  7. The primary source for demographic data for Plan Norwalk is the U.S. Census Bureau, ESRI Business Analyst, CBRE Market Analysis Since 1980, Norwalk has increased its population by 276.5% from 2,376 to 8,945 Norwalk has been the fastest growing city in Warren County during the same time period Local population projections
