Northport village, NY in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Northport village is a mid-size town in New York, with 7,320 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #262 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 79% of them. The median age here is 52.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Northport village earn a median of $141,378 a year, 80% above the national figure of $78,538 and 54% above 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 11.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Northport village is valued at $708,400, 133.5% above the national figure and 124% above the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,070 a month, 47.2% above the national figure, or roughly $24,840 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.6% 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 5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 83.8% 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.
A median age of 52.2 puts Northport village 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.
