What it’s like
The place. Holley is a small village in Orleans County, home to a small community of residents.

Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and freezing days common, and summers turn pleasantly warm in July. Rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Most residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, retail and professional and business services also employing many. Across Orleans County, some of the largest workplaces are Baxter Healthcare Medina, Medina Central School District and Medina Memorial Hospital. Many people commute a fair distance to work, and a good number work from home.

Natural hazards

- Strong windRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Holley’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 Orleans County and the Rochester, NY metro.
