Living in Delhi



Delhi is a very small village located in the state of New York. With a population of 2,982 people and two associated neighborhoods, Delhi is the 501st largest community in New York. Much of the housing stock in Delhi was built prior to World War II, making it one of the older and more historic villages in the country.

Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 10.24% of people work from home. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce it is high relative to the nation. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

Delhi is a small town where college students really create the town feel and character. So many small towns have lost population over the last 20-30 years that having the local college presence in the Delhi area, with all of the energy of the students filling area dorms and apartments each fall, really helps Delhi maintain a good economy.
