United States Census 1810

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1810 United States Census was the third census in the United States since 1790 . As a result of the census, a population of 7,239,881 inhabitants was determined for the USA on August 6, 1810, of which 1,191,362 were slaves . Louisiana was a new addition to the census .

The data contain information on the name of the head of the family, number of free white persons (men and women; according to age groups as in 1800), number of free persons, number of slaves, city or district and place of residence or residential district.

The 1810 census data in Georgia , Mississippi , New Jersey , Ohio, and Tennessee and the District of Columbia were lost.

The state population figures from the 10-year United States censuses are key to determining the number of representatives from those states in the United States House of Representatives . The adjustment is usually made in the next but one Congress after a census.
