supply contracts, and wartime facilities projects). This publication is out of
print. It may be consulted at most large public and university libraries.
Historical Statistics of the United States, a third supplement, was published in
July 1949. This volume brings together 3,000 statistical series which extend
back through time. Data are shown for each year back to 1789 or to the earliest
data available for the series. In the preparation of this supplement the Bureau
had the cooperation of a special committee of the Social Science Research Coun­
cil set up to advise the Director of the Census on a source book of historical
statistics and of the Committee on Research in Economic History under the
auspices of the Social Science Research Council. This volume is on sale by
the Superintendent of Documents, Washington 25, D. C. for $2.50. These
statistics will be brought to date each year in the appendix of the annual
Statistical Abstract, beginning with the current (1949) edition.
These supplements to the Statistical Abstract have been prepared to extend
the usefulness of the basic annual volume by assembling specialized material in
separate books. As these supplements develop it will be possible to edit the
material shown in the basic volume to emphasize recent data, while supple­
ments will serve the more specialized needs.
Responsibility.—As implied in the title, the contents of this volume are taken
from a large number of sources, as indicated in the list of agencies furnishing
material. (See pages XII-XV.) The Bureau of the Census cannot accept the
responsibility for the accuracy or limitations of the data presented here, other
than for those which it collects. However, the responsibility for selection of the
material for the general user and for proper presentation rests with the Bureau,
even though carried out with the cooperation of many technicians who have
given unselfishly of their time and knowledge in order to assist the Bureau’s
staff in making the presentation as meaningful and useful as possible.
The cooperation of the users must also be acknowledged. Many persons have
written offering suggestions for improving the presentation of the material.
These letters have been most helpful and users are urged to continue to make
their needs known. All suggestions will be carefully considered in planning
future editions.

STATISTICAL ABSTRACT GF THE UNITED STATES, 1949
1. Area and Population
This section relates to the population of the United States, its distribution, and its
characteristics. The principal source of these data is the Decennial Census of Popu­
lation, a house-to-house enumeration made once every ten years beginning with 1790.
The data shown here were selected chiefly from the Sixteenth Census (1940), and from
special census releases and reports, with the object of giving as complete a description
of the population of the United States as space permits. Whenever practicable, a
historical series is given in order to show changes that have occurred over periods of
time. Most of the data presented apply to continental United States, but some
figures for Territories and possessions are included.
Related materials are presented in other sections of this volume. Data on house­
hold composition are included in this section, but statistics of marriage and divorce
are presented in section 2, Vital Statistics, Health, and Nutrition; statistics on family
income are given in section 11, Income and Expenditures; and Census data on employ­
ment and occupations are given in section 8, Labor Force, Employment, and Pay Rolls.
Data on the population in institutions as enumerated in 1940 are given in this section,
but additional data on persons in mental institutions are given in section 2 and on pris­
oners in section 5, Crime and Criminals. Tables on nativity and citizenship are
included in this section, but related data are included in section 3, Immigration,
Emigration, and Naturalization.
Population samples.—The use of sampling methods in the Sixteenth Census per­
mitted the collection of statistics on a larger number of inquiries than has heretofore
been possible, the release of preliminary population statistics at an early date, and
the tabulation of a great many social and economic characteristics of the population
at a relatively low cost.
Certain tables in this section and in the related sections mentioned above are based
on tabulations of samples of the population. Several samples were drawn and the
figures shown were obtained by multiplying the sample results by a factor dependent on
the sample size in each case. Sample B is a sample of all individuals from the 1940
Population Schedule; Sample C and Sample W are samples of individual women 15
years old and over from the 1940 and 1910 Population Schedules, respectively; Sample
D, a sample of households from the 1940 Population Schedule; and Sample F, a sample
of households based for some subjects on 1940 Population Schedule entries, and for
other subjects on 1940 Housing Schedule entries. For Sample B, the sample size is 5
percent. Samples C, D, and F are 5 percent in most areas, but they include 2Y%per­
cent samples in the most populous areas. Sample W is an 8-percent sample for the
North and the South, and about 12 percent for the West.
Exact agreement is not to be expected among the various samples, nor between
them and the complete count, but the sample data may be used with confidence when
large numbers are involved, and may be assumed to indicate patterns and relation­
ships where small numbers are involved. Specifically, any number of the size of a
million or over may be assumed to agree with a complete count within 1% percent,
though most numbers of this size will agree within % of 1 percent. Any number of
the size of 100,000 may be assumed to agree with a complete count within 4 percent,
though most numbers of this size will agree within 2 percent. Most numbers as small
as 10,000 will agree within 10 percent. The sampling errors in subtotals formed by
addition of classes are covered by the same statements. More detailed statements
regarding the sampling errors are given in the original sources.
For years since 1940, several of the tables present statistics that are based on the
Current Population Survey, conducted monthly by the Bureau of the Census. This
survey covers a representative sample of about 25,000 households taken in selected

