What it’s like
The place. Woodmere is a community in Nassau County where nearly all homes are lived in by their owners, and where household incomes run well above the county's. Residents are younger than in many suburbs, and a large majority of adults hold a four-year degree. Very few people live below the poverty line, and typical home values are high.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in professional and business services, banks, insurance and property, and shops. Among the largest workplaces in Woodmere are the Hewlett-Woodmere Union Free School District and Meridian Senior Living. Commutes are long, and a good number of people work from home. Unemployment across Nassau County is the same as it was a year ago, and the county has added a few more jobs.
Things to do. Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, a large public park, is a short drive away. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Statue of Liberty. Winters are cold with a fair amount of snow, summers are warm, and rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Woodmere’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 Nassau County and the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA metro.
