What it’s like
The place. Hilton is a village in Monroe County, in western New York, where people tend to be younger than in many towns and households earn more than the county's typical household. Most homes are lived in by their owners, though a good number rent, and fewer residents live below the poverty line than in many places of its size. Winters are cold and the summers pleasantly warm, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and banking, insurance and property also providing many jobs. In Hilton itself, the Hilton Central School District and Tops Markets are among the largest workplaces. The typical commute is moderate, and only a small share of people work from home.
Things to do. Hamlin Beach State Park, a protected area on the lake, is a short drive away. Farther off, a longer drive brings you to the George Eastman Museum and the Memorial Art Gallery, both museums, and Seneca Park Zoo.

Natural hazards
- Cold wavesRelatively moderate
- Winter weatherRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Hilton’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Monroe County and the Rochester, NY metro.
