Talk:Boys Town, Nebraska

Mindlessly parroted statistics

How stupid is it to robotically transcribe numbers off some computerized result thus:

As of the census[2] of 2010, there were 745 people, 6 households, and 2 families residing in the village. The population density was 564.4 inhabitants per square mile (217.9/km2). There were 15 housing units at an average density of 11.4 per square mile (4.4/km2). The racial makeup of the village was 66.0% White, 26.2% African American, 3.5% Native American, 0.4% Asian, 0.1% Pacific Islander, 1.6% from other races, and 2.1% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 10.1% of the population.

There were 6 households of which 16.7% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 33.3% were married couples living together, and 66.7% were non-families. 66.7% of all households were made up of individuals and 16.7% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 3.17 and the average family size was 3.00.

When founded ? ? ?

So, when was Boys Town founded?

I've come across four different years --- two here in Wikipedia (1917 and 1921) and two in a Boys Town mailer I got celebrating Boys Town's 100th anniversary (which is either in 2019 or 2020).

Can one of these dates be verified? 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 14:30, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
