Although the United States Census Bureau released its latest population and steets figures this week, the figures are not always up to date. While it may seem counterintuitive, the numbers will closely resemble the population maps of neighboring cities. And because the census is tied to residential addresses, the data is not always completely accurate. Nevertheless, these numbers can help you determine the population and economic trends of Dunkirk.

The city is located on the southeastern shore of Lake Erie. The area was historically home to several large steel companies. During the 1950s, Dunkirk was a manufacturing hub.