AREA AND POPULATION

areas throughout the United States. A statement indicating the sampling reliability
of estimates based on this sample is given in the Sampling Note, p. 175.
Population estimates.—Population estimates for dates after April 1940, which are
not the result of sample surveys, are based on data from the 1940 census; statistics of
births and deaths provided by the National Office of Vital Statistics, United States
Public Health Service; statistics of immigration and emigration reported by the
Immigration and Naturalization Service, Department of Justice; and statistics on
the strength and distribution of the armed forces provided by the National Military
Establishment. Postcensal estimates of State population are based on the same
fundamental series of data and in addition make use of school statistics for both public
and private schools, in connection with accounting for interstate migration.
Urban and rural areas.—In the course of its history the Census has employed several
definitions of urban population. The current definition was adopted in substantially
its present form at the time of the 1910 census and was slightly modified at later cen­
suses. In this edition, the urban-rural classification for all years is in accordance
with the 1940 definition, as follows:
The urban area is made up for the most part of cities and other incorporated places
having 2,500 inhabitants or more. In addition, it includes unincorporated political
subdivisions with a population of 10,000 or more and a population density of 1,000
or more per square mile; and in the States of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New
Hampshire, those towns (townships) which contain a village of 2,500 or more, com­
prising either by itself or when combined with other villages within the same town,
more than 50 percent of the total population of the town.
The remainder of the population is classified as rural and is subdivided into the
rural-farm population, which comprises all rural residents living on farms, without
regard to occupation, and the rural-nonfarm population, which comprises the
remaining rural population.
For the years after 1940, the urban-rural population figures reflect the classification
of areas as urban and rural in 1940. Thus, the urban total for 1946 represents the
population living, in 1946, in areas which were classified as urban in 1940; it does not
represent the total which would have been classified as urban in 1946 if all areas had
then been reclassified as urban or rural on the basis of their 1946 population.
Households.—A “household,” according to present usage of the Census Bureau,
comprises all persons who occupy a dwelling unit, that is, a house, an apartment or
other group of rooms, or a room that constitutes “separate living quarters.” A house­
hold includes the “related persons” (the head of the household and others in the
dwelling unit who are related to the head) and also the lodgers, servants, or hired hands,
if any, who regularly live in the house. The number of “households,” thus defined,
is the same as the number of “private households” or “families” as the latter two
terms were used in the 1940 census reports. A person living alone or a group of un­
related persons sharing the same living accommodations as partners is counted as a
household.
The term “household,” as used here, excludes the small number (about 80,000 in
1940) of institutions, hotels, large lodging houses, and other quasi households which
are included as households in the census reports (and in figures shown in this edition)
for 1920, 1910, 1890, and earlier years. The figures for 1900 and for 1930 and sub­
sequent years, shown in this edition, are in conformance with the present usage of the
term “household” as defined above.
Historical statistics.—In this cection, tabular headnotes (as “See also Historical
Statistics, series B24~25) provide cross-references, where applicable, to Historical Sta­
tistics of the United States, 1789-1945 . In that historical supplement to the Statistical
Abstract, statistics are carried back year by year as far as possible. See also the his­
torical appendix of the present issue of the Abstract for specific titles of series and
the earliest year shown in the supplement.

