What it’s like
The place. Fishkill is a small village in Dutchess County, in the Hudson Valley of New York. Residents tend to be older than in many places, and most households rent rather than own, which is unusual for the area. Incomes are close to the county's, and few residents live below the poverty line. A four-year degree is common among adults here.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by restaurants, hotels and entertainment, manufacturing, and professional and business services. Some of the biggest workplaces in Fishkill are Gap, Wakefern and Montfort Bros. The typical commute is a moderate one, and few people work from home.
Things to do. Clarence Fahnestock State Park is a protected area a short drive away, and Dia Beacon, a museum, is also a short drive away. Sprout Creek runs in or beside town, and the Van Wyck Homestead, an archaeological site, is there too. For a longer outing, the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum 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 Fishkill’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 Dutchess County and the Poughkeepsie-Newburgh-Middletown, NY metro.
