A Portrait of Dartmouth
Dartmouth runs from the Padanaram waterfront on Apponagansett Bay north past working farmland to the UMass Dartmouth campus, which is a wider range of lives in one town than most places in the state hold. Three quarters of its homes are owner-occupied, households average 2.4 people, and about one resident in ten was born outside the United States. Figures below are from the U.S. Census Bureau and the Secretary of the Commonwealth. Follow the source links for the latest.
