Seneca Falls, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Seneca Falls CDP is a mid-size town in New York, with 6,967 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #276 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 78% of them. The median age here is 47.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Seneca Falls CDP earn a median of $54,429 a year, 30.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 41% 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 15.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Seneca Falls CDP is valued at $119,300, 60.7% below the national figure and 62% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $905 a month, 35.6% below the national figure, or roughly $10,860 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20% 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 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. 63.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
