ZIP code 10011

ZIP 10011 is a small city in New York County, New York, with 49,344 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #89 of 1,824 ranked by population — larger than 95% of them. The median age here is 43 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 ZIP 10011 earn a median of $146,571 a year, 86.6% above the national figure of $78,538. 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 9.1% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 10011 is valued at $1,165,800, 284.2% above the national figure, while median gross rent runs $2,868 a month, 104% above the national figure, or roughly $34,416 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.5% 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 8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is out of reach on local earnings alone and the ownership market leans on outside income, equity or dual high earners. 36% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Home values sit at 8× median household income, far past the 3.9× national mark, so ownership costs here are set by something other than local wages — second homes, retirees with equity, or commuters earning elsewhere.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.

ZIP 10011 is tabulated inside New York County, New York, one of 69 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 1,826 across New York. This is a dense urban ZIP, where a single postal boundary can hold more residents than an entire rural county. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 10011 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 10011 reports a median household income of $146,571, 10% above the $132,780 county median, and 85% above the $79,429 typical NY ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $1,165,800, 12% above the county figure and 401% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $2,868 a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

A taxable purchase made inside 10011 carries 8.875% at the register, assembled from the New York City jurisdiction stack: the New York state rate plus every county, municipal and special district levy that reaches this address. Because those district boundaries were drawn for schools, transit and hospital funding rather than for mail delivery, two addresses inside 10011 can legitimately fall under different totals — the rate shown here is the one that applies to the dominant jurisdiction.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 10011 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
