Westchester County has the highest countywide population density outside of the boroughs of New York City and Nassau County on Long Island. Population density is especially high in the southern cities of Westchester, including New Rochelle, Mt. Vernon, Yonkers, and White Plains, where the high-density urban development patterns continue out of New York City. Towns in the northeast corner of the county are generally more suburban than the rest of the county with some areas being rural in nature.
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.
