ZIP code 14774

ZIP 14774 is a very small community in Allegany County, New York, with 322 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #1536 of 1,824 ranked by population — larger than 15% of them. The median age here is 35.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 14774 is valued at $77,500, 74.5% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $963 a month, 31.5% below the national figure, or roughly $11,556 across a full year. 71.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

The Census withheld household income for ZIP 14774 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.

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 14774 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

New York charges 4% statewide, and local governments overlapping 14774 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 14774 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
