The terrain is mostly forested hills and narrow river valleys, part of the Appalachian Plateau, with the lowest and most developed land following the Susquehanna and Chenango corridors. The county covers 706 square miles of land and 9.7 square miles of water.<\/p>\n<p>Broome County borders <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/tioga-county\/\">Tioga County<\/a> to the west, Cortland County to the northwest, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/chenango-county\/\">Chenango County<\/a> to the northeast, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/delaware-county-new-york\/\">Delaware County<\/a> to the east, and, across the state line, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/susquehanna-county\/\">Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/wayne-county-pennsylvania\/\">Wayne County, Pennsylvania<\/a> to the south.<\/p>\n<h2>Demographics<\/h2>\n<p>Broome County had 198,683 residents at the 2020 census, spread over 706 square miles for a density of about 281 people per square mile. Binghamton (47,969) and Johnson City (15,343) are the two largest communities, together holding roughly a third of the county&#8217;s population. Median household income in the county runs below the New York median of $82,095, reflecting the Southern Tier&#8217;s slower post-industrial economy relative to downstate New York.<\/p>\n<h2>Economy &amp; Local Life<\/h2>\n<p>Binghamton University (part of the State University of New York, enrollment above 18,000) is the county&#8217;s largest single employer and anchors a growing tech and research sector in the Vestal\/Binghamton area. Health care (UHS and Lourdes hospital systems), education, and government round out the largest employment sectors, a legacy of the county&#8217;s 20th-century manufacturing base that once centered on IBM, Endicott-Johnson shoe factories, and Singer sewing machines. The Spiedie Fest &amp; Balloon Rally, held each summer in Binghamton, celebrates the region&#8217;s signature marinated-meat sandwich and draws visitors countywide.<\/p>\n<h2>History<\/h2>\n<p>Broome County was formed on March 28, 1806, split off from Tioga County. It was named for John Broome, then lieutenant governor of New York. The Triple Cities area grew rapidly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries around shoe manufacturing (Endicott-Johnson) and, later, IBM, which traces its roots to an Endicott-based predecessor company and remained a major employer for decades before scaling back its local operations in the 1990s and 2000s.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting There<\/h2>\n<p>Interstate 81 runs north&ndash;south through the county past Binghamton and Whitney Point; Interstate 86 (the Southern Tier Expressway) crosses east&ndash;west; Interstate 88 heads northeast toward Albany. US Route 11 and NY Routes 7, 12, 17 and 26 provide additional local links.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Syracuse &mdash; 75 miles north<\/li>\n<li>Ithaca &mdash; 45 miles northwest<\/li>\n<li>Scranton, PA &mdash; 60 miles south<\/li>\n<li>Elmira &mdash; 45 miles west<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Greater Binghamton Airport in Johnson City offers the county&#8217;s own commercial air service.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Where is Broome County, New York?<\/strong><br \/>It sits in the Southern Tier of New York, on the Pennsylvania border, centred around Binghamton.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the population of Broome County?<\/strong><br \/>198,683 people, per the 2020 census.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How big is Broome County?<\/strong><br \/>706 square miles (1,828 km2) of land.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the county seat of Broome County?<\/strong><br \/>Binghamton is the county seat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many towns and villages are in Broome County?<\/strong><br \/>The county has 16 towns, 1 city, and 7 incorporated villages, plus numerous unincorporated hamlets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What ZIP codes are in Broome County?<\/strong><br \/>ZIP codes range across the county, with 13901&ndash;13905 covering Binghamton, 13760 covering Endicott and Endwell, and 13790 covering Johnson City, among others listed above.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the Triple Cities?<\/strong><br \/>The Triple Cities is the local name for Binghamton, Johnson City and Endicott, three adjoining communities on the Susquehanna River that share one built-up core.<\/p>\n<p>More counties in this state: <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/category\/new-york\/\">Towns and villages in New York<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broome County is a county in New York, United States, on the Pennsylvania border in the state&#8217;s Southern Tier.
