What it’s like
The place. Spring Valley is a village in Rockland County, New York, and a young one in its makeup, with a lower median age than most places. Incomes run well below the county's, and far more households are in poverty than across the county as a whole. Most homes here are rented rather than owned, yet the typical home is still valued at a high price, which makes housing a pressing matter for many families.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in the building trades, in shops and in professional and business services. Orange and Rockland Utilities, Target and Gemstar are among the largest workplaces in the village. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many places, few people work from home, and the typical commute is a moderate one.
Things to do. The best-known places within reach are in and around New York City, each a longer drive away: the Statue of Liberty, a tourist attraction; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a museum; and Central Park, a garden. The United States Military Academy, also a museum, is another longer drive away. Winters are cold with a fair amount of snow, and summers are warm, so the seasons shape how people spend their days outdoors.

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.
