About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Nantucket County population over the last 20 plus years. It lists the population for each year, along with the year on year change in population, as well as the change in percentage terms for each year. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population change of Nantucket County across the last two decades. For example, using this dataset, we can identify if the population is declining or increasing. If there is a change, when the population peaked, or if it is still growing and has not reached its peak. We can also compare the trend with the overall trend of United States population over the same period of time.

Key observations

In 2023, the population of Nantucket County was 14,444, a 0.01% increase year-by-year from 2022. Previously, in 2022, Nantucket County population was 14,443, a decline of 0.43% compared to a population of 14,506 in 2021. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2023, population of Nantucket County increased by 4,880. In this period, the peak population was 14,506 in the year 2021. The numbers suggest that the population has already reached its peak and is showing a trend of decline. Source: U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program (PEP).

The EcoTrends project was established in 2004 by Dr. Debra Peters (Jornada Basin LTER, USDA-ARS Jornada Experimental Range) and Dr. Ariel Lugo (Luquillo LTER, USDA-FS Luquillo Experimental Forest) to support the collection and analysis of long-term ecological datasets. The project is a large synthesis effort focused on improving the accessibility and use of long-term data. At present, there are ~50 state and federally funded research sites that are participating and contributing to the EcoTrends project, including all 26 Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) sites and sites funded by the USDA Agriculture Research Service (ARS), USDA Forest Service, US Department of Energy, US Geological Survey (USGS) and numerous universities. Data from the EcoTrends project are available through an exploratory web portal (http://www.ecotrends.info). This web portal enables the continuation of data compilation and accessibility by users through an interactive web application. Ongoing data compilation is updated through both manual and automatic processing as part of the LTER Provenance Aware Synthesis Tracking Architecture (PASTA). The web portal is a collaboration between the Jornada LTER and the LTER Network Office. The following dataset from Harvard Forest (HFR) contains human population density measurements in numberPerKilometerSquared units and were aggregated to a yearly timescale.

This dataset contains the locations of Hogna carolinensis burrows in the Quaker Cemetery on Nantucket Island, MA. This population is probably near where James Emerton collected specimens in 1928/1929. (https://www.mariamitchell.org/wp-content/uploads/Publication_Johnson1930_Insects.pdf). Students from Matt Liddle's Nantucket New School 8th grade class measured and recorded these data under the guidance of Andrew Mckenna-Foster on 22 April and 13 May 2016. To calculate georeferenced locations for each burrow, we chose a convenient base point that is 38 meters at 280 degrees from the hydrant at the SE corner of the Quaker Cemetery. Using QGIS and data from MassGIS (https://www.mass.gov/orgs/massgis-bureau-of-geographic-information), we found the UTM coordinates of the hydrant and calculated the coordinates of the base point: 407230.04E 4570493.1N UTM 19N NAD83. For each burrow we collected a bearing and distance from base point to calculate a UTM coordinate. We also measured the turret height, full turret width, and interior turret width. These data do not represent all the burrows in the area but cover the main population center. We hope that this dataset acts as a reference point for follow up surveys.
