S i r : I have the honor to submit herewith for publication the fifty-
first annual issue of the Statistical Abstract of the United States.
As in previous years, this publication has been prepared in the
Division of Statistical Research, of which E. Dana Durand is chief.
It represents, however, a digest of data collected by all statistical
agencies of the National Government, as well as those of a consider
able number of private agencies and one or two States. Many of
these offices and agencies have been of great assistance in furnishing
advance data and also in the actual preparation of the tables used in
the Abstract. Special mention in this connection is due the following
offices of the Federal Government: The Bureau of the Census, the
Bureau of Fisheries, and the Bureau of Mines of the Department of
Commerce; the Bureau of Agricultural Economics and the Weather
Bureau of the Department of Agriculture; the Bureau of Immigra
tion and the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Department of Labor;
the Bureau of Education of the Department of the Interior; the Fed
eral Board for Vocational Education; the Statistical Division of the
Income Tax Unit and the Federal Farm Loan Bureau of the Treasury
Department; the Veterans, Bureau; the Interstate Commerce Com
mission; the-United States Shipping Board; and the Division of
Analysis and Research of the Federal Reserve Board. Valuable aid
has also been given by the Bureau of Railway Economics, Washing
ton; the New York Produce Exchange; the Spectator Co., New York;
Dun’s Review, New York; and the Bureau of Canals, State of New
York. \ ^
Comp-arative international tables showing statistics for the United
States and foreign countries are published in Volume II of the Com
merce Ye$jbook? - .

N ote.—Estimates for continental United States, prior to 1920, and for Hawaii, Porto Rico, and Philippine
Islands, all years, are based on the assumption that the increase each year between two successive
censuses is equal to the annual average increase between the two enumerations. Beginning 1920, esti
mates for continental United States are based on available data regarding births, deaths, immigration,
and emigration. Estimates for 1929 have not been made pending the 1930 census. For estimated popu
lation by States see Table 11

N o t e .—The total population of the United States is estimated upon the basis of the available birth, death,
immigration, and emigration figures. The annual increase in the United States population is distributed
to the various States according to the per cent which each State increase was of the United States increase
between 1910 and 1920, except that in the case of those States which took a census in 1925 the State census
figures are used. If a State showed a decrease in population between 1910 and 1920 or 1920 and 1925, the
1920 or 1925 census figure was used and no estimate made. Pending the 1930 census, estimates for 1929
have not been made

N ote .—The population of continental United States has been divided by the total land area, although it
included at each census some unorganized territory which was not canvassed by the enumerators. For
each State or Territory the population as returned at a given census has been divided by the land area
as constituted at the time that census was taken. The areas of Indian reservations, outside of Indian
Territory, are included in the areas of the several States and Territories, although the population was
not ascertained and can not be considered in figuring density of population prior to 1890. The census of
1870 in the Southern States is considered incomplete. Population density in 1920 of Alaska, Hawaii,
and Porto Rico, and of December 31,1918, Philippine Islands, based on gross area, and not land area,
was as follows: Alaska, 0.1; Hawaii, 39.7; Porto Rico, 378.4; Philippine Islands, 90.0.

institution, or an apartment house, though containing m any families, constitutes but one dwelling,
while a boat, tent, room in a factory, store, etc., although occupied b y only one person, is also counted
as a dwelling. A family signifies a group o f persons, whether related b y blood or not, w ho live in one
household, usually sharing the same table. One person alone is a fam ily, while occupants and employees
of a hotel, if that is the usual place of abode, and all the inmates of an institution are treated as a single
family

* At the 1890 census incorporated peaces were not distinguished from unincorporated ones. The figures,
for that year for incorporated places of less than 2,500 inhabitants have been estimated, assuming that those
places were incorporated in 1890 which were returned separately in that year and were returned in 1900 as
incorporated, and may include the population of some unincorporated places and exclude that of some
incorporated.

