What it’s like
The place. Comstock sits in Washington County in the north of New York State, where the land rises and falls through hills and valleys. Winters are long and cold, summers are warm, and rain and melted snow fall through much of the year. Across Washington County, people are older on average than across the country, and most homes are lived in by their owners.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, while others work in manufacturing, in shops, or in professional and business services. Job numbers have held steady in recent years, and unemployment is about the same as it was a year earlier. Fewer adults hold a college degree than across the country, and few people work from home.
Things to do. Lake George is one of the best known lakes in the region, a longer drive away. Fort Ticonderoga, a historic fort, is also a longer drive away, while the Mettawee River and the Pember Library and Museum are both a short drive away.

Natural hazards

- Cold wavesRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Washington County, 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 Washington County and the Glens Falls, NY metro.
