What it’s like
The place. Andover is a very small village, with fewer people than most places that carry a name on the map. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and typical home values are modest. Winters are cold and snowy, with a good deal of snow each year, and summers are warm without being hot.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and restaurants and hotels also employing many. Across Allegany County, some of the largest workplaces are Alfred University, SUNY College of Technology at Alfred and Jones Memorial Hospital. The usual trip to work is a fairly short one, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. The Allen Steinheim Museum and the Schein–Joseph International Museum of Ceramic Art are both a short drive away. For time outdoors, Stony Brook State Park is a protected area a longer drive away, as is Almond Lake, a reservoir.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Andover’s 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 Allegany County and the Corning, NY metro.
