Fig. 118. — Statistics of population outside incorporated places, although including 

 many suburbanites, mill workers, and miners, especially in Pennsylvania, afforded the 

 closest approximation to farm population prior to .Tunej 1922. In the 1920 census the 

 enumerators indicated for the first time persons living on farms. The resulting tabula-' 

 tion shows 31,614,000 people, or about three-fourths those living outside incorporated 

 places. However, a map of farm population showing distribution by counties, like 

 the map above, could not be prepared, as the statistics were tabulated onlv by States. 

 Pi.gure 97. showing number of farms, may be used to compare the relative den.sity of farm 

 population in different parts of the United States, since the number of people per farm 

 ranges from four to five in most States, except in the South, where there are five to six.
