What it’s like
The place. Burt is a small community in Niagara County, in western New York, where neighbors tend to know one another. Most homes across Niagara County are lived in by their owners rather than rented. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, peaking in July. Rain and melted snow add up to a good amount over the year.
Work. Residents across Niagara County work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, manufacturing, shops, and professional and business services. Unemployment has edged up slightly over the past year, while the number of jobs has grown a little. Most adults in the county do not hold a four-year degree. Most people drive to work, and only a small share work from home.
Things to do. Eighteen Mile Creek runs in or beside town, offering a natural spot close to home. Wilson-Tuscarora State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away. Niagara Falls, one of the best known waterfalls in the country, is a longer drive away.
