Albion is a somewhat small village located in the state of New York. With a population of 5,730 people and five associated neighborhoods, Albion is the 290th largest community in New York. Much of the housing stock in Albion was built prior to World War II, making it one of the older and more historic villages in the country.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 12.92% 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.

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

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

The population of Albion has a very low overall level of education: only 7.36% of people over 25 hold a 4-year college degree or higher.

The per capita income in Albion in 2022 was $26,164, which is low income relative to New York, and lower middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $104,656 for a family of four. However, Albion contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