The method of segregating the urban and rural population in certain New England States has been
changed since 1910 (see headnote, Table 37), so that the absolute numbers for marital condition in 1910
are not strictly comparable; the percentages, however, would not be affected by the small change

since 1920 has been the same as the annual average increase between 1910 and 1920, except that in States
- which took a census in 1925 the estimates are based on the average annual increase between 1920 and
1925. Allowance is made for any annexations or detachments of territory that may have taken place
and of which the bureau has been advised. Where the last census showed a decrease or where there
were exceptional conditions of growth, no estimates were made. For actual enumerations see Table 43.
Pending the 1930 census, estimates for 1929 have not been made

N o t e .— Owing to change in the date of enumeration from April to January and to changes in the wording
of the instructions, the number of persons, especially women and children, reported as farm laborers
was much less in 1920 than would have been the case if the 1910 method had been followed. Th& incom
parability in this occupation affects materially the figures for the agricultural group as a whole and
even for all occupations combined. For discussion see Census of 1920, Vol. IV , pp. 12 to 14

i Owing to changes in the grouping of occupations according to great classes, in the definition of certain
individual occupations, and in instructions to enumerators (especially as to reporting women and children),
the census statistics as originally published require regrouping and also certain adjustments which must
be made by estimate. The margin of possible error involved in these estimates is not sufficient to obscure
the general nature of the shift which has taken place.

G eneral N ote .—The figures contained in this section can not be taken as an absolute index of conditions.
The provisions for the care of these classes are so divergent in different States, and in the same State at
different times, that the enumeration of persons in certain institutions may be far from reflecting the
true differences or changes in the relative number of such persons in the population at large. Moreover,
the methods of enumeration have* been changed from time to time. The difficulty of formulating an
adequate definition, the large element of personal judgnient of the enumerator, and reluctance on the part
of individuals to admit defects, all affect the accuracy of the data

3. VITAL STATISTICS
G e n e r a l N ote .— Vital statistics are registered by the States in the first instance, but duplicates of the
original certificates of individual births and deaths are received and tabulated by the Census Bureau. Some
States have as yet no system of registration. Owing to the gradual expansion of the “ registration ” areas
(shown in Tables 81,88 and 97), figures for the areas as a whole are not strictly comparable but, in most cases,
the rates are affected very slightly.
Rates of births and deaths are affected by the sex and age distribution of the population. Certain tables
show "adjusted” death rates in 1920, taking these factors into consideration, but most of the tables show
crude rates which are obtained simply by dividing the number of deaths by the total population. The
difference for the registration area as a whole is small, but for some States it is considerable. Adjusted rates
subsequent to 1920 may be computed by applying to the crude rates, based on estimated population, the
ratio of the adjusted rate to the crude rate in 1920, based on enumerated population. This method, as we
get farther and farther away from the census of 1920, may become less and less reliable owing to changes in
the age and sex distribution of the population. Stillbirths, shown in Table 92, are excluded from data for
both births and deaths.
General tables cover the registration area in continental United States. Hawaii and the Virgin Islands
are the only territories or possessions having adequate registration of births and deaths. Data for the
former are shown separately in certain tables.

N ote .— It is necessary for accurate comparison of different years to consider only States having regis
tration throughout the period compared. The rates for the registration States of 1900 are.based on the
population as enumerated January 1,1920, and the estimated midyear population of 1903, 1913, 1926, and
1927; the rates for the registration States of 1920 are based on the midyear estimates. See also general

N o. 1 0 5 .— IMMIGRATION, BY COUNTRY OF LAST PERMANENT RESIDENCE,
1831 TO 1920
N ote .—For 1831 to 1867 figures represent alien passengers arriving; for 1868 to 1903, immigrants arriving;
for 1904 to 1906, aliens, admitted; thereafter, immigrant aliens admitted. Owing to changes in the lists
of countries separately reported and to changes in boundaries, data for certain countries are not com
parable throughout. For immigration since 1920, rendered incomparable in many cases by changes
m boundaries, see Table 106. Data are totals (not annual averages) for periods ended June 30 since 1870,

UNITED STATES: 1920
N o t e .— The table gives the national origin of the white population of the United States as determined as
a basis for immigration quotas under the provisions of the Immigration Act of 1924. The percentage of
the total white population derived from each country of origin is expressed in terms of the equivalent
number of inhabitants. ** Colonial Stock ” is used to designate that portion of the white population which
is descended from the population enumerated in the first census, taken in 1790; “ post colonial stock,’*
that which is descended from or consists of immigrants coming to the United States after 1790. Non
quota countries include Canada, Newfoundland, Mexico, Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and
the 16 independent Republics of Central and South America.

do not report them separately. Average salary refers in 1900 to annual salary of teachers and supervising
officers in cities of 8,000 or over; in 1910, to monthly salary of teachers. Both total salaries and annual
average salary in 1926 refer to salaries of teachers, supervisors, and principals, the latter being based on
number of teaching positions plus number of supervisors and principals

