Demographics
A Portrait of Holland
Holland covers about 13 square miles in the southeastern corner of Hampden County, wrapped around the Hamilton Reservoir on the Connecticut line, and it skews older than most of the Commonwealth: about one resident in four is 65 or over. Nearly all of its homes are owner-occupied, households average 2.2 people, and about one resident in twenty 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.
