Center OF Population.

Population in the United States is so
distributed that if all people were balanced
on a rigid plane the pivotal point would
be 80 miles northeast of Linton. Greene
county, Indiana. Hence, this spot has been
officially designated by the Census Bureau
as the center of population. 1t will retain
that distinction until new center OF
human gravity is located following the
1910 census.
Since the first census was taken in 1880
the trend of growth has been steadily
westward From 1910 to 1920 the center
of population moved less than 10 miles.
and in the last decade the shift was only
% miles westward. Migration to the West
has been slower since 1890. and it is i'm
probable that it will ever again sweep the
center of population more than 30 miles
westward in a single decade. as it did
from 1850 to 1860. But the movement
has not yet been stemmed, and will doubt
less continue, even though at a slower
pace, until the great open spaces OF the
West are more fully occupied.
The most interesting observation made
by the Census Bureau in announcing the
new hub of the United States is that dur
ing the last 40 years the shift of people
North to South has been negligible. Be-
ginning at point % miles east OF baltl-
more in 1870. this American center OF
gravity has moved $50 miles westward
But it has chung with remarkable tenacity
to the thirty ninth parallel of latitude. The
point farthest North was reached in l79O
and the point farthest South in 1880, but
there is difference of only 2l.4 miles be-
tween the two.
During the last decade the population
center shifted 7.6 miles southwark, due
largely to the phenomenal growth of south
ern California and Texas. The present loca-
ton of the center is directly west OF Wash
ington. From its very beginning the Capital
City has been on the approximate dividing
line of population between the North anc
South. Even though the actual center Of
population moves constantly westward
Washington will continue to be the center
of eastern America. where most of thu
people live.
