Introduction
Population tables present data showing number of inhabitants by districts and areas in 1940, 1930, 1920, and 1912; and the population by districts, areas, and minor divisions in 1940.
The section devoted to composition and characteristics presents statistics for the population of the Panama Canal Zone classified according to sex, race, age, school attendance, education, nativity, place of birth, dwellings, citizenship status, marital status, family relationships, occupations, hours of work, weeks worked in 1939, and duration of unemployment.
A Note on Language
Census statistics date back to 1790 and reflect the growth and change of the United States. Past census reports contain some terms that today’s readers may consider obsolete and inappropriate. As part of our goal to be open and transparent with the public, we are improving access to all Census Bureau original publications and statistics, which serve as a guide to the nation's history.
