Wurtsboro village, NY in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Wurtsboro village is a small town in New York, with 1,181 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #802 of 1,292 ranked by population — larger than 37% of them. The median age here is 43.6 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 Wurtsboro village earn a median of $72,500 a year, 7.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 21% 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 10.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Wurtsboro village is valued at $214,500, 29.3% below the national figure and 32% below the $315,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,266 a month, 10% below the national figure, or roughly $15,192 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 69.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners.
