1930: 1930 Census
built 501 days ago
The 1930 Census was a watershed mark in American history. It came at a time when the population of the United States had been swelled by immigration and when both the Depression and the advent of new technologies were rapidly changing the quality of life. The 1930 Census was the last census that asked residents if they could read or write and it was the first to ask if a household owned a radio. It ... recorded the service of veterans in American wars. The Census Bureau has compiled interesting data and photographs that place the Census in its historical context. Other FAQs, including what questions were asked on the 1930 Census form, are answered at the Ancestry.com website.

The official start date for this census was April 1, 1930. Given the restriction of keeping census information private for 72 years, this set the official access date for release at April 1, 2002.
