St. Lawrence County gained 13 people during the past ten years, according to preliminary information provided by the U.S. Census Bureau.

Despite expectations that the number of people would decrease, figures released today by the Census Bureau indicates St. Lawrence County’s population stood at 111,944 in 2010, compared to 111,931 people in 2000.

Just two weeks ago, the bureau released estimates for 2010, which predicted a loss of 1,791 people in St. Lawrence County in the past decade. The bureau provides updated population figures each year, but they are estimates, not actual counts.

Statewide, the Census reported New York City had 8,175,133 people in 2010; Buffalo, 261,310; Rochester, 210,565; Yonkers, 195,976; and Syracuse, 145,170.

New York City grew by 2.1 percent since the 2000 Census. Buffalo decreased by 10.7 percent, Rochester decreased by 4.2 percent, Yonkers decreased by 0.1 percent, and Syracuse decreased by 1.5 percent.

Details are to be released on Friday, the Census Bureau said.