Vital statistics.— Vital statistics, including statistics of births, deaths, marriages, and
divorces, are compiled on a national basis by the National Office of Vital Statistics,
Public Health Service. Prior to July 16,1946, this activity was carried on in the Bureau
of the Census.
Births and deaths.— The national collection of mortality statistics on an annual
basis was begun in 1900. For that year, the national death-registration area consisted
of 10 States, the District of Columbia, and a number of cities in nonregistration States.
The national collection of birth statistics was begun in 1915 with 10 States and the
District of Columbia. Since 1933, the birth and death registration areas have com­
prised the entire United States.
In the following tables, births and deaths for 1940 and subsequent years are shown
by place of residence 1 of the mother or of the decedent; those for earlier years by
place of occurrence of the birth or death.
Death statistics include only deaths occurring in the continental United States and
exclude deaths of military personnel overseas. Stillbirths are excluded from both
birth and death statistics.
Birth and death rates.— Birth and death rates are based upon Bureau of the Census
estimates of the midyear population. Several types of population bases are used
because of the special situation created by the changes in size and disposition of the
armed forces. Briefly, birth rates for 1940-46 for the United States are based on
estimates of the total population including members of the armed forces overseas;
those for States on estimates of the c i v i l i a n population in the States. Birth rates for
1947 and death rates for 1940-47 are based on t o t a l population present in the area
(excluding armed forces overseas).
For 1940-46, changes in the birth and death rates should be interpreted with care.1
2
Part of the increase or decrease in the rates may be accounted for by the changes in
the age, race, and sex composition of the population in the area. Of particular signifi­
cance were the concentration of military forces in certain areas, the movement to
overseas duty of a large number of men in the armed forces, and their subsequent
return.
In addition to the birth and death statistics, published by the National Office of
Vital Statistics, the individual State bureaus of vital statistics issue reports in this
field. Ordinarily these publications contain more details relating to the geographic
and political subdivisions of the States.
Marriages and divorces.— Collections of statistics on the numbers of marriages and
divorces in the United States were made for the years 1867-1906, 1916, 1922-32, and
1937-47, except that no national collections on statistics of marriage were made in
1941-43. Estimates have been made for the intervening years as well as for years in
which returns were not complete. Marriage statistics for 1922-32 are based on reports
for all counties. For the remaining years in which marriage statistics were collected,
more than 90 percent of all counties were covered. Returns on divorces were considered
practically complete for all collection years prior to 1941. At the present time, records

of the United States, 1946, Part II, pp. V - X .

and Mortality Statistics, United States, 1943, Vital Statistics— Special Reports, Vol. 21, N o. 1, 1945.

VITAL STATISTICS, HEALTH, AND NUTRITION

of marriage are collected centrally in almost three-fourths of the States, and records
of divorces, in about one-half of the States. Marriage and divorce rates are based
upon Bureau of the Census estimates of the midyear population.
Morbidity.— Statistics on morbidity are compiled and published by the Public Health
Service. Each State health officer reports all diseases that are required by law or
regulation to be reported in his State. The lists of diseases required to be reported
are not the same for each State, although the most common communicable diseases
are reportable in all the States. Tables 102 and 103 show data on these reportable
diseases.
In addition, data on illnesses are obtained by special surveys. The most comprehen­
sive survey in this field is the National Health Survey made in 1935-36. Reprint No.
2384 from the Public Health Reports for May 29, 1942, gives a rather complete list
of publications based on the National Health Survey.
Medical care.— Annual statistics of medical care on a Nation-wide basis are limited
to data on hospital facilities obtained from the annual census of hospitals and institu­
tions conducted by the American Medical Association. Such censuses include only
hospitals, sanatoriums, and related institutions registered by that organization.
Therefore, a relatively large number of institutions are not included in the survey.
However, practically all of the large institutions in the country are canvassed with the
result that most of the hospital bed facilites are usually included.
An index to one aspect of medical care is also provided by the numbers of births and
deaths occurring in hospitals and institutions. These data may be found in the Public
Health Service publications on vital statistics. Another aspect of medical care is
provided by statistics on patients in hospitals for mental disease, and in institutions
for mental defectives and epileptics. Beginning with the report for 1947, these sta­
tistics have been carried on by the Mental Hygiene Division, Public Health Service,
Federal Security Agency; from 1926-46, the data were collected annually by the Bureau
of the Census.
Nutrition.— Statistics on the apparent consumption of food per capita by civilians
are estimated by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics of the Department of Agri­
culture. On the basis of these estimates, statistics on the nutritive value of the per
capita food supply are computed by the Bureau of Human Nutrition and Home
Economics. These statistics are published quarterly by the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics in the National Food Situation.
Historical statistics*— In this section, tabular headnotes (as “ See also H i s t o r i c a l
S t a t i s t i c s , series B 1 and C 1 -5” ) provide cross-references, where applicable, to Historical
Statistics of the United States, 1789-1945. In that historical supplement to the Sta­
tistical Abstract, statistics are carried back year by year as far as possible. See also
the historical appendix of the present issue of the Abstract for specific titles of series
and the earliest year shown in the supplement.

