What it’s like
The place. Oakfield is a village in Genesee County, and it is small enough that people tend to know one another. Household incomes run a little below the county's, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Winters are cold and very snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers are pleasantly warm, and the year brings a fair amount of rain as well as snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, restaurants and hotels, and shops also employing many. Across Genesee County, some of the largest workplaces are United Memorial Medical Center, O-AT-KA Milk Products and Genesee Community College. The commute to work is fairly long for many people, and some work from home.
Things to do. A short drive away, Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge and the Oak Orchard Wildlife Management Area are protected areas for walking and watching wildlife, and Indian Falls is a waterfall. A longer drive brings you to Six Flags Darien Lake, an amusement park, and to Hamlin Beach State Park on the lakeshore.

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