Thornwood CDP, NY in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Thornwood CDP is a small town in New York, with 4,405 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #387 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 70% of them. The median age here is 38.9 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 Thornwood CDP earn a median of $186,635 a year, 137.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 103% above the $91,806 median for the 847 New York cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 3.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Thornwood CDP is valued at $654,600, 115.8% above the national figure and 107% above the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,245 a month, 59.7% above the national figure, or roughly $26,940 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.4% 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 85.7% 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. 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.

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.
