Household Median Income by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — New York

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The New York City suburban ring—particularly Westchester County, Nassau County, and western Suffolk County—displays the highest median household incomes in the state, with numerous zip codes exceeding $125,000, while parts of the Bronx and central Brooklyn register among the lowest at under $30,000, creating one of the sharpest income gradients in the country within a small geographic area. Upstate urban cores such as Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, and Albany appear as distinct low-income pockets (dark teal to blue) surrounded by moderate-income suburban and rural zip codes in the $50,000–$80,000 range. The Adirondack region and rural Southern Tier generally fall in the mid-range, though scattered zip codes with very low or suppressed income data (shown in gray) suggest small populations or data reliability limitations.
