Iowa Population Gained Six Percent Amid City Growth
Iowa reports a state population of 2,408,002 in 1915, up 6 percent since 1910. Growth centers on Des Moines and other cities, while many rural counties lost population, with southeast Iowa counties notably shrinking. Park and Polk counties show notable changes, and the census process continues with data on farms, wages, home ownership, and education to follow.
