==HistoryStoria==

Sono stati fatti dei censimenti prima della ratifica della Costituzione; nei primi anni del 17° secolo, un censimento è stato fatto in [[Virginia]], e le persone sono state contate in quasi tutte le colonie britanniche che sono diventate poi gli [[Stati Uniti d'America]].

Censuses had been taken prior to the Constitution's ratification; in the early 17th century, a census was taken in [[Virginia]], and people were counted in nearly all of the British colonies that became the [[United States]].

Throughout the years, the country's needs and interests became more complex. This meant that statistics were needed to help people understand what was happening and have a basis for planning. The content of the decennial census changed accordingly. In 1810, the first inquiry on manufactures, quantity and value of products occurred; in 1840, inquiries on fisheries were added; and in 1850, the census included inquiries on social issues, such as taxation, churches, pauperism, and crime. The censuses also spread geographically, to new states and territories added to the Union, as well as to other areas under U.S. sovereignty or jurisdiction. There were so many more inquiries of all kinds in the census of 1880 that almost a full decade was needed to publish all the results. In response to this, the census was mechanized in 1890, with [[tabulating machine]]s made by [[Herman Hollerith]]. This reduced the processing time to two and a half years.<ref>Martin Campbell-Kelly and William Aspray, "Computer a History of the Information Machine - Second Edition", Westview Press, pages 14-19 2004</ref>
