This report provides statistical data on the social and economic conditions 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 updates Report No. 24 in this series providing year-end totals for 1967 or mid-year 1968 data which were unavailable when that report was issued in October 1967.
A Note on Language
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.
