The United States census of 1900, conducted by the Census Office on June 1, 1900,[1] determined the resident population of the United States to be 76,212,168, an increase of 21.01% from the 62,979,766 persons enumerated during the 1890 census.
The census saw the nation's largest city, New York City, more than double in size due to the consolidation with Brooklyn, becoming in the process the first U.S. city to record a population growth of over three million.
The 1900 census collected the following information:[2]
address
name
relationship to head of family
sex
race (listed as "Color or race" on the census)
age, month and year born
marital status and, if married, number of years married
for women, number of children born and number now living
place of birth of person, and their parents
if foreign born, year of immigration and whether naturalized
occupation
months not employed
school
ability to speak English
whether on a farm farmer
home owned or rented, and, if owned, whether mortgaged
Full documentation for the 1900 census, including census forms and enumerator instructions, is available from the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series.
Data availability
The original census enumeration sheets were microfilmed by the Census Bureau in the 1940s, after which the original sheets were destroyed.[3] The microfilmed census is available in rolls from the National Archives and Records Administration. Several organizations also host images of the microfilmed census online, and digital indices.
