Monroe, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Monroe village is a mid-size town in New York, with 9,466 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #214 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 83% of them. The median age here is 32.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Monroe village earn a median of $110,806 a year, 41.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 21% above the $91,806 median for the 847 New York cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 9.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Monroe village is valued at $404,200, 33.2% above the national figure and 28% above the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,984 a month, 41.1% above the national figure, or roughly $23,808 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.5% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 82.2% 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.
