e p a r t m e n t of

Washington, D. C., February 6, 1939,
S i r : I have the honor to submit herewith for publication the
sixtieth issue of the Statistical Abstract of the United States. This
annual volume is a compilation of authoritative statistics relating
to the social and economic condition of the population and to the
industrial, commercial, and governmental activities of the Nation.
It is designed to serve as a convenient reference work for businessmen,
economists, statisticians, students, and others who may have need
of a statistical compendium covering a wide range of subjects.
The first 34 issues of the Abstract were prepared and published
by the Bureau of Statistics, originally a bureau of the Treasury
Department and later of the Department of Commerce and Labor,
and the next 25 by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce,
now of the Department of Commerce. The present volume was
prepared in the Bureau of the Census under the direction of Kathleen
H. Dugan and the supervision of the late Dr. Joseph A. Hill, chief
statistician for the Division of Statistical Research.
Realizing the importance of the early publication of this volume,
the Bureau has not considered making any material changes in its
form or content as compared with the recent previous issues; nor
are any radical changes contemplated for the future or believed to be
necessary. The Bureau plans, however, to introduce such revisions
or new features as will add to the usefulness of the volume, and in
that connection will welcome suggestions from those who use the
Abstract as a book of reference.
The statistical tables contained in the Abstract are compilations of
data collected by the various statistical agencies of the Federal
Government, by several State agencies, and by a considerable number
of nongovernmental organizations. Many of these agencies have
rendered valuable assistance not only in supplying advance data but
also in the actual preparation of tables for inclusion in the Abstract.
Special mention on this account is due the following-named agencies
of the Federal Government: The Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, the Bureau of Fisheries, and the Bureau of Marine
Inspection and Navigation, of the Department of Commerce; the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics, the Forest Service, and the
Weather Bureau, of the Department of Agriculture; the Office of
Education, the General Land Office, and the Bureau of Mines, of
the Department of the Interior; the Immigration and Naturalization
Service and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, of the Department of
Labor; the Bureau of Internal Revenue, of the Treasury Department;
the Farm Credit Administration; the Federal Communications Com­
mission; the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; the
Interstate Commerce Commission; the United States Maritime Com­
mission; the Social Security Board; and the Veterans’ Administration.

*Based on land area.
2 In com paring this percentage of increase with that shown for the decade 1910-1920, allowance should
be m ade for the fact that the period between the censuses of 1910 and 1920 was less than a full decade, and
that between the 1920 and 1930 censuses was m ore than a full decade. A n increase of 16.1 per cent for 123
months (the tim e between Jan. 1,1920, and Apr. 1,1930) is equivalent to 15.7 per cent for exactly 10 years;
and the 1920 increase for 116J4 m onths (the tim e between A pr. 15,1910, and Jan. 1, 1920) is equivalent to
15.4 per cent for 120 months. M aking this adjustment, the rate of increase for the decade ending in 1930
is only slightly higher than that for the preceding decade.

POPULATION-----DENSITY BY STATES

Ho. 5 — DENSITY OF POPULATION PER SQUARE MIIE, BY STATES
N o te .—T he population of continental United
has been divided b y the total land area, although it
included at each census some unorganized territory which was not canvassed b y the enumerators. For
each State or Territory the population as returned at a given census has been divided b y the land area
as constituted at the time that census was taken. T he areas of Indian reservations, outside o f Indian
Territory, are included in the areas o f the several States and Territories, although the population was
not ascertained and can not be considered in figuring density of population prior to 1890. T h e census of
1870 in the Southern States is considered incom plete. Population density in 1930 o f Alaska, Hawaii,
and Puerto R ico, and of Philippine Islands, December 31,1918, based on gross area, and not land area,
was as follows: Alaska, 0.1; Hawaii, 57.5; Puerto R ico, 449.5; Philippine Islands, 90.0

States

o t e .— Estimates of population for 1928 and 1929 are based on the assumption that the increase (or de­
crease) each year between the censuses of 1920 and 1930 is equal to the annual average change between
the tw o enumerations. For 1930 to 1937, the total population is estimated upon the basis of the available
birth, death, immigration, and emigration figures, allowance being made for unregistered births and
deaths. For State estimates for 1934 and 1935 a study of local conditions was made through State data,
principally school statistics. State censuses, and a review of the farm population as indicated b y the
Agricultural Census of Jan. 1,1935. The figures for 1930 to 1933 are obtained b y interpolation between
the 1930 census figures and the 1934 and 1935 estimates. For estimate for continental U nited States for
1938, see table 12, p. 10. For actual enumerations, 1790 to 1930, see tabJe 6, p. 4.

