What it’s like
The place. Corfu is a small village in Genesee County, home to far fewer people than most towns. Nearly all homes are lived in by their owners, more so than is typical across the country, and poverty is relatively uncommon. Winters are cold and very snowy, with January the coldest month, while July brings warm summer days and the year as a whole is fairly wet.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and other services also employing many. Across Genesee County, some of the largest workplaces are United Memorial Medical Center, Batavia City School District and O-AT-KA Milk Products. Few people work from home, and the typical commute is a moderate one.
Things to do. Six Flags Darien Lake, an amusement park, is in or beside town, along with thrill rides such as Viper and Batman The Escape. Darien Lakes State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away. For a longer outing, the Buffalo AKG Art Museum is a longer drive away.

Not listed: many offices and banks, which need not report to OSHA; military bases, whose staff OPM withholds; and, in about half the states, city and county governments.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Corfu’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Genesee County and the Batavia, NY metro.
