What it’s like
The place. Celoron is a small village on the shore of Chautauqua Lake, with an older population than the typical American town. Winters are cold and very snowy, summers are warm, and rain and melted snow add up to a good deal across the year. Homes here cost far less than in most of the country, and most adults do not hold a four-year degree.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, shops, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Chautauqua County, the largest workplaces include Cummins, the Jamestown City School District and Nestle Purina Petcare Company. Commutes are short, and jobs across the county have slipped slightly over the past year.
Things to do. Chautauqua Lake is a short drive away, and the Chadakoin River runs in or beside town. Close to home, the Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Center is a museum devoted to the comedy pair, and the Reg Lenna Center for the Arts is a theatre. Long Point State Park on Lake Chautauqua, a short drive away, offers a protected shoreline for walking and picnics.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Celoron’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 Chautauqua County and the Jamestown-Dunkirk-Fredonia, NY metro.
