Sources: 2010 American Community Survey (ACS) 1-year estimates; 2010 Census and 1940 Census.

The 1940 Census came at a momentous time in our nation’s history — as we recovered from the Great Depression and not long before our entry into World War II. It was also the first census that looked deeper into the details of American life.
