INTERNAL MIGRATION (Series C 1-87)

C 1-73. General note.

Data concerning internal migration of the native population

are based on information concerning State of birth and State

of residence collected during the decennial censuses of popu

lation. Caution is required in the interpretation of these data

because the migration measured by each census is the net

movement from the time of birth to the census date. Mi

grants as defined here include only those persons who have

moved from one State to another and are, on the census date,

living in States other than those in which they were born.

Persons who moved from their State of birth and then returned

to it by the time of the census are classified as nonmigrants.

These statistics for migrants do not represent the total num

ber of persons who have moved from the State or geographic

division in which they were born to other States or divisions

during any given period of time. Some of those who moved

from one State to another died before the following census

date. Some moved from and returned, between censuses, to

their State of birth. Others moved to places outside conti

nental United States.

A native is defined as a person born in continental United

States, Puerto Rico, or the Territories or possessions, or born

abroad to American parents. Persons for whom place of birth

was not reported are included with the natives.

The classification of the population by color is not ordinarily

based on replies to census questions asked by the enumerators,

but rather is obtained by observation. This concept does not,

therefore, reflect a clear-cut definition of biological stock. The

nonwhite population consists of Negroes, American Indians,

Japanese, Chinese, Filipinos, and some other groups. Per

sons of mixed parentage are placed in the color classification

of the nonwhite parent. Persons of Mexican birth or ances

try who are not definitely Indian or of other nonwhite stock

have been classified as white in all censuses except that of

1930. The lack of comparability introduced by this factor is

substantial in the West South Central, Mountain, and Pacific

Divisions. For revised 1930 figures for regions showing Mexi

cans classified as white, see series B 215-230 in Historical

Statistics of the United States, 1789-1 9J,5.

The estimates of net migration were obtained by a residual

method, using survival ratios derived from census data. The

loss through mortality during an intercensal period was esti

mated on the basis of the ratios of appropriate age groups as

enumerated in successive decennial censuses. The difference

between the enumerated population at the end of the decennial

period and the estimated survivors from the beginning to the

end of the period was assumed to be net migration. Compu

tations were by age groups for each sex, the figures presented

in series C 25-73 being summations for ages 10 years and over

at the end of each intercensal period. For the native popula

tion, the figures show the estimated amount of net internal

migration. For the foreign born, the figures represent the

estimated net change attributable to direct movement into the

State from abroad and the net gain or loss in the exchange of

foreign-born residents with other States.

Estimates of the total farm population and of the annual

changes in its components utilize data from the censuses of

population and agriculture and the Current Population Survey

conducted by the Bureau of the Census in addition to data from

a questionnaire mailed by the Department of Agriculture to

lists of crop reporters. Estimates of the components of change

are derived from information supplied by the crop reporters

and death figures and data on movements in and out of

the Armed Forces. For a history of the procedures used and

the successive revisions of the series, see Department of Agri

culture, Major Statistical Series of the U. S. Department of

Agriculture, vol. 7, Agricultural Handbook No. 118, 1957.

Farm population figures relate to the civilian population liv

ing on farms, regardless of occupation or source of income.

The determination of whether a household is located on a farm

has been made largely by the residents themselves. If the

respondent in reply to the inquiry, "Is this house on a farm

(or ranch)?" answers affirmatively, it is, in most cases, classi

fied as a farm dwelling unit and the occupants as part of the

farm population. Excluded are the following: Persons living

on farmland who rent for cash a home and yard only; persons

in summer camps, motels, and tourist camps; and persons in

institutions on farmland.

population one year old and over, 1947-1957.

Source: Bureau of the Census, Current Population Reports,

Series P-20, No. 82.

The civilian population was classified by mobility status on

the basis of a comparison between the place of residence of

each individual on the survey date and the place of residence

one year earlier. Persons classified as movers include all those

whose place of residence in the United States was different at

the end of the period and at the beginning of the period.

INTERNATIONAL MIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION (Series C 88-283)

C 88-151. General note.

The continuous record of immigration to the United States

began in 1819, under the Act of 1819, which required the cap

tain or master of a vessel arriving from abroad to deliver to

the local collector of customs a list or manifest of all passengers

taken on board. This list was to designate the age, sex, and

occupation of each passenger, "the country to which they sev

erally belonged," and the number that had died on the voyage.

Copies of these manifests were to be transmitted to the Sec

retary of State, who reported the information periodically to

Congress. Subsequently, the Act of 1855 prescribed quarterly

reports to the Secretary of State and annual reports to Con

gress. Later acts have continued to require the collection of

such information.

Although the reporting of alien arrivals was required by the

Act of 1798, which expired two years later, the number arriv

ing before 1819 is not known. William J. Bromwell, in his

History of Immigration to the United States, 1856 (pp. 18-19),

estimated the number of passengers of foreign birth arriving

here from the close of the Revolutionary War to 1819, at

250,000. This estimate was used by the Bureau of Statistics

which later compiled the official statistics of immigration.

Immigration statistics were compiled by the Department of

State for 1820-1870; by the Treasury Department, Bureau of

Statistics, for 1867-1895; and since 1892, by a separate Office

or Bureau of Immigration, now a part of the Immigration and

Naturalization Service. For 1892-1932, the Bureau of Immi

gration issued annual reports. For 1933-1940, the data were

summarized in the Annual Report of the Secretary of Labor;

for 1941, they were issued in the Annual Report of the Attor

ney General; for 1942, no report was published; and for subse

quent years, the statistics appeared in the Annual Report of

the Immigration and Naturalization Service.

