Didn't realize the Brandeis 2020 American Jewish Population Project comes with an awesome interactive map that breaks down estimate down to counties. And with that...

Share of Jews:
NYC — 44.9%
LI — 12.9%
NJ — 24.1%
Upstate — 13.4%
CT — 4.7%
* Not part of the NYC CSA
** Left out Litchfield, CT and Monroe, PA — figured that sort of evens out the addition of the extraneous counties
Very impressive numbers; every county is above the national average. Still though, about 35% of the region's Jews live in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
