Sutton Weaver - Population

Population

The first recorded census had occurred in 1881 with the population of Sutton Weaver being 337. A census was then carried out every ten years up until 1961. Information and statistics were available on total population, population change, gender and area throughout the time the census were being carried out. However, there were no records for the census in 1941 due to the Second World War. There is no great change in population from 1881 to 1931, after which time 1951 and 1961 there was a large increase in the population up to a total of 733, almost double the first record in 1881. Some of this may have been from the result of the post–World War II baby boom (1946-1964). When the census starts up again in 2001, the population is back down to 457, which was around the same 80 years before. This is mainly due to the boundary changes in the Parish.

Famous quotes containing the word population:

    O for a man who is a man, and, as my neighbor says, has a bone in his back which you cannot pass your hand through! Our statistics are at fault: the population has been returned too large. How many men are there to a square thousand miles in this country? Hardly one.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    How much atonement is enough? The bombing must be allowed as at least part-payment: those of our young people who are concerned about the moral problem posed by the Allied air offensive should at least consider the moral problem that would have been posed if the German civilian population had not suffered at all.
    Clive James (b. 1939)

    The population question is the real riddle of the sphinx, to which no political Oedipus has as yet found the answer. In view of the ravages of the terrible monster over-multiplication, all other riddle sink into insignificance.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
