What it’s like
The place. Redford is a very small community in Clinton County, with far fewer people than most towns. Households here earn more than the county as a whole, and nearly everyone owns the home they live in, which points to a settled place where neighbors tend to stay put. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are mild and warm in July. Rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount over the year.
Work. People who live in Redford work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in shops, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Clinton County, the largest workplaces include Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital, SUNY College at Plattsburgh and Schluter Systems. The typical commute is a fairly short drive each way, and jobs across the county have slipped slightly over the past year.
Things to do. A short drive away are Silver Lake, a quiet lake, and Taylor Pond Wild Forest, a protected area of woods and water. Macomb Reservation State Park, also a short drive off, is another protected area for time outdoors. For a longer outing, Lake Champlain is a larger lake that takes more of a drive to reach.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Redford’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Clinton County and the Plattsburgh, NY metro.
