Notes

1970 Census

The Census Bureau made a number of revisions to 1970 census totals subsequent to their initial release. The 1970 total for the town of Bridgewater was originally reported as 11,829; and the town of West Bridgewater, 7,152. The totals were later revised to those shown in the list above. This was apparently done to correct an assignment error between the two towns; the collective population of the two towns is the same using either set of figures, so the county total was not affected.