N ote .—E stimates, except for continental United States and Hawaii, 1930 to 1938, are based on the assump­
tion that the increase each year between two successive censuses is equal to the annual average increase
between the two enumerations. Revised estimates for continental United States and H awaii, 1930 to
1938, are based on available data regarding births, deaths, immigration, and emigration, allowance being
made each year for unregistered births and deaths. Estimates for Puerto R ico, 1930 to 1938, are based
upon a census taken as of Dec. 1,1935.

POPULATION— FAMILIES

No. 40.— FAMILIES BY TENURE, AND AVERAGE POPULATION PER FAMILY
N ote .— A. family is defined as a group of persons related either b y blood or b y marriage or adoption who
live together as one household usually sharing the same table. Single persons living alone are counted
as families, however, as are a few small groups of unrelated persons sharing the same living accommoda­
tions as “ partners.” In the 1920 count, inmates of an institution were treated as a single family as were
also other quasi-family groups, Families not reporting tenure are included in the totals for all families.

1 Because of changes m ade in 1930 in the classification of agricultural pursuits, it is impossible to group
the 1920 occupations exactly according to the 1930 classification. It is believed, however, that the effect
of the difference in grouping on the com parability of figures here presented is negligible. Figures have
been adjusted to exclude those em ployed on turpentine farms classified in •‘ Agriculture” in 1920 (see N ote 5).
? Since, in 1920, only farm laborers on general farms were distinguished as working on “ home farm ” or
"w orkin g ou t,” farm laborers on dairy farms, stock farms, truck farms, poultry farms, etc., w ho were, in
fact, working on the “ home farm ” as “ unpaid family workers” were not included in “ Farm laborers (home
f a r m ) H e n c e , as here com piled for 1920, the number of farm laborers classified as “ Wage workers ” prob­
ably is somewhat too large, and the number classified as “ Unpaid family workers” somewhat too small.

& Neither in 1920 nor in 1930 was the attempt to distinguish chauffeurs and m otor truck drivers from
draymen, teamsters, and carriage drivers very successful,
23 Teamsters in agriculture, forestry, and the extraction of minerals are classified with the other workers
in those industries, respectively; drivers for bakeries and stores are classified as deliverymen in trade, and
drivers for laundries are classified as deliverymen in dom estic and personal service.
2* Included w ith “ Draymen, teamsters, and expressmen” in 1920.
25 Because of indefinite returns b y census enumerators, it is probable that some stationary engineers
were included w ith locom otive engineers, and some firemen of stationary boilers with locom otive firemen.

3. VITAL STATISTICS
General N ote.—Births and deaths are registered b y the States, and transcripts o f the original certificates
are received and tabulated b y the Bureau of the Census. Because of the gradual expansion o f the ‘ ‘regis­
tration” areas up to 1033 (see tables 75, 82, and 92), the numbers of births and deaths recorded for earlier
years for the areas as a whole are not strictly comparable, but, in most cases, the expansion of the areas
had only a negligible effect on the comparableness of the rates. Beginning w ith 1933, all States have been
included in both the birth and death registration areas.
Tables 75-89, 91, and 92 cover continental United States; and table 90 gives figures for Hawaii, Puerto
R ico, and the Virgin Islands. Data for stillbirths (see table 86) are excluded from the figures for both
births and deaths.
Rates for 1930 to 1936, except as noted, are based on the latest revised estimates of population as of July 1,
given in table 11, p. 9. Revised population estimates for July 1, 1930 to 1936, are not available b y race or
b y age groups or for cities.
In all tables giving statistics b y race, data for Mexicans have been included with those for the white
population.

i. IMMIGRATION, EMIGRATION, AND NATURALIZATION
o t e .— In compiling immigration and emigration statistics, Alaska. Hawaii, and Puerto R ico,
beginning with 1904,1901, and 1902, respectively, have been treated as integral parts o f the United States.
In prior years the transfer of population between these areas and t h e United
1
States was treated as immigration and emigration. T he movement of population between the Pbilippine Islands and the United
States was treated as immigration and emigration prior to July 1, 1898,
:
and has been so treated since
M a y 1, 1934, but was not accounted for in the statistics for the period' between those dates.

tries whence aliens came; thereafter, countries of last permanent residence. Owing t o changes in the

comparable throughout. Countries added to the list since the beginning o f the W orld W ar were there­
tofore included with the countries to which they belonged. Data are totals (not annual averages) for

o t e -—The Immigration A ct of 1921 limited the number of aliens admitted annually of any nationality
subject to the quota law, to 3 per cent of the number of foreign-born persons of such nationality resident
in continental United States as determined b y the census of 1910; the population plan of the act of 1924,
to 2 per cent according to the census of 1890. The national origins clause of the latter act, which became
effective July 1, 1929, provided that the quota of any nationality should be com puted b y applying to
160,000 the ratio between the calculated number of inhabitants in continental United States in 1920
owing their origin to the nationality concerned and the total Inhabitants in the United States of all
nationalities subject to the quota law. (For estimates of white population b y countries of origin, calcu­
lated as a basis for immigration quotas, see table 97, Statistical Abstract, 1932.) Under the act of 1924
the minimum quota is 100. Both immigrant and nonimmigrant aliens m ay appear in quota law sta­
tistics, or aliens of both classes m ay not be counted against quotas at all

