URBAN AND RURAL
ENSUS FIGURES
Preliminary Statement Of The Figures
Compiled BY The Census Bureau
For The Thirteenth Census.

Washington. d. c., Aug. 12.-The
proportion of the population living in
urban and rural territory, as shown by
I the latest census figures, has been de-
termined by the census bureau and a
preliminary statement covering every
state and territory of continental
United States has been issued by Cen
sus Director Durand These statistics,
which have been prepared under the
direction of Mr. William c. Hunt, chief
statistician for population in the bu-
reau of the census, are derived from
the population returns Of the thir-
teenth decennial census, taken as of
April Is, 1910, and are compared in
the statement with similar figures for
the eensuses of 1900 and $780, they
are subject to some possible revision.
but ii is hardly probable that such re-
vision will materially affect the pro
portions as now given. The figures

IDLY the general trend of population
toward the cities and the widespread
interest in the matter has prompted
the acting director of the census to
furnish this information in advance
of its publication in a bulletin, to be
issued shortly, giving, in addition to
= NF tbs, ,rla nd .o1
population of the country, detailed
statistics concerning the increase and
distribute nof the population of the
United States. the population per
square mile. and the location of the
center of population in 1910. as com
pared with preceding censuses.
Definition of Urban And Rural Popu-
Iation.
The census bureau, for purposes of
discussion, has defined urban popula-
ton generally as that residing in cities
and other incorporated places of $500
inhabitants or more In the New Eng
land States, in addition to cities hav-
ing this population. all towns having
a population of $500 or more have
also been classed as urban. without
regard to the population of the villages
whether incorporated as such or not
which they may contain In Massa-
ehusetts and Rhode Island political
divisions of lesser area than the town
do not exist: in New Hampshire there
are only two such divisions; and in
each Of the three remaining states. al
though many such villages within
town limits have been Incorporated
they do not include all the actual viii
lagos in the state For this reason it
is not practicable in the New England
states to make a statistical separation
of the actual villages from the towns
in which they are located. The result
is that the "urban areas" in New Eng
land include some population which in
other sections of the United States
would be segregated as rural This
departure from the general rule, rem
dered necessary by local conditions in
New England, probably makes no
great change in the proportions urban