Computed by Bureau of Human Nutrition and Home Economics on basis of estimates of apparent civilian
consumption (retail basis) including estimates of consumption from urban gardens, supplied by Bureau of
Agricultural Economics. N o deductions have been made in nutrient estimates for loss or waste in home or for
destruction or loss of nutrients during preparation of food. Deductions have been made for inedible refuse.
Data for iron, thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin include amounts of these nutrients added to white bread and
flour under enrichment program. 1947 and 1948 estimates assume that voluntary enrichment continues at
rate required under War Food Order, No. 1. For revised data, 1909 to 1948, see D ept, of Agriculture Misc.

Aliens or citizens arriving or departing by vessel or airplane at ports other than land
border ports of the United States are recorded on passenger and crew lists or manifests
by officials of the transportation companies, these lists or manifests being delivered to
the Immigration and Naturalization Service of the Department of Justice. Persons
going by land or air between Mexico or Canada and the United States are required to
enter or depart at land border stations where they are registered by officers of the
Immigration and Naturalization Service. Statistics of immigration and emigration
are prepared from these and other records by the Immigration and Naturalization
Service.
Immigration.—Although the reporting of alien arrivals was required at an early date
in certain of the colonies and original States, the continuous record of immigration to the
United States begins with the fiscal year ending September 30, 1820. Under the Act of
March 2, 1819, passenger lists for all vessels arriving from foreign places were to be
delivered to the local collector of customs, copies transmitted to the Secretary of State,
and the information reported to Congress. Immigration statistics were compiled by the
Department of State from 1820 to 1874 and by the Bureau of Statistics of the Treasury
Department from 1867 to 1895. Since 1892 there has been a separate office or bureau
of immigration, now a part of the Immigration and Naturalization Service. Annual
reports were issued by this bureau from 1892 to 1932. From 1933 to 1940, a summary
of the work of the Immigration and Naturalization Service was given in the Annual
Reports of the Secretary of Labor. For 1941, the Annual Report of the Attorney
General contained a report on immigration and naturalization. No report wa s pub
lished for 1942. For subsequent fiscal years, Annual Reports of the Immigration and
Naturalization Service (submitted by the Commissioner to the Attorney General)
were published in mimeographed form.
Since 1820 the official immigration statistics (see table 106) have changed consider­
ably in completeness and in the basis of reporting. The early figures were for arrivals
at Atlantic and Gulf coast seaports of the United States. Pacific coast arrivals were
first reported in 1850. Aliens arriving at Canadian seaports en route to the United
States were included after 1893. The reporting of arrivals over the land borders
began in 1904 and was gradually extended up to 1908. Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and
Alaska were treated as integral parts of the United States for purposes of immigration
and emigration statistics beginning in 1901, 1902, and 1904 respectively. Travel
between the Philippine Islands and the United States was not treated as immigration
or emigration between July 1, 1898 and May 1, 1934.
Prior to 1868 arriving alien passengers were recorded, thereafter immigrant arrivals
(i. e., omitting aliens coming for temporary stay). Subsequent to the passage of the
Act of 1891 which increased the number of excludable classes, the basis of reporting was
changed from arrivals to admissions (i. e., omitting aliens not permitted to enter the
United States), except for the period 1895 to 1897, inclusive, when the reporting of
arrivals was resumed.
Two classes of alien admissions are now reported, immigrant and nonimmigrant (see
table 107). Included in the nonimmigrant class are aliens admitted under section 3 of
the Immigration Act of 1924 (see table 113), returning resident aliens, students, and
others. An immigrant alien is defined as an alien, other than a returning resident,
admitted for permanent residence, under either quota or Nonquota status. Nonquota

