What it’s like
The place. Pulaski is a village where the people tend to be older than in most American towns, and most homes are rented rather than lived in by their owners. A smaller share of adults hold a four-year degree than across the country, and a good number of households live below the poverty line. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are mild and pleasant, with July the warmest.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, other services and manufacturing. Across Oswego County, some of the largest workplaces are State University of New York at Oswego, Novelis Oswego Works and Oswego Hospital. Unemployment across the county is close to where it stood a year earlier, and the county has a few more jobs than it did the year before. The typical commute is a fairly long one, and hardly anyone works from home.
Things to do. Several places for time outdoors are a short drive away. Selkirk Shores State Park is a protected area, the Salmon River is a river known for its fishing, and South Sandy Pond is a lake. Fort Ontario, a fort, is a longer drive away.

Natural hazards
- Winter weatherRelatively high
- Ice stormsRelatively moderate
- Inland floodingRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Pulaski’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 Oswego County and the Syracuse, NY metro.
