Washington D. C., March 11, 1940.
I have the honor to submit herewith for publication the
sixty-first 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 present volume was prepared in the Division of Territorial,
Insular, and Foreign Statistics, of this Bureau, under the supervision
of Kathleen H. Dugan, editor, and under the administrative direction
of LeVeme Beales, chief statistician for the division.
The first 34 issues of the Abstract were prepared and published by
the Bureau of Statistics, originally a bureau of the Treasury Depart
ment and later of the Department of Commerce and Labor; the next
25 by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, now of the
Department of Commerce; and the sixtieth issue (that for 1938) by
the Bureau of the Census.
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 and the Bureau of Marine Inspection and Navigation, of
the Department of Commerce; the Bureau of Agricultural Economics,
the Agricultural Marketing Service, the Office of Foreign Agricultural
Relations, the Farm Credit Administration, the Forest Service, and
the Weather Bureau, of the Department of Agriculture; the Office of
Education and the Social Security Board, of the Federal Security
Agency; the Bureau of Fisheries, 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 Federal Communications Commission;
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; the Interstate
Commerce Commission; the United States Maritime Commission;
and the Veterans’ Administration.

In comparing this percentage of increase with that shown for the decade 1910-1920, allowance should
be made 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 more than a full decade. A n increase of 16.1 per cent for 123
months (the time between Jan. 1,1920, and Apr. 1,1930) is equivalent to 15.7 per cent for exactly 10 years;
and the 1920 increase for 1163^ months (the time between Apr. 15,1910, and Jan. 1,1920) is equivalent to
15.4 per cent for 120 months. Making this adjustment, the rate of increase for the decade ending in 1930
is only slightly higher than that for the preceding decade.

N o t e .— T he population of continental United States 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. The 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. The census of
1870 in the Southern States is considered incomplete. Population density in 1930 o f Alaska, Hawaii,
and Puerto Rico, 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 Rico, 449.5; Philippine Islands, 90.0

N ot* .—Prior to 1980 all incorporated places and also towns (townships) in Massachusetts, Rhode Island*
and New Hampshire having 2,500 or more inhabitants, are classed as urban areas. For 1930, urban areas
also include unincorporated political subdivisions with a total population of 10,000 or more inhabitants
and a population density of 1,000 per square mile and include for the three New England States named
above only those towns which contain a village of more than 2,500 inhabitants comprising, either by itself
or when combined with other villages within the same town, more than 50 per cent of the population of
the town. The total urban and rural population for 1880 and 1890 is as follows: Urban—1880,14,358,167;
1890, 22,298,359; rural—1880, 35,797,616; 1890, 40,649,355; per cent urban—1880, 28.6; 1890, 35.4.

as

St a t e s :
1928
to
1937
N ote .—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 two 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 by interpolation between
the 1930 census figures and the 1934 and 1935 estimates. For estimate for continental United States for
1938, see table 12, p. 10. Because of lack of adequate data on internal migration and because of the prox
imity of the Sixteenth Decennial Census, to be taken in 1940, no further estimates of the population of
States will be made during this intercensal decade. For actual enumerations, 1790 to 1930, see table 6, p. 4.

N ote.—Estimates, 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 Hawaii, 1930 to
193S, 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. N o further estimates during this intercensal decade.

i D e f i n i t i o n o f M e d i a n . — The median is the numerical value of the half-way point in a series of units
arranged according to size, age, value, weight, or some other measurable characteristic. Therefore there
are as many units above the median size, weight, etc., as there are below it. One-half the population is
older than the median age and the other half is younger. One-half of the homes have a value above the
median value, the other half a value below it.

N ote .—A family is defined as a group of persons related either b y blood or by 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.

Forestry and fishing....
1 Because of changes made 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 comparability of figures here presented is negligible. Figures have
been adjusted to exclude those employed on turpentine farms classified in “ Agriculture ** in 1920 (see Note 5).
2 Since, in 1920, only farm laborers on general farms were distinguished as working on “ home farm” or
' ‘ working o u t /’ farm laborers on dairy farms, stock farms, truck farms, poultry farms, etc., who were, in
fact, working on the “ home farm” as “ unpaid family workers” were not included in “ Farm laborers (home
farm).” Hence, as here compiled for 1920, the number of farm laborers classified as “ Wage workers'’ prob
ably is somewhat too large, Mid the number classified as “ Unpaid family workers” somewhat too small.

