What it’s like
The place. Mount Morris is a village in Livingston County, in western New York. Its residents are younger than those in much of the country, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than across the country, and incomes are a little below the county's. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers are pleasantly warm and the rain and melted snow spread fairly evenly through the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, professional and business services, and the building trades. Among the largest workplaces in Mount Morris are Arc GLOW and the Mount Morris Central School District. The typical commute is fairly long, and only a small share of people work from home.
Things to do. Canaseraga Creek runs in or beside town, and Letchworth State Park, a large protected area with a river gorge, is a short drive away. Silver Lake and Silver Lake State Park are also a short drive away, and the 1941 Historical Aircraft Group Museum is nearby too. For a longer outing, Conesus Lake is a short drive, while Canandaigua Lake is a longer one.

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