New York Natural Resources

Which statement gives the clearest accurate account of Niagara Falls?

• Niagara Falls combines hydrology, international boundary geography, tourism, and hydroelectric generation within one site.
• State GDP rankings require consistent metric definitions, periods, and releases because nominal, real, annual, and quarterly series answer different questions.
• SUNY and CUNY represent distinct public higher-education geographies: one statewide and one primarily city-centered.
• New York’s near-flat 2024-2025 population estimate should not be generalized into a long-term trend without examining a longer same-vintage series.
