ZIP code 13135

ZIP 13135 is a mid-size town in Oswego County, New York, with 6,229 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #654 of 1,824 ranked by population — larger than 64% of them. The median age here is 44.3 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 13135 earn a median of $82,977 a year, 5.7% 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 12.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 13135 is valued at $166,900, 45% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $965 a month, 31.4% below the national figure, or roughly $11,580 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14% 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×, 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. 73.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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 13135 is tabulated inside Oswego County, New York, one of 22 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 13135 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 13135 reports a median household income of $82,977, 20% above the $69,300 county median, and 4% above the $79,429 typical NY ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $166,900, 21% above the county figure and 28% below the statewide ZIP median.

New York charges 4% statewide, and local governments overlapping 13135 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 13135 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.