IMMIGRATION, EMIGRATION, AND NATURALIZATION

immigrants admitted comprise immigrants born in Canada, Newfoundland, Mexico,
Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, the Canal Zone, and independent countries of
Central and South America, and their wives and unmarried children under age 18 if
accompanying or following to join such.immigrants; relatives of citizens of the United
States (wives, husbands, unmarried children under age 21); ministers and professors
who enter solely for the purpose of carrying on their vocations, and their wives and
unmarried children under age 18, if accompanying or following to join such ministers
and professors; and others. Certain temporary admissions such as of persons in
possession of border-crossing identification cards are not included either in the immi­
grant or nonimmigrant totals.
Emigration.—No official record of emigration was kept prior to July 1, 1907. Alien
departures are classified as emigrant and nonemigrant (see table 107). For statistical
purposes an alien emigrant is an alien resident of the United States departing with the
declared intention of residing permanently in a foreign country. The nonemigrant
category includes both alien residents of the United States departing for a temporary
sojourn abroad, and aliens leaving the United States after a temporary stay.
Naturalization.—Naturalization statistics for the United States began with the fiscal
year 1907. Prior to this time each court kept records of naturalizations but no national
data were compiled. The Act of June 29, 1906, effective September 27, 1906, pro­
vided for periodic returns by all courts conducting naturalization proceedings, and for
the filing with a central Federal agency of a duplicate copy of each declaration of inten­
tion and petition for naturalization filed, and of each certificate of naturalization
issued. Naturalization statistics were originally compiled by the Bureau of Immigra­
tion and Naturalization of the Department of Commerce and Labor, now the Immi­
gration and Naturalization Service of the Department of Justice.
Alien registration.—The Act of June 28, 1940, required the registration of all aliens
remaining in the United States (including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin
Islands) for a period of thirty days or longer. Aliens resident in the United States on
August 27, 1940, were required to register on or before December 26, 1940. Aliens
arriving subsequent to August 27, 1940, and not registered by the consul granting visas
were required to register within thirty days of arrival.
Historical statistics.—In this section, tabular headnotes (as “See also Historical
Statistics, series B 304”) provide cross-references, where applicable, to Historical
Statistics of the United States, 1789-1945. In that historical supplement to the
Statistical Abstract, statistics are carried back year by year as far as possible. Also a
detailed text statement indicates dates for which statistics of immigration from specific
countries were first recorded. See also the historical appendix of the present issue of
the Abstract for specific titles of series and the earliest year shown in the supplement.

