Three Mile Bay, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Three Mile Bay CDP is a very small community in New York, with 40 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1283 of 1,292 ranked by population. The median age here is 31.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Three Mile Bay CDP earn a median of $34,875 a year, 55.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 62% below the $91,806 median for the 847 New York cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 10% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Three Mile Bay CDP is valued at $202,500, 33.3% below the national figure and 36% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 100% 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.

With 40 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Three Mile Bay CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Three Mile Bay CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
