Old Forge CDP, NY in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Old Forge CDP is a very small community in New York, with 359 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1124 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 13% of them. The median age here is 44 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.
Households in Old Forge CDP earn a median of $70,313 a year, 10.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 23% below the $91,806 median for the 847 New York cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 8.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Old Forge CDP is valued at $332,200, 9.5% above the national figure and 5% above the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 69.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
