This document is meant to provide an overview of the New York State veteran population, with an emphasis on health. The data reported come from various sources, including federal agencies and veteran advocacy organizations. Unless otherwise noted, the statistics in this report refer to 2018 data. Since the most recent New York State Health Foundation (NYSHealth) snapshot of veterans and health in New York State, which relied primarily on 2015 data, the veteran population in New York State has declined. New York’s veterans are also younger and more diverse. These demographic trends are projected to continue.
