Williston Park village, NY in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Williston Park village is a mid-size town in New York, with 7,508 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #253 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 80% of them. The median age here is 40.7 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 Williston Park village earn a median of $152,656 a year, 94.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 66% above 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 3.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Williston Park village is valued at $731,700, 141.2% above the national figure and 132% above the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,146 a month, 52.6% above the national figure, or roughly $25,752 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.9% 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 4.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 76.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
