What it’s like
The place. Bohemia is a community on Long Island in Suffolk County, and nearly everyone here lives in a home they own. Household incomes sit a little below the county's, and the typical home is a costly one. Residents are somewhat older than the typical American, and a good share of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with highs around freezing to just above it in January and a fair amount of snow, while summers are warm and the year brings plenty of rain.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, restaurants and hotels, and professional and business services. Among the larger workplaces in Bohemia are the Connetquot Central School District, NYSARC Inc. - Suffolk Chapter, and a Nestle manufacturing site. The typical commute is a fairly long one, and only a small share of people work from home. Across Suffolk County, jobs grew slightly last year and unemployment held close to where it stood a year earlier.
Things to do. Green space is close at hand: Connetquot River State Park Preserve and Bayard Cutting Arboretum State Park, a botanical garden, are in or beside town, and Sayville National Wildlife Refuge is there too. A short drive away are Heckscher State Park and Fire Island National Seashore, both protected areas, along with the Long Island Maritime Museum. For a longer outing, Robert Moses State Park is a longer drive away.

Natural hazards
- HurricanesRelatively moderate
- Winter weatherRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Bohemia’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Suffolk County and the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA metro.
