1920 Census Figures Show Loss
of 1886 In Ten Years-One
Per Cent Decrease-43,7O8 In
Chittenden County

Washington, Sept. 5-The census bureau
announced tonight that the 1920 census
of Vermont showed the State has popu-
lation of 352,421. which. is a decrease Of
1885 from the census of 1910. or a loss of
one per cent.
In the decade ending with 1910 the
population of Vermont was 355,956, rank
ing 1t as And State in the Union In the
first census in 1880 Vermont ranked as
18th State. Vermont's increase in popu-
ation in 1910 was 12,315, or SO per cent
over 1900 In area, Vermont ranked as
i2nd State in 1910, with 9,14 square miles
Of land making its population per square
mile 800 inhabitants.
In the early censuses there was very
rapid growth in Vermont During the
20 years from 1870 to 1910 the absolute in
CREASE I'm population was 132,470, while
during the century from 1910 to 1910 tho
increase was only l3so6l. Between 1910
and 1850 the increase was 96.255 or AZ
per cent: from 1850 to 1910 the increase
was Al .S36 or 1873 per cent. The increase
in those six decades was not evenly die
tributed, as in three OF them the absolute
increase was less than 1900 persons, and
the relative increase for each of those
three decades was less than one per cent.
Comparison of the rates Of increase for
the State with those tor the United States
shows that tho increase for the whole
country for the decade ending with 1910
| was almost six times the rate of increase
for the State; and that at every census
from 1910 to 1910 the rate of growth for tho
state has been much lower than that for
