This report provides statistical data on the social and economic condition of the Negro population of the United States. It shows the changes that have taken place during recent years in income, employment, education, housing, living conditions, and health. Also included are data on population distribution, characteristics of families, military and voting characteristics, and conditions in low-income areas. This report was issued jointly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Bureau of the Census.
Census statistics date back to 1790 and reflect the growth and change of the United States. Past census reports contain some terms that today’s readers may consider obsolete and inappropriate. As part of our goal to be open and transparent with the public, we are improving access to all Census Bureau original publications and statistics, which serve as a guide to the nation's history.
