New York is the nation's fourth most populous state, and its largest city, New York, has been the U.S. city with the largest population in every census since 1790. However, almost nine-tenths of the state is considered rural, and the population density of New York State as a whole is less than that of six other states. Much of New York is rolling agricultural land and rugged mountains with plentiful renewable resources, including hydropower, wind, solar, and biomass. Portions of two of the Great Lakes—Lake Erie and Lake Ontario—are in New York. The Niagara River, with its massive falls, flows between the lakes and makes the state a leading producer of hydroelectric power. The Great Lakes and Atlantic Ocean shorelines have some of the state's best wind resources. New York produces some natural gas but only small amounts of crude oil, and it does not mine any coal. As a result, New York is dependent on energy supplies from out of state to meet about three-fourths of its energy needs.
New York has the nation's third-largest state economy. It also has one of the most energy-efficient economies in the nation, and New Yorkers consume less total energy per capita than the residents than all but two other states, California and Rhode Island. The transportation, commercial, and residential sectors each account for about three-tenths of state end-use energy consumption. Many of New York's key industries, like finance and real estate; professional and business services; and government, are not energy-intensive, and the industrial sector accounts for only one-tenth of state energy use, a smaller share than in all other states except Maryland and Massachusetts. Per capita energy consumption in New York's transportation sector is lower than in all other states except Rhode Island. The state's energy efficiency results in part from the wide use of mass transportation in New York's densely populated urban areas. In 2019, nearly three-tenths of state residents used public transit to commute to work, which was almost six times the national average. However, energy use increases during New York's winters when demand for heating rises, and arctic winds and lake-effect snows sweep in from Canada across the Great Lakes.
