  2. Lapeer town, Cortland County
  3. Cowenango town, Cattaraugus County

Population Over 75 Year Old

Some of the towns with the oldest population in the state are located in the Adirondacks and Catskills. Those communities may ultimately see some of the highest numbers of death rates as part of the population due to Coronavirus. It really could hit Rural America hard as many of the healthier youth have moved away to the cities for work.

Mobile Homes, Percentage Of Homes

|

This interactive Google Map looks at the percentage of homes in each Census Tract that are Mobile Homes. Generally, mobile homes are more common in rural parts of the state, but not always. Generally mobile homes are in lower-income parts of the state, but that also is a correlation but not a rule.

New York State population continues to decline, according to census data | Newsday

I am going to look at the numbers some more but I'm betting that the main person to blame for the state's population decline is President Trump. New York's historic population gains have always been highly dependent on immigrants coming to New York from foreign countries - be it refugees or those seeking a better life or career or a life with family members. 

Americans on the whole don't choose to move to New York - its an expensive, old state with aging infrastructure - but it's often the first stop for immigrants. But with the dynamic economy and diverse culture its a good first stop.
