Zero. As usual. Practically nobody trick or treats around here anymore. It's sad.

We had about 75. One street over has hundreds, maybe thousands. We sit in the front yard and my husband waves at people so they stop. We gave candy, granola bars, peanut butter crackers, popcorn, and ramen. It was funny how many little kids went for the ramen. The parents would just shrug and say, "they love noodles."

0. My kid was the only kid our whole neighborhood saw trick or treating this year.

Last year it down poured so turnout was really low. This year it was higher for our neighborhood so like 20ish. I just put a bowl of candy out front and took my kids around. Counted folk via doorbell camera.

1 group of 4 high school age girls. Walked around the neighborhood and less that 20% were participating. Saw lights and TV on inside many with lights out. Sad. :(

Candy is very expensive. Some people are having a hard time affording their own groceries and bills, so spending a couple hundred dollars on candy is just out of the question right now.

A lot of the lights on my street were off yesterday (last year was also sparse), and it’s not as much fun to trick or treat if you have to walk a couple of miles because more and more houses aren’t able to participate, I’ll bet.

I’ll also bet some parents are driving their kids to richer neighbourhoods since they’re more likely to have the goods.

e: and to be clear, my neighbourhood is not poor, but comfortably middle class. People are suffering.

We got 48 which is a pretty average number for us. The previous few years were 52, 36, and 70.

14 kids. Way less than last year. We had enough for a hundred...

Live in a small town, in one of the "richer" neighborhoods. Ended up with somewhere around 300-400 kids. Definitely down from the last few years, but went through 6 bags of 455 pieces of candy and only had 1 leftover (started giving 2-3 pieces per person, and towards the end were giving larger handfuls).

I got <20, but they were super excited for the toys, stickers, and rocks, so I'm happy 💜💜💜 There was also a group of pre-teen/early teen boys that made me happy they hadn't given up on their childhoods yet! 🎊🎉🎊

Apartment; 0

But the stores in this area (many buildings host ground-floor pedestrian-focused shops) all did trick-or-treating for kids as they wandered by. It was very sweet.

We just moved, our old neighborhood was always pretty slow, and it was raining most of the day Halloween so we weren’t really expecting that many people. We ended up running out of candy (two large assorted bags) in about 40 minutes and there were people on the street for another couple hours after that so I guess we need to stock up for next year.

0, there weren't even kids in the streets on my block.

Wife and I sat on the porch. Nothing special, we had 3 kids come by. Boy did we buy too much candy.

Weather was good. Busiest it's been since I've lived here. Ran out of candy in under an hour.

2 groups of 3 kids each, it rained pretty hard. Oh well.

0 at our house (same count as last year) and oddly no kids at the campground that me and my wife disappeared to. We expected some at the campground so we brought candy, after seeing no kids all day we decided to "reverse trick-or-treat" and walked around giving people candy. Most of the other campers brought candy too but had no one to give it to.

Between 650-700 treats given out, but I have yet to do a final tally on what’s left. Surprising given the rain in Southern California. Almost all were given out to children (a handful of parents asked for one) and few people got more than one.

Up around 100 over last year.

I had about 15 in about an hour's time. I didn't buy much candy, so it wiped me out pretty quick. I dunno how many I would have gotten.

We had 59 kids, which is slightly above average for us, but that's not surprising considering it was a Saturday night and the weather was amazing. We prep for 50-60 usually and we had just enough candy to make it through.

I was hoping for a rebound after it absolutely poured last year and we only had 13 kids.

I was out trick or treating with my kids, but my father in law kept a tally.

235ish kids.

Any memorable costumes or encounters? I got Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum twins. Very surprising.

We got maybe 20 max. About half of them didn't have a costume. I had a bunch of cheap masks that I passed out of they didn't have anything and the kids were ecstatic.

I got about 50 this year (only around 10 last year)! I decorated a lot more this year though, and started decorating much earlier (wanted to let the neighborhood know in advance that my house was participating). All my neighbors stepped it up too, which I’m sure helped with the turnout.

I haven't had any trick or treaters at all since I moved into this apartment. But I usually see kids in costumes with their parents leaving the complex to go out and about the town. Didn't even see that this year. And nobody had decorations or jack o lanterns.

I live in a 'secured' (locked) apartment building. The first year I moved in, there were kids who lived in the building that came by. Since then, nothing- so like every year since, I have some tiny Halloween candy to eat myself.

We were out trick or treating with our kids, but this is the first year we returned and someone hadn't emptied the bowl we left out. Maybe because we're at the end of our cul-de-sac and didn't have any decorations up this year.

So this year I didn't bother getting any candy because last year there was only one or two groups (and my kid did trick or treating with her mom, so I was home all night), so I figured I could just hand out cans of pop or juice boxes if the kids that did show up didn't want pop (or their parents didn't want them to have it).

I got a case of the new lemon cherry mountain dew to try earlier that day and figured I'd hand those out so the few that came would get a more interesting one, too.

Good thing I took two out of the case for my daughter and I because the rest were gone before we went out ourselves. Then gave away a bunch of the juices, too.

It was still only like 15 kids total. One of the houses around the corner from us said we were number 55 (not sure if that was groups or individuals). One place that goes all out with their decorations said it was in the hundreds for them.

Not that I'm complaining. 15 is a good number, enough that I felt like I participated but it only cost me a case of pop.

We got two.

None - I haven't had any since moving to this neighborhood in 2020. The first few years, I bought full size candybars with the hopes of making a kid's day. I always ended up eating them or giving them away to service workers, so I stopped even buying candy.
