The 1910 United States census, conducted by the Census Bureau on April 15, 1910, determined the resident population of the United States to be 92,228,496, an increase of 21 percent over the 76,212,168 persons enumerated during the 1900 census.

This was the last census in which Texas did not record any top 50 largest cities by population, despite being the 5th most populous state at the time.

It was also the first census in which all the top 50 largest cities had population over 100,000.

The 1910 census was the first to use metropolitan districts, the predecessor to modern metropolitan statistical areas, which were defined for all cities with at least 200,000 people.

[1] Dr. Edward Dana Durand, then-head of the Bureau of Corporations, was appointed in 1909 to oversee the census.

The column titles in the census form are as follows:

Number of dwelling house in order of visitation.

NAME of each person whose place of abode on April 15, 1910, was in this family.

Whether able to speak English; or, if not, give language spoken.

Trade or profession of, or particular kind of work done by this person, as spinner, salesman, laborer, etc., 19.

General nature of industry, business, or establishment in which this person works, as cotton mill, dry goods store, farm, etc.

Whether as employer, employee, or work on own account.

Whether a survivor of the Union or Confederate Army or Navy.

The original census enumeration sheets were microfilmed by the Census Bureau in the 1940s; after which the original sheets were destroyed.

[8] The microfilmed census is available in rolls from the National Archives and Records Administration.

Several organizations also host images of the microfilmed census online, along with digital indices.
