Demographics & Statistics

Information on this page has been provided by Mason resident Garth Fletcher.

• Mason Population Estimates & Projections, 1930 to 2030 from NH OEP (Office of Energy & Planning)
  • Note: It is my belief that the 1990 Census contained an overcount which inflated Mason’s population, and that this error was propagated into OSP’s annual population estimates. No way to know for sure, but compare the unanticipated increase in 1990 with the matching decrease in 2000.
• Consumer Price Index (CPI-U), 1930 to 2009 from US Dep of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (plus factors to convert to 2009 dollars)
• Historical taxation in Mason, 1972 to 2011, in constant 2009 dollars
  • Note: Use with caution. The data were hand-entered from old Town Reports and may contain errors. The population figures are NH OEP estimates for all years except those ending in 0 when US Census data is available. Updated December 2011 using average CPI-U Jan to Nov 2011.
• Graph of Historical taxation in Mason, 1972 to 2011, in constant 2009 dollars - which plots separately the County, Town and School taxes
• Graph of Historical taxation in Mason, 1972 to 2011, in constant 2009 dollars - showing the County, Town and School taxes as deviations from their 1972 to 2009 averages

Note: If, as suggested above, there was an overcount in the 1990, this would significantly increase actual the $/capita in years 1990 through 1999.
