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:
“The broad masses of a population are more amenable to the appeal of rhetoric than to any other force.”
—Adolf Hitler (1889–1945)
“America is like one of those old-fashioned six-cylinder truck engines that can be missing two sparkplugs and have a broken flywheel and have a crankshaft that’s 5000 millimeters off fitting properly, and two bad ball-bearings, and still runs. We’re in that kind of situation. We can have substantial parts of the population committing suicide, and still run and look fairly good.”
—Thomas McGuane (b. 1939)
“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)
