Westmere CDP, NY in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Westmere CDP is a mid-size town in New York, with 7,616 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #249 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 80% of them. The median age here is 39.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Westmere CDP earn a median of $86,398 a year, 10% above the national figure of $78,538 and 6% below the $91,806 median for the 847 New York cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 4.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Westmere CDP is valued at $291,200, 4% below the national figure and 8% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,660 a month, 18.1% above the national figure, or roughly $19,920 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.1% 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 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 51.6% 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.
