What it’s like
The place. Thurman is a small Warren County town where people tend to be older than in most places, and nearly everyone lives in a home they own. Incomes run well below the county's, and more residents live in poverty than is typical, so many households are managing on modest means. Winters are long, cold and very snowy, with a good deal of rain and melted snow through the year, and summers are mild.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, the building trades, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Warren County, some of the biggest employers are Glens Falls Hospital, Warren County itself and Finch Paper. The commute is long for many, and a fair number of people work from home. Job numbers across the county slipped slightly last year, and unemployment is close to where it stood a year earlier.
Things to do. Garnet Lake and Kibby Pond are lakes a short drive away, and the Schroon River is close by as well, which makes for easy days of fishing, paddling or simply sitting by the water. A longer drive brings you to Lake George, one of the best known lakes in the region, and to Gore Mountain, a ski area that suits the snowy winters.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Warren County, 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 Warren County and the Glens Falls, NY metro.
