Lake Katrine, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Lake Katrine CDP is a small town in New York, with 2,284 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #578 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 55% of them. The median age here is 51.3 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 Lake Katrine CDP earn a median of $64,038 a year, 18.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 30% 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 13.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lake Katrine CDP is valued at $210,700, 30.6% below the national figure and 33% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,593 a month, 13.3% above the national figure, or roughly $19,116 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 29.9% 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 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 51.3% 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.

A median age of 51.3 puts Lake Katrine CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.

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.