5 . Crime and Criminals
Criminal justice is administered in the United States for the most part b y State and
local officers and agencies. The United States Constitution reserves to the States the
general police powers and only offenses against the United States Government or those
which involve the crossing of State lines or an interference with interstate commerce
can be made Federal offenses b y act of Congress. Consequently, unless they occur in
Federal territories or reservations, or on the high seas, or are committed b y members of
the armed forces, the usual criminal offenses such as murder, robbery, burglary, theft
assault, and rape are violations of State laws. There are fifty separate and distinct»
criminal law jurisdictions in the United States, one in each of the forty-eight States, one
in the District of Columbia set up b y act of Congress, and the Federal jurisdiction. Each
of these has its own criminal law and procedure and its own law enforcement agencies.
Y et the general system of law enforcement is quite similar from State to State. Of
course, there are among the States differences in detail and often substantial differences
in the penalties provided for like offenses.
The administration of criminal justice can be divided into three parts. The first
covers the activities of the police agencies, namely the investigation of crimes and the
apprehension of persons suspected of committing them. This function involves
agencies such as municipal police, county police, State police, sheriffs, constables,
marshals, Federal agents, and many kinds of special officers. The second phase of the
administration o f criminal justice is the prosecution of those charged with criminal
offenses to determine whether they are in fact guilty. The agencies concerned include
the courts, justices of the peace, municipal, State and Federal grand juries, and prosecut
ing court officers. The third division of criminal administration is concerned with the
punishment or treatment of those convicted of crime. While the courts usually
determine the sentence after conviction, the administration of the penalty is carried
out by prison, reformatory, jail, probation and parole officials.
Nearly all statistical data on crime and criminals are derived from the records and
reports of the various agencies engaged in the administration of criminal law. Police
statistics present the number of offenses reported, the number of persons arrested, and
the offenses cleared b y arrest. Arrest records provide data concerning sex, age, race,
and other characteristics o f the persons arrested and charged with crime. As the police
agencies are largely local, a real problem is involved in collecting statistical data from
the large number of such agencies. The Federal Bureau of Investigation obtains reports
from police agencies and publishes information for the country as a whole in its semi
annual bulletin, U niform Crime Reports. The great m ajority o f urban communities
are now reporting to the Federal Bureau and the reports received cover about three
quarters of the population o f the United States. Inform ation concerning offenses
known to the police and the sex and age of persons arrested are shown by offense
Tables 159-163 are taken from U niform Crime Reports. N o centralized inform ation
is available on the police activities of the Federal agencies. Some inform ation concern­
ing the work of each Federal agency will be found in its respective annual report.
Court statistics for the country as a whole showing the number of persons prosecuted
for criminal offenses and the outcom e o f the prosecutions are quite incomplete. In
many States, an annual or biennial publication presents data on the criminal cases
disposed o f in the trial courts. This information m ay be published b y the State Judicial
Council or the Attorney General or some other State agency. The only national com ­
pilation of such inform ation was that made b y the Bureau o f the Census which annually




133

CRIME AND CRIMINALS

134

published statistical data on criminal cases disposed o f in the general trial courts o f
from sixteen to thirty States including the District of Columbia. N o national collec­
tion is now made. Comprehensive information is collected on the work of the Federal
courts b y the Administrative Office of the United States Courts. Tables 164 and 166
are prepared from the data published b y that office.
Statistics of prisoners com m itted to penal institutions have been collected and
published for a longer period of time than have other criminal statistics. Nearly every
State publishes annual data either for the whole prison system or for each separate
State institution. A national compilation of data on prisoners in Federal and State
prisons and reformatories is made annually b y the Bureau of the Census. Statistical
inform ation covering persons received and discharged from State prisons and reforma­
tories in forty-six of the forty-eight States and from the District of Colum bia and
Federal prison systems is published annually in a comprehensive report. Tables
168-172 present data from these reports. The Federal Bureau of Prisons, in its annual
report, Federal Prisons, provides as complete statistical information on prisoners as has
been issued in this country. Tables 165 and 167 are from this source.
Inform ation concerning juvenile delinquents and juvenile delinquency and the
operation of many juvenile courts is collected and published b y the Children’s Bureau,
Social Security Administration, Federal Security Agency.
Inform ation on the prosecution and disposition of persons charged w ith misdemean­
ors and other minor offenses in the justice of the peace and municipal courts of the
country is not com piled at the present time. Statistical data on such prosecutions
m ay be found for some of the larger cities in the annual reports of the municipal court
or of the municipal government. Likewise, there is no general com pilation of statis­
tical data on persons confined to county jails and local workhouses. The Bureau of
the Census made a survey of jail prisoners for the calendar year 1933 and some infor­
m ation on incarcerated prisoners was published in connection with the 1940 decennial
census but there is at present no regular compilation covering this field.

