Download pdf [ - 1.1 MB]

This report presents statistics from the 1960 Census of Population on the number of inhabitants and the characteristics of the population of the United States, each State, counties, urban places, and certain types of areas. Comparable statistics from earlier censuses are also presented in this report.

The major portion of the information compiled from the 1960 Census of Population is contained in Volume I, Characteristics of the Population, which consists of the 57 numbered parts listed on page IV. The parts for the United States, each of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico are bound in 53 individual books (Parts 1 - 53); the four parts for Guam, the Virgin Islands of the United States, American Samoa, and the Canal Zone are bound in a single book (Parts 54 - 57).

The detailed tables presented in each numbered part of Volume I were originally published in four separate reports. Those reports (which correspond to chapters A, B, C, and D) were identified by the following series designations and titles:

PC(1)-A, Number of Inhabitants
PC(1)-B, General Population Characteristics
PC(1)-C, General Social and Economic Characteristics
PC(1)-D, Detailed Characteristics

For Guam, Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and Canal Zone, the material normally contained in the PC(1)-B, C, and D reports was included in PC(1)-B.

Part A of Volume I is a compendium of the 57 series PC(1)-A reports. It presents in a single book, for library and other reference use, the 1960 Census population counts for States and their component areas.

The PDF to the right contains the 9-page Title Page, Preface, Acknowledgement, and Contents for Volume I, Part 1, United States Summary.

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.
