Tonawanda Town, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Tonawanda Town CDP is a small city in New York, with 56,973 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #14 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 98% of them. The median age here is 42.4 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 Tonawanda Town CDP earn a median of $76,644 a year, 2.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 17% 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 9.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Tonawanda Town CDP is valued at $199,400, 34.3% below the national figure and 37% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,062 a month, 24.5% below the national figure, or roughly $12,744 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.6% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 72.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
