How Prevalent are the Amish in New York State?

According to sources, New York State has the fifth-largest Amish population in the nation, with over 24,000 people spread across nearly 60 settlements.
While the Amish population isn't particularly prevalent in Clayton, there is an Amish Farm Stand in Watertown, NY, near Clayton.

This devastating loss has shaken the tight-knit Amish community of Lisbon and surrounding towns, where neighbors say the Glick family is known for their kindness, faith, and hard work.
