New York has some of the highest property taxes in the country, and now thousands are leaving because of it.

The numbers are raising serious concerns. New York Ranks Among the Worst States For Property Taxes.  

The numbers are driving a very real exodus.

New York lost a net 71,987 income tax filers between 2022 and 2023, the second-worst outmigration in the country. The average adjusted gross income of a departing New Yorker is $62,633, meaning the state is bleeding real tax base with every U-Haul that heads south.

The Hudson Valley and Upstate New York is just as bad as New York City, if not worst. In fact, some suburban and rural areas have some of the heaviest property tax burdens relative to home values anywhere in the state.
