The historical population data for the ZIP code 12839, which corresponds to Hudson Falls in New York, reveals a population density of 441.08 people per square mile in 2022. This density falls within the range typically associated with rural areas, which are characterized by population densities between 50 and 500 people per square mile.

The lifestyle in rural areas is often community-oriented, centered around local schools and small businesses. Common activities in rural areas include hobby farming, horse ownership, and significant outdoor activities, thanks to the ample open spaces and natural surroundings.