Since 1820 the official immigration data have undergone

many changes in the reporting area covered. During the first

decades only arrivals by vessel at Atlantic and Gulf ports were

reported. Arrivals at Pacific ports were first included in 1850.

During the Civil War the only Southern ports that reported

were those controlled by the Federal Government. Later the

reporting area was expanded to include arrivals at outlying

possessions. Arrivals in Alaska were first reported in 1871,

but only irregularly thereafter until 1904, after which Alaska

was regularly included among the places of entry. Arrivals in

Hawaii were first included in 1901, Puerto Rico in 1902, and

the Virgin Islands in 1942.

Counting arrivals at the land borders was not required by

the early immigration acts, and the counting of such arrivals

did not approach completeness until after 1904. For 1820-

1823, a few arrivals by land borders were included. Complete

reporting was attempted in 1855 with only partial success,

was interrupted for several years by the Civil War, and was

discontinued in 1885. Beginning in 1894, European immigrants

who arrived at Canadian ports with the declared intention of

proceeding to the United States were included in the immigra

tion statistics. Some immigration was reported at land border

stations established in 1904. More stations were opened in

the following years, but reporting of land border arrivals was

not fully established until 1908.

The statistical treatment of Canadian and Mexican immi

grants at times has differed from that of other immigrants.

When reporting of arrivals by land borders was discontinued

in 1885, regular reporting of Canadian and Mexican arrivals

by vessel was also discontinued; however, a few Canadian and

Mexican immigrants were reported in most of the following

years. Arrivals of Canadians and Mexicans by land borders

began to be reported in 1906, and reporting was fully estab

lished in 1908 under authority of the Act of 1907, which pro

vided for the inspection of Canadians and Mexicans at the

land borders.

Not all aliens entering via the Canadian and Mexican borders

are counted for inclusion in the immigration statistics. Before

1930, no count was made of residents of a year or longer of

Canada, Newfoundland, or Mexico who planned to remain in

the United States less than 6 months. For 1930-1945 the fol

lowing classes of aliens entering via the land borders were

counted and included in the statistics of immigration:

(1) Those who have not been in the United States within

6 months, who come to stay more than 6 months; (2) those

for whom straight head tax is a prerequisite to admission,

or for whom head tax is specially deposited and subsequently

converted to straight head tax account; (3) those required

by law or regulation to present an immigration visa or re

entry permit, and those who surrender either, regardless of

whether they are required by law or regulation to do so;

(4) those announcing an intention to depart via a seaport of

the United States for Hawaii or insular possessions of the

United States, or for foreign countries, except arrivals from

Canada intending to return thereto by water; and (5) those

announcing an intention to depart across the other land

boundary.

These classes were revised in 1945 so that the statistics of

arriving aliens at land border ports of entry for 1945-1952 in

cluded (1) arriving aliens who came into the United States for

30 days or more; and (2) returning alien residents who had

been out of the United States more than 6 months. Arriving

aliens who came into the United States for 29 days or less

were not counted except those certified by public health offi

cials, aliens held for a board of special inquiry, aliens excluded

and deported, and aliens in transit who announced an intention

to depart across another land boundary, or by sea.

Since 1953, all arriving aliens at land border ports of entry

are counted and included except: (1) Canadian citizens and

British subjects resident in Canada who were admitted for 6

months or less; (2) Mexican citizens who were admitted for

72 hours or less in the United States; and (3) returning

residents who had been out of the United States for more than

6 months. Beginning with February 1956, residents returning

from stays in Western Hemisphere countries of less than 6

months have not been counted. Because of changes in regula

tions in 1957, returning residents without reentry permits or

visas who have been abroad for 1 year or less are not counted.

Persons who cross the land borders for brief periods (border

crossers) are not included in the immigration and emigration

statistics, but the Immigration and Naturalization Service

publishes statistics on alien and citizen border crossers in the

Annual Report.

INTERNATIONAL MIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION C 88-114

Arrivals in and departures from the Philippine Islands were

recorded in the port tables for 1910-1924, but were not included

in the total immigration data. For 1926-1931, such arrivals

and departures were obtained annually from the Bureau of

Insular Affairs, War Department, and published in separate

tables. The Immigration Service has no records since 1932

of arrivals in, or departures from, the Philippine Islands to

foreign countries.

Data on aliens admitted to continental United States from

insular possessions have been compiled since 1908 but are not

included in the immigration totals. Aliens admitted from

Hawaii and Puerto Rico have been reported continuously since

1908. Aliens admitted from the Philippine Islands were re

ported from 1908-1934, but since then all arrivals from and

departures to the Philippine Islands have been included with

data from other foreign countries. Aliens admitted from the

Virgin Islands have been recorded since 1917. The departure

of aliens from the mainland to Hawaii and Puerto Rico was

first recorded in 1918. Records are available since 1918 of

aliens passing between insular possessions. Data on aliens

from Guam are available since 1929; Samoa, since 1932. Rec

ords of United States citizens' arrival in continental United

States from insular possessions, and in insular possessions from

continental United States and other insular possessions, are

available since 1920.

