[Closed] Population increase in a village, how do i work out the %age ?

375 divided by 1% of 30000

1.25% increase

(376/30000) * 100 = 1.25%

Cheers Perch.

Lets see if the MiL gets it... i worked it out roughly as 1.2% but didn't know the right way to do it.

i think she'll like that one more Gobchul 🙂 thanks.

New number-old number = increase (30375-30000)=375 which you already had.

Divide that by the original number & multiply by 100 to turn it into %

i.e (375/30000)*100 = 1.25% increase.

Say a village had a population in 2016 of 30,000

That's a big village!

They are essentially the same method, it's just gob wrote it correctly.

That’s a big village!

Tell her it's a town, not a village.

I used to live in a place that claimed to be the biggest village in England, and that was only about 15000 at the time, 19000 now, though others talk about these things by area or parishes. 30000, is that big enough for 375 more not to be a big deal, maybe an extra 80 schoolkids and a longer queue to see the GP?

Tell her it’s a town, not a village.

A large town at that.

I thought I lived in the 'big village'. We had nearly 700 people living in Killin.

Ardtalnaig village on the other hand all fitted on a minibus....

It is not a village if it has a population of 30,000 in my opinion.

Kidlington in Oxfordshire used to be either the second or largest village in England and had a population of about 15,000. Pretty sure if it was second then the largest would not be twice it's size.

375 divided by 1% of 30000

1.25% increase

Well that's an odd way to put it.

But as above anywhere with 30,000 people living there is not a village, I would say medium sized town.I live in a town with a population of around 46k, its a big town.

Well that’s an odd way to put it.

Is it? It made perfect sense to me when i wrote it and still does reading it back to myself.

Having said that.......

I am wired up differently from ordinary men. It's both a gift and a curse.
