Roslyn Heights, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Roslyn Heights CDP is a mid-size town in New York, with 6,881 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #281 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 78% of them. The median age here is 42.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Roslyn Heights CDP earn a median of $186,696 a year, 137.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 103% 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 4.9% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Roslyn Heights CDP is valued at $941,300, 210.3% above the national figure and 198% above the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $3,159 a month, 124.7% above the national figure, or roughly $37,908 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.3% 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 5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 93.3% 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.

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.
