Every 10 years, the legislature and local governments must redraw boundaries that take into consideration population, communities of interest and state and federal constitutional requirements, among other factors.
Tewksbury’s population as determined by the most recent 2020 Federal census is 31,342, which represents an increase of 2,381, or 8.2%, from the 2010 population.
