Overview


Andes is a tiny town located in the state of New York. With a population of 189 people and just one neighborhood, Andes is the 967th largest community in New York. Much of the housing stock in Andes was built prior to World War II, making it one of the older and more historic towns in the country.

Occupations and Workforce

Unlike some towns, Andes isn’t mainly white- or blue-collar. Instead, the most prevalent occupations for people in Andes are a mix of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Andes is a town of service providers, sales and office workers, and transportation and shipping workers. There are especially a lot of people living in Andes who work in office and administrative support (19.30%), maintenance occupations (17.54%), and law enforcement and fire fighting (10.53%).

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 18.52% 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.

Setting & Lifestyle

Another notable thing is that Andes is a major vacation destination. Much of the town’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependent on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Andes’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.

Overall, Andes’s crime rate is one of the lowest in the nation, which makes a great place to live if safety is an important concern.

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, Andes has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Andes a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.

One of the benefits of Andes is that there is very little traffic. The average commute to work is 18.07 minutes, which is substantially less than the national average. Not only does this mean that the drive to work is less aggravating, but noise and pollution levels are lower as a result.

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