20 Selected occupations.
21 Not classified separately in 1920.
22 Neither in 1920 nor in 1930 was the attempt to distinguish chauffeurs and motor 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 domestic and personal service.
24 Included with “ Draymen, teamsters, and expressmen” in 1920.
25 Because of indefinite returns b y census enumerators, it is probable that some stationary engineers
were included with locomotive engineers, and some firemen of stationary boilers with locomotive firemen.

3. VITAL STATISTICS
General Note.—Births and deaths are registered toy the States, and transcripts of the original certificates
are received and tabulated b y the Bureau of the Census. Because of the gradual expansion of the "regis
tration" areas up to 1933 (see tables 75, 82, and 93), 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 with 1933, all States have been
included in both the birth and death registration areas.
“ Registration area” in tables 75, 78-80, 82, 84-86, 88-90 covers continental United States; table 91 gives
figures for Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. Data for stillbirths (see table 87) are excluded
from the figures for both births and deaths.
Rates for 1930 to 1938, except as noted, are based on the latest revised estimates of population as of July 1,
given in table 11, p. 9 and table 12, p. 10. Revised population estimates for July 1, 1930 to 1938, are not
available b y race or by 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.

4. IMMIGRATION, EMIGRATION, AND NATURALIZATION
General Note.—In compiling immigration and emigration statistics, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico,
beginning with 1904,1901, and 1902, respectively, have been treated as integral parts of the United States.
In prior years the transfer of population between these areas and the United States was treated as immi
gration and emigration. The movement of population between the Philippine Islands and the United
States was treated as immigration and emigration prior to July 1, 1898, and has been So treated since
M ay 1, 1934, but was not accounted for in the statistics for the period between those dates.
No. 96. — I m m i g r a t i o n : 1821 t o 1938
N ote.—For 1821 to 1867 the figures represent alien passengers arriving; for 1868 to 190?, immigrants arriving;
for 1904 to 1906, aliens admitted; for 1907 to date, immigrant aliens admitted. Data are for fiscal years
ended June 30 except as noted; for periods they are totals, not annual averages

N ote .—The Immigration Act 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 by 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 computed by applying to
150,000 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 by 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 may appear in quota law sta
tistics, or aliens of both classes may not be counted against quotas at all

* Per capita figures for 1932 based on unrevised estimates of population. Figure for continental United
States differs, therefore, from corresponding figure in table 111, p. 107, which is based on revised estimate.
Figures for 1934 computed by Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce based on revised estimates
of population. See table 11, p. 9. New method of estimating State population for 1934 and 1G36 accounts
in part for marked changes in ratios for some States.

however, were made subject to valid existing rights

Note.—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.

‘ In computing these averages, pensions paid to a small number of veterans (see table 155) were included.
» The decrease in the average for 1933 was due to the addition to the roll of a large number of veterans
receiving disability allowance for nonservice-conneeted disabilities at a lower annual average value, and
the increase in 1934 to the discontinuance of the disability allowance to approximately 400,000 veterans.

retirement on account of permanent and total disability after 5 years of service. From the basic com
pensation of each employee within the scope of the acts there is deducted 3H percent (2H prior to July l,
1926) thereof for deposit to the credit of the retirement fund. All amounts deducted prior to July 1,1930,
and thereafter amounts deducted less $1 per month are credited to the employee’s individual account.
Under the amendment of M ay 29, 1930, annuities are composed of (1) a sum equal to $30 for each year
of service not exceeding 3C (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, with the provision that the annuity shall in no case be less
than an amount equal to the average salary, not to exceed $1,600 per annum, received during any five
consecutive years, multiplied by the number of years of service, not exceeding 30, and divided by 40. B y
act of Mar. 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 of receipts and expenditures of the United States GovernFour 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. The figures for actual transactions during
a month or year which are calculated to take into account these delayed 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 dis
bursements of money. Some of 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.
Expenditures on the basis of checks issued (table 178) 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.
Government transactions are classified according to the accounts through which they are effected. The
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 by Congress; special fund accounts, or funds received under special authorizations of law
which 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
ment moneys and are shown separately in all tables except No. 176. (See headnote of that table.)
All 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 176,