Definition of terms. For 1820-1867, immigration totals

(compiled by the Department of State) were shown as alien

passenger arrivals, but may have included alien passengers who

died before arrival, and did include, for 1856-1867, temporary

visitors among arriving alien passengers. For the 12-year

period, the temporary visitors constituted about 1% percent

of the alien passenger arrivals.

For 1868-1891, the Bureau of Statistics immigrant arrival

figures (excluding temporary visitors), were reported. Since

1892, official immigration data have been compiled by the Office

of Immigration (and its successors) and for 1892-1895 its

totals were 7 to 8 percent lower than those for the Bureau of

Statistics for that period. The difference is largely attributable

to the limitation of the Office of Immigration figures to alien

steerage passengers; cabin class passengers were not again

included as immigrants until 1904. A further difference was

that the Bureau of Statistics figures were for arrivals and

those of the Office of Immigration were for admissions.

For 1895-1897, the Office of Immigration readopted arrivals

and the figures include the 2,419 aliens debarred in 1895, the

2,799 in 1896, and 1,880 in 1897. In later years, the immigra

tion data were further refined to exclude aliens in transit

through the United States (1904), and resident aliens return

ing from a visit abroad ( 1906) .

In 1906 arriving aliens were divided into two classes: Immi

grants, or those who intended to settle in the United States,

and nonimmigrants, or admitted aliens who declared an inten

tion not to settle in the United States, and all aliens returning

to resume domiciles formerly acquired in the United States.

The official record of emigration began in 1907. It was

made possible by the Immigration Act of 1907, which required

all steamship companies carrying departing aliens to furnish

manifests similar to those required for arriving aliens.

For 1908-1932, aliens arriving in or departing from the

United States were classified as follows: Arriving aliens with

permanent domicile outside the United States who intended to

reside permanently in the United States were classed as immi

grants ; departing aliens with permanent residence in the United

States who intended to reside permanently abroad were classed

as emigrants; all alien residents making a temporary trip

abroad and all aliens residing abroad making a temporary trip

to the United States were classed as nonimmigrants on the

inward journey and nonemigrants on the outward. Permanent

residence was defined as a residence of 1 year or longer.

(Annual Report of the Commissioner General of Immigration,

1908, p. 6.)

Since 1933, aliens arriving in or departing from the United

States have been classified as follows: Immigrants are non

resident aliens admitted to the United States for permanent

residence; they are further classified as quota immigrants, or

those admitted under established quotas from European coun

tries, Asia, Africa, and the Pacific, and colonies, dependencies,

and protectorates of European countries; and nonquota immi

grants, i.e., natives from the independent countries of the

Western Hemisphere, their wives and unmarried children un

der 18 years of age; wives, husbands, and unmarried children

of citizens of the United States; ministers and professors who

enter to carry on their professions, and their wives and chil

dren; and others. Since 1952 (Immigration and Nationality

Act) , professors have been removed from the nonquota classes.

Husbands as well as wives of ministers and of natives of

independent countries in the Western Hemisphere may be ad

mitted as nonquota.

Nonimmigrants are alien residents of the United States re

turning from a temporary visit abroad, or nonresident aliens

admitted to the United States for a temporary period. In

cluded in this group are visitors, transients, treaty traders

(treaty investors since December 1952), students, foreign

government officials, officials to international organizations,

wives and unmarried children of these groups, and agricultural

laborers from the West Indies (and from Japan since 1957).

Excluded are travelers between the United States and insular

possessions, commuters and others who frequently cross the

international land boundaries, and agricultural laborers from

Mexico and Canada.

Emigrants are aliens who have resided in the United States

for a year or longer and who are leaving the United States

for a permanent residence abroad. Nonemigrants are resident

aliens of the United States who are leaving the United States

for a temporary period abroad, or nonresident aliens of the

United States who have been in the United States for less than

a year and who are returning to permanent residence abroad.

Except for returning alien residents, the definition of immi

grants used in the statistical tables resembles the legal defini

tion given above. Under the law, returning alien residents are

classed as nonquota immigrants, whereas in the statistics they

are defined as nonimmigrants.

The definitions of immigrant and emigrant, nonimmigrant

and nonemigrant, have to some extent impaired the reliability

of net immigration figures. While an immigrant is admitted

for permanent residence, he may change his mind and depart

prior to residence of 1 year, in which case he is counted as an

immigrant on arrival and a nonemigrant on departure. An

alien who comes for a temporary visit and fails to depart

within a year is classed as a nonimmigrant on arrival and an

emigrant on departure.

residence. Owing to changes in the list of countries separately

reported and to changes in boundaries, data for certain coun

tries are not comparable throughout. Under the provisions

of the Immigration and Nationality Act, subquotas of 100 each

were established for colonies or dependencies, to be charged

against the quota of the mother country. Because of these

provisions, since January 1953, statistics have been compiled

for each colony or dependency having a subquota.

The principal changes in reporting immigrants by country

since 1820 are shown in the detailed listing below.

C 89-100. Immigration from Europe, 1820-1957.

Source: See source for series C 88-114.

Since 1820, territorial transfers in Europe have to a certain

extent impaired the comparability of immigration statistics

from that continent. Data for Austria-Hungary were not re

ported until 1861. Austria and Hungary have been reported

separately since 1905. For 1938-1945, Austria is included with

Germany. Bulgaria, Serbia, and Montenegro were first re

ported in 1899. In 1920 Bulgaria was reported separately,

as was the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (identified

as Yugoslavia since 1922). Prior to 1925 Northern Ireland

was included with Ireland (Eire). The figures for Norway

and Sweden were combined from 1820-1868, but since 1869

each country has been reported separately. Poland was re

corded as a separate country for 1820-1898 and since 1920.

