What it’s like

The place. Ashland is a very small town in Greene County, in the Catskills of New York. Most homes here are lived in by their owners, and the share of residents living below the poverty line is lower than in many places. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and highs staying around freezing, while July brings warm days. Rain and melted snow add up to a fairly wet year.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in professional and business services, shops, and restaurants and hotels. The commute is of middling length, and a small number of people work from home. Across Greene County, some of the largest workplaces are Walmart, Haleon Oak Hill and the Catskill Central School District. Unemployment across the county is about where it was a year ago, and the county has added a few more jobs over the past year.

Things to do. Schoharie Reservoir is a short drive away, as is Windham Mountain, a ski area that suits the cold, snowy months. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to Catskill Park, a large protected area of woods and trails, and to Kaaterskill Falls, one of the best known waterfalls in the region.

Natural hazards

  1. Inland floodingRelatively moderate

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Greene County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. 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 Greene County.
