How many Bushongs can be projected to be living in the U.S. at the end of 2020?
The answer is c: 6000-8000 (6330 actual) The Bushong family will have begun the 2010 decade with 5320 and will end the decade with a projected 6330 members. A 1010 person gain. In ninety years in census records between 1850 and 1940, there was an average increase per decade of 19% of people counted with the last name of Bushong. The average makes it possible to fill in the gaps in information between 1950 and 2020. It tells us how many Bushongs there are.
How accurate are these projections? It is difficult to say, but the swings in Bushong population growth seen in the 1850-1940 censuses occurred over ninety years. seen here That represents a large sampling of growth levels. If anything, they are perhaps conservative, since they include the anomaly of the 2% growth during the Great Depression in the 1930s. Is the Bushong family larger or smaller than you thought? *Determining the percentage of increase per decade over nine decades: the average is 19.44%; or by another method, (throwing out the highest and lowest figures) yields 18.56%. Either way, they round to a 19% increase in Bushongs every decade. Bushong United is Copyright ©2020 by Rick Bushong any Commercial Use is Prohibited.
