I wonder why it was eliminated after 1950?
I wonder why it was eliminated after 1950?
**********************************
I’m going solely on (potentially faulty) memory, but I think it was moved to the “long form” version where they ask more detailed questions for something like every sixth household. And that would yield statistically valid national count results when extrapolated.
In any case, it wasn’t actually eliminated until the 2010 census when the Obama Globalists removed it.
It is my guess that by 1950 the percent of non-citizens was so small that it no longer made sense to collect the data.
From 1870 until 1930 there were a lot of legal immigrants to the United States.
As those immigrants became naturalized citizens, there would be fewer and fewer non-citizens living in the USA.
“””I wonder why it was eliminated after 1950?”””
By the way, in 1950 there were 151.3 million people living in the United States.
I have been searching the US Census websites trying to find the number on NON-CITIZENS included in the 151.3 million people living in the United States in 1950.
So far I have been unable to find the data. The Census folks seem to be hiding the information.
