The quick read
Reading Sleepy Hollow, NY beyond the headline numbers
Sleepy Hollow sits inside Westchester County, New York, at roughly 41.09°N, -73.86°W. Population 10,242, $104,313 median household income. Median home value $746,800, median rent $1,924. Poverty rate 8.7%, read against that income figure since two cities on the same median can differ underneath it.
1 hospital in/around Sleepy Hollow, 4/5 avg rating, 1 with an ER.
At 8.7%, poverty in Sleepy Hollow, NY runs below the midpoint of reporting cities -- enough to matter locally, not enough to dominate the city's profile.
The median home in Sleepy Hollow costs around 7.2 times what a median household earns in a year -- the most expensive quarter of reporting cities, and far enough ahead of local pay that ownership is largely closed to median earners.
20.6% of Sleepy Hollow workers report working from home, the highest quarter of reporting cities. Where that share runs this high, local income increasingly reflects employers located somewhere else.
