What it’s like
The place. Jericho is a community in Nassau County, on Long Island, with a population on the older side and household incomes well above the county's. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and typical home values are high. Nearly all adults hold a four-year degree or more. Winters are cold, with freezing nights in January and some snow each year. Summers are warm, and rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, banks, insurance and property, and shops. Among the largest workplaces in Jericho are Northwell, the Jericho Union Free School District and The Bristal at Jericho. Commutes are long, and a good number of residents work from home. Unemployment in Nassau County is unchanged from a year ago, and the county has added a few more jobs.
Things to do. New York City's best-known sights are a longer drive away. They include Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Statue of Liberty. For a day out, the Bronx Zoo and Coney Island's beach are also a longer drive.

Natural hazards

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Jericho’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Nassau County and the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA metro.
