What it’s like
The place. Castile is a small village in Wyoming County, in western New York. Household incomes here are lower than across the county, and more people live below the poverty line than most would expect of a place this size. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers are mild and pleasant in July, and rain and melted snow add up to a good deal over the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in manufacturing, shops and the building trades. Across Wyoming County, the largest workplaces include Wyoming County Community Hospital, the Letchworth Central School District and Steel & O'Brien, a metal and steam fittings manufacturer. Few people work from home, and the typical commute is a fairly short one. The county has lost a small share of its jobs over the past year, and unemployment is little changed from a year ago.
Things to do. Letchworth State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away, and so is Silver Lake State Park beside Silver Lake. Wiscoy Creek, a river, is also close by. For a longer outing, Six Flags Darien Lake is an amusement park a longer drive away.

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