W ashington, D . C., February 18, 194-1-
I have the honor to submit herewith for publication the sixtysecond 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 LeVerne 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 subsequent issues 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, the Bureau of Marine Inspection and Navigation, and
the Weather Bureau, of the Department of Commerce; the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics, the Agricultural Marketing Service, the
Office of Foreign Agricultural Relations, the Farm Credit Administra
tion, and the Forest Service, 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,
the Bureau of Mines, and the National Park Service, of the Department
of the Interior; the Immigration and Naturalization Service, of the
Department of Justice; the Bureau of Labor Statistics, of the Depart
ment of Labor; the Bureau of Customs and 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 Railroad Retirement Board;
the United States Maritime Commission; and the Veterans’ Adminis
tration.

2 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. An increase of 16.1 percent for 123
months (the time between Jan. 1, 1920, and Apr. 1, 1930) is equivalent to 15.7 percent for exactly 10 years;
and the 1920 increase for 116^> months (the time between Apr. 15, 1910, and Jan. 1, 1920) is equivalent to
15.4 percent 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.
3 Area is that of 1930; population figures are preliminary.

The population o f 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 cannot 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 of Alaska, Hawaii,
and Puerto Rico, and of Philippine Islands, Dec. 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

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 3 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 percent 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; percent urban—1880, 28.6; 1890, 35.4

See headnote, table 9. The proportion of urban and rural population in 1930 as compared with
data for earlier censuses was affected by changes in the classification. If the segregation of urban and
rural had been made in 1930 on the same basis as in 1920, the percent urban in 1930 for the areas affected
would have been as follows: United States, 55.9; New Hampshire, 66.3; Massachusetts, 95.3; Rhode
Island, 97.5; Connecticut, 65.0; New York, 83.4; New Jersey, 77.5; Pennsylvania, 65.7; California, 72.4

1928
to
1937
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 by 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 14, p. 11. No later estimates of the population of States will be made until the 1940 census
figures have been compiled. For actual enumerations for 1940 (preliminary figures), see table 5, p. 3; for
1790 to 1930, see table 7, p. 4

o t e .— Estimates, except for continental United States and Hawaii, 1930 to 1938, are based on the assump
tion that the increase each year between 2 successive censuses is equal to the annual average increase
between the 2 enumerations. Revised estimates for continental United States and Hawaii, 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 Rico, 1930 to 1938, are based
upon a census taken as of Dec. 1, 1935. No further estimates during this intercensal decade

1 Enumeration in Southern States incomplete; this affects especially figures for the Negro population.
2 White population includes Mexicans prior to 1930. The estimated number of Mexicans included in
the white classification in 1920 was as follows: Total, 700,541; native white, 243,181 (172,704 of foreign parent
age and 70,477 of mixed parentage); foreign-born white, 457,360. For close comparison with 1930, adjusted
figures for 1920 may be obtained by deducting these from the white population as reported in 1920.
3 Exclusive of Indians in Indian Territory and on Indian reservations, not enumerated prior to 1890.
4 Comprises Filipinos, Hindus, Koreans, Hawaiians, Malays, Siamese, Samoans, and Maoris.
6 Less than one-tenth of 1 percent, 6 A minus sign (—) denotes decrease.
7 Exclusive of 325,464 persons (117,368 whites, 18,636 Negroes, 189,447 Indians, and 13 Chinese), specially
enumerated in 1890 in Indian Territory and on Indian reservations.
8 Increase over figures adjusted for 1920 on account of Mexicans. See footnote 2.
0 Increase over estimated number in 1920. 10 Percent not shown where base is less than 100.

1 D e f in it io 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 o t e . —A family is defined as a group of persons related either by blood or by marriage or adoption who live
together as 1 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 accommodations 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 Private families only, excluding 75,178 institutions, hotels, etc. These quasi-family groups were in
cluded in the count as made for 1920.
2 The first of the 2 averages shown for 1930 is obtained by dividing the total population by the combined
number of private families and quasi-family groups (institutions, hotels, etc.). This figure is strictly
comparable with the 1920 average. The second average presented for 1930 is obtained by dividing the
total population living in private families by the number of private families.

