Despite common assumptions, New York City is not the fastest-growing location in New York State. In fact, it ranks as the 1,226th fastest-growing city, with various smaller towns and cities witnessing notable population increases since 2020. This trend can be attributed to individuals relocating from the urban hustle of NYC to quieter, smaller communities. Towns like Malone and Pine Plains illustrate this shift, with annual growth rates of 2.18% and 2.22% respectively, showcasing an overall trend of residents seeking more tranquil living environments as they reconsider retirement options.
