Assuming the general population grew steadily from 1857 to 1921, and
taking into account that Jews started to emigrate in much larger numbers during the early 1900's (there
was a huge drop in their percentage
of the population after WWI,
from 55% to 34%, and therefore, they accounted for a large drop in the overall population as well), one can extrapolate that, at its high point,
from 1905-1914, there were over 2,000 persons living in Radzilow, with
Jews making up over 1,000 of those. Take note that these figures
do not include surrounding farms and villages right outside of the town
itself (see note for 1885). |
