What it’s like
The place. Lindenhurst is a village on the South Shore of Long Island, in Suffolk County. It is a place where nearly everyone owns the home they live in, and household incomes sit just under the county's. Typical home values and rents are high, and winters are cold while summers turn warm, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, then transport, warehouses and utilities, and professional and business services. The Lindenhurst Union Free School District is the largest workplace in the village, and Seacoast Distributors, an outboard motor wholesaler, is also among the biggest. Commutes tend to be long, and relatively few people work from home.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Jones Beach Island, Bethpage State Park and Belmont Lake State Park are all a short drive away. Jones Beach Island is a beach, while Bethpage State Park and Belmont Lake State Park are protected areas with open space to walk and spend a day. Farther afield, the Bronx Zoo is a longer drive away if you want a full day out in the city.

Natural hazards
- Coastal floodingRelatively high
- Winter weatherRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Lindenhurst’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 Suffolk County and the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA metro.
