The info on those early censuses (censii?) is invaluable to genealogy enthusiasts like me becaue it was asked of every person. However, what they are doing today is more like a statistical survey since the questions are only asked of ?randomly? selected people. I doubt that it will ever be printed on the detailed census information that is released after 70 years.
Between the NEOs and democrats that should account for most of the population...
