Ipswich MA
Population

In talking about the size of Ipswich, the town government website's history of our town says only that The growth and development of Ipswich as a larger town  - never a suburb - came only after 1945 with the great outward expansion of population from Boston. Serious history buffs want to know about the town's population over the last century in a little more detail.

A reference librarian supplied most of these detailed figures
(recent information was obtained from online U.S. decennial census results).

Ipswich's population was as follows
From the Annual Report of the Vital Statistics...published by the State of Massachusetts:
1905----5,205
1910----5,777
1915----6,272
From the Commonwealth's Decennial Census:
1935----6,217
1945----6,610
1955----7,841
1965----9,955
From book of archived Census of Population:
1960----8,544
1970---10,750
1980---11,158
1990---11,873
From online data of recent U.S. Census:
2000---12,987
2010---13,175

Presenting these figures as a chart may make them easier to follow:
