Sanborn, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Sanborn CDP is a small town in New York, with 1,466 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #730 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 43% of them. The median age here is 36.8 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 Sanborn CDP earn a median of $81,620 a year, 3.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 11% below 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 5.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Sanborn CDP is valued at $198,500, 34.6% below the national figure and 37% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,068 a month, 24% below the national figure, or roughly $12,816 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.7% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.4×, 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. 73.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

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.
