The short answer

Tuckahoe is home to 49,183 people. Median household income is $102,264 a year and median rent is $1,536 a month, 18.0% of income (a ratio of two medians, not any one household's burden). Rent pressure is lighter than in most places. The median home is valued at $462,800, about 4.5x annual median household income.

Tuckahoe stands out for what is close at hand. OpenStreetMap shows 2 parks per 10,000 residents, fewer than in 95% of places its size. Also notable: 25% of workers skip the commute by working from home, which keeps total commuting time lower than in 88% of places.

Tuckahoe in 2030: where the trends point

If recent trends hold, the median rent will take about 18% of the median income in 2030, about the same as 18% now.

Citytistics projections to 2030: each figure's own trend, blended with the typical trend across the places we rate, eased toward long-run US growth and carried forward from the latest release. The range is where 80% of places landed when we tested the same method on past releases. On projected 2030 affordability, Tuckahoe does better than 50% of places. Its projected home value growth beats 44%.

MeasureLatest2030 projectionLikely rangeAvg. per year
Median rent$1,536/mo (2024)$1,980/mo$1,620 to $2,410/mo+4.3%
Median household income$102,264 (2024)$130,000$109,500 to $153,500+4.1%
Median home value$462,800 (2024)$661,000$480,000 to $911,000+6.1%

The median home would be worth 5.1 years of the median income in 2030, against 4.5 now.
