What it’s like
The place. Dundee is a small village in Yates County, in the Finger Lakes region of New York. It has a somewhat older population than the typical American community, and fewer homes are lived in by their owners than across much of the countryside around it. Incomes are well below the county's, and more residents live below the poverty line than is usual, with fewer adults holding a four-year degree than in many places. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and highs hovering just above freezing, while July brings warm days. Rain and melted snow add up to a moderate amount over the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and the building trades also well represented. Across Yates County, some of the largest workplaces are the Penn Yan Central School District, Keuka College and the Dundee Central School District. Unemployment across the county has eased a little compared with a year earlier, and the county has added jobs over the past year. The typical commute is a moderate drive each way.
Things to do. Seneca Lake and Keuka Lake are both a short drive away, and Lodi Point State Park, also a short drive off, sits on the Seneca shore. Finger Lakes National Forest is another short drive away and offers protected woodland and open country. Watkins Glen State Park and the Corning Museum of Glass are a longer drive, and make good full-day outings.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Dundee’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 Yates County and the Rochester, NY metro.
