Among cities and towns, several of the state's smaller municipalities showed the largest percent growth between 2000 and 2010, reflecting a wave of annexations and in-town residential development that started before 2000 and continued through the housing boom of the early part of the decade. Townsend grew by almost 500%, to 2,049 persons. Cheswold grew to 1,380 persons, an increase of more than 340%. Middletown grew by more than 200% to reach a population of 18,871. Clayton grew to 2,918 persons, an increase of almost 130%. And Millville doubled in size, reaching a population of 544.

Census Bureau Releases 3-Year ACS Estimates
The US Census Bureau has released 3-year estimates for 2007 through 2009 from the American Community Survey (ACS). These data, which represent the average characteristics of an area over the 3-year period of time, are only published for geographic areas with populations of 20,000 or more. For Delaware, they are only available for the state, the three counties, several of the larger cities and a handful of other geographic areas. They are based on a smaller sample size than the recently released 2005-2009 5-year estimates, but can be considered to be more current than the 5-year estimates. The ACS data sets are available on the American FactFinder. The ACS web site offersdetailed guidance on the uses of the different types of estimates available through the American Community Survey.
