Halloween Stats

“Trick or treaters” traffic on any given Halloween night should be seen as a measure of a community vitality in particular and of the national economy in general.

Since I have no great things to measure, I've been keeping track of these numbers since 2006 and I'm glad to report a significant uptick since last year after hitting an all-years low in 2009.

What does this mean? More kids, more young family, more healthy growth, a slow but steady economic recovery, Vail Resort coming to town? All are very good reasons for a recovering Halloween Traffic Index that bodes well for Park City's future!
