Cancers in Albany County, compared to expected Cancers

|

Some of the spikes in cancer are due to the small populations of the town, where one cancer case can quickly spike above what the state-wide average would suggest for a similar demographic.

CDTA Troy Bus Depot

It seems very wasteful of urban downtown space in Troy that the CDTA Troy Bus Depot is located at the base of the Hoosick Street Interstate 787 Bridge, but it was a neighborhood that was demolished decades earlier under one of many failed urban renewal projects in the city.
