Population changes and a birthday have nothing to do with one another. Just clearing that up — don’t want you to think the birthday boy has anything to do with population growth. 🙂
I found something I thought was interesting today and I wanted to share it with you guys. If you’re not from or near Jackson County, Indiana, you won’t care one bit about it. Accept my apologies and invitation to return tomorrow.
I’m not a huge fan of statistics for the most part, but the population increases/decreases within Jackson County, Indiana’s cities and towns has me scratching my head. I was of the opinion that people were leaving smaller Crothersville and Medora — and migrating to even bigger Seymour and Brownstown. I was wrong! Check out the stats below:
Sources: US Census Bureau
| Cities & Towns | Population in 2014 | Population in 2008 |
| Brownstown | 2,956 | 2,981 |
| Crothersville | 1,599 | 1,508 |
| Medora | 699 | 538 |
| Seymour | 19,094 | 19,223 |
Crothersville and Medora GREW in population, while Seymour and Brownstown DECLINED in population. I’m wondering if that’s good news for the house I have for sale at 204 E Bard in Crothersville.
And finally… happy birthday to my favorite brother on the planet — Scott McKain! He always hates it when I post dorky photos of him as a kid on social media. Only because I respect his birthday wishes did I refrain from that this year. Instead, I simply posted this:
