Comments

* In 1970, all 78 black residents (51 males and 27 females) were inmates of an institution. There was not a single black household. All but two females were between 5 and 24.
The same is true for the 1960 census – no black but two nonwhite households (inhabited by 12 inhabitants listed as “Other”).
