Prattsburgh, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Prattsburgh CDP is a very small community in New York, with 612 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #999 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 22% of them. The median age here is 41.2 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 Prattsburgh CDP earn a median of $53,125 a year, 32.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 42% below the $91,806 median for the 847 New York cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 6.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Prattsburgh CDP is valued at $90,800, 70.1% below the national figure and 71% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,640 a month, 16.6% above the national figure, or roughly $19,680 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 37% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.7×, 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. 84.1% 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.

Prattsburgh CDP is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 37% of median income while homes cost only 1.7× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price. With 612 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Prattsburgh CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
