Subject: Re: [Cz-L] Czernowitz Jewish diversity - Population growth

Some years ago, I did some research into the Jewish presence in the Bukovina
and Czernowitz. Here is some data:
1. Shortly after annexation by Austria and incorporation into the province
    of Galicia, the 1776 census recorded the Jewish population of the
    Bukowina as 2906 people.
2. By 1780 there were 1069 Jewish families living in the Bukowina.
    Estimating the number of people per family to be at least 4, we can
    assume the total number of Jewish people to have been about 4000.
    This is an Increase of over 30% in 4 years.
3. From 1816 on Jews could settle in the Bukowina only if given individual
    residence permits. Still during this period many Galician Jews settled
    in Czernowitz.
4. In 1850 the total population of Bukovina was 380,826 inhabitants,
    including 14,581 Jews (3.83% of the total population).
    In 1857, the total population was 456,920 inhabitants, an increase of
    20%, the Jewish population numbered 29,187 (6.38% of the total
    population), an increase of 100%.
5. In the years 1857-1869 the Jewish population continued to grow:
    By 1869 the total population was 511,964 an increase of 12% since 1857.
    The Jewish population was 47,754 an increase of 63% since 1857.
6. In the years 1869 - 1880, the general population continued to grow
    and the Jewish population growth, continued to outpace the general
    population growth;
   By 1880 the total population numbered 571,671, an in crease of less
   than 12% over 1869.
   The Jewish population numbered 67,418, an increase of 41% since 1869.
7. In the period 1850-1880, the total population grew by 50% while the
   Jewish population more than quadrupled.
   By 1880, on the average, one of every 11 inhabitants of the Bukowina
   was Jewish.
8. According to the census of 1880, the Jewish population lived in the
   following cities in Bukovina:
City Total Residents Jewish Residents % Jews

Chernivtsi 45,600 14,449 31.7
Suceava 10,104 3,750 37.1
Wiznitz 4,165 3,795 91.9
Siret 7,240 3,122 37.1
Kimpolung 5,534 799 14.4
Waschkoutz 4,277 781 18.3
Sadagura 4,836 3,888 80.3
Storozhinets 4,852 1,601 32.8
Gura Humorului 2,957 963 32.5
Boyany 5,227 781 14.9
Vatra Dornei 3,980 494 12.4
Unter Stanestie 2,727 690 25.3
Putila 691 80 11.5

In the following years the Jewish population of the Bukowina
Continued to grow as is evident from their number:

 In 1880, 67,418
 In 1900, 96,135
 in 1910, 102,900
 in 1914, 120,000.
