Report Number Supplementary Report PC (S1)-52
This report presents a compilation of data from the 1960 Census on the distribution of the Negro population in the United States. Table 1 shows data for regions, divisions, and States; table 2 shows figures for counties. Both tables give the total, nonwhite, and Negro population and the percent change in the Negro population between 1950 and 1960.
All areas shown are as defined in April 1960. For Alaska, data on the Negro population are not available for 1950. For Hawaii, data on the Negro population for 1950 are available for the State total but not for counties.
The tables are based on data which appear in the separate State parts of U.S. Census of Population: 1960, Volume I, Characteristics of the Population, and U.S. Census of Population: 1950, Volume I, Characteristics of the Population.
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.
