"New York’s most rural place is Hamilton County, northwest of Saratoga Springs.
All of the county’s 1,717 square miles are considered rural, according to a recent list from Stacker. It’s the only 100% rural county in the state.
Stacker compiled a list of New York’s most rural counties using data from the U.S. Census Bureau. The counties are ranked by percent of their total land area that is rural.
Rural land is defined as any land that isn’t an urban area, meaning it doesn’t have a densely settle core of census tracts with at least 2,500 people, including 1,500 of whom must be residents of non-institutional buildings."
