Palmyra village, NY in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Palmyra village is a small town in New York, with 3,306 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #466 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 63% of them. The median age here is 37.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Palmyra village earn a median of $66,647 a year, 15.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 27% below 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 11.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Palmyra village is valued at $125,200, 58.7% below the national figure and 60% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $936 a month, 33.4% below the national figure, or roughly $11,232 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.9% 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 1.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 54.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