[D ata from arrest records, evidenced by fingerprint cards received at F . B. I. during year, are limited to instances of arrests for violations of State laws and municipal 'ordinances.
Excludes fingerprint cards representing arrests for violations of Federal laws or representing commitments to any type of penal institution. D ata do not represent all persons
arrested, as fingerprint cards are not forwarded to Washington for every individual taken into custody. Arrest records in lower age groups probably incomplete because of practice
of some jurisdictions not to fingerprint youthful offenders]

C lim a te

Climatological data are gathered by the United States Weather Bureau at about
stations. Of this number nearly 3,000 stations have autographic precipitation
records, about 600 take automatic or hourly readings of a series of weather elements,
and the remainder record one observation a day.. There are few records in existence
for stations before 1871, although some earlier and less detailed records began in the
18th century. Data shown in these tables include long-time averages and extremes
of the several elements for the vicinities indicated. Where the station has moved,
but not out of the general vicinity, the data represent combined values for both the
previous and the new locations.
The following tables contain data from a list of cities selected to give a general
representation of the climate over the United States. The averages represent the
arithmetic means of the period of record at the station. Relative humidity averages
are based on 3 to 4 daily observations. The number of degree days as used in table
185 is the average monthly sum of the differences between 65° and the daily mean
temperatures below 65°, i. e. (65°-T°). Experience has shown that, in order to
heat buildings to a temperature of approximately 70°, the amount of fuel or heat
used per day is proportional to the number of degrees the average outside temperature
falls below 65°. The degree-day value is based on this assumption.

Acquisition of original public domain.—Recognition of its sovereignty over its
present continental land area was acquired by the United States Government through
a series of international agreements and treaties. The United States, however, did
not gain title to all of these lands by such agreements. At the time of acquisition of
sovereignty over the areas involved, title to about 463 million acres rested in individual
States and their political subdivisions or in private owners, which title was not re­
linquished to the Federal Government. Title to the remaining 1,442 million acres of
land area passed to the United States and, with the exception of lands in the District
of Columbia, is known as the original public domain. Any of such lands which the
Government has not disposed of under the public-land laws, are generally referred to
as public-domain lands or public lands.
In addition to the public domain, the United States Government has from time to'
time acquired, by purchase, condemnation, and gift, tracts of land needed for various
public purposes. Such lands are often referred to as acquired lands, to distinguish
them from public-domain lands. Complete statistics are not available as to the
extent of such acquisitions.
Public-domain lands.— Public-domain lands or public lands, as used here, refers to
those Federally owned lands to which the general body of public land lawT
s apply.
(See title 43, Code of Federal Regulations.) In general, it includes that portion of the
original public domain not disposed of under the public land laws, and certain other
lands declared by the Congress specifically to be public lands. As a general rule, it
excludes acquired lands, as defined above. The term Indian lands refers to that por­
tion of the public domain lands that was ceded to the United States by Indian tribes
on condition that part or all of the proceeds from their sale or other disposition would
be covered into the Treasury in trust for the Indians.
Entries, selections, patents, and certifications.—The data on entries, selections,
patents, and certifications refer to transactions which involve the disposal, under the
public-land laws (including the homfestead laws) of Federal public lands to nonFederal owners. In general, original entries and selections are applications to secure
title to public lands which have been accepted as properly filed. Some types of
applications, however, are not reported until the final certificate is issued.
Applications become final entries (perfected entries) upon issuance of a final certificate
which is given to the applicant after he has complied fully with the requirements of
the laws relating to his application. These Requirements may include, in particular
cases, settlement upon and improvement of the lands entered, or payment of statutory
fees or purchase money. A final certificate passes equitable title to the land to the
applicant. Patents are instruments which pass legal title to the lands to the applicant.
Certifications are issued in lieu of patents in connection with certain State selections.
Historical statistics.—In this section, tabular headnotes (as “See also Historical
Statistics, series F 1-7”) provide cross-references, where applicable, to Historical
Statistics of the United States, 1789-1945. In that historical supplement to the
Statistical Abstract, statistics are carried back year by year as far as possible. See
also the historical appendix of the present issue of the Abstract for specific titles of
series and the earliest year shown in the supplement.

