It's hard to imagine two places in New York State more different than the South Bronx and Schoharie County.
The South Bronx has 31,582 people per square mile. The county has 51.
Less than 2 percent of the people who live in the South Bronx are white. Schoharie County, about three hours straight north by car, is 95 percent white.
The South Bronx is home to four jails, two sewage plants and an untold number of subway rats. Schoharie County has 13,600 cows, 1,305 sheep, 291 hogs and several hundred farmers to tend those animals and grow vegetables and fruit.
