Official Statistic Showing; the Varloiu -, f?hanye In Numbers, Nationality and - . , Location of the People In Thle Country. The population in this country is pretty, well divided between the two sexes, although according to a bulletin just issued from the census office there are about 1,500,000 more males than females fe-males in the 62,500,000 of population. In the New England and middle states states there are 45,000' more females than males. In the south middle section, sec-tion, Including the district, the females outnumber the males by some 20,000. While in the northern central section of the country as far west as Nebraska the males are in the majority by over 800,000, in the south central portion this excess reaches only about 200,000. In the western section of the country the predominance of the males is shown by a majority of over 500,000. In this district the males number only 109,584, while the females number 120,-80S; 120,-80S; 51.21 per cent, of the total population popula-tion returned in 1890 are males, and 43.79 percent are females. In 1830 the males represented 60.88 per cent, and the females fe-males 49.12 per cent. The percentages of males and females in 1870 were about the same as those just stated for 1830, or 50.56 per cent, for males and 49.44 per cent, for females, while in 1860 they were very nearly linular to thes? priToa for 1890; cr ".l.ia'pcr cent, for rosier and 43.84 per cent, for females. The excess of males over femiles-in 1590 is 1.513,-510, 1.513,-510, as against an excess in 1830 of SS1.-857. SS1.-857. In 1370 the males only c-xceeflad the females by 453,759, whereas in ISitO there were 727,037 more males than females. fe-males. In 1SS0 the males exuecded th females by 433.444. The very larje excess ex-cess of males in 1380 is readily ace.'.uiited for by the greatly increased number of immigrants who have come to this country coun-try since 1330, over three-fifths of the entire number of immigrants lieiufT males. Analyzing the results of the distribution distribu-tion of population according to natuft and foreign born, it seems that 14.77 par. cent, of the popu ation in 1390 are foreign for-eign born, as against 13. 32 per cent . in 1380 and 9.63 per cent, in- ISf.O. The native born in 1S50 represented 90. 8 per cent, of the whole population, while in 1890 they represented 85.23 per cent. According to the census in 1S90 . there are in the t'nited States 54,953,890 white persons and 9.038,360 eoloned persons, meaning by "colored" persons, those of African descent, Chinese, Japanese and civilized Indians. There has been an increase in the white from 1830 to 1390 of 11,530,920, or 26.63 per cent., and an increase in the colored for the same decade de-cade of 835,547, or 13.13 per cent. For the decade from 1870 to 1330 the white increased 29.22 per cent, and the colored, col-ored, apparently, S5.90 per cent. As has already been explained in previous bulletins, however, the increase from 1870 to 1880 was to a certain extent fictitious, fic-titious, particularly as regards the-colored population of the south. |