Includes (a) persons at work—persons who worked for pay or profit at any time during the week of M ar. 24-30,
1940, in private work or nonemergency Federal, State, or local government work, or assisted without pay on a
family farm or in a family business; and (5) persons with a job bvt not at work—persons not actually at work and
not seeking work during the week of Mar. 24-30,1940, but with jobs, businesses, or professional enterprises from
which they were temporarily absent because of vacation, illness, industrial dispute, bad weather, or lay-off not
exceeding 4 weeks with definite instructions to return to work on a specific date. T he category Em ployed (except
on public emergency work) includes not only employees but also proprietors, farmers, other self-employeid persons,
and unpaid family workers.
3
Includes persons who, during the week o f M ar. 24-30,1940, were at work on, or assigned to, public emergency
work projects conducted b y the W ork Projects Administration (W P A ), the National Y outh Administration
(N Y A ), the CivilianConservation Corps (C C C ), or State or local work relief agencies. In the interpretation of
the data for persons on public emergency work, allowance must be made for the misclassification in the census
returns o f considerable numbers of public emergency workers. The number of persons reported in the census as
on public emergency work in the United States was 2,529,606, whereas the number recorded on the pay rolls of the
Federal emergency work agencies at about the time of the census was 2,906,196 excluding the N Y A Student W ork
Program, and 3,377,978 including that program. The most common type of misclassification was the reporting
of the emergency workers as A t work. Persons on the N Y A Student W ork Program were very frequently re­
turned as in school and not in the labor force. There is also evidence that a considerable number of emergency
workers were classified as Seeking work.
a Includes persons without work of any sort in the week of M ar. 24-30, 1940, who were seeking work during
that week. This category is composed of both experienced and new workers, the latter being persons who had not
previously worked full time for 1 month or more.

[Figures in thousands. Figures for 1930 in this table are estimates according to the 1940 employment status classi­
fication. An allowance was made in each age group for persons whose age was not reported in the 1930 census.
Figures for 1940 in this table show data adjusted to take account of the misclassification of public emergency
workers in the census returns (see note 2, table 200) and of persons whose employment status was not
reported in the census. Since the data in this table are not available by occupation, industry, race, or other
characteristics, or for areas other than the United States as a whole, it is necessary to use unadjusted figures
for the labor force in 1940 and for gainful workers in 1930 and earlier years, as shown in tables 200, 202-204,

1 Figures for 1900 to 1930 represent gainful workers, that is, persons reported as having a gainful occupation
in which they earned money or a money equivalent, or in which they assisted in the production of marketable
goods, regardless of whether they were working or seeking work at the time of the census. Figures are, therefore,
not strictly comparable with those in the labor force for 1940, shown in table 200 and in following tables.
a Including data for age unknown.

Sampling Note
T he sample used for the Current Population Survey (M onthly Report on the Labor Force) consists of approxi­
m ately 25,000 households living in 125 counties and independent cities grouped in 68 areas. The chances are about
19 in 20 that the relative sampling variability of the estimated totals presented from the labor force survey are less
than the following:

The percentages shown in this table represent the maximum differences to be expected between totals estimated
from the sample and those that would have been obtained by a complete census following the same procedures.
These percentages are them selves subject to variation in different time periods, particularly as the magnitudes
being estimated change in level. Estimates of change from one month to the next are subject to somewhat smaller
sampling variability for some of the items.
T he sampling variability indicated above is illustrative of the variability that is to be expected for other subjects,
such as urban-rural distributions, migration, occupation, education, marital status, race, family relationships,
income, etc. For specific evaluation of the sampling variability relating to these subjects, see the original releases
of the Bureau of the Census.

formerly worked full time for 1 month or more, see footnotes on table 200. Occupation figures shown below for
employed (except on public emergency work) refer to the occupation in which engaged during census week, and
are based on complete census returns. Occupation figures for remaining experienced labor force groups, not
shown separately m this table, refer to the occupation which the person regarded as his usual occupation and at
which he was still physically able to work, and are based on Sample B, see p. 1. Figures for “Experienced labor
force,” therefore, represent a summation of figures for current and usual occupation based on complete census
