| 2000 vs. 2017 Population Growth and Change Rockland County 2000 vs. 2017 Net Percent Change = 15.79% Rank = #1 Chautauqua County 2000 vs. 2017 Net Percent Change = -7.22% Rank = #62 Seneca County 2000 vs. 2017 Net Percent Change = 2.32% Rank = #24 With a spotlight on Seneca County, the chart above displays the distribution of the net percent change of population across New York's 62 counties over the period 2000-2017. Those counties whose population growth registered above the statewide average over this period realized an increase in their statewide share of population. Likewise, those counties whose population growth registered below the statewide average experienced a decline in their relative share of population statewide. Statewide Snippets:- Over 2000-2017 population grew in twenty-eight New York counties while declining in thirty-four.
