Census 2000 -- Local Government Population Data
 (Last Updated -- June 29, 2004 )

The data presented in these reports are derived from the 1990 and 2000 Censuses of Population and Housing. Counts are presented for the total population and population change between the Census dates for all units of local government. 

REVISED POPULATION AND HOUSING UNIT COUNTS: The U.S. Census Bureau is issuing revisions to the total population, group quarters population, total housing units, and vacant housing units in areas within New York State as a result of the Count Question Resolution Program. A list of revisions is available and will be updated as the Census Bureau releases new revisions for New York State.  Revisions for other states are available from the U. S. Census Bureau’s web site at http://www.census.gov/prod/cen2000/notes/errata.pdf.  New York State municipalities with revisions as of 06/29/2004 are:

The Census Bureau has announced that they will not revise the data included in  American FactFinder or any report from the 2000 census.  Users of this system need to look at the documents listed above for revised data.

These files contain data for New York state counties, towns, cities and villages. The governmental units are ordered alphabetically by town/city within each county. Village summaries follow the town in which they are included. Town summaries include the population of all villages.

Files limited to county data also are available.

Some villages and cities in New York are split by county or town boundaries and the individual parts are indicated with either "(pt.)" or "(part)."

Split Villages Tables:

NOTE: The local address review programs before the census were the only review opportunity that localities had to challenge the accuracy of the Census Bureau's address lists. The Count Question Resolution program will start in June and is the only opportunity for corrections - corrections ONLY as a result of geographic misallocation. Localities can't complain that their number is too low or that the Census missed population. They can only complain that the Census Bureau put the population in the wrong place ("Some of my housing units ended up in the town next door").  More details about the Count Question Resolution program can be found in the Federal Register as a text file or a pdf file
