flushing. Figure IV. 3.2 is a map of the Bay. 



The population of Rhode Island is mainly clustered about the shores 

 of Narragansett Bay. A special census in 1965 enumerated the total 

 at 892,709 of which some 69 percent resided in towns and cities 

 touching the bay. The long term migration of the population appears 

 in a gradual movement from the upper bay towns to the lower bay 

 towns. In the total bay area, there are 69,160 areas of developed 

 land and 115,039 areas of land with development potential. 

 Table IV. 3.6 shows the distribution of developed land.