N avajo Reservation was reported as in Arizona; for 1937, that part of the former extending into N ew M exico
and that part of the latter extending into Utah are treated as in N ew M exico and Utah, respectively.

to 1914, table covers quinquennial years and years in which considerable changes occurred
in the number of Regular A rm y. Figures for Officers* Reserve Corps include Regular A rm y enlisted
men and also, prior to 1924, N ational Guard officers holding commissions in the reserve. There is,
therefore, som e duplication in the grand totals, b u t the num ber of this personnel is not so great as to
make a material difference in the figures.

i In com puting these averages, pensions paid to a small number o f veterans (see table 153) were included.
3 T he decrease in the average for 1932 was due to the addition to the roll o f a large number of veterans
receiving disability allowance for nonservice-connected disabilities at a lower annual average value, and
the increase in 1934 to the discontinuance of the disability allowance to approximately 400,000 veterans.

CIVIL SERVICE KETTREMENT
No. 167.— CIVIL SERVICE AND CANAL ZONE RETIREMENT

N o t e .—Retirement for civil service employees was established b y act o f M a y 22, 1920. Under this act
as amended July 3, 1926, and M ay 29, 1930 (effective July 1, 1930), employees o f the classified service
and certain other groups, including unclassified laborers subject to labor regulations, are eligible for
retirement on annuity at the ages of 62, 65, and 70, according to the class of service, if they have rendered
at least 15 years of service. The last-named act permits the optional retirement o f employees 2 years
before reaching the retirement age where they have rendered at least 30 years o f service and also permits
retirement on account of permanent and total disability after 5 years of service. From the basic com ­
pensation of each em ployee within the scope of the acts there is deducted 3H percent (2H prior to July X,
1926) thereof for deposit to the credit of the retirement fund. A ll amounts deducted prior to July 1, 1930,
and thereafter amounts deducted less $1 per month are credited to the em ployee’s individual account.
U nder the amendment of M a y 29, 1930, annuities are composed of (1) a sum equal to $30 for each year
o f service not exceeding 30 (provided it does not exceed three-fourths of average salary for any five consecu­
tive years), and (2) the amount of annuity purchasable with the sum credited to the individual’s account,
together with interest at 4 percent per annum, w ith certain provisions regarding the minimum total
annuity. B y act of M ar. 2,1931 (effective July 1,1931), special provision was made for employees of the
Panama Canal and Panama Canal Railroad, who theretofore had been eligible for retirement under the
civil service retirement and disability act.

9. NATIONAL GOVERNMENT FINANCES
General note as to bases used in compiling statistics 0/ receipts and expenditures of the United States Govern­
ment.— Four different bases are used m 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. The figures for actual transactions during
a m onth or year which are calculated to take into account these delayed reports are said to be on a basis
of daily Treasury statements (revised). T h e unrevised figures are the basis o f the Budget estimates
submitted to Congress b y the President.
It is provided b y law that warrants shall be issued b y the Secretary o f the Treasury in acknowledg­
ment of m oney received, and that warrants must be drawn b y the Secretary o f the Treasury for all dis­
bursements of m oney. Some of these warrants for expenditures do not represent actual paym ents but
are merely advances of credit to disbursing officers, who then issue checks in paym ent of Governm ent
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.
Expenditures on the basis of checks issued (table 181) represent most accurately the actual expenditures
during any given year. T h ey differ from expenditures shown b y 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.
Governm ent transactions are classified according to the accounts through which they are effected. T h e
three classes of accounts are: General fund accounts, which include the general revenues and from which
the operating expenses of the Government, including capital outlays and fixed charges, are paid under
appropriations b y Congress; special fund accounts, or funds received under special authorizations of law
w hich are earmarked for some specific purpose; and trust fund accounts, representing money received and
held in trust for the benefit of individuals or classes of individuals. The latter are not strictly Govern­
m ent m oneys and are shown separately in all tables except N o. 179. (See headnote of that table.)
A ll figures for receipts and expenditures include postal surpluses or deficiencies only; postal revenues
other than surplus receipts and postal expenditures payable from postal revenues are shown in table 179

1 Since Dec. 31,1937, transfers from the general fund have been treated as receipts instead of offsets against
expenditures. T h e 1937 figures in this table have been adjusted accordingly and therefore differ from the
corresponding ones in table 180, pp . 172 and 173.
3 Because o f changes in classification, these items differ from corresponding ones in table 180, pp. 171 and
