 GENERAL INFORMATION
The agricultural, commercial fishing and forest products industries are key economic engines in the Northeast
according to an economic impact report recently released by Farm Credit East, the largest lender to Northeast
agriculture.
The report found that the 79,485 farms and related businesses through agricultural, commercial fishing gout the
eight-state region of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, New Hampshire, Rhode Island
and Vermont produced an estimated $103 billion in economic activity and resulted in 483,375 jobs on and off
the farm.
The Northeast is also the richest region of the United States. In 2007, the wealthiest states included New Jersey
(second), Connecticut (third), and Massachusetts (fifth), according to the U.S. Census Bureau. New York alone
accounts for nearly 8 percent of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) as of 2005. While they rank high in income,
they are predominantly small in overall population and area, with only New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania
ranking in the top ten states in population and no state ranking in the top ten in size.
Climate
The northeastern states possess a wide range of climates. Rainfall varies from over 50 inches annually in some
coastal areas to 32 inches in the western part of Pennsylvania and New York. Snowfall can range from over 100
inches per year in Upstate New York to only trace amounts in the coastal areas of Maryland. Generally, northern
New England, the parts of New York north of the Mohawk River, highland areas in the Appalachians, and some
coastal areas have warm, humid summers and snowy, often bitterly cold winters.
Culture
Religion
While some regions of the United States, such as the South, are predominantly Protestant, half of the states in the
Northeast are predominantly Roman Catholic, with Rhode Island having the highest percentage of Catholics in the
Continental United States. This is largely due to substantial levels of immigration the region received in the
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries from Ireland, Italy, Quebec, and other Catholic regions. The Northeast is
also home to many other religious groups. It has the largest concentration and percentage of Jews in the United
States.
