What it’s like
The place. Remsenburg is a small community on the south shore of Long Island, in Suffolk County. Its residents are older than in most of the country, and very few live below the poverty line. Homes here are valued far above what is typical across the country. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Residents most often work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, shops and the building trades. Across Suffolk County, some of the largest workplaces are Stony Brook University Hospital, Stony Brook University and South Shore University Hospital. The typical commute is a fairly long one, and joblessness across the county is close to what it was a year ago, while the number of jobs has edged up.
Things to do. Cupsogue Beach County Park, a protected shoreline area, is a short drive away, as is the Peconic River for a walk by the water. The Long Island Game Farm, a zoo, is also a short drive away. For a longer outing, Fire Island National Seashore is 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 Remsenburg’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 Suffolk County and the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA metro.
