Old Bethpage CDP, NY in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Old Bethpage CDP is a mid-size town in New York, with 6,179 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #308 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 76% of them. The median age here is 46.5 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 Old Bethpage CDP earn a median of $186,776 a year, 137.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 103% 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 3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Old Bethpage CDP is valued at $866,000, 185.4% above the national figure and 174% above the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 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. 92.9% 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.
The Census withheld gross rent for Old Bethpage CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
