Agriculture, mortality, and social statistics schedules are available for the census years of 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880. Manufacturing schedules are available for 1820, 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880. They are arranged by state, then by county, and then by political subdivision (township, city, etc.). These schedules can add "flesh" to the bones of ancestors and provide information about the communities in which they lived.
For more information on the availability of social statistics schedules and the agriculture and manufacturing censuses, see the National Archives Web page Nonpopulation Census Records.
Schedules of business are available for 1935 for advertising agencies, banking and financial institutions, miscellaneous enterprises, motor trucking for hire, public warehousing, and radio broadcasting stations. Information specific to the 1935 enumeration is available from the National Archives Nonpopulation Census Records: 1935 Census of Business Roll Lists.