During 1899-1919 Poland was included with Austria-Hungary,

Germany, and Russia. There is no record of immigration from

Rumania prior to 1880.

International transfers in territory following World War I

resulted in the establishment of several countries. In 1920,

Czechoslovakia, Finland, Poland, and the Kingdom of Serbs,

Croats, and Slovenes (designated as Yugoslavia in 1925) were

added to the immigration lists; in 1924, Albania, Estonia,

Latvia, and Lithuania were added; in 1925, the Free City of

Danzig and Luxembourg were added.

The Immigration Act of 1924, which established quotas for

all independent countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the

Pacific has effected a further change in the immigration lists

of countries. This change, however, was not fully felt until

1931. In that year Andorra, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Monaco,

and San Marino were added to the European countries, and

the Russian Empire was classified into European Russia (desig

nated as U.S.S.R. in Europe since 1947) and Siberia, or Asiatic

Russia. The principal effect of the 1924 Act, however, was in

the extension of the lists of Asian, African, and Western

Hemisphere countries.

In 1950, Bessarabia and the northern portion of Bukovina

were included in the U.S.S.R. instead of in Rumania. The

Dodecanese Islands were included in Greece instead of Italy.

The Free Territory of Trieste, formerly a part of Italy and

Yugoslavia, was established as an independent country.

C 101-105. Immigration from Asia, 1820-1957.

Source: See source for series C 88-114.

China and India are the only countries in Asia for which the

records of immigration to the United States date back to 1820.

A few immigrants from Japan were recorded in 1861, 1866,

and 1867, but complete records for Japan begin in 1869.

Figures for Turkey in Asia are available since 1869. Data

on some immigration from Arabia are recorded for 1876-1895;

from Armenia for 1874-1895; and from Persia for 1871-1895.

For 1896-1923, immigration from Asia included only China,

India, Japan, Turkey in Asia, and "other Asia." In 1924,

Syria was added, and in 1925 Armenia, Palestine, and Persia

(Iran) were added to the lists of Asian countries. Since 1934

Armenia has been included in Russia. In 1931 Siberia, or

Asiatic Russia, was separated from European Russia, and Iraq

and Siam (Thailand) were added to the lists.

In 1945, the classification of country in the country-of-birth

statistics (on which the Quota Law is based) was adopted for

the immigration statistics. This change resulted in the addi

tion to the immigration lists of Afghanistan, Arabian Peninsula,

Bhutan, Muscat, Nepal, Saudi Arabia, and Asiatic colonies,

dependencies, and protectorates of European countries. Since

1948, the following countries have been added to the immigra

tion lists: (1948) Burma, Ceylon, Jordan, Korea, and Pakistan;

(1949) Israel (formerly included with Palestine), Lebanon (for

merly included with Syria), and Yemen; (1950) Indonesia;

(1952) Bonin Volcano Islands, Ryukyu Islands, Cambodia, and

Laos; (1957) Formosa.

C 106-109. Immigration from America, 1820-1957.

Source: See source for series C 88-114.

Prior to 1920 Canada and Newfoundland were recorded under

country of last permanent residence as British North America.

Combined figures are available for Canada and Newfoundland

for 1920-1924; for 1925-1948 each was reported separately.

Since 1950, Newfoundland has been included in Canada.

Statistics of European immigrants arriving in Canada en

route to the United States have been available since 1894.

For 1894-1906, the data refer principally to European aliens

arriving at Canadian Atlantic and Pacific ports en route to the

United States. Inspection of Canadians and Mexicans was first

authorized by the Act of 1907, and 1908 is, therefore, the first

complete year for which all immigration via the land borders

was recorded.

Immigration from Mexico has been recorded for 1820-1885

and for 1894 to the present. Immigration statistics for the

West Indies have been available since 1820. For 1820-1860

there was no classification of the West Indies, by country.

For 1860-1898, some immigration was recorded from Antigua

(1873-1895), Bahamas (1871-1895), Barbados (1869-1895),

Bermuda (1861-1895), Cuba (1869-1898), Curacao (1873-

1895), Haiti (1869-1895), Jamaica (1869-1895), Puerto Rico

(1869-1895), Saint Croix (1871-1895), Saint Thomas (1872-

1895), and Trinidad (1874-1895). For 1899-1924, there again

was no classification by country of immigration from the West

Indies. Immigration from Cuba has been separately recorded

since 1925; from the British West Indies, Dominican Republic,

Dutch West Indies, French West Indies, and Haiti since 1931;

and from Bermuda since 1945. For detailed data, see Annual

Report of Commissioner General of Immigration for each year,

1892-1932. Since January 1963, all countries in the West

Indies have been reported.

Immigration from Central America has been recorded since

1820, but not by country during most of that period. Separate

statistics are available for 1895-1898 for Guatemala, Honduras,

Nicaragua, and Salvador; and for 1895-1897 for Costa Rica.

British Honduras was also enumerated separately for 1874-

1910. With the above exceptions, only figures for total immi

gration were available for Central America until 1925. Immi

gration has been reported separately from British Honduras

since 1925, and from the Canal Zone, Costa Rica, Guatemala,

Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, and Salvador since 1931.

