This publication is supplementary to the main report on families (Volume VI), which contains statistics on foreign-born white families, not classified by country of origin.
The tables are grouped by the United States, Divisions and States, and principal cities. The same groups are used for Mexican, Indian, Chinese, and Japanese families.
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.
