What it’s like
The place. Sherrill is a small city in Oneida County, home to a population on the older side, with most households owning the place they live in. Incomes run well above the county's, fewer people live below the poverty line than you might expect, and a good share of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while July brings warm summer days, and the year's rain and melted snow add up to a fairly wet climate.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in restaurants and hotels, shops and government. Within Sherrill itself, some of the biggest workplaces are Briggs & Stratton - Ferris Industries, which makes lawn and garden mulchers, Sherrill Manufacturing, a maker of plated flatware, and a grocery store. Unemployment across the county is a little higher than a year ago, and the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before, while the typical commute is fairly short and some people work from home.
Things to do. The Oneida Community Mansion House, a museum, sits in or beside town and is the closest of the area's well-known sights. A short drive away are Verona Beach State Park, a protected area, and Oneida Creek, a river good for a quiet afternoon outdoors. For a longer drive, Oneida Lake offers a large lake to visit.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Sherrill’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 Oneida County and the Utica-Rome, NY metro.
