What it’s like
The place. Catskill is a village on the Hudson River in Greene County, home to a modest number of people. Household incomes run a little above the county's, and more homes are lived in by their owners than rented. Winters are cold, with snow through the season, and summers turn warm; rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount over the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by restaurants, hotels and entertainment, shops, and professional and business services. Among the largest workplaces in Catskill are Walmart, the Catskill Central School District and Lowe's. Jobs across the county have grown slightly over the past year, and a good number of people work from home.
Things to do. Olana State Historic Site, a museum in or beside town, is among the best known places nearby, and Catskill Creek, a river, runs through or alongside the village. Clermont State Historic Site, a protected area, is a short drive away. For a longer drive, Kaaterskill Falls is a waterfall to head for, and the Norman Rockwell Museum is also a longer trip.

Natural hazards
- Inland floodingRelatively moderate
- TornadoesRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Catskill’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 Greene County.
