What it’s like
The place. Pine City sits in Chemung County in New York State, where winters are cold and snowy and summers are warm. Rain and melted snow arrive throughout the year, so the seasons are fairly wet as well. Across the county, most homes are lived in by their owners.
Work. Schools, hospitals and social care are among the biggest employers for people in the county, followed by manufacturing, shops and professional and business services. Joblessness across the county has crept up a little lately, and there are slightly fewer jobs than there were before. Most adults do not hold a four-year degree, and working from home is uncommon.
Things to do. The Corning Museum of Glass is a museum a longer drive away, and it is one of the best known places nearby. The Arnot Art Museum is a museum a short drive away, and Eldridge Park, an amusement park, is also a short drive.

Natural hazards
- LightningRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Chemung County, 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 Chemung County and the Elmira, NY metro.
