📊 Where New York’s population is changing the most
New York’s changing population is a popular subject in political circles.
Believe it or not, the state’s population actually grew last year. But we’re still projected to lose two seats in Congress after the 2030 census if we don’t grow faster.
The U.S. Census Bureau released new data Thursday showing the population change of cities, towns and villages in New York over the year that ended July 1. The data provides a snapshot into where the state is growing — and where it’s not.
New York City and Yonkers ranked first and second in population growth over that year, with an increase of 87,184 in the five boroughs and 2,118 in the Westchester County city.
But there’s also a finding in the data that you might not expect. It wasn’t one of the state’s other major cities that ranked third in population growth.
It was a small village in Orange County that’s seen its population rise by more than 10,000 since 2020.
