Riverside CDP, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Riverside CDP is a small town in New York, with 3,538 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #450 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 65% of them. The median age here is 34.1 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 Riverside CDP earn a median of $41,397 a year, 47.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 55% 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 26% 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 Riverside CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $2,612 a month, 85.8% above the national figure, or roughly $31,344 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 75.7% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is severely stretched — a median-income renter clears the cost-burden line by a wide margin before utilities beyond the gross-rent definition. 70.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.

The Census withheld home value for Riverside 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.
