Scottsville village, NY in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Scottsville village is a small town in New York, with 2,425 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #562 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 56% of them. The median age here is 42.2 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 Scottsville village earn a median of $74,813 a year, 4.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 19% 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 10.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Scottsville village is valued at $163,600, 46.1% below the national figure and 48% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,087 a month, 22.7% below the national figure, or roughly $13,044 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.4% 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 2.2×, 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. 72.5% 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.
All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
