There is a spatial pattern of generally lower population density in the eastern parts of the county, and comparatively higher population densities in towns closer to the Hudson River. By far the most densely populated part of the county is the City of Hudson and the surrounding neighborhoods in the Town of Greenport.
Data Note: The dots on the map do not reflect exact locations of people. Density is calculated by census tract, and the dots are distributed randomly within the tract. Each dot represents 10 people. Villages and Hamlets are labeled only where there is a census tract that aligns with its borders.
