I’ve been using Excel to keep track of how many kids show up each year at Halloween.
We’ve done full-size bars every year and added glow sticks a couple years ago.

I bought one of those handheld tally counters to see how many we had this year. We ran out of candy after 533 trick-or-treaters.

Personally, id remove the massive grey bar and just keep it empty. After all the amount of kids was 0.

Clear that people are having less children.

We ran out of candy last year. So this year we bought two big bags from Costco. Didn’t even get through one bag this time. There were definitely fewer kids out in our neighborhood, and weather wasn’t a factor.

Do you know why there was such a huge drop from 2009-2010?

My wife and I anecdotally have noticed that year over year we see fewer and fewer. It just seems like something kids generally are no longer doing much.

Where are you located? I’m in Ontario and everyone shut down just before the World Series game, we only had 2 kids after 8 pm

This is awesome! My parents got 380 kids this year.. would have been cool to see this data each year if they did something similar.

I’m from the east coast where Halloween is a big deal but moved to the midwest plains and “trunk or treat” is the thing here. I buy a small bag of candy each year, I think I’ve gotten three visitors in 4 years. Its truly sad

Same here. I ended up putting a lot of leftover candy in a bowl on the steps and was glad to see someone took it all.

We have been in our house for 9 Halloweens now and have never had one
Our front door is in an unlit alley right next to a major road so you know

Gotta compare to baseline kid population in the neighborhood as it changes over time.
We are in a relatively new development. Kidmageddon.

Didn’t count but I’d guess 150+
Was a pretty constant stream of 2-5 kids every few minutes between 630-830

Pre COVID my uncle would do a massive Halloween display with an ambulance, professional audio system, lights, etc. and would get about 450 kids. I believe in 2022 and 2023 the count was around 50.

Definitely less kids and I live in the burbs. Time to return the bags I had to Costco.
