Talk:Claiborne Parish, Louisiana

Population decline?
Claiborne Parish had over 32,000 people in 1930; the latest population estimate is about 16,000. In other words, the population is HALF what it was eight decades ago.

By contrast, the population of the U.S. is about 250% of what it was in 1930.

So, what happened in Claiborne parish? This isn't just notable, it is astonishing!

But aside from a reference to a single "ghost town" and a photograph of an abandoned house, the article doesn't even MENTION this, let alone explain it.

Probably the author assumed that anyone who reads this article knows all about this already, so there was no need to discuss it. That is not at all true. 68.43.62.55 (talk) 15:07, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
