The 1950-1990 Census Predictor for Stephen Alexander UNDERWOOD, Jr.

This right here is the reason I invented the Census Predictor. My mother, Corinne Jane (McCORMACK) UNDERWOOD, could not say with absolute certainty where they were living in 1950 when the census was taken in April. The most likely possibility is the Columbia, Boone Co., Missouri, home which they shared with landlady Mora Ashlock. Great memory of Mom’s, huh? I can’t even remember the names of the people at my condo office today!

Their son, Stephen Patrick “Pat” UNDERWOOD, would have been a newborn as he was
born in March 1950, and the official census date was April 1^st, 1950. Since there were several possibilities for their newlywed home’s location, I created the Census Predictor so that future researchers would be sure to check each location for them.

Year	State	County	City	Address	Who Was Living There? + Notes
1990	MO	Jackson	Kansas City	3414 East 105th Terrace	Steve lived with his wife, Corinne. Their younger daughter, Christy, had returned to Kansas City to go back to college and lived with them also.
1980	MO	Jackson	Kansas City	3414 East 105th Terrace	Steve and his wife, Corinne, lived with their daughter Christy. Their son Doug may have been living there as well.
1970	MO	Jackson	Kansas City	3414 East 105th Terrace	Steve and Corinne lived with their three youngest children, Greg, Doug, and Christy. Their son Pat may have been serving his country in Vietnam already. Their elder daughter, Kathy, may have been in Columbia, Missouri, at Mizzou.
1960	MO	Jackson	Kansas City	6702 East 98th Street	Steve and Corinne lived with their four eldest children: Pat, Kathy, Greg, and Doug. Christy would be born the following year.
1950	MO	Various (see below)	Various (see below)	Most of the addresses are lost in the mists of time…	Steve and Corinne lived with newborn baby Pat at one of these locations because they moved a lot that first year or so of marriage…
	MO	Boone	Columbia	On Windsor Street, Mom thought	Living with landlady Mora Ashlock
	MO	Shelby	Shelbina	Unknown	Living with landlady Bessie Pickett—Steve had his first job on a newspaper here
	MO	[Independent City]	St. Louis	Unknown	Living with landlords Buzzy and Eleanor Packanowski (a phonetic spelling, at best)
	SD	Union	Elk Point	Unknown—this home did not have a house number, Mom said. It was located by my grandfather’s service station on U.S. 71 Highway.	Visiting, but not living there: The census’ official date was April 1st. The family was visiting Mom’s parents for her father’s birthday on April 2nd. They may have been enumerated on the census in South Dakota. Like I said in the “Of Census Predictors and Custom Facts” post of 31 Jan 2019—this family could be anywhere! Ergo, the Census Predictor.
	MO	Jackson	Kansas City	Unknown	Least likely possibility: Staying for a short time with Steve’s parents and his brothers Jim and Joe in an apartment in Midtown or Westport
