Democratic Advocate , October 7, 1971: Fewer People Moving into Carroll county

Fewer People Moving into Carroll county

Democratic Advocate , October 7, 1971

Fewer People Moving Here - People are still moving into Carroll county, but not as fast as they used to, according to figures released this week by the county health department.

These statistics show that the rate of migration into the county dropped more than 30 per cent between 1960 and 1969 - from 20.0 to 13.4 per 1,000 of population.

In addition to the rate drop, which would occur naturally as the total population grows, the actual number of persons moving into the county annually has also dropped - by an estimated 100 per year in the same 10-year period.

Dr. James P. Earp, a sociology professor at Western Maryland College and chairman of the county's Economic Development Commission, blamed the trend on a lack of jobs and a shortage of housing.
