Overview
Understanding ZIP code 14819
ZIP code 14819 is assigned to Cameron, NY, and falls within Steuben 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 633 people live inside it.
At 17 residents per square mile spread over 38.353 square miles, 14819 reads as a rural area. It is a sparsely populated postal code, 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 run below the national median. At $53,750, 14819 sits in the lower half, ahead of 21% 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 Cameron looks like
Housing in 14819 costs well below the national median. A typical home is valued at $83,600 against a US median of $207,500, and median gross rent runs $1,321 a month. Ownership dominates: 76.5% 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 52.8% of housing units here. The median construction year is 1977, making the housing here from the later twentieth century. The vacancy rate of 34.6% is high, which in many places reflects seasonal or second-home use rather than abandonment.
The population skews younger than the country as a whole, with a median age of 35.3 against 42 nationally. The average household holds 2.71 people, and 62.0% are family households.
Getting to work takes 33.8 minutes on average one way. The dominant mode is drove alone at 83.5% of workers.
Where to stay
Where to stay in Cameron, NY
14819 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.
Median rent in 14819 is $1,321 a month, which sits in the middle of the national range; accommodation pricing locally tends to be similarly mid-market. For reference, Philadelphia, PA is about 196.7 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 14819 is used for
Beyond addressing mail, 14819 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, 14819 offers a compact profile of Cameron: 633 residents, a median household income of $53,750, 12.9% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher, and an unemployment rate of 11.5%. 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. 14819 may cover parts of several distinct areas, and a single neighbourhood in Cameron 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.
