This might as well be describing the northernmost part of New York State. It’s getting very close to one in three people in the north country being over 65 years old. There are at least 15 to 20 School districts up there that realistically should be closed due to lack of students, and many of the Adirondack counties have closed schools. Simply look at Zillow for Potsdam, Massena, Ogdensburg. Hundreds of affordable houses for sale that have been on the market for a long time.
I was going to comment this about Vermont too, though perhaps a bit less intense than upstate NY. One of the culture shocks of moving away from VT for college was realizing that not many other Americans had faced the feeling that the way of life was ending.
