Bridgeport shrinking, Milford Growing: Census
Wednesday July 9, 2008
If you've had trouble parking at the Connecticut Post (no relation) Shopping Park in Milford, maybe here's the reason.
he U.S. Census Bureau reports that Bridgeport had the state's largest drop in population last year, while Milford saw the biggest rise. The UConn-based Connecticut State Data Center, which reviewed the federal studyt, just reported this morning that 59 municipalities saw population drops last year.
Overall, Connecticut's population grew by a not so whopping one fifth of one percent (6,556 people).
Milford's increase of 532 people was the highest number, while Bridgeport's 252 loss was the largest decline, the report found.
