Madison County housing report: Market tough for renters, homebuyers

Madison County isn’t the easiest place in which to find a good rental unit or to buy an affordable home these days, according to a new county report on housing. The median home price in the county’s historically affordable housing market rose by about $100,000 between 2020 and 2026 because there aren’t enough homes on the market, according to the recently released Madison County 2026 Housing Assessment. And more than two out of three rental units in the county will be at least 50 years old by 2030. But local rents aren’t high enough for landlords to afford the necessary maintenance and upgrades, according to the report. That doesn’t mean, though, that apartments are easily affordable for county residents. About two out of three renters earning $50,000 annually or less pay more for rent than they can really afford, the assessment found. And that number goes up to more than 80% for renters earning less than $35,000 a year. And that gloomy assessment hits as the county is hoping to benefit from new residents moving to the county to take advantage of economic development efforts in Central New York, such as the Micron complex being built in Clay. “This report

Voters without a party now outnumber Republicans on Blakeman’s Nassau County home turf

There are now more registered voters without a party than there are Republicans in Nassau County, the home turf of failed gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman, according to newly released data. Non-affiliated voters now outnumber Republicans 314,000-307,000, according to active enrollment data that was released in early November just before GOP pick Blakeman was shellacked in his bid to unseat Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat who carried Nassau. The numbers reflect longstanding statewide numbers, as voters without a party have already outnumbered registered Republicans for several years. Non-affiliated voters don’t include members of minor political parties including the Conservative and Working Families parties. Voters cast their ballots during the midterm elections at P.S. 152 in the Inwood section of Manhattan, New York, on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026. Luiz C. Ribeiro for NY Post California just voted to give two billionaires $4 billion in taxpayer money so they can do obscure research Nassau’s neighbor on Long Island, Suffolk County, is home to about 345,000 independents and 341,000 Republicans, according to the data.
