What it’s like
The place. Piffard is a very small community in Livingston County, with few residents and a quiet, rural feel. Household incomes here run well below the county's, though only a small share of people live below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Precipitation falls through the year as both rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, manufacturing, and professional and business services also common. Across Livingston County, some of the largest workplaces are SUNY College at Geneseo, Livingston Health Care System and Dansville Central School District. Unemployment across the county has stayed close to where it was a year earlier, and the county has added a few more jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Conesus Lake and Canaseraga Creek are both a short drive away, for time on the water or along a river. The 1941 Historical Aircraft Group Museum is in or beside town. A longer drive brings you to Letchworth State Park, a protected area known for its natural scenery.

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