Summary Statement

In summary, the data indicates a significant increase in the number of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients across various counties from the early 2000s until 2013. However, a clear reversal of this trend is evident in the subsequent years, as the number of recipients decreased across all counties in New York State from 2021 to 2023. For instance, Orange County had 5,955 SSI recipients in 2001, which decreased to 5,884 in 2005. It then increased to the highest number of 7,224 in 2013, but subsequently decreased again to 6,451 in 2023.
