Data Notes Municipal Finances – The NY Tax Cap law restricts schools and local governments from raising the property tax levy by more than 2% without a supermajority vote of the local governing body. Municipal Employees – Employees were counted as part time if they earned less than $30,000 in 2016 and full time if they earned over $30,000. “General” employees are non-police/fire employees. Municipal Revenues and Expenditures – Categories are determined by the Comptroller’s Office. “Proceeds of Debt” revenue comes from sale of bonds and is not a recurring yearly source of revenue.

Dollars and Cents Analysis The village’s budget has been under the Tax Cap in each year since 2013. Village property taxes are 25% of the total tax bill, which is one of the lowest of any UAA community. Wappingers Falls has 27 full time and 49 part time employees.

Data Notes Expenditures per Pupil – Adjusted for inflation using CPI inflation tables from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Graduation Rate & College/Career Readiness – College/Career Readiness (CCR), also known as Aspirational Performance Measure, is a statistic created by NY State to track high school graduates’ ability to succeed in college or the workforce. CCR is based on a student’s Regents scores and was introduced in the 09-10 school year. 2015-16 data is not yet available. Student Characteristics – Students are eligible for free school lunch if their family’s income is below 130% of the poverty line and reduced price lunch if their family’s income is below 185% of the poverty line. English Language Learners are students who have been classified as not proficient in English and require additional instruction.

Education Analysis Students from the village attend Wappingers Central School District, which serves nearly 11,000 students in parts of five towns. The district’s graduation rate, CCR rate (see below), and average SAT scores are among the best of any UAA district. The number of students receiving free or reduced lunch (a measure of poverty) more than tripled since 2006, but remains lower than most UAA districts. Among all village residents 24% have an associate’s degree or higher, and 18% lack a high school diploma.

Data Notes County Health Ranking – Each year, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation releases a health ranking for every county in the U.S. These rankings are based on dozens of key health metrics. Access to Quality Food – The US Dept. of Agriculture defines census tracts as food deserts if the tracts have high poverty and low access to food. Pattern analyzed GIS data to find supermarket walktimes. Childhood Obesity – These categories are mutually exclusive. Obese individuals are not also counted as overweight.

Health Analysis With several nearby supermarkets, none of the village is classified as a food desert. 15% of residents lack health insurance. 34% of students in the Wappingers School District are obese or overweight.

ABOUT THIS PROJECT The Urban Action Agenda (UAA) is a major initiative led by Hudson Valley Pattern for Progress to promote growth and revitalization in urban centers throughout the nine-county Hudson Valley Region. The Valley contains a wide variety of urban centers, large and small, located along the Hudson River and other historic transportation corridors. These cities and villages are where population, social, cultural, civic, and economic activity traditionally clustered. With their existing infrastructure, access to transit, and traditions of denser development, these communities are well positioned to accommodate the region's growth in the 21st Century. Pattern began working on the UAA profiles in 2014 thanks to a multi-year grant from the Ford Foundation. To keep the project’s scale manageable, the UAA focuses on a group of 25 higher-need urban areas in the region, selected for reasons Including changing demographics and poverty. An initial set of

profiles were issued in early 2016 in partnership with the Regional Plan Association. Now, this set of updated and expanded community profiles represent the next step in the UAA’s efforts to provide useful data to policymakers, residents, and business and community groups in the Valley’s urban areas. Current funding for these profiles comes from Empire State Development and the NYS Department of State through the Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council. About Hudson Valley Pattern for Progress Pattern is a half-century old not-for-profit policy, planning, advocacy, and research organization whose mission is to promote regional, balanced, and sustainable solutions that enhance the growth and vitality of the Hudson Valley. To learn more about Pattern and the UAA, visit our website: www.pattern-for-progress.org.

This community profile was prepared with funding provided by the New York State Department of State under Title 11 of the Environmental Protection Fund.
