A 1-371. General note.

The principal source of population data is the Decennial Census of

Population, a housc-by-house enumeration made by the Bureau of the

Census. In accordance with a Constitutional provision for a decennial canvass of the population, the first census enumeration was

in 1790. The primary reason for the Census of Population,

as set forth in the Constitution, is to provide a basis for the apportionment of Members of the House of Representatives atnong the several

States. Until 1902, the census organization was temporary. It was

assembled before each decennial census and disbanded after the work 

was finished. In 1902, the Bureau of the Census was as

a permanent agency of the Government, charged with responsibility

for the decennial census and for compiling statistics on other subjects 

as needed. Currently this Bureau provides population data

based on surveys and estimates in addition t o malting the comprehensive decennial census enumeration.

I n accordance with census practice dating back to 1790, each

person is counted as an inhabitant of his usual place of residence or 

usual place of abode, that the place where he lives sleeps

of the time. This is not the same as his legal residence, voting residence, or domicile, although, in the vast majority

of cases, the use of these different bases of classification produce

identical results. Indians in Indian Territory or on reservations

were not included in the population count until 1890, and in earlier

censuses large tracts of unorganized and sparsely settled territory

were not covered by enumerators. and were territories through and were first included in the United States in

1960 Census. Many tables in this chapter show two sets of 1960

data, one the conterminous United States and one for United

States including Alaska and Hawaii.

Through 1930, data presented are based on complete counts.

Many of the data shown from subsequent censuses are based on

sample tabulations (ranging from percent t o 26 percent), as

indicated in footnotes to the tables.

Several tables present data the Current Populntion Survey, 

conducted monthly by the Bureau of the Census since 1947.

Originally, the Survey covered a representative sample of approximately 21,000 interviewed households in areas throughout the United 

States. This sample was increased to approximately 35,000 in May

1966, and t o approximately 50,000 in January 1967.

Exact agreement is not to he expected among the various samples,

between them and the complete census count, but sample

data may be used with confidence where large are involved,

and may be assumed to indicate patterns and where

small numbers are involved. Detailed statements regarding

sampling errors are given in the original sources. 

The

data for these censuses were adjusted by county and race, and the

revised figures were published in 1870 census. Revised figures 

by sex for the United population by race for 1790-1840 were

published in the 1910 census. Official revisions by age have not been

made, and thus the 1790-1840 age data in this chapter for most racesex groups add to totals which differ slightly from the revised figures 

for race-sex groups.

The Bureau of the Census has always been concerned about the

degree of completeness of enumeration in the decennial censuses,

although public interest in census coverage and statistical techniques

for estimating coverage were quite limited prior t o 1960. Discussions

of coverage in earlier censuses were limited mostly to qualitative

statements.

Many errors appear in the census publications of 1790-1840.

The quantitative of census coverage can be done a t

the individual and aggregate Ievels. At the individual level, 

approaches include surveys) and

record checks matching of census records and birth records).

the aggregate level, the include demographic analysis

the use of on births, deaths, and migration, and of life

tables, expected sex ratios, etc.) and the use of aggregated data from

administrative records the enrollment in “Medicare”

with the census count of the aged population). 

I n 1950, the postenumeration survey was thought to he a satisfactory method of determining net census underenumeration. The

number missed in the 1950 census was estimated at about 2.1 million,

or 1.4 percent with corresponding estimates of percent for 1940

and 0.7 percent for 1930. However, demographers now generally 

believe chat postenumeration surveys tend to understate census

omissions persons in a census have an above-average

probability of being missed in a postenumeration survey. Evaluations of census coverage now rely heavily on detnographic analysis.

An analysis of coverage in conjunction the 1970

census shows the following estimates and revisions net census

underenumeration: for 5.3 or 2.5 percent; for 6.1

million, 2.7 percent; for 1950, 5.1 million, or 3.3 percent. Analyses 

of census coverage are subject revision on the basis of additional

information and research.

