By the Numbers, Part 1

Here are a few numbers I dug up from my databases yesterday afternoon while looking for some good stuff:

1,459: Percentage growth of the Nevada population from 1950 to 2006.

-9: Percentage change in the West Virginia population in the same period.

0: Of the other 48 states, the number that also experienced a net population loss in that period.

74: Percentage of voting-age population in Cabell County that was registered to vote for the 2006 general election.

109: The same number for Lincoln County, W.Va.
