What it’s like
The place. Cherry Creek is a very small community in Chautauqua County, where almost everyone lives in a home they own. Household incomes run higher than across the county, and a typical home is worth less than many would expect elsewhere in the state. Winters are cold and very snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are mild and warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in manufacturing, shops, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Few work from home, and the typical commute is a long one. Across Chautauqua County, some of the largest workplaces are Cummins, an engine maker, the Jamestown City School District and SUNY at Fredonia, though the county has seen slightly fewer jobs than a year earlier.
Things to do. Chautauqua Lake is the best known spot nearby, a lake a longer drive away. Allegany State Park, a protected area, and Lake Erie State Park, another protected area on the lakeshore, are also a longer drive away. For an indoor outing, the Reg Lenna Center for the Arts is a theatre 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 Cherry Creek’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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.