Immigration from South America has also been reported in

total since 1820 but, with the following exceptions, not by coun

try until 1925. For 1869-1895, separate enumerations were

made for Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guiana, Peru, and

Venezuela; and for 1871-1895 for the Argentine Republic. Sep

arate figures for Brazil have been again available since 1925;

Source: See source for series C 88-114.

Immigration from Africa has been recorded since 1820, but,

with few exceptions, was not classified by country until 1931.

There is record of some immigration from Liberia in 1829,

1839, 1844, and for 1857-1893; Algeria, 1872-1894; Egypt,

1869-1895; and South Africa, 1869-1895. For 1890-1924, only

immigration for continental Africa was reported. Immigration

from Egypt was again recorded in 1925. Immigration from

Ethiopia (Abyssinia), Liberia, Morocco, and Union of South

Africa, has been recorded since 1931. In 1945 "other Africa"

was classified into Cameroons (British Mandate), Cameroons

(French Mandate), Ruanda and Urundi (trust territory, Bel

gium), South-West Africa (Mandate of the Union of South

land (British Mandate), Togoland (trust territory, France),

and colonies, dependencies, or protectorates of Belgium,

France, Great Britain, Italy, Portugal, and Spain.

Since 1945, the following countries have been added: 1953:

Libya and Somaliland (Italian administration), and Southern

Rhodesia. Eritrea, which was federated with Ethiopia, was

included with Ethiopia. 1957: Ghana (composed of British

territories, Gold Coast and British Togoland), Sudan, and

Tunisia.

C 111-113. Immigration from Australasia, 1870-1957.

Source: See source for series C 88-114.

Immigration from Australia was recorded separately in 1822,

1839-1840, and for most of the years 1854-1898. For 1899-

1924, a combined total was recorded for Australia, Tasmania,

and New Zealand, and since 1925 Australia has been again

reported separately. Separate figures for New Zealand are

available for 1870-1890. For 1891-1893, New Zealand was in

cluded in "all other countries"; for 1894-1898 in "Pacific

Islands, not specified," and for 1899-1924 with Australia and

Tasmania. Separate figures for New Zealand have again been

available since 1925.

The following countries were added to the immigration lists

of the Pacific in 1945: Nauru (British Mandate); Territory of

New Guinea including appertaining islands (Australian Man

date) ; Western Samoa (New Zealand Mandate) ; Yap and other

Pacific Islands under Japanese Mandate; and colonies, depend

encies, or protectorates of France, Great Britain, Japan, Neth

erlands, and Portugal. In 1952, the Pacific Islands (trust ter

ritory, U. S. administration) were added.

C 115-132.- Immigrants, by major occupation group, 1820-1957.

ization Service.

The major occupation groups for 1820-1898 include the fol

lowing categories: Professional—occupations which involve a

liberal education or its equivalent and mental rather than man

ual skills; commercial—agents, bankers, hotelkeepers, manufac

turers, and merchants and dealers; skilled—occupations requir

ing special training of a manual rather than mental nature.

A "farmer" is one who operates a farm, either for himself or

for others; a "farm laborer" is one who works on a farm for

the man who operates it. The "no occupation" group includes

dependent women and children, other aliens without occupation,

and aliens whose occupations were not stated.

Although the data are shown in broad occupation groups,

the instructions for compiling statistics specified that the occu

pation should be described as precisely as possible. For ex

ample, civil engineer, stationary engineer, mining engineer,

brass polisher, steel polisher, iron molder, wood turner, etc.,

should be so described, and not entered simply as engineer,

polisher, molder, turner, or other indefinite designation.

In 1945 the Immigration and Naturalization Service adopted

the major occupation groups as shown in the Sixteenth Census

of the United States, Alphabetical Index of Occupations and In

dustries. It also grouped occupations of immigrants for 1899-

1944 (compiled in unpublished records) as closely as possible

into the new groups. Since 1951, occupations have been coded

and grouped in accordance with the definitions in U. S. Census

of Population: 1950, Alphabetical Index of Occupations and

Industries.

The occupation figures include all immigrants, those with

and without work experience. The "no occupation" group in

cludes housewives, unemployed, retired persons, students, chil

dren under 14 years of age, aliens with no occupation, and

occupation unknown or not reported.

1933-1957, data are from Immigration and Naturalization

Service, records.

Some of the published estimates have been revised because

of apparent printing errors in the source.

The age groups used to classify immigrants have changed a

number of times since 1820, thereby impairing to a certain

extent their comparability. For 1820-1898, the classification

was: Under 15 years, 15 to 40, and over 40 years. In addition,

the age of nearly 250,000 immigrants, or 4 percent of the

total, for 1820-1866 was not reported.

For 1899-1917 the age classification was: Under 14 years,

14 to 44, and 45 years and over; for 1918-1924 it was under 16

years, 16 to 44, and 45 years and over.

Although only three age groups were generally used before

1925, a more detailed classification was used for 1910-1924 for

single females: 15 to 19 years, 20 to 24, 25 to 29, and 30 to 34

in 1910; 14 to 21 years, 22 to 29, 30 to 37, and 38 to 44 for

1911-1917; 16 to 21 years, 22 to 29, 30 to 37, and 38 to 44

for 1918-1924.

