Overview
Understanding ZIP code 13478
ZIP code 13478 is assigned to Verona, NY, and falls within Oneida County. Like every US postal code, it began as a mail-routing device rather than a geographic boundary — the US Postal Service groups delivery routes under a single code so carriers and sorting equipment can process mail efficiently. Today it also serves as a practical shorthand for the area itself: roughly 3,331 people live inside it.
At 95 residents per square mile spread over 34.957 square miles, 13478 reads as a rural area. It is a smaller postal code by population, and density shapes almost everything else on this page — how people get to work, whether they own or rent, and what housing costs.
Household earnings track close to the national picture. The median of $77,195 puts 13478 near the middle of the pack, ahead of 61% of them. The US median for comparison is $70,109. Bear in mind that median income describes the midpoint household, not the average — it is not pulled upward by a handful of very high earners the way a mean would be.
Living here
What life in Verona looks like
Housing in 13478 costs close to the national median. A typical home is valued at $189,600 against a US median of $207,500, and median gross rent runs $850 a month. Ownership dominates: 90.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, which usually signals an established residential area with relatively low turnover.
The building stock is dominated by detached single-family houses, which account for 89.7% of housing units here. The median construction year is 1970, making the housing here from the later twentieth century.
The population skews older than the national median, with a median age of 46 against 42 nationally. The average household holds 2.32 people, and 66.4% are family households.
Getting to work takes 21.0 minutes on average one way. The dominant mode is drove alone at 89.0% of workers.
Where to stay
Where to stay in Verona, NY
13478 covers a rural area, and accommodation within the postal code itself is likely to be sparse — perhaps a country inn, a lodge or a vacation rental rather than a conventional hotel. Widening the search radius is usually the practical approach, and it also opens up more availability at short notice.
Local costs are modest — median rent here is $850 a month — and accommodation prices in the area tend to be correspondingly reasonable. For reference, New York, NY is about 186.5 miles away in a straight line, which is worth factoring in if you are comparing a stay here against one closer to the city centre.

Practical uses
What ZIP code 13478 is used for
Beyond addressing mail, 13478 does a lot of quiet administrative work. Retailers use it to calculate shipping and sales tax at checkout. Insurers use it to set premiums, since risk profiles vary geographically. Employers and marketers use it to define service areas. Government agencies use it to route benefits and organise reporting. If you have ever been asked for a postal code by a form that clearly does not intend to send you anything, this is why.
For anyone weighing a move, 13478 offers a compact profile of Verona: 3,331 residents, a median household income of $77,195, 19.0% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher, and an unemployment rate of 9.5%. A handful of figures like these answer more relocation questions than most neighbourhood guides do.
One caution worth repeating: a postal code is not a neighbourhood. 13478 may cover parts of several distinct areas, and a single neighbourhood in Verona may be split across more than one code. Boundaries also shift as USPS adjusts delivery routes. Treat the figures here as describing a delivery area, which is what they actually measure.
