Malone is a somewhat small village located in the state of New York. With a population of 5,448 people and three associated neighborhoods, Malone is the 300th largest community in New York. Much of the housing stock in Malone 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: 7.54% 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.

Compared to the rest of the country, citizens of Malone spend much less time in their cars: on average, their commute to work is only 18.17 minutes. This also means that noise and pollution levels in the village are less than they would otherwise be.
