This dot density map reveals population clusters throughout the Hudson Valley. Rockland and Westchester County both have significantly higher population densities than other counties in the region. Harriman State Park and Bear Mountain State Park are clearly visible on this map as a band of low population density along the northwest border of Rockland County. Similarly, there is very low population density in Catskill Mountains in Greene and Ulster County.
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 100 people.
