Pennsylvania’s Population Not Growing So Fast As It Used T FACTORS COMBINE TO SLOW RATE OF GROWTH (This is the second of a series of articles prepared for The Post by F. A. Pitkin, director, Pennsylvania State Planning Board.) To know modern Pennsylvania one must understand the significance of population figures. In 1930 the population of Pennsylvania was 9,631,350. This was more than twice the population of New Jersey and Delaware combined, and nearly as large as the populations of Ohio, West Virginia and Maryland put together. inhabitants. Pennsylvania’s population is not growing nearly so fast as it once did. Half a century ago the growth was rapid. The 1890 census revealed 1228 people in the State for every 1000 in 1880. This was a gain of mearly one- fourth. The increases shown by recent cencuses have been much smaller. Be- tween 1920 and 1930 there was a gain of only 105 (or a little over one-tenth) ni every thousand ‘population, and present indications are that when the 1940 census is taken it will show an increase over 1930 of only 30 or 40 in each thousand, Unless this tendency changes Penn- sylvania’s population soon will begin to grow smaller instead of larger. If this happens it will be something new in the State’s history, and will have a decided effect on the lives of all of us. It will mean that there will be con- tinually fewer people, but more adults and old peo- ple. This will make changes necessary children . and young Among all the states only New York had a larger number of in the school system, in the building of houses, in planning for work, for play, and for every part of living. There are two reasons why Penn- sylvania’s population is not growing so fast as it formerly did: fewer babies are being born and more people are moving out of the State than into it. In 1910 there were 26.5 babies born for every thousand Pennsylvanians but in 1980 there were only 19.6. Ex- perts in population trends predict that Pennsylvania’s ‘birth rate will fall even lower than this within the next 25 years. Probably the population would already have ceased to show even this slight increase if it were not that the average length of life is greater than it was formerly. The number of deaths among infants and young people has been les- sened so much by modern health methods and medical knowledge that the death rate in the state is only two. thirds as much now as it was 25 years ALL- YEAR All-Purpo se Weatherproof PREPARE NOW FOR WINTER LET US CHECK YOUR CAR Cooling System Alcohol Prestone Zerone Fill With Water Safety Grip 2.
