What it’s like
The place. Hampton is a very small town in Washington County, New York, with a quiet, rural feel. Household incomes here are close to the county's, and a typical home is valued well below what many older homeowners elsewhere in the state might expect. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and highs staying near freezing, while summers are warm, and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and professional and business services also employing many. Across Washington County, some of the largest workplaces are the Hudson Falls Central School District, Irving Consumer Products, which makes paper towels in paper mills, and The Fort Miller Co, which makes precast concrete products. Fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than in many places, and most people travel a fair way to work, with only a small number working from home.
Things to do. Close to home, Wilgus State Park is a short drive away and offers protected woodland to explore, and the Mettawee River is also a short drive off. A longer drive brings you to Lake George, one of the best known lakes in the region, and to Fort Ticonderoga, a historic fort from the colonial era.

Natural hazards

- Cold wavesRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Washington 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 Washington County and the Glens Falls, NY metro.
