The U.S. Census Bureau released population statistics Thursday showing Virginia’s population has increased in the recent years, largely as a result of growth in Northern Virginia.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau website, the 2013 state population is 8,260,405, about 1 percent higher than last year. Population rose 3.2 percent in Virginia overall from 2010 to 2013, while Fairfax County population rose 4.5 percent in the same time. Fairfax County population accounts for about 13.7 percent of total Virginia population.
