1. Enumeration, tabulation, and publication of future state and federal censuses of The City of New York in terms of the map of sanitary districts used in taking and tabulating its 1920 census. 2. Such interpretation and study of the population of The City of New York as may be of service to its municipal, philanthropic, religious, and business organizations, including necessary special tabulations of its population data outside the regular activities of the Census Bureau. 3. Developing so far as possible the common use of sanitary district units, or multiples of them, for the study and service of its neighborhoods, by public and private agencies of all boroughs of The City of New York; working for the publication, as early as possible, of a year-book of the city's progress in that direction; and stimulating similar activities in other cities. 4.

POPULATION OF THE CITY OF N E W YORK, 1890-1930

EDITOR'S FOREWORD In contrast to "Greater New York, 1920", published by this Committee in 1923, and in equal contrast to "Greater New York, 1910", published by the New York Federation of Churches in 1913, each of which contained detailed tabulations, by census tracts, of a single census of the City of New York, this volume contains tabulations of population in this city; in twenty-mile and fifty-mile regions centred at City Háll; and in six areal groupings of the Nation's whole territory. These tabulations extend backward to the Federal Census of 1790, and even, in regard to the growth of the city and its fifty-mile region, to that of 1790. The volume includes data from all Federal Censuses, 1790-1930, and from New York State Censuses of 1855-1925. Its main purpose, however, is to present, for New York City, population data for the years 1890 to 1930 ; in more detail, for the years 1900 to 1930; and, in greatest detail, for the years 1905 to 1930, — t h e quarter century of the life of the city, as now constituted, during which census tract population data have been accumulating. Full population data for 1890 are not readily available, for the reason that the City of New York, as now existing, dates from 1898. Nevertheless the census taken but eight years preceding the legal creation and consolidation of New York's five boroughs is manifestly the census with which its population analysis should be begun, granted only that population data additional to the mere item of the total of its inhabitants can be had from Washington. The Census Bureau has not only estimated and published the total population for each borough for the year 1890, but furnished the editor, in 1902, with a special tabulation of the nativity of the foreign-born of 1890. The Bureau itself published nativity for 1890, in Vol. I of the Census of 1910. One of the reasons for the adoption of 1890, rather than of 1900, for the dates given in the title of this publication, was to reach back to the census in which the percentage of thè Nation's foreign-born living in New York City's limits reached its lowest level. This was the Census of 1890. The decade, 1891-1900, restored that proportion to 125 of every 1,000 immigrants in the Nation, — the same proportion as in 1860. In the decade, 1881-1890, New York City retained a smaller proportion of the incoming tide of immigrants than in any decade following the Census of 1850, — the first Federal Census to enumerate the Nation's foreign-born. This volume presents its material under six general sections: I. II. III. IV. V. VI.

The City of New York, its Region and the Nation. Population Changes in Census Tracts, 1905-1930. The Breakup of Congestion, 1905-1930. The Nativity and Color of the City's Population, 1890-1930. The Religious Composition of the City, 1855-1930. Distribution by Age-Periods of the City's Population, 1855-1930.

An appendix gives twelve population tables, 1930, for the city, and for the five cities of over 100,000 population which lie within a region of twenty miles from New York's City Hall. The Census Tract system should be extended, before the enumeration and tabulation of the 1940 Census, to these five cities: — Newark, Yonkers, Jersey City, Paterson and Elizabeth, — and the object of the inclusion of their data, Tables 78-90, and also in Table 9, is to promote that end. "Greater New York, 1920", was published by a corporation whose charter limited its activities to a single census and a single city, "The New York City 1920 Census Committee". Cities Census Committee, Inc., publisher of the present volume, was chartered to continue the census tract system of NewYork City and also to extend the system to cities of over 100,000 population within fifty miles of New York's City Hall, and assist the institution of the system in all American cities of over 100,000 population. Limits of publication space forbid any detailed attention to the 87 cities of over 100,000 population outside a region of fifty miles radius from City Hall, but the volume contains, in terms of the six areal groupings of the Nation employed herein, some summaries of the size of population and the composition of population, particularly in regard to nativity, of these 87 cities. The editor acknowledges, with gratitude, the many helpful suggestions which have been made by the Publication Committee to improve the contents of the volume. On behalf of that committee and their associates in the membership of Cities Census Committee, Inc., I tender heartfelt thanks to the Director of the Census, Hon. William M. Steuart, for his permission to use, in advance of its publication by the Bureau, the age-classification of 1930 for New York City which, in full, is included in the tables. My thanks are returned also to Drs. Leon E. Truesdell and C. E. Bats'chelet for their ready response to requests for special information.

