What it’s like
The place. Jordan is a small village in Onondaga County, with a population that keeps to a village scale. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run just a little below the county's. Winters are cold and very snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest, and rain and melted snow fall through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and restaurants, hotels and entertainment also employing many. The typical commute is a fairly long one, and few people work from home. Across Onondaga County, some of the largest workplaces are University Hospital at Syracuse, Syracuse University and Amazon.
Things to do. Skaneateles Creek runs in or beside town, and Cross Lake, a lake, is a short drive away. Otisco Lake, another lake, and the Oswego River are a longer drive away. Together they give plenty of waterside places for a day out.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Jordan’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 Onondaga County and the Syracuse, NY metro.
