[PW] Re: population distribution by elevation?

[Shari Haber]

John-

My boss works with census materials quite often, and he doesn't remember 
seeing anything that looks at population by elevation. His only 
suggestion, and this would entail a lot of work, is to make a list of 
towns, etc, that are at a certain elevation, and then check the census 
figures for all places in a certain elevation range.

Maybe some other Wombat have a better idea. ;)
