Cuming and Thurston County census data

Jon Bailey provided the latest census data for towns in Cuming and Thurston Counties. Bancroft lost population from 2000-2010, but has the same population as in 1990. Bancroft fared way better than the estimated population. Rosalie dropped below 1990 number.

Now is the time to move forward with improved housing in the school district. We need to maintain or increase our populations.
