What it’s like
The place. Earlville is a very small village in Madison County, where neighbors tend to know one another. Winters are cold and long, with the coldest weather in January and a good deal of snow, while summers are warm and not extreme. Homes here are priced a good way below what many Americans pay, and fewer residents live below the poverty line than in many small places.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, manufacturing and professional and business services also employing many. Across Madison County, some of the largest workplaces are Colgate University, Oneida Health and SUNY Morrisville. The commute is a fairly long one, and a small number of people work from home.
Things to do. The Earlville Opera House is a theatre in or beside town, and the Sangerfield River runs through or alongside the village. A short drive away are Rexford Falls, a waterfall, and Lebanon Reservoir. Cazenovia Lake is a longer drive away.

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