Median Age by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — New York

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The Adirondack region and parts of the eastern Capital District corridor exhibit notably higher median ages, with many zip codes reaching into the mid-50s to 60+, reflecting aging rural and retirement-oriented communities. In sharp contrast, New York City's boroughs—particularly the Bronx and parts of Brooklyn—display some of the youngest median ages in the state, dipping below 30 in several zip codes, likely driven by immigrant communities and younger urban demographics. A band of moderately elevated median ages (45–55) stretches across the suburban Lower Hudson Valley and Long Island's South Fork, while college towns such as Ithaca and areas near Syracuse show distinctly low values amid otherwise older surrounding regions.
