Overview
Understanding ZIP code 14420
ZIP code 14420 is assigned to Brockport, NY, and falls within Monroe 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 20,097 people live inside it.
At 341 residents per square mile spread over 59.001 square miles, 14420 reads as a small-town area. It is a mid-sized 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 $69,716 puts 14420 near the middle of the pack, ahead of 49% 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 Brockport looks like
Housing in 14420 costs close to the national median. A typical home is valued at $178,600 against a US median of $207,500, and median gross rent runs $951 a month. The split between owning and renting is fairly even at 62.8% owner-occupied, which tends to indicate a mix of housing types rather than one dominant form.
The building stock is dominated by detached single-family houses, which account for 63.9% of housing units here. The median construction year is 1975, making the housing here from the later twentieth century.
The population skews younger than the country as a whole, with a median age of 34.6 against 42 nationally. The average household holds 2.62 people, and 59.6% are family households.
Getting to work takes 25.1 minutes on average one way. The dominant mode is drove alone at 73.2% of workers, while 9.1% walk, 10.6% work from home. Commute patterns are one of the better proxies for how a place actually functions day to day.

Practical uses
What ZIP code 14420 is used for
Beyond addressing mail, 14420 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, 14420 offers a compact profile of Brockport: 20,097 residents, a median household income of $69,716, 34.8% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher, and an unemployment rate of 2.7%. 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. 14420 may cover parts of several distinct areas, and a single neighbourhood in Brockport 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.
