What it’s like
The place. Andes is a very small community in Delaware County, in the Catskills of New York, where neighbors are likely to know one another. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and a good deal of snow through the season. Summers are warm without turning hot, and moisture is steady through the year, falling as rain in the warmer months and snow in the colder ones.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in shops, manufacturing, and professional and business services. Across Delaware County, some of the largest workplaces are Amphenol Aerospace, SUNY College of Technology at Delhi and Saputo Cheese USA. Unemployment in the county has been slightly higher than a year ago, and the county has a few fewer jobs than the year before.
Things to do. Water is the main draw here. Liddle Brook and Tremper Kill, both streams, run in or beside town, and Lake Delaware, a reservoir, and Brydon Lake are a short drive away. Catskill Park, a large protected area, is a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Andes’ census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Delaware County.
