads North CDP is a small town in New York, with 2,600 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #541 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 58% of them. The median age here is 42.1 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 Horseheads North CDP earn a median of $84,139 a year, 7.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 8% below 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 4.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Horseheads North CDP is valued at $206,800, 31.8% below the national figure and 35% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,176 a month, 16.4% below the national figure, or roughly $14,112 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.8% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 82.7% 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
