NY is big enough that that doesn't apply in most of the state. You're in Ohio, right? Most of NY state - including all the counties I listed - is like Ohio, not like Westchester. Those counties are all at least 3 hours away from Manhattan and very rural.There's some other nuances as well that could make NY a bit of a "unique case". Same with the other New England states.
While it's true of many areas that "more expensive when you get closer to the big cities", that dynamic seems to be particularly more pronounced certain places in NY.
That and space limitations in "The big city" may motivate people who lived in the big city move out to the more rural areas when they decide to start a family.
If a young couple is looking to start a family, a $2300/month 750sq ft apartment on a 4th floor walk-up probably isn't going to be ideal. (when they can move out to a rural/burb area and get something over twice the size for cheaper)
