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:
“We in the West do not refrain from childbirth because we are concerned about the population explosion or because we feel we cannot afford children, but because we do not like children.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“[Madness] is the jail we could all end up in. And we know it. And watch our step. For a lifetime. We behave. A fantastic and entire system of social control, by the threat of example as effective over the general population as detention centers in dictatorships, the image of the madhouse floats through every mind for the course of its lifetime.”
—Kate Millett (b. 1934)
“The paid wealth which hundreds in the community acquire in trade, or by the incessant expansions of our population and arts, enchants the eyes of all the rest; the luck of one is the hope of thousands, and the bribe acts like the neighborhood of a gold mine to impoverish the farm, the school, the church, the house, and the very body and feature of man.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
