1. Will there come a time when "newcomers" outnumber cardcarrying natives?

I live in a rural area that has seen a steady influx of development over the last 30 years. There came a point when us old-timers realized we were completely and permanently outnumbered. The nature of the place had changed. The funny thing is, a lot of the oldtimers have moved lock stock and barrel to Vermont.

I don't know anything about Vermont's demographics. Will the natives stay firmly in control?
