What it’s like
The place. Uniondale is a community in Nassau County, on Long Island, where most homes are lived in by their owners. Incomes run below the county's, and the typical home is valued at a price that reflects the high cost of housing across the New York area. Residents are somewhat younger than in many older suburbs, and a good share hold a four-year degree.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in professional and business services, shops, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Among the largest workplaces in Uniondale are UPS, the Uniondale Union Free School District and Verizon Communications. The commute to work is fairly long, and only a small number of people work from home.
Things to do. The best-known places nearby are all a longer drive away, including the Statue of Liberty, a tourist attraction, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a museum. Central Park, a garden, is also a longer drive away. Winters are cold with some snow, and summers are warm, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow through the year.

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.
