Across Upstate NY, there are cities and towns suffering from the effects of poverty.

The median income splits all the incomes in the area at the middle. The 50 poorest places in Upstate NY are ranked below, from least to most poor. Take a look.

This is rather fascinating considering where these are located and what they once stood for economically. Just takes a moment to read.
