Retsof, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Retsof CDP is a very small community in New York, with 161 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1238 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 4% of them. The median age here is 41.5 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 Retsof CDP earn a median of $122,941 a year, 56.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 34% above the $91,806 median for the 847 New York cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Retsof CDP is valued at $173,600, 42.8% below the national figure and 45% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.4×, 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. 90.6% 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. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

With 161 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Retsof CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Retsof 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.
