- Record History
Federal census takers were asked to record information about all those who were in a household on the census day, which was April 15 for the 1910 census. A census taker might have visited a house on a later date, but the information collected was supposed to have been about the people who were in the residence on the census day. The basic census enumeration unit was the county. Each county was divided into enumeration districts, one for each enumerator. The completed forms were then sent to the Census Office of the Commerce Department in Washington, D.C.
In the 1940s, after microfilming the schedules for 1910, the Commerce Department destroyed the originals. Microforms of the originals are well preserved at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.
The 1910 census covers 95 to 97 percent of the population.
