I think it's gone up a bit in the last 15 years or so. I remember when I was at school we learnt that the population of Accy was around 28.0000. They may have misled us of course, but if not, that could mean the area is prospering and people from outside are coming in. I think in the 1800s the population was around 40.000 and it dropped as mills began to close.
