What it’s like
The place. Mayville is a village in Chautauqua County, home to a small community where most households own the home they live in. Incomes here run higher than across the county as a whole, though a noticeable share of residents still live below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and the highs staying only a little above freezing, while July is pleasantly warm, and a good deal of rain and melted snow falls over the course of a year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment also employing a good number. Some people work from home. Across Chautauqua County, the largest workplaces include Cummins, an engine maker, the Jamestown City School District, and SUNY at Fredonia. Unemployment across the county is about where it was a year ago, and the county has lost a few jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Chautauqua Lake is a short drive away, and Palestine Park is another short drive for a stroll outdoors. Long Point State Park on Lake Chautauqua, a protected area for walking and spending time by the water, is also a short drive away. For a museum visit, the McClurg Museum is close by, while the Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Center is a longer drive.
