A typical home is worth about $88,700.
HUD's fair-market rent for a 2-bedroom in St. Lawrence County is $1,041 a month. That is the county number, not an apartment listing in Norfolk. It runs from October 2026 through September 2027.
New York's prices sit at 107.9 when the U.S. average is 100. This place is not in a metro area with its own index, so this is the state number from BEA for 2024.

Some places in New York add a local wage tax. In 2023 the state average was about 1.60% of income. That is not a Norfolk bill.