While earlier censuses no doubt were characterized by

enumeration, amounts generally are difficult t o determine. One

technique is the comparison of rates of change with respect t o consistency and reasonableness. On this basis, it is believed figures

for South show unreasonably low rates of increase for the decade

1860-1870 and abnormally high rates for 1870-1880. The

differences are so great that it eppears evident that the

1870 in this area was seriously incomplete, undoubteclly a result

of the unsettled conditions of the Reconstruction period. For the

portion of the States outside the South, the rate of increase

for about the same as for 1870-1880. Therefore, the 

number enumerated in 1870 for the South wns revised upward. For a detailed discussion of the adjustment, see Census of

pp. xi-xii.

The estimates are as of July 1, and thus figures for the resident

population for census years differ from decennial census populations.

Estimates prior to 1900 are based on linear interpolation between

decennial censuses. Estimates for the 1900-1919 period are based

on interpolation techniques applied to census age data, Estimates

for subsequent years are based on census data and information on

births, deaths, and international migration. For a discussion of the

methodology, see Bureau of the Census, Current Population

series P-25, No. 311, pp. 1-3.

Estimates subsequent to the 1960 census are preliminary and are

subject to revision on the basis of final estimates of births, deaths, 

and international migration for the 1960-1970 decade. These population estimates are controlled to 1970 census results, which are final,

and thus subsequent revisions in the estimates will

be small.

The Bureau of the Census has employed several definitions of

urban population. According to the definition adopted for use in

the 1970 census, the urban population comprises all persons living 

in urbanized areas (see text for series A 82-90) and in places 2,500

inhabitants or more outside urbanized areas. More specifically, the

urban population consists of all persons living in (a) places of 2,500

or more incorporated as cities, villages, boroughs (except 

Alaska), and towns (except in the New England States, New York, 

and Wisconsin), but excluding those persons living in the rural

portions of extended cities; (b) unincorporated places of inhabitants or more: and (c) other territory, incorporated or unincorporated, included in urbanized areas.

In censuses prior to 1950, the urban population comprised all

persons living in incorporated places of 2,500 or more and areas

(usually minor civil divisions) classified as urban under special rules

relating to population size and density. The most important component of the urban territory in a n y definition is the group of incorporated places having 2,500 inhabitants or more. A definition 

of urban territory restricted to such places, however, would exclude

a number of large and densely settled areas merely because they are

not considered “incorporated places.” Prior to 1950, an effort was

made to avoid some of the more obvious omissions by inclusion of

selected areas which were classified as urban under rules.

Even with these rules, however, many large and closely built-up

areas were excluded from the urban territory, 

To improve its measure of the urban population, the Bureau of the

Census adopted, in 1950, the concept of the urbanized area and delineated, in advance of enumeration, boundaries for unincorporated

places. With the adoption of the urbanized area and unincorporated

place concepts for the 1950 census, the urban population was defined

as all persons residing in urbanized areas and, outside these areas, 

in all places incorporated or Unincorporated, which had 2,500 inhabitants or more. With the following two exceptions, the 1950

definition of urban was continued substantially unchanged to 1960

and 1970. In 1960 (but not in certain towns in the New

England States, townships in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and

counties elsewhere were designated as urban. However, most of the

population of these “special rule” areas would have been classified as

urban in any event because they were residents of an urbanized area

or an unincorporated place of 2,500 or more.

In all urban and rural definitions, the population not classified

as urban constitutes the rural population. 

The first official publication of figures formally presenting the

urban population was made following the Census of 1870 in the 

Statistical Atlas of the United Slates. The population of cities and

towns of 8,000 inhabitants or more was presented as the “urban

population.” In the reports of the 1880, 1890, and 1900 censuses,

the urban population was variously defined as the population living

in places of 4,000 inhabitants or more, or 8,000 inhabitants or more.

The first publication in which the population of places having 2,500

inhabitants or more was officially designated as urban was the SuppleAnalysis of the Twelfth Census published in 1906.

This definition, with minor modifications, was used in later censuses

up t o and including 1940. For purposes of comparison, the for

1950 were also tabulated in accordance with this urban

A time series on the urban population since 1790 according: to the 

1940 definition of urban was published in the 1940 census. These

data are shown in series A 43-56 and 57-72. Data on the urban 

population b y selected characteristics are not always available on

this basis, and thus the total urban populations shown in tables

may differ slightly.

