More On Poverty In The Mohawk Valley

Here are some more statistics from the New York State Association of Realtors that show the poverty in the western Mohawk Valley. Below are the eight counties (plus Rensselaer) of the Mohawk Valley showing the median price of single family homes sold in 2005. The number after the price is the ranking of the county out of the 58 New York State counties that the NYSAR lists. (Apparently there are four counties in NYC that don’t have any single family homes).

Once again you can see the economic gap between the eastern part of the valley and the western part of the valley.
