The Census Bureau also has released population estimates for counties covering the period from April 2020 to July 2023. In the Rochester-Finger Lakes region, Ontario continues to stand out as the only county with a growing population—but it added just nine residents. Monroe County’s population declined by 10,948 residents, or 1.4 percent. The other counties also recorded negative growth rates: Livingston, -1.1 percent; Orleans, -3.1 percent; Wayne, -0.5 percent; and Yates, -1.2 percent. Of these counties, only Wayne and Yates reduced their losses compared with April 1, 2020, to July 1, 2022. 

New York as a whole saw a 3.1 percent drop in population in the 2020-23 period, compared with 1 percent growth nationwide.
