What it’s like
The place. Constable is a small town in Franklin County, in the far north of New York, and nearly all of its homes are lived in by their owners. Incomes run a little below the county's, and a fairly large part of residents live below the poverty line. Winters are long and cold, with January the coldest month and a great deal of snow, while July is pleasantly warm and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in government, in shops and in the building trades. Across Franklin County, the biggest employers include Adirondack Medical Center, the Malone Central School District and Alice Hyde Medical Center. Few people work from home, and the typical commute is a moderate one.
Things to do. The Little Trout River runs in or beside town, and the Trout River is a short drive away. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to Lake Saint Francis, a lake, and Titus Mountain, a ski area. The long snowy season makes the ski area a natural draw.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Franklin 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 Franklin County and the Malone, NY metro.
