Zone data derived from the PRISM Climate Group, Oregon State University and USDA, with the state’s population from 2020 US Census.

This actually makes a lot of sense because most of New York’s population is in New York City or Long Island, and much of rest is Westchester, Rockland, Buffalo and Syracuse.
