Population growth at the outer edges of the New York City suburbs pushed the state to a slight population gain of 2.1%, according to Census Bureau data released Thursday.

Nearly 45% of new residents were in the six counties of Long Island and the lower Hudson River valley that surround New York City. Orange, Rockland, Dutchess and Suffolk counties, on the outer edge of the metro area, showed the strongest growth. The city of Poughkeepsie in Dutchess County grew 9.6%, almost matching the national population growth rate of 9.7%.
