Question about demographics[edit]

From the article:

As of the census of 2010, there were 38 people, 22 households, and 13 families residing in the city. . .

2.6% of residents were under the age of 18; 0% were between the ages of 18 and 24; 2.6% were from 25 to 44; 50.1% were from 45 to 64; and 44.7% were 65 years of age or older.

How can you have 50.1% of 38? If there were 19 people between 45 and 64, that would be exactly 50%, not 50.1%. If there were 20 people, that would be 52.6%. 108.246.205.134 (talk) 06:15, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. The original statistics were entered by robotic software for all the U.S. town and city articles for the entire encyclopedia. In many cases, this makes the numbers harder to read, in my opinion, and the level of precision makes little sense. With such a small population as we have here, the defects show up more starkly. I've rounded the numbers now, and I hope they make more sense. Because of the rounding, totals sometimes equal 101 percent or 99 percent instead of 100 percent, but I think I added enough "about"s that this is not really a problem. If you see any way to improve this further, please do, or post a further note here. Finetooth (talk) 17:08, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
