What it’s like
The place. Keeseville is a small community in Essex County, in the northeastern corner of New York, with a population that skews a little younger than many rural towns in the region. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and a typical home costs less than many Americans would expect to pay. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are comfortably warm, with July the warmest.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and professional and business services also employing many people. Across Essex County, some of the largest workplaces are Elizabethtown Community Hospital, the Sylvamo-Ticonderoga Mill and Walmart. Fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than across the country as a whole, and most people travel to work rather than working from home.
Things to do. Lake Champlain and the Ausable River are both a short drive away, and Valcour Bay, an archaeological site, is close by as well. Farther afield, a longer drive leads to Lake Placid, a reservoir and one of the best known places on the list. Together these make water and the outdoors the natural focus for time away from home.

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