Heck, those $4000 and $5000 taxes these people were paying in NY are LOW. Westchester and Long Island are double to triple that in areas with decent school districts.

The $4-5000 taxes are for a house accessed at about $100,000. A $300,000 house pays about $15,000 in taxes annually in the Rochester region.
The trend will only continue. Like the lady in the article says, I also don't care what Cuomo's stats say. People are leaving upstate NY in droves. And the majority of the people who stay are not happy there and are looking to move in the near future.
The only people who stay are the old people who think anywhere outside of upstate NY is a burning cesspool of crime.

Actually the property tax on a 300k home where I live would be $2610.00 (with no school tax) and our salaries are well about the figure you stated. I like how there is always the general assumption that a decent salary can't be earned once you leave NY.

Like the median weekly salary comparison between Long Island and Raleigh-Durham. R-D’s is higher.
If Raleigh-Durham were together, it would be lower due to the Raleigh portion having more people and it’s average annual income is about $6k lower than the Nassau-Suffolk Metro Division figure. Per capita income is about $20k higher in the Nassau-Suffolk Metro Division than either Durham-Chapel Hill or Raleigh areas according to 2016 information from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. According to the BEA, the Nassau-Suffolk Average Earnings per job according to 2016 numbers was $64,514. For Durham-Chapel Hill it is $65,190 and for Raleigh it is $56,555.

With that said, I get the point.
Median income would likely be much different and that source is nice due to seeing things by occupation.
This also depends on the area, as outside of Atlanta, Dallas, Houston and Midland in TX, no other Southern area has an Annual mean(average) wage in above $50k. In NY State, Besides the Nassau-Suffolk metro division, the Ithaca, Albany and Dutchess-Putnam metro division areas are above $50k.
