Census to Count
ps In Housing
On April 1, some 140,000 Census
takers will begin a canvass-of about
45 million American dwelling units
occupied by more than 150 million per
sons. This ' survey will show that
there are approximately 20 million
more persons in. the United States
than-in 1940, and estimates point to an
increase of around 8 million dwelling
units over the 37,325,470 reported to
the Bureau of the Census, U. S. De
partment of Commerce, in 1940.
People with purchasing power con
stitute our consumer markets and in
this sense the American market has
expanded more rapidly irf the past 10
years than in any comparable period
in the nation's history. For con
sumer durable goods, the family is
considered the buying unit, since these
goods are used by all members of the
household. The combination of war
and post-war prosperity during the
last deacde has seen marriage records-
soar to new heights, 'increasing
the nation's families by more-than 6
nlfllion. .t Business men throughout the
country will find this population
growth a tremendous new and largely
unanticipated market i
The 1950 Census of Housing goes
much farther than merely counting
and reporting on types, structural
character, condition, ownership, value,
mortgage status, rent, bath facilities,
water supply and toilets. lofotinalion
also will be collected by the Census
takers ; on household facilities : and
equipment, such as heating,- equip
ment, heating fuel used, electric light
ing, type of refrigeration, kithcen
sink type of fuel for cooking, radio
and television.
The 1950 data gathered 'by Cen
sus tracts will include information for
families and family income in addition
to statistics previously reported.
Moreover,.- business statistics, par
ticularly those relating to retail trade,
can also be made available for com
binations of tracts in those cities
where agreement is reached on the
combinations to be made. For the
first time, it should be possible on a
relatively large scale to correlate for
small areas within metropolitian areas
statistics on total population, family
income, and retail stores and sales
classified by broad kinds of business
groups. The 'same type of detail also
will be available regarding the shift
ing importance of downtown shopping
areas, secondary shopping areas, and
outlying suburban areas. . ..
for the first time in census history,
statistics will be presented for ap
proximately 2,000 unincorporated
places. These places, representing
population agflomerations of a thou
sand or more persons iwill identify an
important market of approximately
4 million persons. Unincorporated
places having 2,500 or more inhabi
tants will also be classified as urban.
The gigantic task of tabulating and
publishing information obtained in
the Censuses of Population, Housing,
and Agriculture will begin as soon as
reports are sent to the Census "Bureau
by its field offices. (Data of interest
to those businesses concerned with
housing and home equipment will be
tabulated 'and published for areas as
small as census tracts. It is antici
pated by the Census Bureau that final
publication of the housing statistics
will have been completed b ymid-year
of 1951. Some of the data will, how
ever, be available earlier in 1951.
In ftuMishintr -the Census of Hous
ingJ bulletins, the Census (Bureau has
adopted a new procedure designed to
simplify the use of the statistics. It
i& planned ' to , publish a voluma for
each state, whereas in 1940, similar
information was published by subject.
;,The, many requests received; each
year by the Census Bureau or new
information indicate that 'business
executives have been using Census
data in an increasingly important
way. The five major Census enter
prises now in various stages of com-
