Accord is a tiny town located in the state of New York. With a population of 573 people and two associated neighborhoods, Accord is the 857th largest community in New York.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 25.00% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. 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.

In addition, Accord is home to many people who could be described as "urban sophisticates". Urban sophisticates are educated, wealthy, executives and professionals, who have urbane tastes in books, food, and travel, whether they actually live in a big city, or choose to reside in a small town. In big or medium-sized cities, urban sophisticates tend to frequent art institutions such as opera, symphonies, ballet, live theatre, and museums.

Because of many things, Accord is a very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, Accord really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Accord perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic nightlife, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live.

The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Accord has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Accord a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.

Being a small town, Accord does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.

The education level of Accord ranks among the highest in the nation. Of the 25-and-older adult population in Accord, 48.42% 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.
