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. Much of the housing stock in Delhi was built prior to World War II, 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.

Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 16.30% of people work from home. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce it is high relative to the nation. 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 where college students really create the town feel and character. So many small towns have lost population over the last 20-30 years that having the local college presence in the Delhi area, with all of the energy of the students filling area dorms and apartments each fall, really helps Delhi maintain a good 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.

One of the benefits of Delhi is that there is very little traffic. The average commute to work is 15.78 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.

The education level of Delhi ranks among the highest in the nation. Of the 25-and-older adult population in Delhi, 41.91% have at least a bachelor's degree. The typical US community has just 21.84% of its adults holding a bachelor's degree or graduate 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.
