State of the State – A Statistical Profile of Rhode Island’s Cities and Towns

From Burrillville to Block Island, from Woonsocket to Westerly, recent demographic and

employment trends have impacted the lives of all Rhode Islanders. Incorporating information

collected by the United States Department of Commerce and the Rhode Island Department of

Labor and Training, State of the State depicts demographic changes and recent employment

trends that have impacted our local economies over the last twenty years.

Population diversity based on age, sex, race, and ethnicity, as well as educational attainment,

labor force statistics, and English language proficiency of local residents,

is encapsulated in statistical profiles for each of Rhode Island’s thirty-nine communities.

An overview of local private sector employment by industry sector is also provided

on a city and town basis.

state. The annual average unemployment rate for the year was 4.9 percent and the state’s population stood at 1,063,096.

Rhode Island’s economic momentum began to change the following year, and the state entered into a recessionary period

months earlier than the official National Recession. By 2009, the height of the recession in Rhode Island, the number of

private jobs averaged 387,800, the annual average unemployment rate was 11.0 percent, and the state’s population had

shrank to 1,053,646 residents.

Since the end of the recession, Rhode Island has been gradually recovering. As of 2017, private job levels averaged

418,000, an increase of 30,200 (+7.8%) from the 2009 average and the unemployment rate is down 6.5 percentage points

to 4.5 percent. The state’s population has yet to regain residents lost during the recession, as the count stood at 1,059,639

in 2017, down 3,457 (-0.3%) from 2006. On a positive note, the population in 2017 increased over 2016 by 2,073 (+0.2%)

residents, the sixth consecutive over-the-year

increase in population.
