Census Count
Shows Population
Up 28 Million
WASHINGTON, Wl — The na
tion’s 1960 population is approxi
mately 179Vfe million, the Census
Bureau reported yesterday. This
is an increase of about 18Vfe per
cent since 1950.
The total was based on a quick
tabulation by census field offices
in the 50 states and will be re
vised before a final, detailed tally
is announced late this year.
On the basis of the preliminary
figure, the population has in
creased by more than 28 million
since 151,325,798 Americans were
counted in the present 50 states
and the District of Columbia in
1950. This is the largest gain for
any decade in the nation’s history.
In announcing the rough total,
the Census Bureau reported field
counts for California and Tennes
see — last of the states to com
plete the house-to-house census
that began April 1.
California is credited with a
1960 population of 15,537,413— an
increase of 4.951,190 over the 1950
count of 10,586,223.
The 1960 figure for Tennessee
is 3,531,773. This represents a gain
I of 240,055 over the 1950 popula
tion of 3,291,718.
