Hartsdale, along with Westchester County, has seen a noticeable increase in family migrants coming from New York City in recent years. With the rise of remote work after the pandemic, areas like Hartsdale and Scarsdale have gained attention as places where one can find homes with yards while still being within commuting distance to Manhattan, and this trend does not seem to have completely reversed.

The overall population of Westchester County remains stable at around 1 million, but there is significant movement within the county. According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, there has been a steady net influx from New York City to Westchester, while outflows to other states are also observed, resulting in a relatively modest overall increase. However, areas like Hartsdale, which have good school districts, tend to benefit more from this net influx.

In terms of industrial base, Westchester has a strong presence in the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors. Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, headquartered in Tarrytown, has been continuously expanding its research facilities in recent years, and major corporations like Mastercard in Purchase and IBM in Armonk maintain their infrastructure in the area. Healthcare jobs centered around Westchester Medical Center also form a significant part of local employment.

The unemployment rate hovers around the high 3% to low 4% range according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which is similar to or slightly lower than the New York state average. Income levels are among the highest in the New York metropolitan area, and wage growth has been gradually continuing over the past few years.

In terms of infrastructure, improvements to the Metro-North Railroad's signaling system and ongoing redevelopment in downtown White Plains are consistently underway. Development projects that mix commercial and residential facilities along the I-287 corridor are also ongoing, suggesting that commuting conditions and living infrastructure may improve in the long term.

For Korean households, Hartsdale is already a region where the school district premium is significantly reflected in prices, making entry costs not low. However, the demand for actual residence considering both accessibility to New York City and school districts is a factor that is unlikely to disappear easily, so approaching it from the perspective of long-term residence and asset preservation rather than rental income may be more realistic.

As a result, Hartsdale and the Westchester area are expected to operate on a market driven by steady and gradual demand rather than explosive population growth. Rather than expecting rapid increases, it seems reasonable to observe whether the structural strengths of school districts and accessibility will be maintained in ten years.
