Situated in the southern area of the state, Allegany County is home to nearly 49,000 people according to the 2010 Census. Out of the 1,034 square miles of the county, only 0.5 percent is water, mostly the Genesee River which more or less cuts the territory in two.
The median home price in this area is a mere $68,000, so it’s pretty much impossible not to find something to suit the depth of your pockets. The cost of living index was also calculated at 87.8, so it should be quite a difference between what you’re paying now and what you’d be paying if you chose Allegany County to move.
