Hey,
I enjoy watching the true crime channels as well as "reality" shows. I've noticed that a lot of small towns in America have signs that show the town name, elevation above sea level and population. It seems the figures for smaller towns can be quite precise - eg Rosewood, Elevation 530 ft, Population 756. (Made up example)
Is there anyone from a small town that can answer - how often do they update those signs? Obviously the population will change as people are born or die, move in or move out, but how accurate are such population figures?
Thanks for any answers as it is one of those little facts that bug me when I can't sleep in the wee small hours!
