The identical group can be used for comparison by looking at one age range for 1980 and then increasing that range by six years for 1986. U. S. census takers going door-to-door in 1980 counted 1,051 children 12 years and younger. Six years later, school enumerators - who were also supposed to have gone door-to-door, counted just 930 young people between the ages of six and 18. That’s a decline of 12 percent for that segment of the population, and comes at a time when the provisional estimate from the University of Virginia’s Taylor Murphy Institute shows no change in the county’s population as a whole between 1980 and 1985 Superintendent Robert Estabrook announced the schools census totals at the school board’s meeting on August 12. According to the superintendent’s summary, enumerators working by districts throughout the county reported 34 children one year old and younger, 44 two-year-olds, 30 three year-olds, 52 four-year-olds, 60 five-yearolds, 59 sis-year-olds, 67 seven-year-olds, 60 eight-year-olds, 72 nine-year-olds, 56 ten-year-olds, 66 eleven-year-olds, 80 twelve- year-olds, 72 thirteen-year-olds, 69 fourteen-year-olds, 80 fifteen-year-olds, 91 sixteen-year-olds, 73 seventeen-year-olds, 85 eighteen-year-olds and 72 nineteenyear-olds.
The 1,222 total reached by school enumerators represents a 12 percent drop from the 1,398 counted in the 1983 school census.
