STATISTICAL FACTS CONCERNING KALAMAZOO (Furnished by the Chamber of Commerce)
POPULATION
The Federal census of 1920 credited Kalamazoo with a population of 48,858; but that census only included the residents within the corporation limits.
The canvass for this Directory was extended to include a large area of suburban territory, the resi- dents of which are, to all intents and purposes ex- cept governmental, allied with Kalamazoo in social and business interest, and constitute, with the par- ent city, Greater Kalamazoo.
The total number of names in the present City Directory is 23, 582. In this number is included no firm name, church, school, institution nor any- thing else which does not stand for the name of an individual. Using the multiple of 212-to allow for the names of women and children not represented in its columns-we have 58,957 as the estimated population for the territory covered by the Directory canvass.
