Shrub Oak, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Shrub Oak CDP is a small town in New York, with 2,770 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #520 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 59% 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 Shrub Oak CDP earn a median of $170,225 a year, 116.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 85% 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 0.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Shrub Oak CDP is valued at $498,800, 64.4% above the national figure and 58% above the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,298 a month, 7.7% below the national figure, or roughly $15,576 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 9.2% 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 63.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

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.
