TGIF: Rain, Rain, Rain And New Work


 

The story of the week was the continuing days of wet weather.  By Friday there has been some three inches of rain.

Not a fun time to be out and about with a camera.  It has been, along with many cups of coffee, a fine time to review earlier film captures. With the aid of a computer and scanner, have been able to produce new digital images for posting.

For example:   

   Carthage, Indiana.

This is from a panoramic film camera negative. 

A few Carthage population and demographics:

 Carthage's 2021 population is 887 and is currently declining at a rate of -0.11% annually and its population has decreased by -4.31% since the most recent census, which recorded a population of 927 in 2010. Carthage reached it's highest population of 932 in 2010.

 There are 24 communities that are also named Carthage - they are located in Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois (2), Kansas (3), Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, Mississippi (2), Missouri, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Ontario, South Dakota (2), Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. 

 The population of Carthage is younger than the United States as a whole. The median age is 35.9 years, 2.0 years less than the national median age of 37.9 years. An estimated 12.50% of the population is 65 years and over, compared to 15.2% of the U.S. population. 

  Serious financial hardship is more common in Carthage than it is nationwide. The local poverty rate stands at 27.00%, while the national poverty rate is 14.1%. Across the state as a whole, 14.1% of the population lives below the poverty line.
