Census shows Vermont towns lose and gain by 1960s shifts
A preliminary Census Bureau report cited by Extension sociologist Enoch Tompkins shows Vermont urban areas largely grew in the 1960s while many rural towns shed residents. St George led gains at 340 percent, several towns around Burlington rose, and Bellows Falls fell 11 percent. Newport and St Albans City dropped about 9 percent. Urban South Burlington rose 45 percent, while rural Averill township tumbled 69 percent. The Northeast Kingdom counties Essex Orleans Caledonia contain most declines.
