Market context block
Buffalo had an estimated 274,613 residents as of July 1, 2025, and Census reported 119,630 households for 2020-2024. Zillow Research reported current city value and inventory rows for Apr. 30, 2026. Redfin Data Center supports Erie County and metro rows for Apr. 2026 but did not include an exact Buffalo city row in the reviewed city file, so the page keeps those labels separate.
