Property tax · $1,077/mo 1.68% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Rockland County, NY
Insurance & upkeep · $826/mo insurance, maintenance and repairs together, from the BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey — the national figure for mortgaged homeowners, scaled to this market's home value. BLS publishes the three bundled and they cannot be split.
Both are priced off the same month's home value, so they rise with the market. Neither is a quote — a specific home's bill depends on its assessment, its age and its insurer.

What it’s like
The place. Nyack is a village on the Hudson River in Rockland County, small in size and home to residents who are a little older than the typical American. Household incomes run above the county's, and a very large share of adults hold a four-year degree. Most homes are rented rather than owned, which is unusual for a county where owning is the norm, and both rents and home values sit at a high level.
Work. Residents most often work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by banks, insurance and property, shops, and professional and business services. Across Rockland County, the largest workplaces include the Clarkstown Central School District, Good Samaritan Hospital and Montefiore Nyack Hospital. The commute is a long one for many, though a good number of residents work from home.
Things to do. The best-known places within reach are in and around New York City, all a longer drive away. They include the Statue of Liberty, a tourist attraction, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Central Park, a garden. Winters are cold and snowy, with a fair amount of rain through the year and warm summers, so a day trip is easiest to plan around the season.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Nyack’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very low. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Rockland County and the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA metro.
