Southport, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Southport CDP is a mid-size town in New York, with 6,435 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #302 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 76% of them. The median age here is 48.4 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 Southport CDP earn a median of $62,060 a year, 21% below the national figure of $78,538 and 32% below the $91,806 median for the 847 New York cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 14.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Southport CDP is valued at $101,200, 66.6% below the national figure and 68% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,105 a month, 21.4% below the national figure, or roughly $13,260 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.4% 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 1.6×, 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. 75% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