In 1925 the age classification was enlarged from 3 to 6

groups: Under 16 years, 16 to 21, 22 to 29, 30 to 37, 38 to 44,

and 45 years and over. In 1940, it was enlarged to 12 groups,

with a lower limit of under 11 years, 5-year age groups until

60, and an upper limit of over 60 years. In 1945, it was

further enlarged into 5-year groups, with a lower age limit

of under 5 years and an upper open-end limit of 100 years and

over.

Although the Act of 1819 required that arriving immigrants

be recorded by sex, these data were not satisfactorily com

piled before 1869. (See Senate Doc. No. 756 cited above, p. 5.)

The earlier reports of the Secretary of State to Congress con

tain partial data on this subject, and in 1911 the Immigration

Commission compiled these data to show the approximate sex

distribution for 1820-1867. Therefore the percentages given

in series C 134 cannot be reduced to numbers. Moreover, the

data are not complete, as in most years sex was not reported

for a considerable number of immigrants; but on the whole

the percentages may be accepted as fairly representative of

the sex distribution in the years considered.

C 139-151. Annual quota and aliens admitted, by classes,

1925-1957.

Source: Annual Reports of Immigration and Naturalization

Service and Presidential Proclamations on quotas.

For 1925-1929, the annual quota (series C 139) of 164,667

was based on 2 percent of the foreign-born residents in the

United States as determined by the 1890 Census. The present

"national origin" formula for determining quotas, which has

not changed since 1929, provides that the annual quota equal

one-sixth of one percent of the number of white inhabitants

in continental United States in 1920, less Western Hemisphere

immigrants and their descendants. The annual quota for any

nationality for each fiscal year is the number which bears the

same ratio to 150,000 as the number of inhabitants in conti

nental United States in 1920 having that national origin bears

to the number of inhabitants in continental United States

in 1920, but the minimum quota for any nationality is 100.

Changes in quotas since 1929 have been due chiefly to

changes in territorial boundaries of quota areas and to the

establishment of new quotas for countries that have become

independent.

The classes presented in these series are legal classes of ad

mission, as defined in the Act of 1924, and the Immigration

and Nationality Act of 1952. Returning resident aliens, who

have been counted before as immigrants, are included with

nonimmigrants.

In general, statistics on aliens admitted have been derived

from manifests or entry documents. Changes in regulations

extending documentary waivers for nonimmigrants entering

via the Canadian or Mexican border, or from adjacent islands,

have impaired comparability of the nonimmigrant statistics.

For example, the figure on nonimmigrant admissions dropped

in 1953 because beginning with 1953, the nonimmigrant figures

have excluded, with certain exceptions, Canadian citizens and

British subjects resident in Canada who were admitted for 6

months or less. In prior years the nonimmigrant figures ex

cluded entries over the Canadian border for 29 days or less.

The reduction in the number of returning residents in 1956

and 1957 may be attributed to changes in regulations extend

ing documentary waivers to resident aliens returning from

stays in Western Hemisphere countries of less than 6 months.

The waiver has recently been extended further to returning

residents who have been abroad less than 1 year.

Service, 1957, pp. 46, 50.

C 153, aliens deported. Undesirable aliens who have vio

lated certain immigration laws may be expelled or deported

under formal deportation proceedings. Deportation of alien

contract laborers within one year after entry was authorized

by the Act of 1888. Deportation statistics, however, have

been compiled only since 1892, shortly after enactment of the

Act of 1891, which provided for the deportation of all aliens

who entered unlawfully. The classes of deportable aliens were

extended by subsequent acts and are now defined in the Immi

gration and Nationality Act of 1952. The principal deportable

classes are criminals (including violators of narcotic laws),

immoral classes, mental or physical defectives, public charges,

subversives, and those who entered illegally or failed to main

tain or comply with the conditions of admission.

C 154, aliens voluntarily departing. An alien may con

cede deportability and be permitted to depart voluntarily

at his own expense. Statistics on aliens voluntarily depart

ing have been recorded only since 1927.

C 155, aliens excluded. Prior to 1882, various State laws

were enacted excluding from admission to the United States

undesirable aliens such as paupers, felons, and diseased

aliens. The first Chinese exclusion law was passed in 1882.

Lunatics, idiots, and persons likely to become public charges

were first excluded by the Act of 1882.

Statistics on aliens excluded were first compiled in 1892,

shortly after passage of the Act of 1891, which extended the

classes of excludable aliens. Subsequent acts, principally the

Immigration Act of 1917, and the Immigration and Nationality

Act of 1952, extended these classes further. At present, the

principal classes excluded are attempted illegal entries, crim

inals (including violators of narcotic laws), immoral persons,

subversive or anarchistic persons, and mental or physical de

fectives.

C 158-170. General note.

Prior to 1906, individual courts kept records of naturaliza

tions, but no national data were compiled. The Act of 1906

required all courts conducting naturalization proceedings to

file with a central Federal agency a copy of each declaration

of intention and petition of naturalization filed and of each

certificate of naturalization issued.

For 1907-1912 naturalization statistics were compiled by the

Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization. For 1913-1932

they were compiled by the Bureau of Naturalization. For

1933-1940, they were given in the Annual Reports of the Secre

tary of Labor and for 1941 in the Annual Report of the Attor

ney General. No report was published in 1942. For subse

quent years, the statistics appeared in Annual Reports of the

Immigration and Naturalization Service.