N ote .—Prior to 1914, table covers quinquennial years and years in which considerable changes occurred
in the number of Regular Army. Figures for Officers’ Reserve Corps include Regular Army enlisted
men and also, prior to 1924, National Guard officers, holding commissions in the reserve. There is,
therefore, some duplication in the grand totals, but the number of this personnel is not so great as to
make a material difference in the figures

VETERANS’ BUREAU

G eneral N ote .—T he following is a summary of the various forms of veterans' relief under the admin
istration of the United States Veterans’ Bureau.,
Compensation is awarded for death or disability resulting from personal injuries received or diseases
contracted in the military or naval service on or after April 6,1917, and before July 2, 1921, or for an aggra
vation or recurrence of a preexisting disability resulting from such service. The rates of compensation
range from $8 per month for a temporary disability to $200 per month for double permanent total disability.
In some instances a $50 allowance for an attendant is granted in addition to other compensation.
Yearly renewable term insurance—Timing the period of the war and until July 2, 1927, yearly renewable
term insurance ranging from $500 to $10,000 was issued. All term insurance not converted into permanent
United States Government life insurance before July 2, 1927, lapsed. Claims upon such policies are paid
in 240 monthly installments except where there is no beneficiary named or where the beneficiary named
dies before receiving all of the payments, the remainder is paid in one sum.
Medical and hospital care.—In addition to compensation payments, the disabled person is furnished
reasonable Government medical, surgical, and hospital service and supplies, and appliances considered
reasonably necessary. Hospital facilities of this bureau are also available for veterans of the Spanish
American War, the Philippine Insurrection, the Boxer Rebellion, or the World War, suffering from neuro
psychiatric or tubercular ailments and diseases, paralysis agitans, encephalitis lethargica or amoebic dysen
tery, or the loss of sight of both eyes, whether such ailments or diseases are due to military service or other
wise. The bureau is also authorized t6 furnish hospitalization and necessary traveling expenses toveterans of any war since 1897, without regard to the nature or origin of their disabilities.
Vocational rehabilitation— Under the act of July 27, 1918, honorably discharged members of the ArmyNavy, or Marine Corps who were unable to carry on in a gainful occupation successfully were provided
with vocational training at Government expense, including allowances for maintenance of them and their
dependents. The act also provided for the placement of rehabilitated persons in suitable occupations.
Veterans who suffered a compensable disability but were not vocationally handicapped were provided
with instruction, including tuition and supplies, but were not given maintenance allowance. Rehabilita
tion activities of the bureau ceased with the close of the fiscal year 1928.
United States Government life insurance— United States Government life insurance is issued in any mul
tiple of $500, not less than $1,000 or more than $10,000, upon the payment of premiums at a net peace-time
rate, with no extra charge for administration or excess mortality due to the hazards of war. (Tor rates and
forms of insurance see Tables 168 and 170.) The policies carry the usual provisions common to policies issued
by commercial companies, such as extended insurance, paid-up insurance, cash surrenders, and loans.
Dividends are also paid from excess of interest earnings and savings in mortality.
Adjusted compensation.—The act of M ay 19,1924, authorized the payment of adjusted compensation to all
veterans of the World War, excluding officers above the grade of captain in the Army or Marine Corps or
similar rant in the Navy and Coast Guard. The rate of adjusted compensation for service in excess of
60 days is $1.25 and $1 per day and the amount of credit is limited to $625 and $500 for overseas and home
service, respectively. Veterans entitled to not more than $50 are paid in cash and others are given a 20year endowment insurance policy for an amount that the adjusted service credit increased by 25 per cent
would purchase at the age of the veteran on the birthday nearest the date of the certificate, with interest
at 4 per cent compounded annually. An amendment authorized the bureau to make loans direct to the
veteran; prior to its passage loans secured by adjusted service certificates could be made only by the banks*

N ote.—Retirement for civil-service employees was established by act of M ay 22, 1920, and amended by
act of July 1,1926. Under these acts employees of the classified service with competitive status, most
of the principal groups of unclassified laborers, postmasters appointed from the classified service, and
certain other groups are eligible for retirement on annuity at the age of 70 (65 for letter carriers, post office
and seaport clerks, laborers, and mechanics generally and 62 for railway postal clerks and persons engaged
in tropical and hazardous occupations) if they have rendered 15 years of service. Provision is also made
for retirement of employees in the service 15 years who, before reaching retirement age, become disabled.
Annuities are computed by multiplying the average annual basic compensation, not to exceed $1,500,
received during the last 10 years of service by the number of years of service, not to exceed 30, and divid
ing the product by 45. Employees within the scope of the act are required to contribute 3H per cent
(2>6 prior to July 1 , 1926) of their basic compensation to the retirement fund

