The 1950 census was conducted across the continental United States and its territories during April and May 1950. The census determined the resident population to be 150,697,361 -- an increase of 14.5 percent from 1940. For all individuals it includes names, ages, residence addresses, relationships, households, gender, birthplace, marital status, and other facts. This index will be updated weekly starting the first week of April 2022 and is estimated to be complete with all 150 million records by June 2022.
The searchable index currently contains all records from Alaska, American Samoa, Delaware, Guam, Hawaii, Nevada, New Hampshire, Panama Canal Zone, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, Virgin Islands, Wyoming, Indian Reservation Schedules, and four overseas islands of Canton, Johnston, Midway, and Wake.
The decade of the 1940s, leading up to the 1950 Census, was one of incredible sorrow, extraordinary patriotism, and ultimately hope and the beginning of a new era of America’s elevated position on the world stage following the conclusion of World War II. This decade left an indelible mark on just about all Americans then living and those who came of age during the Great Depression and went on to fight in and contribute to the war effort have become known as The Greatest Generation as popularized by the journalist Tom Brokaw. Regardless of membership in these various demographic generations and their generalizations, these census records capture a unique and detailed snapshot of Americans at the individual and family level. This index and the associated 6.38 million digital images of the original handwritten population schedules will be an unparalleled resource for family historians, genealogists, social scientists, and other researchers for decades to come.
Original data: United States of America, Bureau of the Census. Seventeenth Census of the United States, 1950. Washington, D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration publication T628, 6,373 rolls.
