Verplanck, NY population, income and ZIP codes

Verplanck CDP is a very small community in New York, with 657 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #965 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 25% of them. The median age here is 57.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Verplanck CDP earn a median of $81,893 a year, 4.3% above the national figure of $78,538 and 11% below 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 7.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Verplanck CDP is valued at $448,900, 48% above the national figure and 42% above the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,769 a month, 25.8% above the national figure, or roughly $21,228 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25.9% 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 5.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 61.4% 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.

A median age of 57.1 puts Verplanck CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 657 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Verplanck CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

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.
