Sleepy Hollow had a population of **10,889** in the **2020 U.S. Census**. It is a relatively small municipality by area, giving it a distinctly village-scale density while still functioning as part of the larger New York metropolitan region.
The community is diverse in ethnicity, language, and household background, reflecting broader immigration patterns in Westchester County. Spanish is widely spoken, and the village has long included residents of Latin American origin alongside other longstanding and newer populations. As with many Hudson Valley communities, household types range from multigenerational families to commuters, long-term homeowners, renters, and newer residents in redevelopment areas.
Broad population characteristics:
- **Population trend:** Generally stable to modestly changing over recent decades, influenced by housing supply and redevelopment. - **Age structure:** Includes families with children, working-age adults, and older residents; exact current age breakdown should be confirmed through the latest census tables. - **Gender:** No unusual imbalance is widely noted in public sources. - **Languages:** English and Spanish are especially prominent. - **Education and income:** Patterns generally track a mix of working- and middle-income households, with variation by neighborhood and housing type. - **Employment:** Many residents work locally in services, schools, healthcare, retail, municipal services, hospitality, or commute elsewhere in Westchester and New York City.
For fine-grained figures on race, ancestry, religion, income, and educational attainment, the most reliable source is the U.S. Census Bureau's decennial census and American Community Survey tables for the village. Religion is diverse, but a precise current breakdown is not consistently summarized at the village level in general reference sources.
