Washington Mills CDP, NY in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Washington Mills CDP is a small town in New York, with 2,148 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #600 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 53% of them. The median age here is 41.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Washington Mills CDP earn a median of $128,571 a year, 63.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 40% above 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 6.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Washington Mills CDP is valued at $208,500, 31.3% below the national figure and 34% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,097 a month, 22% below the national figure, or roughly $13,164 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 10.2% 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 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. 57.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
