What it’s like
The place. North Babylon is a residential community on the south shore of Long Island, in Suffolk County. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run above the county's, with few residents living below the poverty line. The population leans toward middle age, and the winters are cold while the summers turn warm, with rain and melted snow spread through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in professional and business services, and in the building trades. Within the town itself, the North Babylon Union Free School District is the largest workplace, and Aldi and AutoZone are among the other big names. Commutes are long, and a modest share of people work from home.
Things to do. Belmont Lake State Park, a protected area, lies in or beside town. A short drive away are Bethpage State Park and Robert Moses State Park, both protected areas, and the American Airpower Museum. For a longer outing, Flushing Meadows–Corona Park and Citi Field are a longer drive away.

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