168,400 Residences Listed in Survey

There are 168400 homes in Marion County, 97 per cent occupied. This is the official govarnment census count released yesterday on figures taken last year. Occupied units totaled 463,500, and of these 56 per cent were owner - occupied, 41 per cent rented, The government, in prying into the living habits of metropolitan Indianapolis, found that houses are getting smaller with fewer rooms. ; The gain in home ownership came, as it had to, from new home construction and from the sale of rental homes which owners felt it was no longer profitable to keep under the freeze.

Report 63 Per Cent Gain

The shift from renters to owners showed the biggest gain. It went up 63 per cent, while rental homes went up ony 16 per cent. The census showed the mar-| ket tight. Only 1 per cent of the

“available,” and real estate brokers added that 95 per cent of these reach the market through The Times. { The average number of rooms was 4.7, down from 4.9 ten years ago. In the small and large range, about 3 per cent were oneroom homes, and 30 per cent contained six rooms or more.

Like to Live Alone

Most Hoosiers like to live alone.’ Fifty-five per cent were single dwellings, unattached to busi-| nesses or other dwellings.

Data to Fix Share of ! Gas, Auto Tax Totals

MEN'S CLOTHING —THIRD FLOOR iin

By Joe Allison

Hundreds of Indiana cities and! towns are trying to speed the) U. 8. Census Bureau to release of-| ficlal figures of the 1950 count. | The figures will determine how | much money they will receive as! their share of state gasoline tax| and auto license revenue. Fast growing communities’ will get] more, while those which lag in| population will be pinched with a cut. Indianapolis, despite a 10.8 per| cent rise in population in the last] decade, doesn’t look for a boost in funds. If anything, it probably | will take a slight trimming. { That's because other incorporated communities have grown | more than the capital city. This is not official, but merely ‘an esti-| mate based on population trends announced by the Census Bureau.

. State Population Up

Indiana’s state population rose about 14.5 per cent from 1940 to 1950. Indianapolis’ share will be based on its rise compared to other urban populations. That's the figure—total urban ® popula-

are waiting for. Census officials have pointed out that the trend in the past decade was to move away from the city, but not far into the country. Since most of these fast-| growing suburbs are {incorpor-| ated, and therefore urban, estimates are that Indianapolis has lagzen behind the total urban e. Cities and towns divide 15 per cent of all state gasoline tax and

Present census totals, all still unofficial, do not include population totals of Indiana's incorporated areas with less than 1000! population. It is therefore impossible to calculate what share] of the urban total any individual] city contains. | In 1940, Indiana's total population was 3,427,796, and the urban population 2,211,317. Present planning calls for the next gas tax split to be made on the basis of 1940 figures. Officials of the state auditor's office de-| clared no adjustments will be made should official new popula-

are prepared.
