Greene County

Cities and places in Greene.

20 Census places lie wholly or partly in Greene County. 20 carry enough published place level data for a page of their own and are linked. The rest are named here and not linked, because the American Community Survey and the SBA record between them do not carry enough about them to write an honest page. A place existing is itself worth knowing, so nothing in the county is left out.

A further 9 SBA approvals in Greene County are recorded against borrower cities that match no Census place, the largest being Freehold, Durham, West Coxsackie. Those are postal cities and unincorporated areas rather than incorporated places, so no page claims them, and their lending is counted in this county's totals above rather than under any city.
