Census Table

The following table of census results was obtained by summing up all the people listed as living in a location for the census year indicated at the top of the column. The problem is that the areas changed with each census year. The area number in column one are used to group locations so sudden changes in numbers can be explained. The table is not in alphabetical order but sorted by area and earliest to latest census year, for this reason. Use Ctrl-f to find a location, quickly.
