What it’s like
The place. Savannah is a very small rural community in Wayne County, with far fewer people than most towns. Household incomes here run well below the county's, and homes are modestly priced. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and very few people work from home. Winters are cold and heavy with snow, and summers are pleasantly warm.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, shops, and professional and business services. Across Wayne County, the largest workplaces include Newark Wayne Community Hospital, the Newark Central School District and Wayne Central School District. Unemployment across the county is the same as it was a year ago, and the county has gained a little in jobs.
Things to do. Crusoe Creek runs in or beside town, and Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area for wildlife and birds, is a short drive away. For a longer outing, Seneca Lake and Cayuga Lake are both lakes within a longer drive. Women's Rights National Historical Park, a protected area tied to the history of the women's rights movement, 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 Savannah’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 Wayne County and the Rochester, NY metro.
