Since it appears that population estimates vary from site to site, it would be interesting to see what sites people are using. I used this one http://www.city-data.com/zips/76065.html

I used the one posted by Lynyrd on the first page of the thread. It had the same number as the site you posted.

I thought only law enforcement had access to our LTC data?

You are correct. We are talking about the totals by county or zip code. They cannot release data that identifies specific LTC holders.

Our percentage should be rising soon. Just heard from a friend that is taking his LTC course this weekend, the instructor is expecting in excess of 100 people in the class. Seems like a lot for one class considering there were only two of us in the class when I took mine.

Thanks... I was hoping I missed something that was more readily available.
Was just going to do a quick exercise... if the data was easy to get..

Not something I'm ready to invest time in tracking down.

Thanks!

Yeah, I tried to find it also and decided not worth doing the info request.

Roy, you may have to submit an information request to get that data. It appears that's what the Express News did.

With that said, we have 10.2% of our residents with an LTC.

if the average household has 2 kids then that means that 1 in 5 adults you come across should be LTC.

If accurate that's really incredible. I bet that your zip has very low crime, too.

You are correct. We have a very low crime rate. Violent crime is minimal.

So why is everyone so sceered that they have to carry guns???

We are just a bunch of chickens.

Very glad to see my zip code shaded in the dark maroon with 2809.
