Tioga County, NY Property Records & Statistics
Tioga County has a median rent of $881.50, below the New York median of $928.25 but above the national median of $840.25. Renter-occupied housing makes up 20.95% of occupied homes, slightly higher than the state figure of 20.16% and a little under the national figure of 21.81%, so the county has a rental share close to the norm.
The median home value is $134,750, lower than both the state median of $169,000 and the national median of $173,750. That affordability comes with a tax trade-off: the median property tax rate of 2.42% is above the state rate of 2.11% and more than three times the national rate of 0.74%. Buyers get a lower purchase price, but owners should expect a larger annual tax bill relative to the value of their home.
The median household income is $68,561, under the state figure of $70,656.50 but above the national figure of $65,108. The unemployment rate of 3.45% is higher than the state rate of 2.91% and the national rate of 2.87%, which suggests local employment conditions are somewhat weaker than elsewhere.
Overall, Tioga County offers lower home values than the state and nation, rents that fall between the two benchmarks, incomes in the middle, and property taxes and unemployment that run above average.
