Why two different populations?

The ACS 5-year estimate of 1,701 is higher than the 1,292 recorded by the 2020 decennial census. Both are shown because both are real: the census is an actual count taken once a decade, while the ACS is a rolling survey whose margin of error is wide for a town this size. Treat the census figure as the official population and the ACS figures as the best available picture of income, housing and work.