The rural population is subdivided into rural farm and rural nonfarm components. In 1960 and 1970,the farm population was defined

as persons living on places of 10 or more acres from which sales of

farm products amounted to $50 or more in the preceding calendar 

year or on places of fewer than 10 acres from which sales of farm

products amounted to $250 or more in the preceding year. In 1950,

the farm population was defined as all persons living on farms and 

depended on the respondent’s conception of farm (or ranch) with the

exception that persons living on what might have been considered 

farmland were classified as nonfarm if they paid cash rent for their

homes and yards only. In 1930 and 1940, the farm population comprised all persons living on farms and depended primarily upon the

interviewer’s conception of what was meant by the word farm. In

1920, the farm population comprised all persons living on farms and

those farm laborers (and their families) who, while not living on a

farm, lived in rural, unincorporated territory. Farms were defined

in 1920 (asin the census of agriculture) to include all tracts of 3 acres 

or more used for agricultural purposes and smaller tracts which produced as much as $250 worth of farm products in 1919 or required

for their agricultural operations the continuous services of at least

one person.

The first systematic attempt to define the metropolitan population

of the United States was presented in the 1910 census in which Metropolitan Districts were defined for cities of 200,000 or more. Each

Metropolitan District included contiguous minor civil divisions which 

met certain rules of proximity and population density. The Metropolitan District concept was used with changes in definition up

through the 1940 census, when Metropolitan Districts were defined

for cities of 50,000 or more. Metropolitan Districts were seldom

cross-tabulated with census data on social and economic characteristics and thus were of limited usefulness.

I n 1950, Metropolitan Districts were replaced in census reports by

Standard Metropolitan Areas (see text for series A and

Urbanized Areas. Urbanized with minor changes in definition,

were delineated in the 1950, 1960, and 1970 censuses. In general,

an Urbanized Area is defined as a city of 50,000 or more (or twin

cities meeting this criterion) and surrounding closely settled areas,

including incorporated places and unincorporated territory. The

urban population can be divided into the Urbanized Area population

and the Other Urban population. The Urbanized Area population 

can be further divided into Central City and Urban Fringe

components.

The classification of the population by race reflects common usage

rather than an attempt to define biological stock. As a result, the

white and Negro populations usually have not been divided into

racial subgroups (although the white population has been classified

by ethnic origin), but American Indians and some Asian groups

Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, etc.) have typically been identified with country of origin.

Through 1960, the classification of the population by race was

usually obtained by the enumerator’s observation. Persons of

mixed white and other parentage were usually classified with the

other race. A person of mixed parentage other than white was

usually classified by the race of his father, except that mixtures of

Negro and Indian were classified as Negro unless the Indian stock

was clearly predominant or unless the individual was accepted in

the community in which he resided as an Indian.

The category Indian included unmixed American Indians together with persons who were of mixed white and Indian Ancestry

if they were enrolled on an Indian reservation or agency roll. Persons

who were part Indian were included as Indian they were

fourth or more Indian, or if they were regarded Indians in the

community in which they resided.

In the 1960 census, data on race were collected by a combination

of self-classification, direct interview, and observation by the

enumerator; the classification rules were essentially the same as in

1950.

In the 1970 census, data on race were obtained primarily through

self-classification. In a change from earlier censuses, a person of

mixed white and other parentage who was in doubt as to his

fication was classified according to the race of his father. It is believed

that self-identification of race may lead to a somewhat higher proportion of the population being classed in the “Other races” category

than does observation by the enumerator.

In the 1930 census, persons of Mexican origin were included with

“Other races”; however, the tables in this volume have been revised

t o include Mexicans in the white population.

In the 1970 census, the edit and review of questionnaires were

not completed when the complete-count data were processed. As 

a result, some information which pertained nationality or

was accepted as identifying race. For example, some persons who 

classified themselves in the race item as Mexican or Spanish American

were thus included in the “Other races” population, but should have

been included in the white population. In the tabulation of sample

data, this error was corrected. The result in the case of 20-percent

sample data was that the population of “Other races” was reduced

from 2,882,662 to 2,555,872 (1,270,625 males and 1,285,247 females),

or by 826,790, which is roughly the amount added to the white

population in the sample tabulations. 

