What it’s like
The place. Montebello is a small village in Rockland County, where nearly everyone lives in a home they own. Residents are younger than in much of the county, and a large share of adults hold a four-year degree. Homes here are valued well above what is typical across the country. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and temperatures that often dip below freezing at night, while July brings warm summer days. Rain and melted snow add up to a fairly wet year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in professional and business services, in banks, insurance and property, or in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Among the largest workplaces in Montebello are Human Care Services for Families and Children, 03 Suffern, and Advance Care Alliance of NY Montebello. Jobs across the county have held roughly steady, and unemployment in the county is unchanged from a year ago. Commutes are long, and some residents work from home.
Things to do. Most of what draws visitors lies a longer drive away, in and around New York City. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is the best known, a museum, and Central Park is a large garden and public park. The United States Military Academy is also a longer drive away and is a museum. For a day out, these make a good trip for those who don't mind the drive.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Montebello’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 Rockland County and the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA metro.
