Oakdale, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Oakdale CDP is a mid-size town in New York, with 7,171 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #273 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 78% of them. The median age here is 48.2 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 Oakdale CDP earn a median of $129,809 a year, 65.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 41% 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 5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Oakdale CDP is valued at $595,200, 96.2% above the national figure and 88% above the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,336 a month, 66.1% above the national figure, or roughly $28,032 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.6% 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 4.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 83.1% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

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.