The Census of 1860 was the first in which Indians were distinguished

from other classes in the population. Prior t o 1890, enumeration of

3
A 105-159 POPULATION

Indians was limited to Indians living in the general population of the

various States; Indians in Indian Territory and on Indian reservations were excluded. I n a special effort was made to secure a

complete enumeration of persons with any perceptible amount of

Indian This probably resulted in the enumeration as

Indian of a considerable number of persons who would have been

reported as white in earlier censuses, There were no special efforts 

1920, and the returns showed a much smaller number of Indians

than in 1910. Again in 1930, emphasis was placed on securing a complete count of Indians, with the result that the returns probably

overstated the decennial increase in the number of Indians.

The native born is comprised of persons born in the

United States, or in outlying areas of the United States (see series

A 9-22) and persons born elsewhere to United citizens. The

remainder of the population is foreign born. Through 1950, persons

for whom place of birth was not reported were included in the native

population. In 1960 and 1970, such persons were classified as native

unless their census report contradictory information, such 

as an entry of a language spoken prior to coming t o the United

States.

Thus, persons

born in the Philippines (which was granted independence in 1946)

were classified native born in 1940 and foreign born in 1950.

The outlying areas are as defined a t each census.

The procedures for determining the nativity of parents are generally

the same as those for determining the nativity of the individual himself. The native-born population can be subdivided into native born 

of native (American) parents, native born of mixed parentage (one

American parent and one foreign-born parent), and native born of

foreign parentage (both parents foreign born).

The figures for total native-born population in series A

and the figures for foreign-born population in series A 105-118 each

year are from the same census count or sample. For

these are complete-count data which add to the totals in series A

91-104. For 1950-1970, these are sample data which do agree

with the totals in A

complete-count data which add to the totals in A 135-142. For

these are sample data which add to the totals in A

only when all figures are from the same tabulation of the same sample.

Marital status (single, married, widowed, and divorced) represents

the status of persons at the time of the enumeration. Persons classi- fied as “married” include those who have been married only once, 

remarried after having been widowed or divorced, separated, and

living in common-law marriages. Persons reported as never married

or with annulled marriages are classified as single. Since i t is probable that some divorced persons are reported as single, married, or

widowed, the census figures may understate somewhat the actual

number of divorced persons who have not remarried.

Area measurements of the States and former territories rest on three

periods of measurement. The first period is for the 1880 Census of

Population when, under Gannett, Census Geographer, “the

foundation for accurate and detailed area measurement in the United

States” was laid (Proudfoot, Measurement Area, 1946,

p. 27). The second period is for the 1940 census when, under

Batschelet and Proudfoot, a basic remeasurcment of the areas was 

accomplished, which still remains the basis for subsequent

ments. The third period was during the 1960’s when remeasurements

of land and water areas based on the 1940 total or gross areas were

undertaken with the use of recent maps and greatly improved measurement techniques.

Remeasurements of land and water areas between and since those

periods occurred but they were largely in terms of adjusting

the earlier figures because of relatively minor boundary changes or

because of land and water changes resulting mainly from the construction of known dams and reservoirs.

According to the 1940 definitions of land and water areas (used also 

in the ponds, lakes, or similar areas were counted as inland

water if their areas were 40 acres or more; streams and canals had

t o be or more in width to be counted. All other areas were

tabulated as land with the exception of “water other than inland

water” such as the Great Lakes, coastal waters, bays, etc. The

definitions were based on maps, not on inspection of the surface of the

earth. Accordingly, features such as new reservoirs which were not

shown in the maps used in the measurement work were reported as

land rather than water.

The land areas shown for the United States, which are consistent

with data available for States and territories, differ slightly from the

figures shown in series A The latter figures reflect adjustments

made only a t the national level in conjunction with remeasurements

made in 1940.

