The Population of Calderdale

This Foldout shows the population for Britain and for various communities in the Calder Valley

The top row shows the year. The name of the community is shown down the left-hand column. The population for that community in that year can be read off where the row and the column intersect

The figures come from a number of different sources, mainly the national census returns

The figures for 1764 are taken from Watson and are based upon the number of families at an estimated 5 members to a family

As the table suggests, comparisons are complicated by the precise nature of the boundary and the area for which the population is being counted
