Reply #71: How I got my figures

[kk897]

Hi---Here's how I determined the percentage of adults who were registered to vote in Union County. I was an English major, so check me:

Key

A: Total Population

B: Number of Minors

C: Number of Adults (A minus B)

D: Number of Registered Voters (From the County Election Results, Nov. 2)

E: Percentage of Adults Registered to Vote (C divided by D)


Using figures From OSU Website

A: 40, 909

B: 12, 213 (this is under the age of 19)

C: 28696

D: 30,200

E: 95 percent



Using US Census QuickFacts:

A: 43,750 (2003 estimate)

B: 12075 (Persons under 18 years old, percent, 2000: 27.6%)

C: 31675

D: 30,200

Using only 2000 US Census numbers:

C: 29, 618

D: 30,200
