Mohawk, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Mohawk village is a small town in New York, with 2,522 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #555 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 57% of them. The median age here is 48.9 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 Mohawk village earn a median of $82,869 a year, 5.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 10% below 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 13.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Mohawk village is valued at $115,400, 62% below the national figure and 63% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $699 a month, 50.3% below the national figure, or roughly $8,388 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 10.1% 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 1.4×, 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. 73.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not.
