To find how much greater the combined population of Ripley and West Union is than the population of Georgetown, we first need to calculate the combined population of Ripley and West Union.

  1. Population of Ripley: 1,750
  2. Population of West Union: 3,241

Now add the populations of Ripley and West Union:

\[ 1,750 + 3,241 = 4,991 \]

Next, we need to find out how much greater this combined population is than the population of Georgetown.

  1. Population of Georgetown: 4,331

Now, subtract the population of Georgetown from the combined population of Ripley and West Union:

\[ 4,991 - 4,331 = 660 \]

So, the combined population of Ripley and West Union is 660 residents greater than the population of Georgetown.

Final Answer: 660 residents
