ZIP code 13361

ZIP 13361 is a very small community in Herkimer County, New York, with 666 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1398 of 1,824 ranked by population — larger than 23% of them. The median age here is 39.8 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 ZIP 13361 earn a median of $100,000 a year, 27.3% 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 12.6% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 13361 is valued at $178,400, 41.2% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $586 a month, 58.3% below the national figure, or roughly $7,032 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 7% 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 1.8×, 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. 79.6% 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. With 666 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare ZIP 13361 against its county rather than against national figures.

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 13361 is tabulated inside Herkimer County, New York, one of 17 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 1,826 across New York. Fewer than 2,500 people are counted here, so the ZIP behaves like a village delivery route rather than a neighbourhood. 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 13361 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 13361 reports a median household income of $100,000, 26% above the $79,115 county median, and 26% above the $79,429 typical NY ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $178,400, 18% above the county figure and 23% below the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $586 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 13361 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 13361 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.
