What it’s like
The place. Crown Point is a small town on the shore of Lake Champlain, in the northeastern corner of New York. Nearly everyone who lives here owns their home, a much higher share than across most of the country, and relatively few residents live below the poverty line. Far fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in much of the country, and winters are cold and snowy, with a long stretch of deep cold in January.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, restaurants and hotels, and shops also employing many. Across Essex County, the biggest workplaces include the Sylvamo-Ticonderoga Mill, which makes paper products, Elizabethtown Community Hospital, and Walmart. The typical commute is a fairly long one, and few people work from home.
Things to do. History is the main draw close to home. Fort Crown Point and Fort Saint-Frédéric are both a short drive away, and Fort Ticonderoga, one of the best known of the region's old forts, is a longer drive. Lake George, a long lake popular for boating and time by the water, is also a longer drive away.

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