What it’s like
The place. Cedarhurst is a village in Nassau County, on the south shore of Long Island. Its residents are younger than in many American communities, and homes here are priced well above what is typical across the country, with rents to match. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, banks, insurance and property, and shops. Across Nassau County, the largest workplaces are hospitals, among them Long Island Jewish Medical Center, North Shore University Hospital and South Nassau Communities Hospital. The typical commute is a long one, and a small share of people work from home.
Things to do. Most of the best-known places nearby are a longer drive away, in and around New York City. Central Park is a famous garden, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the museums on that list. Coney Island is a beach, a longer drive away, and the Bronx Zoo is a zoo that people also make the trip for.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Cedarhurst’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 Nassau County and the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA metro.
