Yes, this is copied from the Internet because I couldn't have typed all of it.
However as a some awesome genealogist I know where and how to research.
As of the census of 2000, there were 17,289 people, 7,159 households, and 5,211 families residing in the county.
The population density was 54 people per square mile (21/km²).
There were 10,001 housing units at an average density of 31 per square mile (12/km²).
The racial makeup of the county was 97.94% White, 0.58% Black or African American, 0.25% Native American, 0.23% Asian, 0.02% Pacific Islander, 0.24% from other races, and 0.74% from two or more races. 0.88% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race.
There were 7,159 households out of which 24.80% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 62.90% were married couples living together, 7.10% had a female householder with no husband present, and 27.20% were non-families. 24.20% of all households were made up of individuals and 12.00% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.35 and the average family size was 2.77.
In the county the population was spread out with 20.00% under the age of 18, 6.60% from 18 to 24, 23.60% from 25 to 44, 28.20% from 45 to 64, and 21.60% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 45 years. For every 100 females there were 96.60 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 94.60 males.
The median income for a household in the county was $31,893, and the median income for a family was $39,776. Males had a median income of $29,127 versus $20,871 for females. The per capita income for the county was $18,845. About 9.30% of families and 12.50% of the population were below the poverty line, including 13.10% of those under age 18 and 15.90% of those age 65 or over.
Now you are scratching your head and asking yourself "SO WHAT?"
This information, thought somewhat outdated is very useful in determining facts about our county.
Facts regarding voting ages and employment amongst other things. How many people are actually employed and do show up for work on a daily basis.
Besides ya'll need to get something educational from bcity. Since according to the local paper and a few no-count lurkers looking for fodder to post elsewhere, all of us are troublemakers and such.
And you never know when you might be on Union County Jeopardy.
