context_page_description: Stanton is a small village situated at the eastern end of the Weaver Hills, Staffordshire, England.
  Stanton is located 146 miles north-west of London and 18.4 miles east of Stoke-on-Trent. It has a population of 232 according to the 2001 Census. The landscape around the village is mainly pastureland bounded by dry stone walls.
context_section_description: The first census to mention Stanton was the census of 1841.  The population was recorded as 392. The census was conducted every 10 years until 1961 (apart from 1941 due to World War II). Since 1961 the census changed to list information within some towns by wards, not by parish, hence the lack of data between 1961 and 2001. In 2001 a parish headcount was conducted in Stanton which placed the population at 232.
  The population has fluctuated over the years, and decreased from its all-time high in 1861 by 46%. This is similar to in other rural villages, as many villagers have migrated to cities/large towns searching for work and better jobs. The increase of residents by 14.9% from 1961 to 2001 is an indicator of counter urbanization and peoples desire to live/retire in the 'rural idyll'.
  The male:female ratio is split almost perfectly, with the village having 118 males and 114 females, of whom live in 90 households.
