Poughkeepsie's Population Growth

By: Samantha Miller

Recently in the “Poughkeepsie Journal” there was an article written by Larry Hertz about the growth in the region. According to the latest estimates from the U.S Census Bureau, the Poughkeepsie metro area was rated amongst the highest increase in population between the years of 2000-2009. Between these years, it is stated that the Poughkeepsie-Newburgh region grew about 9 percent. This increase was the largest increase in the state. The Dutchess County population grew by 4.8 percent over that period to 293,562.
