The district includes all of Chenango, Cortland, Madison, and Oneida counties, and parts of Broome, Herkimer, Oswego, and Tioga counties.

From 2003 to 2013, the district included all or parts of Broome, Delaware, Dutchess, Orange, Sullivan, Tioga, Tompkins, and Ulster counties. It included the cities of Binghamton, Ithaca, Kingston, Middletown, Newburgh and Poughkeepsie. The district stretched to include parts of the Finger Lakes region, the Catskill Mountains and the Hudson Valley.

Since January 3, 2021, the district has not been represented in the House of Representatives, as there is a legal battle to see whether incumbent Anthony Brindisi or former Representative Claudia Tenney narrowly won the 2020 election. A decision by New York Supreme Court Justice Scott Delconte to allow the additional votes from Oneida County increased Claudia Tenney's lead to 122 votes, but Anthony Brindisi's campaign is challenging that decision in appeal.[3] On February 5, 2021, a state supreme court judge declared Tenney the winner.[4]

Demographics

According to the APM Research Lab's Voter Profile Tools (featuring the U.S. Census Bureau's 2019 American Community Survey), the district contained about 534,000 potential voters (citizens, age 18+). Of these, 90% are White and 10% are people of color. Immigrants make up 4% of the district's potential voters. Median income among households (with one or more potential voter) in the district is about $57,200, while 13% of households live below the poverty line. As for the educational attainment of potential voters in the district, 9% of those 25 and older have not earned a high school degree, while 24% hold a bachelor's or higher degree.
