Where are they all coming from?

Here’s Greencastle’s population in the last few censuses.

588 – 1991

547 – 1996

570 – 2002

530 – 2006

817 – 2011

After having a steady population for many years Greencastle’s population suddenly soared from 530 in 2006 to 817 in 2011?

Why was there a sudden influx? Did they change the borders?

That’s an increase of 54% in just five years.

That’s astonishing for an old village.
