What it’s like
The place. Mayfield is a small village in Fulton County, home to a young population by the standards of many upstate places, with a median age below what you might expect. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and homes here are typically worth more than the county's incomes might suggest. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while July is pleasantly warm, and a fair amount of rain and melted snow falls over the course of a year.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, manufacturing, and professional and business services. Across Fulton County, some of the largest workplaces are Nathan Littauer Hospital & Nursing Home, the Gloversville City School District and FAGE USA Dairy Industry. Relatively few adults hold a four-year degree, and few work from home, with most people commuting a fair distance to their jobs.
Things to do. Green Lake sits in or beside town, and Great Sacandaga Lake, a large reservoir, is a short drive away. Johnson Hall State Historic Site, a protected historic area, is also a short drive away. For something further afield, the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame is a longer drive away.

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