Town of Webb – Old Forge – Block Population Density

|
Town wide population density is misleading. The Town of Webb, Herkimer County, NY is home to Old Forge. The resident population density is less 4 people per square mile. That seems very rural. But most of the town is forest preserve and timberland, most residents in the Town of Webb live in Old Forge/Thendra.
 
Only 7% of Town of Webb residents live in a tabulation block with a population density of 4 people per square mile or less. 93% of Town of Webb residents live on a block with more then 4 people per square mile.
