Levels of government in NYS


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know where the linked article below gets this quoted stat:

"
The Democrat pointed to the high number of local governments spread throughout New York — 10,500 in all or one government for every 395 residents — as a leading source for the high property taxes."

I've heard that one gov't per 395 residents stat before - but those numbers don't add up considering there are 19.4 million residents in NYS. Is this number outside NYC and Long Island? Does anyone here know the details?
