Understand

Downstate New York is the counterpart of Upstate New York, which is the area of the state that's not part of New York City or Long Island and is too far from the city to be considered suburban. Since the question of where Upstate starts is a point of contention among the state's residents, where Downstate ends is also disputed, but almost everyone would agree that it includes at least the city, Long Island, Westchester County and Rockland County.
