USA Today published a list of the poorest cities/towns in each state. In New York State that town is New Square, home to the Skverer Hasidim. To its credit the paper did not identify the inhabitants as exclusively Jewish/Hasidic. The most shocking thing to me was the home prices, which are off the charts and totally out of line with poverty of its residents. New Square is easily the most expensive place for an impoverished family to (have to) buy a home. It borders on tragedy.

New York:  New Square
* Median household income: $23,924 (state: $62,765)
* Poverty rate: 64.4% (state: 15.1%)
* Median home value: $338,200 (state: $293,000)
* Population: 7,995

Home to some of the wealthiest and some of the poorest towns in the United States, New York has the worst income inequality of any state. In New Square, a small town in southern New York, most households earn $24,000 a year or less. Meanwhile, less than 60 miles away, in the Long Island neighborhood of East Hills, the typical household earns $199,000 a year. New Square also has a poverty rate of 64.4% - the highest in both the state and the country.

And in other Hasidic news:

The focus on the Hareidim borders/bordered on anti-Semitism...