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 out,” 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 aijd the number classified as “ Unpaid family workers” somewhat tog small,

20 Selected occupations.
21 Not classified separately in 1920.
22 Neither in 1920 nor in 1930 was the attem pt to distinguish chauffeurs and motortruck 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 by 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
G e n e r a l N o t e .— Births and deaths are registered by the States, and transcripts of the original certifi
cates are received and tabulated by the Bureau of the Census. Because of the gradual expansion of the
“registration” areas up to 1933 (see tables 77, 84, and 95), 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. ^
All birth and death statistics in this section, except as noted in table 85, have been compiled according
to the places in which the births or the deaths occurred. The alternative is to allocate each birth and each
death to the State, city, and county of residence or usual place of abode. (For comparison of births and
deaths by place of occurrence and by place of residence, for selected cities, see table 85. For State totals the
difference in most cases would be negligible.) Inasmuch as the population census is compiled according
to the usual place of abode, the tabulation of vital statistics according to place of occurrence has seriously
restricted, for certain purposes, the use of these data. The factors to be considered depend upon the spe
cific purpose for which the data are to be used. If crude death rates—and especially the rates for individual
causes of death—are used as indexes of the health conditions of a community, comparisons of rates for
different States or cities are not strictly valid unless the age, sex, and racial composition of the population
of each area is considered. It is obvious that, if the population in 1 State is generally older than that in
another, the crude death rate will be higher, even though there are no essential differences between the
rates for identical age groups. Moreover, in a few States the rates for certain causes, notably tuberculosis,
are abnormally high because the deaths represented by these rates include those of considerable numbers of
persons who have gone to the States in question in the hope of recovering their health. Similar considera
tions apply also to crude birth rates. For example, comparison of the birth rate of 1 area having a certain
proportion of women of childbearing age with the rate of another community of a different population
composition is erroneous if the rates are used as a measure of intrinsic biological fertility.
Rates are based on midyear estimates of population. For estimates of population for continental United
States, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, see table 14, p. 11; for individual States, see table 13, p. 10. Rates for
continental United States for 1939 are based on population estimates for 1938 as no estimate is available for
1939. Rates for individual States or groups of States for 1938 and 1939 are based on population estimates
for 1937 as no later estimates are available. No estimates of population by sex, by race, by age groups, or
for urban and rural areas have been made for years later than 1933. Data for stillbirths (see table 89)
are excluded from the figures for both births and deaths.
In all tables giving statistics by race, data for Mexicans have been included with those for the white
population.

4. IMMIGRATION, EMIGRATION, AND NATURALIZATION
G e n e r a l N o t e — 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, b u t was not accounted for in the statistics for the period between those dates

The Immigration Act of 1921 limited the number of aliens admitted annually of any nationality
subject to the quota law, to 3 percent 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 percent 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

after required lapse of time and compliance with other conditions. A patent is a conveyance or grant of
land to a claimant who has made his perfected entry. By Executive orders of Nov. 26, 1934, and Feb. 5,
1935, public lands were temporarily withdrawn from settlement, location, sale, or entry. Both orders,
however, were made subject to valid existing rights

N o t e .— 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

C a nal Z o n e R e t ir e m e n t :
and
1921
to
1939
N o t e —Retirement for civil service employees was established by act of May 22, 1920. Under this act
as amended July 3, 1926, and M ay 29, 1930 (effective July 1, 1930), employees of 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 of employees 2 years
before reaching the retirement age where they have rendered at least 30 years of service and also permits
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
prior to July 1,
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 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, with the provision th at 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. By
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 Government.—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 3 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 179) 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. 177. (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 177
