What it’s like
The place. Calverton is a small Long Island community where most homes are lived in by their owners and residents tend to be older than in most places. Incomes run well below the county's, and the typical home is still worth a good deal. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, summers are warm, and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in professional and business services, shops and the building trades. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than you might expect for the county, and the daily commute is a fair stretch. Some of the largest workplaces in Calverton are Festival Fun Parks, Walmart and Wellbridge Addiction Treatment & Research.
Things to do. Splish Splash, an amusement park, sits in or beside town. A short drive away are Wildwood State Park, a protected area, and the Long Island Aquarium and Exhibition Center. The Peconic River, also a short drive off, offers a quieter outing.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Calverton’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.
