• Source: S10 Author: United States Title: 1880 United States Federal Census Publication: Name: National Archives and Records Administration; Location: Washington, D.C.; Date: 1880; NOTETenth Census of the United States, 1880. (NARA microfilm publication T9, 1,454 rolls). Records of the Bureau of the Census, Record Group 29. National Archives, Washington, D.C. CONT CONT The 1880 census is a valuable tool in part because it is the only U.S. census available for the last two decades of the 1800s. Most of the original 1890 population schedules were destroyed in a fire at the Commerce Department in 1921. Less than one percent of the schedules—records enumerating only 6,160 individuals—survived. CONT CONT The 1880 census began on 1 June 1880 for the general population of the United States. The enumeration was to be completed within thirty days, or two weeks for communities with populations of 10,000 or more. Regardless of when an individual was contacted, all responses were to reflect the status of the individual as of 1 June 1880, the official Census Day. CONT CONT Thirty-eight states (including the recently admitted Colorado) were enumerated in the 1880 census, along with eight territories: Arizona, Dakota, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. Non-organized Alaska was also enumerated, but the "Indian Territory" (now Oklahoma) was not enumerated for non-Indians. CONT CONT Enumerators (census takers) collected the following information for each household: Address (name of the street; house number); Occupant (name of each person and their relationship to head of family); Personal (sex, race, age, marital status, ability to read and write, birthplace, and birthplace of parents); Occupation (trade or profession; number of months unemployed); Health (whether blind, deaf and dumb, crippled, maimed, idiotic, insane, bedridden, or otherwise disabled) CONT CONT The 1880 census was the first to identify an individual’s relation to the head of household. In addition, the 1880 census was the first to identify the state, county, and other subdivisions; the name of the street and house number for urban households; illness or disability at the time the census was taken; marital status; number of months unemployed during the year; and the state or country of birth of every individual’s father and mother. CONT CONT Also, this is the first U.S. census to use "Indian" as a race classification. Indians not taxed are not in regular population schedules. Some may appear in special Indian schedules.
