1930 Census Results
Teton County has 168 more than in 1920
Preliminary returns give county 6,038; 1920 returned 5,870
Inclusion of new areas in, however partially responsible

Despite substantial losses in population in western portions of the county, which for a time made it appear that 1920 would not show as many persons in the county as 1920, complete preliminary census returns for 1920 show a gain of 168 over 1920, or an increase of a little over 2.8 percent. These returns were received at the Acantha office Friday from Charles Davidson, supervisor of the second district, Montana, at Great Falls.

The official count for 1920 was 5,870, whereas the preliminary for 1920 [1930 sic] gives 6,038. However, Mr. Davidson points out that Teton county now is slightly larger than it was in 1920, due to the inclusion in 1921 of some area in the eastern part of the county which formerly belonged in Chouteau county. The addition has a bearing on the increase of population noted for 1930.

The following table shows the population of the county according to school districts, and the number of farms enumerated in each district:
