COUNTY BOASTS |
18,865 PERSONS,
CENSUS SHOWS
2.714 Increase Found
Durirg Past Decade;
Largest in Section
Cherokee county now has ? popu
lation of 18.865. and is the lartrest
of t h~ five extreme Western counties
according to the preliminary figures
by the U. S Bureau In 1930 the
ponnlurtion was onlv 1R.151: thus
nnk-.tv; a aain. Hurine the past ten
years, of 2.714 persons.
Al'. of the five counties showed
?ains. Clay County had 6 401 persons
a; eomuared with 5.714 ten years aeo
Graham county Increased from 5.841
*>> 6 407: Macon county from 13.672
to 15.834: and Swain county from
1-.56S to 12.160.
Cherokee c nnty's inc:c;rse was the
ln-iest of the five, in both number
ar.d oercentaRe of erowth. The
Cherokee county crowth or 2.714 per
sons reoresen'ed a Kain of 16.8 per
cent ". Clav eained 967 of 16 pcrccnt:
Oraham county cained 566 or 9 7
percn' : Macon county cained 2.222
or IB 3 ;->ercent: and Swain county
cained 592 or 5.1 percent.
The percentage of gains in Chero
kee county v. i, much larger than the
. , :uj State of North Caro
I:i: \ a- whoK?. Nortli Carolina in
creased its population in the ten year
period by 12.4 percent while the
:.>v!h of the twenty most western
counties as a whole was only 14.8.
The gain in Cherokee county is
Iwly rural, in the vicinity of Hi
wurisee l>um the Increase was rela
fvely large despite the (act that
flooding the valleys to form the lake
forced many persons to leave
There is slightly increased concen
trations at Topton. Peachtree. and
other smaller communities Marble
Kaincd about 50 persons during the
decade.
Andrews seemed to have lost about
250 However, this has teen compen
sated for by the increased number of
residents across the river and by the
number of people who have moved to
Andrews since the census. Also,
conservative estimates give Andrews
a present i>opulation of at least 2.000
At least 100 new housing units have
been occupied since the census was
taken
In Murphy, the count of the offi
cial enumerators showed only a small
Increase in population Attacking
the figures as inaccurate, the Mur
phy Chamber of Commerce took a
second census which added about
500 names to the list. This later
count has been sent to Washington
and is expected to be accepted, in t'ne
I final tabulation.
