What it’s like
The place. Harrison is a village in Westchester County, home to a young-leaning population for a place with so many settled households. Incomes run well above the county's, and very few residents live below the poverty line. Most homes are lived in by their owners, though renting costs a good deal, and a large share of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm in July, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow across the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by banks, insurance and property, professional and business services, and restaurants and hotels. Among the largest workplaces in Harrison are PepsiCo, SUNY at Purchase College and the Harrison Central School District. Unemployment is unchanged from a year ago, and the typical commute is fairly long, though a good number of people work from home.
Things to do. The Bronx River is a short drive away, and most of the better-known sights are a longer drive off. Among them are the Bronx Zoo, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Central Park, which is a garden. For a day out, the Museum of Modern Art and the Statue of Liberty, a tourist attraction, are also 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 Harrison’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 Westchester County and the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA metro.
