From tho latest census bulletin we
learn that the 62,622,250 inhabitants of
the United States are domiciled in 11,
483,318 dwellings, giving
6.45 persons to a dwelling. A dwelling,
for census purposes, means any build
ing or place of abode in which any per
was living at the time the census
waB taken, whether a room above a
warehouse or factory, a loft above a
stable, a wigwam, a hotel, a boarding or
lodging house, a tenement house, or a
dwelling house as ordinarily considered.
A family, for consus purposes, includes
not only the normal family, as generally
understood, but also all persons liviug
alone, and all larger aggregations of
people having only the tie of a common
roof and table, as the inmates of hotels,
hospitals, prisons, asylums, &c. The
total number of families, as thus de
fined, i
1890, was 12,690,152, being an average
of 4.94 persons to each family.
Tho returns for Wilmington, which
figures among tho eitles for which
statistics are given in this bulletin, show
11,878 dwellings and 12,473 families,
being an average of 5.17 to a dwelling
and 4.93 to a family. In 1880 the re
turns showed 5.56 persons to a dwelling
and 5.15 to a family. The average num
ber of persons to a family, for the
United States as a whole, has steadily
decreased since 1850. At that census
there were 5.55 persons to a family; in
1860, 5.28; in 1870, 5.09; in 1880,5.04 and
in 1890, 4.94. This tendency to decrease
is shown more especially in the cities.
On this point the compiler of this
bulletin says: "When the population
becomes more or less urban in character
the maximum is reached, and a con
stantly receding average is likely to bo
shown at each census thereafter." An
other table gives the number of
persons to a dwelling, in detail, fr
which we find that there were in Wil
mington, in 1890, 151 dwellings
tabling one person each; 1,287 contain
ing two persons; 1,909 containing three;
2,058 containing f
average of
the United States, in June,
; 2,054 containing
five; 1,430 containing six; 1,103
taining »oven; 746 containing eight; 460
containing nine; 325 containing ten; 289
containing 11 to 15; 43 containing 16 to
20, and 17 containing 21 persona and
over. Of families, in tho census mean
ing of the word, there were in Wilming
ton 211 comprising one person each;
1,596 of two persons each; 2,168 of threo
persons; 2.199 of four persons; 2,095 of
live persons; 1,439 of six persons; 1,061
of seven persons; 701 of eight persons;
437 of nine persons; 300 of ten persons;
220 of 11 to 15 persons; 33 of 16 to 20
persons, and 13 of 21 persons and over.
In tho State of Delaware there were
33,882 dwellings in 1890; against 28,687
in-1880; 23,308 in 1870; 12,338 in I 860 ,
and 7,917 in 1850. The State average is
5.94 persons to a dwelling and 4.87 to a
family; there being 34,578 families in
1890;
compared with 28,523 in 1889 ;
,900 in 1870; 18,966 in 1860, und 15,439
in 1850.
