The stability of both its demographic makeup and high-income status suggests that Saddle Rock Estates may be a highly desirable, exclusive community that has remained relatively insulated from broader demographic and economic shifts affecting other parts of New York and the nation. This stability could be attributed to factors such as limited housing availability, high property values, or specific zoning regulations that maintain the current community structure.
