The place. Canastota is a village in Madison County, New York, home to a small community where most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run a little below the county's, and the typical home is priced modestly. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while July brings mild, pleasant warmth, and a good deal of rain and melted snow falls across the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in transport, warehouses and utilities, in shops, or in manufacturing.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Canastota’s census tracts, 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 Madison County and the Syracuse, NY metro.
