ZIP code 13104

ZIP 13104 is a mid-size town in Onondaga County, New York, with 16,504 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #381 of 1,824 ranked by population — larger than 79% of them. The median age here is 45 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 13104 earn a median of $123,770 a year, 57.6% above the national figure of $78,538. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 5.7% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 13104 is valued at $296,300, 2.3% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,074 a month, 23.6% below the national figure, or roughly $12,888 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 10.4% 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 2.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 80.6% 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.

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.

This is a mid-sized suburban ZIP inside a county that is split across many delivery areas.

Against its own county, 13104 reports a median household income of $123,770, 52% above the $81,667 county median, and 56% above the $79,429 typical NY ZIP.

Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $1,074 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 13104 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 13104 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.
