1960 Census: Population, Subject Reports, Women by Number of Children Ever Born: Fertility of Women by Social, Economic, and Housing Characteristics
1960 Census: Population, Subject Reports, Women by Number of Children Ever Born: Fertility of Women by Social, Economic, and Housing Characteristics
The final reports of the 1960 Population Census are arranged in three volumes and a joint Population-Housing series of census tract reports. Volume II (Series PC(2) reports) are Subject Reports. Each report concentrates on a particular subject. Detailed information and cross-relationships are generally provided on a national and regional level. In a few reports, data for States or standard metropolitan statistical areas are also shown.
This report, designated as PC(2)-3A, presents national, regional, and State statistics on the fertility of women in terms of their number of children ever born, by demographic, social, and economic characteristics of the women and their families. Most of the statistics are based on a 5-percent sample, but some are based on a 25-percent sample, and a few on a 4-percent sample, as specified in the headnotes of the tables.
The PDF to the right contains the Title Page, Preface, Acknowledgments, Final Reports (list), Contents and Introduction.
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.
