Nassau is "Changing"

[Chris_Wendt]

Newsday recently (this month and last) published two miniscule statistical blurbs about Long Island's shifting population.
Within each article, there were county-specific statistics and elsewhere on the Newsday dot com website were links to U.S. Census official data and estimates.

I tabulated the relevant data for Nassau County and am reporting, here, the relevant changes for the 3-year period between 2010 and 2013 for Nassau County:

• 2013 Population...............1,352,146
• 2010 Population...............1,339,533
• 3-Yr Population Change.........12,613 (population increased)
• Domestic Migration..............-18,280 (people moving out of Nassau for other U.S. locations)
• International Migration..........31,851 (people moving into Nassau from outside of the United States)
• Net International Migration....13,571 (more people arrived in Nassau from outside the U.S. than left Nassau for any other U.S. location)
• Other Population Change...........-958 (Net mortality; births minus deaths)

Official census data was used where incongruences were found in Newsday's reported data.
Unfortunately, population estimates are not issued for Wantagh Census Designated Place (CDP) so I was unable to localize this trend specifically to Wantagh..

In the immortal words of the prophet, Bob Dylan: "The times, (and the Island)...

...they are a-changin'!"

Reporting from the steadfast bastion of demography, the hamlet of Wantagh, Nassau County, Long Island, New York,

Yours truly,
