NYC occupies a tiny portion of NYS but almost all of the state was/ is Rust Belt. NYC due to its sheer size and diversity escaped the plight every other New York city suffered. Chicago did as well in the Midwest. Most of Upstate is not Great Lakes; Utica, Syracuse, Albany, Schenectady, Binghamton, etc. Buffalo and Rochester are the two Great Lakes cities.
