What it’s like
The place. Greene is a small village in Chenango County, with a population that is fairly young for a place of its size and incomes a little below the county's. More homes here are lived in by their owners than rented, though the village has a good number of renters too. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and highs staying right around freezing, and summers are pleasantly warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount over the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, banks and insurance, and government also employing many. The largest workplaces in Greene include The Raymond, which makes trucks and tractors, the Greene Central School District, and Cocojune Products, a maker of milk drinks and chocolate. Some residents work from home, and the typical commute is moderate.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Chenango Valley State Park is a protected area a short drive away, and Long Pond, a lake, is also a short drive from the village. The Tioughnioga River, also a short drive away, offers another place to get near the water. Farther afield, the Binghamton Zoo at Ross Park is a longer drive.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Greene’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Chenango County.