Standard Metropolitan Areas were first defined in conjunction with the 1950 census. The concept was continued with 

some changes in definition in the 1960 and 1970 censuses, although

the title was changed t o Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas

(SMSA’s). (For a discussion of other definitions of the metropolitan

population, see text for series A 82-90).

Except in the New England States, a standard metropolitan

statistical area is a county or group of contiguous counties which

contains a t least one city of 50,000 inhabitants or more, or “twin

cities” with a combined population of at least In addition to

the county, or counties, containing such a city or cities, contiguous

counties are included in an SMSA if, according to certain criteria, 

they are socially and economically integrated with the central county. 

In the New England States, SMSA’s consist of towns and cities instead

of counties. Each SMSA must include a t least one central city,

and the complete title of an SMSA identifies the central city or cities.

The population of SMSA’s can be divided into the portions living 

Inside Central Cities and Outside Central Cities. For a detailed 

description of the official criteria for defining SMSA’s in the 1970

census, see Bureau of the Budget (now U S . Office of Management

and Budget), Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas: 1967. 

Urbanized Areas, as discussed in the text for series A 82-90,

and SMSA’s differ considerably. An Urbanized Area represents the

physical or continuously built-up urban area without regard for 

political boundaries. SMSA’s conform to political boundaries. It

is thus possible t o assemble historical series for SMSA’s as defined

a t a specified time; however, SMSA’s include substantial rural population, especially when the current definition is used to present information for an earlier date. In 1970, 12 percent of the SMSA

population was rural, and 30 percent of the rural population of the

United States was included in See Census of Population: 1970, I, part 1,section 1, 1-206 to 1-212. For a discussion of the criteria for defining SMSA‘s and the inconsistencies in

the application of these criteria, see Ira Rosenwaike, “A Critical

Examination of the Designation of Standard Metropolitan Statistical

Areas,” Social Forces, 48, No. 3 (March pp. 322-333.

According to the 1970 Census Bureau definition, a household 

consists of all the persons who occupy a housing unit. A house, 

an apartment or other group of rooms, or a single is regarded

as a housing unit when it is occupied or intended for occupancy as

separate living quarters; that is, when the occupants do not live and

eat with any other persons in the structure and there is either (1)

direct access from the outside or through a common hall or (2) a

kitchen or cooking equipment for the exclusive use of the occupants.

A household includes the related family members and all the unrelated 

persons, if any, such as lodgers, foster children, wards, or employees

who share the housing unit. A person living alone in a housing; unit,

or a group of unrelated persons sharing a housing unit as partners,

is also counted as a household.

Households classified as having a head include those where

the head of the household is a married man whose wife lives with him

and all other households with a male designated as head. Female

household heads include women who are not married or not living

with their husbands and who are designated as household heads.

The count of households excludes group quarters (referred to as 

“quasi-households” in the previous edition of Historical

which are living arrangements for institutional inmates, regardless 

of the number of inmates, or for other groups containing 5 or more

persons unrelated t o the person in charge.

The figures for number of households are not strictly comparable 

from year t o year. In general, the definitions of household for 1790, 

1900, 1930, 1940, 1950, 1960, and 1970 are similar. Very minor

differences result from the fact that in 1950, 1960, and 1970, housing

units with 5 or more lodgers were excluded from the count of households, whereas in 1930 and 1940, housing units with 11 lodgers or

more were excluded, and in 1790 and in 1900, no precise definition

of the maximum allowable number of lodgers was made. The definition of household for 1850-1890, 1910, and 1920 differs slightly from 

that given above. For these years, no distinction was made between 

households and group quarters (quasi-households), and thus the 

numbers include both households and group quarters.

In 1950-1970, the number of households was equal, by definition,

t o the number of occupied housing units enumerated for housing

statistics. In 1940, the definition of household was not completely

the same as that of occupied housing units. In that year there were

95,000 more households than occupied housing units.

Average size figures were computed by dividing the total population

(the total free population for 1790, and 1860) by the number of

household heads. The number of household heads for 

1910, and 1920 also includes the heads of group quarters

households). Since these are such a small fraction of the total number 

of household heads, the population per household is only slightly

affected by a change in definition for these years. 

