Between 1880 and 1900, the urban population of the United States rose from 28% to 40%, and reached 50% by 1920, in part due to 9,000,000 European immigrants. After 1890 the US rural population began to plummet, as farmers were displaced by mechanization and forced to migrate to urban factory jobs.

The net effect of these changes was to reduce the time required to process the census from eight years for the 1880 census to six years for the 1890 census. [3] The total population of 62,947,714, the family, or rough , count, was announced after only six weeks of processing (punched cards were not used for this tabulation).
The 1900 United States census, conducted by the Census Office on June 1, 1900, [1] determined the resident population of the United States to be 76,212,168, an increase of 21.01% from the 62,979,766 persons enumerated during the 1890 census. It was the last census to be conducted before the founding of the permanent United States Census Bureau.
