Saint Bonaventure has the distinction of having the lowest per capita income of any census designated place in New York State that is not a Hasidic Settlement. [cite web|url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_locations_by_per_capita_income
title=List of NYS Places by Per Capita Income] Three small villages in Rockland County and Orange County, New York have lower per capita income statistics. However the per capita income in all three of these places is due to the larger than average family sizes and traditional roles of women among the Hasidim that constitute almost all of their population. [cite web|url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiryas_Joel%2C_New_York