Prior

t o 1940 the concept of “family” was basically synonymous with the

present concept of “household” wherein a family comprised the

head of a household and all other members of the household related

t o the head. Under this definition, a head of a household living

alone was counted as a family but a mutually related group of

or resident employees was not counted as a family. 

The term “family,” as shown here, refers t o a group of two or more

persons related by blood, marriage, or adoption and residing together

in a household. A primary family consists of the head of a household 

and all other persons in the household related to the head. A

secondary family comprises two or more persons such as guests, 

lodgers, or resident employees and their relatives, living in a household and related to each other.

A subfamily is a married couple with or without children, or one

parent with one or more unmarried children under 18 years old, living

in a household and related to, but not including, the head the

household or his wife. Members of a subfamily are also of

the primary family with whom they live. The number of subfamilies,

therefore, is not included in the number of families.

married couple is defined as a husband and his wife living together in the same household, with or without children and other

relatives.

Unrelated individuals refers to persons (other than inmates of

institutions) who are not living with any relatives. A primary individual is a household head living alone or with nonrelatives only. A 

secondary individual in a household is a person such as a guest, lodger,

or resident employee who is not related t o any other person in the

household. Persons in group quarters, except inmates of institutions,

are classified as secondary individuals.

Data for 1900-1946 represent estimates of the number of married

women with their spouses in their own households, and the number

of household heads in the remaining population. These estimates

were based on available census and survey data and on additional

information on construction activity, vacancy rates, rates,

divorce rates, economic indexes, etc. the figures are shown

as of a given date, they should be regarded as an approximation of

the annual average number of households.

T h e estimates by residence were made by subdividing the total 

into farm and nonfarm components, using estimates of the average

size of farm households in conjunction with annual estimates of the

farm population (see joint report of Bureau of the Census and Bureau

of Agricultural Economics, Estimates of the Farm Population: 1910 to

1950, series Census-BAE, No. Since the annual changes in

the number of households which are implied in these series may be

subject to substantial sampling variability, caution should be used

in the interpretation of small changes.

The farm household series for 1910-1946 relates t o the total farm

population, whereas that for 1947-1970 relates to the rural-farm

population. There were 88,000 urban-farm households in 1940 and

In the 1970 census, “inmates of institutions” were defined as

persons under care or custody in institutions at the time of enumeration, regardless of their length of stay in that place and regardless of

the number of people in that place. Statistics shown in this table

for 1960 are based on similar criteria with the exception of “length of

stay” as a criterion for defining inmates in 1960. Differences in the

classification and definition of inmates between the 1950 and 1960

censuses are minimal and, thus, the estimates for both dates are 

comparable. However, several major differences exist between the

estimates of inmates for 1940 and those for later years: In 1940 the

coverage of inmates was for the population 14 years old and over

rather than for all ages; inmates in tuberculosis hospitals were excluded from the 1940 inmate count; and a more detailed classification

of inmates in homes for the aged and dependent was designed following

the 1940 census which enabled enumerators in subsequent censuses

to the field coverage in this area, particularly with respect 

t o such places as commercial boarding homes for the aged, and rest,

convalescent, and nursing homes.

Although data on types of institutions are generally comparable 

for each year shown, it should be noted that the use of progressively

refined techniques to identify types of institutions in each census

since 1940 has resulted in more inclusive and definitive classification

of these types.

- Represents zero. I n 1970, relatively sparsely settled portions of certain incorporated places were classified as rural. The size to which these places were assigned, however, was 

based on the population the places within their boundaries.

I n 1930 each pair of the following was counted as a single place: Bluefield, Va., and

Bluefield, W. Va.; Bristol, Tenn., and Bristol, Va.; Delmar, and Delmar, Md.; 

Harrison Ohio, and West Harrison Ind.; Junction City, Ark. and Junction City, La.; and Texarlcana, Texhoma, Okla., Texhoma, Tex.; and

Union Ind., and Union City, Ohio. In all other years they were counted as

separate incorporated places. Erroneously excludes Williamsburgh Village, New York, from the count of urban

places. See A 57-72, footnote 3.
