What it’s like
The place. Honeoye is a very small lakeside community in Ontario County, built around the water that gives it its name. Household incomes run a little below the county's, and few residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, 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, followed by shops, manufacturing, and professional and business services. Commutes are on the longer side, and a fair number of people work from home. Across Ontario County, some of the largest workplaces are Fredrick Ferris Thompson Hospital, Victor Central School District and Hobart William Smith Colleges.
Things to do. Honeoye Lake sits in or beside town, and Honeoye Lake Boat Launch State Park is a short drive away for getting out on the water. Canadice Lake, another lake, and Bristol Mountain Ski Resort, a ski area, are also a short drive away. Canandaigua Lake is a longer drive.

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 Honeoye’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 Ontario County and the Rochester, NY metro.
