Kiamesha Lake, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Kiamesha Lake CDP is a very small community in New York, with 348 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1131 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 12% of them. The median age here is 40.6 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 Kiamesha Lake CDP earn a median of $75,357 a year, 4.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 18% 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 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Kiamesha Lake CDP is valued at $111,400, 63.3% below the national figure and 65% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,602 a month, 13.9% above the national figure, or roughly $19,224 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25.5% 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 1.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 55.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
