The Valley News in West Lebanon, NH, recently reported on 2020 U.S. Census data showing an outward spread of the population in the New Hampshire-Vermont Upper Valley area. Ken Johnson, Senior Demographer at the Carsey School, noted in an interview in the Valley News that the population growth in the region "shouldn't be surprising given how given how Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and Dartmouth College are magnets for employees, many of them young and from elsewhere."
