Oceanside CDP, NY in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Oceanside CDP is a small city in New York, with 31,907 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #38 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 44.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. 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 Oceanside CDP earn a median of $145,282 a year, 85% above the national figure of $78,538 and 58% 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 2.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Oceanside CDP is valued at $626,700, 106.6% above the national figure and 98% above the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,118 a month, 50.6% above the national figure, or roughly $25,416 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.5% 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 4.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 92.1% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
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.
