Delhi is a place where college students are a big part of the character and culture of the town. Small towns have often struggled with declining populations over the past few decades, but the presence of such a large college student population has helped Delhi to fight this trend. Not only does the college population add spending and jobs to local economy, but it also contributes a very tangible, youthful energy to the town.
Compared to the rest of the country, citizens of Delhi spend much less time in their cars: on average, their commute to work is only 14.19 minutes. This also means that noise and pollution levels in the village are less than they would otherwise be.
The education level of Delhi ranks among the highest in the nation. Of the 25-and-older adult population in Delhi, 41.93% have at least a bachelor's degree. The typical US community has just 21.84% of its adults holding a bachelor's degree or graduate degree.
The per capita income in Delhi in 2022 was $23,621, which is low income relative to New York and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $94,484 for a family of four. However, Delhi contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
Delhi is a somewhat ethnically-diverse village. The people who call Delhi home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of Delhi residents report their race to be White, followed by Asian. Important ancestries of people in Delhi include German, English, Irish, Italian, and Norwegian.
The most common language spoken in Delhi is English. Other important languages spoken here include Spanish and Slavic languages.
