What it’s like
The place. Ticonderoga is a small community in Essex County, and its households earn less than the county's typical household, with more people living below the poverty line than you might expect in a place this size. Most homes are lived in by their owners. Winters are long and cold, with snowfall well above what much of the country sees, and summers are warm without being hot.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and restaurants and hotels also employing a good number. Among the largest workplaces in town are Walmart, the Ticonderoga Central School District and Elderwood at Ticonderoga. A fair number of people work from home, and a four-year degree is held by a minority of adults.
Things to do. History is close at hand: Fort Ticonderoga, the fort that gives the town its name, sits in or beside town, as does Mount Independence, an archaeological site. La Chute, a river, also runs in or beside town. For water and a change of scenery, Lake George 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 Ticonderoga’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Essex County.
