Previously I have posted about Cornell's Program on Applied Demographics (PAD) County Profiles. These profiles provide a rather in-depth look at each county in New
York, covering wide ranging topics from age and sex of the population,
to the languages spoken at home, poverty levels, education, agricultural
characteristics, and local climate. Each county profile contains data,
as well as thematic maps to help in understanding some of the nuances
of the information.
PAD has now released similar profiles on the sub-county level - meaning similar types of data and written profiles are now out there on the town and city levels across the state. All you have to do is go to the PAD Profile page and select the Sub-County tab as shown below. Then simply click on a county to get the sub-county profiles.
For ease of access you can see the Oneida County Sub Profiles by clicking this link, and the Herkimer County Sub Profiles by following this one.
