The 1930 Census was the 15th national census conducted in the United States, taking place on April 1, 1930. It aimed to count the population and gather demographic information, including age, sex, race, and occupation. This census recorded over 123 million people, reflecting the nation’s growth during the 1920s. The 1930 Census was significant for its detailed questions, which included inquiries about home ownership and whether families had a radio. The data collected helped inform government policies and resource allocation during the Great Depression, providing a snapshot of American life at that time.