Section 331 of the Nationality Act of 1940 provided that an

applicant for naturalization after reaching the age of 18 years

must make under oath, not less than 2 nor more than 7 years

prior to his petition for naturalization, a signed declaration

of intention to become a citizen. This section contained sub

stantially the requirements of the Basic Naturalization Act of

1906 concerning the declaration of intention. The Immigration

INTERNATIONAL MIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION C 159-169

and Nationality Act of 1952, which repealed the Nation

ality Act of 1940, provides that a declaration of intention may

be filed, but it is not a prerequisite to naturalization. In a

number of States, in order to obtain employment, a license,

etc., an alien applicant must prove that he intends to become

a citizen. The law permits the filing of a declaration to show

such intent.

Prior to 1930 the number of declarations of intention was

far in excess of the number of aliens naturalized. This was

due mainly to the failure of many aliens to file a petition for

naturalization within the prescribed time limit, as well as the

denial of a number of petitions for naturalization. In most of

the years since 1930 the number of aliens naturalized has ex

ceeded the declarations filed, because of the increasing number

of persons who were exempted from the general requirements

for a declaration of intention.

Since 1907, a number of laws have been passed exempting

special classes of persons from the general requirement of a

declaration of intention. Most of these laws were codified

into the Nationality Act of 1940. Included among such ex

empted classes were noncitizen spouses of United States citi

zens; certain former citizens; noncitizens who, because of

misinformation, erroneously exercised the rights of citizen

ship; noncitizens who, at the time of entering the United

States, were under 16 years of age; certain noncitizens

who served honorably in the United States Armed Forces or

on certain vessels ; and certain noncitizen children.

C 159. Aliens naturalized, 1907-1957.

Source: See source for series C 158.

"Aliens naturalized" are aliens upon whom naturalization

was conferred in the United States by a naturalization court

or outside of the United States by a representative of the

Immigration and Naturalization Service. The total number of

aliens naturalized includes both civilian and military natural

izations.

The statistics of aliens naturalized do not include the follow

ing groups: Repatriations under section 323 of the Nationality

Act of 1940 of former citizens of "the United States who lost

citizenship by entering the armed forces of allied countries

during World War I, and former citizens who lost citizenship

of the United States by voting in a political election in a

foreign state (other than a state at war with the United

States during World War II) ; repatriations of women who

were citizens at birth but who lost or were believed to have

lost citizenship through marriage to an alien and whose mar

riages were terminated; repatriations under the Act of 1936,

as amended, of native-born women who lost citizenship by

marriage; and repatriations of persons who lost citizenship by

voting in a political election or plebiscite in Italy (Act of 1951)

and in occupied Japan (Act of 1954).

Separate statistics on these repatriations are compiled by

the Immigration and Naturalization Service which also com

piles statistics on certificates of derivative citizenship granted

and denied, expatriations and certificates of naturalization

revoked, and petitions for naturalization denied.

"Country of former allegiance or nationality" is the country

of which the alien at the time was a citizen or subject. Data

on the number of aliens naturalized, by country or region of

former allegiance, have been compiled only from 1922. Owing

to changes in the list of countries separately reported and to

changes in boundaries, data for certain countries are not com

1923 are shown for individual series below.

C 162, Northwestern Europe. Includes the British Empire,

Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxem

from 1951, and included in "all other" (series C 169). See

text for series C 166, C 168, and C 169 for former British

territories.

C 163, Central Europe. Includes Germany, Poland, Czecho

1938-1947, Austria was included with Germany. For 1923-

1932, Yugoslavia was recorded as the Kingdom of Serbs,

Croats, and Slovenes.

C 164, Eastern Europe. Includes the Union of Soviet Social

ist Republics, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Finland, Rumania,

Bulgaria, and Turkey. For 1923-1928, Latvia and Estonia

were included with Russia. For 1923-1927, Lithuania com

Turkey are included in Eastern Europe.

C 165, Southern Europe. Includes Greece, Italy, Spain,

Portugal, and, for 1929-1957, "other Europe," which com

prises Albania, the Free City of Danzig, Liechtenstein, San

Marino, Monaco, Andorra, and, since 1950, Trieste. For 1923-

1928, "other Europe" was recorded under the "miscellaneous"

group of countries and is included with "all other" (C 169).

C 166, Asia. For 1923-1927, Asia was included under "all

other" (C 169). The Asian countries reported separately and

the beginning dates are shown below:

See also general note for series C 158-170.

Statistics on petitions denied have been compiled since 1907.

The Basic Naturalization Act of 1906 and subsequent naturaliza

tion laws specified the eligibility requirements for naturaliza

tion. Petitions for naturalization of aliens who fail to meet

the prerequisites for naturalization may be denied by the

courts at the final naturalization hearing. Included among

the reasons for denial are lack of knowledge and understanding

of history, principles, and form of government of the United

States, failure to establish good moral character, lack of at

tachment to the Constitution of the United States, inability to

speak (read, write) the English language, failure to establish

lawful admission to the United States or to meet residence

requirements, etc.

In the early laws the right to become naturalized was limited

to white persons, and petitions of persons of ineligible races

were denied. Gradually such restrictions were removed with

respect to Negroes, Filipinos, races indigenous to North and

South America and adjacent islands, Chinese, and Guamanians.

