Philadelphia, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Philadelphia village is a very small community in New York, with 803 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #912 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 29% of them. The median age here is 24.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Philadelphia village earn a median of $53,958 a year, 31.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 41% 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 26.5% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Philadelphia village is valued at $134,400, 55.7% below the national figure and 57% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $731 a month, 48% below the national figure, or roughly $8,772 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.3% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 36.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 24.7 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 803 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Philadelphia village against its county rather than against national figures.

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.
