What it’s like
The place. Manlius is a small village in Onondaga County, with a population that skews somewhat older, and incomes a little below the county's. More homes are lived in by their owners than rented, and a large share of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold and very snowy, with January the coldest month, while July brings warm summer days.
Work. Residents most often work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, restaurants and hotels, and government. Among the largest workplaces in Manlius are L. & J. G. Stickley, a furniture maker, Tops Markets, a grocery chain, and Airport Lighting Company, which makes airport lighting fixtures. The typical commute is fairly short, and some residents work from home. Unemployment in the county has risen slightly over the past year, while the number of jobs has grown a little.
Things to do. Green Lakes State Park and Chittenango Falls State Park are both protected areas a short drive away, good for walking and time outdoors. Cazenovia Lake is also a short drive away, and Oneida Lake is a longer drive for a day by a bigger body of water. Rent is on the high side, so renting here costs more than many people expect.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Manlius’ 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.
