Delhi is a very small village located in the state of New York. With a population of 3,159 people and two associated neighborhoods, Delhi is the 501st largest community in New York. Delhi has a large stock of pre-World War II architecture, making it one of the older and more historic villages in the country.

Also of interest is that Delhi has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 16.30% 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.

Delhi is a small town with a large college student population. Because of this, there is a real youthful, hip vibe to the place, and much of the life in the town is centered on the college. This has helped Delhi to buck the trend of other small towns that have suffered declining populations over the past 20 to 30 years. Spending by students, and faculty and staff jobs, are a big part of the local economy.

For a small village, there is also a high proportion of single, often educated, people living in Delhi. This is not typical for smaller communities in America, and adds a feeling of vibrancy to Delhi.

Residents of the village have the good fortune of having one of the shortest daily commutes compared to the rest of the country. On average, they spend only 15.78 minutes getting to work every day.

The citizens of Delhi are among the most well-educated in the nation: 41.91% of adults in Delhi have a bachelor's degree or even advanced degree, whereas the average US city has 21.84% holding at least a bachelor's degree.

The per capita income in Delhi in 2022 was $24,401, which is low income relative to New York and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $97,604 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 Polish.

The most common language spoken in Delhi is English. Other important languages spoken here include Spanish and Tagalog.
