Prince Georges County
has an estimated $4,000
more persons than Mont
gomery County, Montgom-
cry has 1000 more school
children this year.
The population figures are
from the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission while the enrolment
totals are from the separate
school boards.
Prince Georges County tradi-
tionally has had a larger popu-
lation than Montgomery Coun-
ty, but Montgomery may be
closing the gap.
Planning Commission experts
said that the paradox of smaller
population but bigger school
enrolment is explained by the
kinds of housing in the two
counties.

Than Prince Georges
County Has Fe,oer People
But More School Kids

Prince Georges has almost
twice as many apartments as
Montgomery County, they said,
and hence, families have fewer
children per dwelling unit be-
cause ~ of less space, and
(2), restrictions against chill
dren by apartment managers.
On the other hand, they said,
the relatively higher proportion
of houses in Montgomery Coun-
ty results in more children per
dwelling unit. Maybe fewer
people but more kids.
Were the proportion of Prince
Georges apartments to Mont
gomery County houses to re-
main the same and all other
factors remain equal, it is math-
ematically certain therefore that
Montgomery County would wind
up the more populous of the
two counties.
