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.
