According to last week’s release of Census 2010 results, no Vermont county was spared the population growth slowdown that occurred in the state during the past 10 years.
In fact, three counties (Rutland, Windsor, and Essex) lost population in the most recent decade.
Chittenden County’s population grew by 7% during 2000 and 2010, more than any other county in the state. The fastest growing town in the state was South Burlington with population growth of 20% between 2000 and 2010.
In addition to total population counts, this release of Census 2010 data includes population counts by race and ethnicity and housing unit counts by occupancy status. Data is accessible through the Vermont State Data Center and the U.S. Census Bureau web site.
