What it’s like
The place. Greenhurst sits in Chautauqua County in western New York, where the population leans toward middle and later life. Across the county, most homes are lived in by their owners, and many of those homes are older houses set among lakes, creeks and farmland. Household incomes run below the county's typical level for many families, so the town is a place where budgets are often watched closely.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in shops, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Jobs across the county dropped slightly in the most recent year, and unemployment edged up over the past year. Few people work from home, and most commutes are brief.
Things to do. Chautauqua Lake, a lake a short drive away, is one of the best known features of the area, and Long Point State Park on its shore is a protected area a short drive away. In town or just beside it, the Chadakoin River runs through, and the Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Center, a museum a short drive away, is a good stop for visitors.

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 Chautauqua County and the Jamestown-Dunkirk-Fredonia, NY metro.
