1950 Census of Population: Volume 2. Characteristics of the Population
1950 Census of Population: Volume 2. Characteristics of the Population
This volume, in 54 parts, presents statistics on the size, distribution, and characteristics of the total population of the United States. Some summary data for the several States, Territories, possessions, etc., are also provided.
The major portion of the information compiled from the Census of Population of 1950 is contained in Volume I and Volume II, Characteristics of the Population. These final volumes first appeared in the form of three series of State bulletins:
- Series P–A, “Number of Inhabitants”
- Series P–B, “General Characteristics”
- Series P–C, “Detailed characteristics”
Population Volume II comprises all three series of bulletins series P–A, P–B, and P–C. This volume is divided into U.S. Summary part, a part for each State, and parts for the Territories and possessions, each part comprising the three bulletins for that area.
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.
