Historical U.S. Census Totals for Newport County, Rhode Island

This article shows U.S. Census totals for Newport County, Rhode Island, broken down by municipality, from 1900 to 2000.

Notes

1900 Census

The Census Bureau appears to have made revisions to 1900 census totals subsequent to their initial release for two municipalities in Newport County, although no explicit statement to this effect has been found in any census report. The 1900 Census reports show the total for the city of Newport as 22,034; and for the town of Jamestown, 1,498. However, subsequent census materials invariably use the totals shown in the list above. This revision was apparently made to correct an assignment error between these municipalities; the collective population of the two is the same using either set of figures, so the county total was not affected.

1970 Census

The Census Bureau made a number of revisions to 1970 census totals subsequent to their initial release. The 1970 total for Newport County was originally reported as 94,559; and for the town of Middletown, 29,621. The totals were later revised to those shown in the list above.
