NEW CITY, NY – Supervisor George Hoehmann announced that the most recent report released by Money Magazine ranked Clarkstown as one of the Best Places to Live in the nation. Clarkstown, with approximately 86,000 residents, was ranked number 49 and was one of two towns in all of New York to rank on the list.
Money Magazine created the list by analyzing various data to weigh a town’s desirability as a place to live. The list was restricted to cities and towns that have populations between 25,000 to 500,000 and were ranked based on statistics related to economic opportunity, cost of living, housing affordability, school quality, income, arts and leisure options, safety, health care, and diversity.
“I am so proud of this wonderful honor for our Town,” said Supervisor George Hoehmann. “Clarkstown is an amazing place to raise a family and also to settle down in retirement; we have so much to offer all ages from our excellent school system, to parks, senior centers, recreation programs, businesses, shopping, entertainment and more.”
