Jericho CDP, NY in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Jericho CDP is a mid-size town in New York, with 14,117 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #144 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 88% of them. The median age here is 44.9 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 Jericho CDP earn a median of $180,072 a year, 129.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 96% above the $91,806 median for the 847 New York cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 6% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Jericho CDP is valued at $923,600, 204.4% above the national figure and 192% above the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $3,098 a month, 120.3% above the national figure, or roughly $37,176 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.6% 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 5.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 81.7% 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. 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.
All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
