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 wonder what happened in 2020 and 2021
20th year in a row I had zero.
It felt like there was a lot less kids this year
People dont have the money for costumes.
This is cool data to share OP, thanks for sharing 🙂
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.
Fridays can’t catch a break
I got 7 this year, which is nearly a record (I had 8 once). My full size bars were popular, but I also had several kids get excited when I first offered onions (gave away 5 – they got real candy too).
You have wall maria, rose, sina and then wall covid
I’ve been tracking the number of kids to my door since moving here in 2016. Zero. Still Zero.
One group of kids walked down the street and that was it.
2016 wasn’t messing around
This person is mildly insane but it’s pretty cool.
I’m 32 and I was still trick or treating in 2009 lol. I get no more than like 30 small children and like 10-15 teenagers to my house
I got 40 and I was thrilled. I live at the top of a hill and I gave out full size bars and special pops like baby bottle pops and push pops and ring pops. The joy on the little faces! I can’t wait for next year 🙂
What happened during 2020 and 2021? Some sort of black swan event?
We had one. Toddler with dad.
I live in a neigborhood full of.starter homes and townhomes (been here 20+ years). I call it „newlywed and nearly dead“. Lots of turn over in the homes, so you never know from one year to the next. This year just over 20.
I only got 9 kids this year, 12 or so last year. That’s what I get for staying in the same neighborhood for the past 20 years of my life. It’s also full of retirees, so it makes sense that there would be fewer kids each year. Still stinks a bit as the numbers keep going down.
so… what’s the deciding factor? politics?
in australia we’d call 10 parties a busy night at my house. i cannot describe my desire for an american halloween
I had king size, I was expecting 24-36 kids. I got 8 and ate 4 myself
I’ve lived in the same place for 9 years this October and we’ve had 3 trick or treaters 😭, all for the first time last year. This year we got one, but I was at work.
Our first year here I bought a Costco sized box hoping for lots of trick or treaters 😂
Very interesting data from which I can infere that if there is no school the next day, it is very likely to rain.
We’ve watched the numbers ebb and flow as kids in the neighborhood age out and new families with younger kids move in.
I live a mile from my grocery store and live on a fairly busy two-lane road in a mid size city. I can make the trip in about 2 mins. I walked home from work and got in my car to go to the store and it took 4 minutes for me to get out of my driveway and 20 minutes to go one mile. There must have been 3000 drunk parents trick or treating and jaywalking in the dark and wearing all black. I’ve never seen it that busy.
We’ve been going to my moms for Halloween since my son and nieces were babies (youngest of the three are now 14) and the neighbor was always busy with kids. This year it was dead and less then half the normal houses were handing out candy. Kinda sad.
Is this a recession indicator?
Last year we went through two boxes of full sized bars (60 kids), so this year we got three. Didn’t even get through one. I’m gonna open up a bodega, I guess.
You know how many there were here?
0
In Germany though.
The 2020/2021 mark makes it look like you had a boat load of kids those years, might want to go with a different design there
We had 4 whole trick or treaters all night all in the same knock too. With it being a friday i was thinking they’d be more than that and it wasn’t rainy
I was told by neighbors to buy a big bag, it rained so hard last night not a single kid showed up. More for me i guess. Likewise my nephew went around the same neighborhood and got a lot of extra candy from my neighbors who were probably also expecting high load.
This makes me sad. Halloween was one of the best traditions growing up.
I went to go do something similar but the last couple of years we haven’t had any
