Delhi profile


Living in Delhi



Delhi is a very small village located in the state of New York. With a population of 2,982 people and two associated neighborhoods, Delhi is the 501st largest community in New York. Delhi has an unusually large stock of pre-World War II architecture, making it one of the older and more historic villages.

A relatively large number of people in Delhi telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 10.24% of the workforce works from home. While this may seem like a small number, as a fraction of the total workforce it ranks among the highest in the country. 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.

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 15.02 minutes getting to work every day.

The citizens of Delhi are among the most well-educated in the nation: 40.53% 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 2018 was $20,954, which is low income relative to New York and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $83,816 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, Irish, English, Italian, and Polish.
