Recensement d’État, New York, États-Unis, 1905

New York a commencé à effectuer des recensements en 1825 dans le but de déterminer la représentation dans le gouvernement fédéral et de fournir à ce dernier des statistiques qui pourraient lui être utiles. Entre 1825 et 1875, l’État a effectué un recensement tous les dix ans, un autre en 1892, puis à nouveau tous les dix ans entre 1905 et 1925. Les recensements d’État comme celui de 1905 peuvent être très utiles. Ils sont en effet effectués entre les années des recensement fédéraux et fournissent un aperçu intérimaire de la population.

New York began taking formal state censuses in 1825 both to determine representation in state government and to produce statistics the government might find useful. The state took a census every 10 years from 1825 through 1875, another in 1892, and then every 10 years again from 1905 to 1925. State censuses like the 1905 census are useful because they fall in between federal census years and provide an interim look at a population.

The 1905 census asked for the following details:

street address, city/town, county, and election district
name of each person whose usual place of abode on 1 June 1905 was in this family
relationship to the head of household
color/race
gender
age at last birthday
nativity
number of years in the United States
citizenship status
occupation
for residents of institutions, residence given upon admission
