A More Accurate Look at the People of the Five Towns

With the release of the first wave of actual 2010 data, Five Towns Patch re-examines census features.

Faithful readers will note that over the past few months we've brought you overview assessments of the quality of life in the Five Towns, based on results from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey, an ongoing monthly demographic study.

With last week's release of the first wave of actual bona fide 2010 census data for New York State, we thought it only appropriate to update each census story accordingly. Click on each link for the revised features, which include confirmed data of total populations, racial makeup and housing units in each of the towns.
