South Farmingdale CDP, NY in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

South Farmingdale CDP is a mid-size town in New York, with 14,953 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #136 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 89% of them. The median age here is 41.9 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 South Farmingdale CDP earn a median of $162,527 a year, 106.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 77% 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 3.9% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in South Farmingdale CDP is valued at $584,400, 92.6% above the national figure and 85% above the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,642 a month, 87.9% above the national figure, or roughly $31,704 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.5% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 94.7% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
