South Glens Falls village, NY in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
South Glens Falls village is a small town in New York, with 3,739 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #428 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 66% of them. The median age here is 36.7 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 South Glens Falls village earn a median of $57,865 a year, 26.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 37% 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 11.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in South Glens Falls village is valued at $189,800, 37.4% below the national figure and 40% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,100 a month, 21.8% below the national figure, or roughly $13,200 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.8% 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 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 50.3% 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.