General note as to bases used in compiling statistics of receipts and expenditures of the United States Governmerit.— Four different bases are used in compiling both the receipts and expenditures of the Government.
These bases, in the case of receipts, are the daily Treasury statements (unrevised and revised), warrants
issued, and collections reported. The expenditures of the Government are published on the first three of
these bases and also on the basis of checks issued. Figures in the daily Treasury statements (unrevised)
which are on a current cash basis are compiled from the latest daily reports from the Treasury offices or
public depositories. Owing to the distance of some of these offices and depositories from the Treasury,
reports from them are somewhat delayed in reaching the Treasury, and consequently it is necessary to issue
the unrevised Treasury statements before they are received. In order to show the actual receipts and
expenditures for any month or year, it is necessary to take into account these delayed reports. The figures
for actual transactions during a month or year which are calculated by the use of these reports are said to
be on a basis of daily Treasury statements (revised). The unrevised figures are the basis of the Budget
estimates submitted to Congress by the President.'
It is provided by law that warrants shall be issued by the Secretary of the Treasury in acknowledg
ment of money received, and that warrants must be drawn by the Secretary of the Treasury for all
disbursements of money. These warrants for expenditures do not represent actual payments but are
merely advances of credit to disbursing officers, who then issue checks in payment of Government
obligations. Expenditures on the basis of warrants issued include unexpended balances to the credit of
disbursing officers at the end of the year but do not include expenditures made during the year from unex
pended balances of the preceding year. Both receipts and expenditures on a warrant basis omit transac
tions in certain accounts which credit receipts directly against expenditures shown on a warrant basis
Under normal conditions the unexpended balances of disbursing offices vary comparatively little from,
year to year, and other adjustments are small, but during a war period or a period of post-war adjustments
differences in these items may be large and may cause marked discrepancies between figures shown on a
cash as compared with a warrant basis. For example, the liquidation of the War Finance Corporation
has caused some very large differences between figures of Government expenditures on these bases during
the past decade.
Expenditures on the basis of checks issued (Table 187) represent most accurately the actual expenditures
during any given year. They differ from expenditures shown by daily Treasury statements (revised),
because they include checks outstanding at the end of the year and exclude unpaid checks at the beginning
of the year.
All figures for receipts and expenditures include the figures of postal surpluses or deficiencies and con
sequently leave out the gross figures of postal revenues and expenditures.

* Up to 1920, inclusive, civil expenditures under War and Navy Departments at Washington are included under the column Civil and Miscellaneous; thereafter under War and Navy Departments, respec
tively. Civil and miscellaneous expenditures, beginning 1917, have been revised to exclude expenditures
by Bureau of War Risk Insurance and for vocational rehabilitation. War Department expenditures in
clude those for rivers and harbors and the Panama Canal.
2 Includes only Army and Navy pensions for service prior to World War and fees of examining sur
geons. Does not include salaries under Bureau of Pensions or payments to veterans of the World War,
which are made by Veterans’ Bureau (see next column).
8 Prior to 1922 data represent expenditures by Bureau of War Risk Insurance and for vocational rehabili
tation. They are exclusive of operations in Government life insurance trust funds and special funds.
4 Exclusive of amounts transferred to the civil service retirement and disability fund in 1921 to 1926.
* Averages are for entire 10-year period, though there were no expenditures in certain years.
« Additional compensation, Postal Service (resolution of Nov. 8,1919), included in “ Postal deficiencies.”
7 The liquidation of the War Finance Corporation and the repayment of loans by the railroads very
much affected the total civil and miscellaneous expenditures in 1925.

6 Less than $500.
7 Apparent decrease is due to the fact that in 1928 adjustments were made between general account of
advances and these accounts by transfer and counter warrants, whereas in prior years adjustments were
effected by pay warrants, the proceeds of which were redeposited as miscellaneous receipts. In 1928 this
adjustment is excluded from both receipts and expenditures, as it does not affect the cash in the Treasury.

The figures represent collections by internal revenue officers
throughout the country, including deposits by postmasters of amounts received from sale of internal rev
enue stamps and deposits of internal revenue collected through customs offices, and, therefore, differ from
those in Tables 182, 184, and 186 which represent the deposits of these collections in the Treasury or
depositaries during the fiscal year concerned, there being thus* an overlapping of time. Certain items,
included in the totals in the last column, are shown in detail in the second part of the table
