Holley is a very small village located in the state of New York. With a population of 1,727 people and two associated neighborhoods, Holley is the 634th largest community in New York. Holley has an unusually large stock of pre-World War II architecture, making it one of the older and more historic villages.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 10.79% 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.

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

The education level of Holley citizens is a little higher than the average for US cities and towns: 23.63% of adults in Holley have at least a bachelor's degree.

The per capita income in Holley in 2018 was $35,325, which is middle income relative to New York, and upper middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $141,300 for a family of four. However, Holley contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
