What it’s like
The place. Clinton is a village in Oneida County, small enough that neighbors tend to know one another. The people who live here are older than in most places, and a large share of adults hold a four-year degree. Homes are valued above what is typical across much of upstate New York, and fewer residents live below the poverty line than is common elsewhere.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and a range of other services. Across Oneida County, some of the largest workplaces are Faxton-St. Lukes Healthcare, St. Elizabeth Medical Center and the Utica City School District. The commute to work is a short one, and a fair number of people work from home. Jobs across the county have slipped slightly over the past year, and unemployment is close to where it stood a year ago.
Things to do. The Ruth and Elmer Wellin Museum of Art is in or beside town, and Turkey Creek runs nearby as well. A short drive away are the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute, a museum, and the Utica Zoo. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers are pleasantly warm, and precipitation falls fairly evenly through the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Clinton’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 Oneida County and the Utica-Rome, NY metro.
