ZIP code 11792

ZIP 11792 is a mid-size town in Suffolk County, New York, with 8,562 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #569 of 1,824 ranked by population — larger than 68% of them. The median age here is 43.2 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 11792 earn a median of $147,100 a year, 87.3% above the national figure of $78,538. 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 2.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 11792 is valued at $557,700, 83.8% above the national figure, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 98.8% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

The Census withheld gross rent for ZIP 11792 because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.

ZIP 11792 is tabulated inside Suffolk County, New York, one of 108 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 1,826 across New York. Population sits in the small-town band, typically one main street plus the addresses that feed into it. 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 11792 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 11792 reports a median household income of $147,100, 14% above the $128,844 county median, and 85% above the $79,429 typical NY ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $557,700, 9% below the county figure and 140% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at not published a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

New York charges 4% statewide, and local governments overlapping 11792 may add county, city or special-district levies on top. We publish the state floor for this ZIP rather than guessing a combined figure, because ZIP boundaries and taxing-district boundaries were drawn for different purposes and do not line up.

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 11792 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.
