What it’s like
The place. Greenville is a small town in Greene County where the population skews older than in much of the country, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run a little above the county's, and very few residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and highs hovering around freezing, while July brings warm summer days.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by restaurants, hotels and entertainment, government, and shops. Greenville Central School District is the town's largest workplace, with Tops Markets and the Tractor Supply Company store also among the biggest employers. Commutes tend to be fairly long, and a modest share of people work from home.
Things to do. A short drive away, Tenmile Creek and Basic Creek are both rivers, and Basic Creek Reservoir is nearby too. A longer drive brings you to Kaaterskill Falls, a waterfall, and Olana State Historic Site, a museum.

Natural hazards
- Inland floodingRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Greene County, 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 Greene County and the Albany-Schenectady-Troy, NY metro.
