Editing Parahuman (section)

==Population==
It is implied that there are a great many capes in the world, but that they still form only a small percentage of the population. [[Brockton Bay]] has roughly seventy parahumans that have been introduced and described in the course of the story, implying that capes comprise less than one percent of the population.

It is also mentioned that there is about 1 parahuman for every 8,000 in urban areas.<ref>Insurmountable.  Too much work for one woman to handle.  She delegated where she could, but too much of the responsibility was hers and hers alone.  The humans outnumbered parahumans by eight-thousand to one, give or take, in urban areas.  Outside of the more densely populated areas, it dropped to a more manageable one to twenty-six-thousand ratio.  But here in Brockton Bay, many had evacuated.  Few places in the world, if any, sported the imbalanced proportion that Brockton Bay now featured.  What was it now?  One parahuman to every two thousand people?  One parahuman to every five hundred people?  Each parahuman represented their respective interests.  She represented everyone else’s.  The people without powers. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/09/01/interlude-13/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 13]]</ref>
