Roosevelt CDP, NY in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Roosevelt CDP is a mid-size town in New York, with 19,636 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #94 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 92% of them. The median age here is 33.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.
Households in Roosevelt CDP earn a median of $135,158 a year, 72.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 47% above 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 4.1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Roosevelt CDP is valued at $454,100, 49.7% above the national figure and 44% above the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,579 a month, 83.4% above the national figure, or roughly $30,948 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 76.3% 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.
No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
