What it’s like
The place. Pomona is a small village in Rockland County, and it is a young one by age, with a median age well below what many older towns report. Nearly everyone owns the home they live in, and incomes run well above the county's, with very few households living below the poverty line. A large majority of adults hold a four-year degree, and winters are colder and snowier than in much of the country, while summers turn warm in July.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, banks, insurance and property, and professional and business services also common. Across Rockland County, the largest workplaces include the Clarkstown Central School District, Good Samaritan Hospital and the East Ramapo Central School District. Commutes are long, and a good number of people work from home, while unemployment across the county has held steady compared with a year earlier.
Things to do. The best-known places nearby are all a longer drive away. The United States Military Academy is a museum, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art is among the best known art museums in the country. Central Park, a garden in the heart of the city, is also a longer drive away.

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