In 1952, the Immigration and Nationality Act removed all

racial restrictions to naturalization. Japanese aliens in the

United States were the largest class of aliens that benefited

by this law.

The classification of citizenship by the Bureau of the Census

embraces the two major categories, citizen and alien. Citizens

are subdivided into native and naturalized. Aliens are sub

divided into those having first papers (that is, having made

formal declaration of intention to become citizens of the United

States) and those not having first papers. In addition to the

citizen and alien categories, there is a third group made up

of foreign-born persons for whom no report on citizenship was

obtained, designated as "citizenship not reported" or "unknown

citizenship." Since it is likely that most of these persons are

aliens, they are often included in summary figures for total

aliens. The population 21 years old and over is also given

separately by citizenship, in order to show the number of po

tential voters.

These statistics relate to the citizenship status of the popu

lation at the date of the specified decennial census.

Country of Origin of Foreign Stock, p. 10; 1950, U. S. Census

of Population: 1950, vol. IV, Special Reports, Nativity and

Parentage, p. 3A-75.

A native is defined as a person born in continental United

States, Puerto Rico, or the Territories or possessions, or born

abroad to American parents. Persons for whom place of birth

was not reported are included as native. The nativity of

parents was defined in the same way as it was for the indi

vidual.

Persons of foreign parentage are allocated to the country

of birth of the foreign parent. The classification by country

of birth of parents is, of course, subject to the same limitations

and may be presumed to be less accurate than the classification

of the foreign born by country of birth.

The definition of country of birth of parents is similar to

that used in series C 218-283, below, with several important

exceptions. The classification by country of birth of parents

for 1930 and later years is made on the basis of boundaries

existing at the date of the specified decennial census. The

1920 data on country of birth of parents, however, are based

on pre-World War I boundaries because of the difficulty of

obtaining correct replies on the basis of postwar boundaries

for parents of persons enumerated. The procedure differs

from that used for series C 218-283 where the boundaries

used for 1920 and for all other years were those in existence

at the time of the census.

C 218-283. Foreign-born population, by country of birth, 1850-

1950.

Source: 1850-1930, total foreign born, Fifteenth Census Re

ports, Population, vol. II, p. 233; 1910-1940, foreign-born white,

Sixteenth Census Reports, Population, vol. II, part 1, p. 43;

1950, foreign-born white, U. S. Census of Population: 1950,

vol. IV, Special Reports, Nativity and Parentage, p. 3A-71.

The foreign-born population comprises all persons born out

side the United States or any of the outlying possessions,

except certain persons whose parents at the time of their

birth were American citizens. Persons born in any of the

outlying Territories or possessions, and American citizens born

abroad or at sea, are regarded as native.

The statistics on country of birth are generally based on

the political boundaries of foreign nations existing at the date

of the specified decennial census. Because of boundary

changes following World War I and World War II, accurate

comparisons over the entire period, 1850-1950, can be made

for relatively few countries. These countries include England,

Scotland, Wales, Norway, Sweden, Netherlands, Switzerland,

Spain, Portugal, Canada (total of Canada-French, other, and

Newfoundland), and Mexico. For several other countries, as

for example, Italy, France, and Belgium, the figures are slight

ly affected by boundary changes; but these changes have not

been so great as to destroy entirely the value of comparative

figures. The boundaries of other countries, as for example,

U.S.S.R., Austria, Hungary, Rumania, and Greece, have been

so changed that comparisons over time are subject to a large

margin of error.

Statistics on country of birth of the foreign born have gen

erally been restricted to those countries which had at the time

of the census a separate political entity. For 1860-1900, how

ever, an exception was made in the case of Poland. Although

Poland was not restored to its original status as an inde

pendent country until the end of World War I, its historical

position was such that Polish immigrants generally reported

Poland as their country of birth regardless of the political

sovereignty over their birthplace. For 1860-1890, persons re

ported as born in Poland were so tabulated without qualifica

tion. In the Census of 1900 an attempt was made to dis

tinguish Austrian, German, and Russian Poland, and separate

statistics for each were presented. In the Census of 1910,

persons reported as born in Poland were assigned either to

Russia, Germany, or Austria. The figures for 1910, however,

have been adjusted on the basis of mother tongue data, to

conform as nearly as possible to the conditions in 1930.

Since World War I, the greatest difficulties encountered in

the tabulation of country-of-birth statistics has been the classi

fication of persons born in the former Austro-Hungarian Em

pire. Many persons born within the prewar boundaries of

this Empire could not or did not give to the enumerator the

information needed for the determination of their country of

birth on the basis of postwar geography. It is therefore quite

possible that some persons were assigned to Austria who were

really born within the present areas of either Czechoslovakia

or Yugoslavia, and that persons were assigned to Hungary who

were born within the present areas of Rumania or Yugoslavia.

Similarly, it is possible that some persons born in Latvia, Es

tonia, or Lithuania were assigned to Russia. Persons for

whom Austria-Hungary was reported in the 1960 Census

were allocated on the basis of surname to the various countries

created out of the territory of the old empire after World

War I. Even with this procedure, however, there appears to

be some indication that Austria and Hungary are overreported

at the expense of Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia. In 1950

the situation was further complicated by the fact that, although

there were extensive de facto boundary changes as a result of

World War II, only a small number of these changes were

officially recognized by the United States at that time.
