Перепись 1860 года в США была восьмой переписью, проведенной в Соединенных Штатах, начиная с 1 июня 1860 года и продолжавшейся пять месяцев. Он определил, что население Соединенных Штатов составляет 31 443 321 человек. [1] в 33 штатах и 10 организованных территориях. Это увеличение составило 35,6 процента. [1] более 23 191 876 [2] человек, учтенных при переписи 1850 года . Общая численность населения составляла 3 953 760 человек. [3] рабы.
К тому времени, когда результаты переписи 1860 года были готовы к подведению итогов, страна погружалась в Гражданскую войну в США . В результате суперинтендант переписи населения Джозеф Кеннеди и его сотрудники подготовили лишь сокращенный набор публичных отчетов без графических или картографических изображений. Статистика действительно позволила сотрудникам переписи населения составить картографическое представление, включая подготовку карт южных штатов, для полевых командиров Союза. На этих картах были отображены важные в военном отношении темы, в том числе белое население, рабское население, преобладающая сельскохозяйственная продукция (по округам), а также железнодорожного и почтового маршруты транспорта.
В результате этой переписи Филадельфия вернула себе позицию второго по численности населения американского города, которую она уступила Балтимору в 1820 году из-за Акта о консолидации 1854 года , объединившего множество более мелких окружающих поселков, таких как Спринг-Гарден , Нортерн-Либертис и Кенсингтон . в главный город Филадельфии. В 1890 году Филадельфия уступит позицию второго по численности населения американского города в пользу Чикаго .

Data availability[edit]
Full documentation for the 1860 population census, including microdata, census forms and enumerator instructions, is available from the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS). Aggregate data for small areas, together with compatible cartographic boundary files, can be downloaded from the National Historical Geographic Information System.
Common occupations[edit]
National data reveals that farmers (owners and tenants) made up nearly 10% of utilized occupations. Farm laborers (wage workers) represent the next highest percent with 3.2%, followed by general laborers at 3.0%.[6]
More localized data shows that other occupations were common. In the town of Essex, Massachusetts, a large section of the women in the labor force were devoted to shoe-binding, while for men the common occupations were farming and shoe-making.[7] This heavy demand of shoe-related labor reinforces the high demand for rigorous physical laborers in the economy, as supported by the data of very large amounts of farm related work as compared to most other labor options.
IPUMS' data also notes that the share of the population that had been enrolled in school or marked as "Student" stood at 0.2%. This demonstrates a small rate of growth, if any, in the proficiency of the human capital of the time—the skill set a worker has to apply to the labor force, which can increase total output through increased efficiency.
The census of 1860 was the last in which much of Southern wealth was held as slaves—still legally considered property.
