Show Slowest Growth Rate in
Their History.
Washington, Sept. 28. Four
states, the 1920 populations of which
were announced by the census bur
eau, showed gradual declines in their
respective relative increases over
preceding decades.
Illinois has a population of C
485,098; an increase of 846,507, or
15.0 per cent over 1910. The state
is expected to retain its rank as the
third most populous state, although
its 1920 population shows the lowest
relative increase in the state's his
tory. Of the gain, 047,916 was In
C-ook county, containing Chicago.
The population of this county is
3.053,017, or 47.2 per cent of that
of the whole state.
Montana, with a population of
547,593, showed an increase of 171.
540, or 45.6 per cent over 1910. This
was the state's largest numerical in
crease, but its percentage increase
was the lowest, tailing short of its
previous lowest relative increase of
1910 by 8.9. The state ranked 40th
in 1910, but has passed New Hamp
shire in the 1920 rank. .
New Mexico's 1920 population was
announced as 360,247. an Increase of
22.946. or 10.1 per cent ever 1910.
The figures show the state to have
made the lowest numerical increase
since 1SS0, when the growth was
27.691, and the second lowest rela
tive increase in history. New Mex
ico ranked as forty-fourth state in
1910. but passed Vermont in this
census.
Ivouisiana. with a population of
1,797,798. increased 141.410. or 8.5
per cent over 1910. The state show
