Woodmere CDP, NY in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Woodmere CDP is a mid-size town in New York, with 18,198 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #101 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 92% of them. The median age here is 33.2 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 Woodmere CDP earn a median of $174,942 a year, 122.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 91% 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 1.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Woodmere CDP is valued at $944,400, 211.3% above the national figure and 199% above the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,519 a month, 79.2% above the national figure, or roughly $30,228 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.3% 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 5.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 93.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
