Gimme Some Space

According to the 2000 US Census, Whitehead Township had 930 souls living in 543 dwellings on 22 square miles of land. That comes to 42 persons per square mile, only slightly less than the Alleghany County average of 45. Bummer.

Here's what the population density looks like for all the townships:

Gap Civil - 84

Glade Creek - 49

Whitehead - 42

Cherry Lane - 40

Piney Creek - 28

Prathers Creek - 24

Cranberry - 17

Hmmm ... Cranberry is looking mighty attractive.