POPULATION OF THE CITY OF N E W YORK, 1890-1930 Section I. THE CITY OF NEW YORK, ITS REGION AND THE NATION

The "Nation", wherever used on the table and chart captions of this publication, is an abbreviated equivalent of "Continental United States". The forty-eight states which are represented in the Senate of the United States, with the District of Columbia, constitute the territory whose population is herein classified in the seven "areas" mapped on page nine. Chart 1, page 10, and Table 1, page 11, — and their successors, — are captioned in accord with this designation of the "Nation". The eight "outlying territories ajid possessions" of these United States, — Alaska, American Samoa, Guam, Hawaii, Panama Canal Zone, Philippine Islands, Porto Rico, Virgin Islands of the United States, — are areas whose inhabitants, if locally born, should be, as they are, included, as "native", in the "State of Birth" table of the population of the City of New York, (Table 58), but the "Nation", as used herein, designates "Continental United States" only.

T H E CITY AND THE

NATION

Chart 1 exhibits the continuous increase, since 1790, except in the decades 1810-1820, 1870-1880, of the proportion of the Nation's population resident within New York City's present bounds. This experience raises, the presumption of further growth. The basis for predicting what that growth may be is to be found in the data set forth in Chart 1 and Table 1. This body of figures furnishes a trustworthy basis for making computations of population for the remaining years of the century. Included in the elements of such computations should be the population progress and proportions of other areas of the Nation, including, first of all, Area 6, — New York State outside the limits of the City of New York, — and Area 1, — the Trans-Mississippi States. The population of the City of New York exceeded the population of the remainder of New York State, for the first time, in 1910, and the State of New York, including this city, then had 9.91 percent of the Nation. This proportion fell, in 1920, to 9.83 percent, but rose, in 1930, to 10.25 percent, while the proportions of Area 2 of the Nation, of Area 3, and of Area 5, were declining, and that of Area 1 increasing even more rapidly than that of New York State as a whole. If New York City, Area 7, is to have, in 1990, as much as 5.64 percent of the Nation, as it had in 1930, what will the proportion of the Nation in New York State be in 1990? Chart 1 and Table 1, again, invite an answer. Will not the population of Area 1 some day exceed the population of the states east of the Mississippi River? has over 70 percent of the Nation's territory. Does this not have a bearing on the future size of New York City?

Area 1

New York City should begin to think of its ultimate size in terms of the proportion of the Nation resident within the city's bounds, and within its region. Independent estimates of the maximum expected population of a region within fifty miles of New York City, made by responsible experts, for the year 1970, vary from 14,890,000 to 22,840,000 persons. New York City itself is predicted to reach a population of 11,892,000 in that year. (See pp. 109, 116, Vol. II, "Regional Survey of New York and Environs.") Responsible experts now estimate that the Nation will reach a maximum and approximately stationary population of 150,000,000 to 160,000,000 about the year 1970. If New York of 1970 continues to contain but 5.64 percent of the Nation, its population will then be only 9,024,000. If its region has 14,790,000 population in 1970, it must have 9.31 percent of the Nation of that time, as above estimated. OTHER CITIES O F THE NATION AND STATE

The growth, since 1890, of the Nation's cities of over 100,000 population, by areas, appears in Table 2. It may be noted that such cities, in 1920, in Area 1, had a proportion of the Nation's population lower than New York's, but now exceed New York. The cities of Area 4 are also in excess. See Chart 2. Cities of 25,000-100,000, by areas, appear in Table 4. New York State's cities of over 10,000 are presented in Table 6, and the percent of the Nation and State represented by their populations of 1920, 1925, and 1930 are summarised at the foot of that table. Cities of 10,000-25,000, in New York State, are growing more rapidly than are its cities of 25,000-100,000. REGIONAL MAPS

The map of New York and Environs on page 22 appears by the courtesy of the Regional Plan Association, and the tables and charts which follow it deal with the percentage of the Nation represented by the population of the Association's Fifty-mile Region, and supplement the tables of the Association's publication by material drawn from State Censuses of New Jersey, and New York State's Censuses of 1905 and 1915. See, particularly, Chart 5. The map of the New York — Northeastern New Jersey Metropolitan District, page 30, is taken from the Census Bureau's "Metropolitan Districts, 1930", and the sex, color, nativity and age tabulation of the district's population, pages 31-38, is precisely parallel to that of Section II of this publication, pages 85-178, for the census tracts and statistical areas of New York City. A map of a Region of Twenty-mile radius from New York's City Hall appears on page 39. This map, originally prepared by the Federation of Churches, was reproduced by the Newark Board of Trade, through the Hon. Calvin Tompkins, in its advocacy of the creation of the Port of New York Authority, over a quarter of a century ago. Is New Jersey growing more rapidly toward Philadelphia than toward New York?

Chart 11 supplies an answer.
