It aimed to capture demographic and social details to understand population trends, economic conditions, and household structures during the Great Depression era. The census helped government and researchers plan resources, policies, and services. It was the 16th decennial census, conducted on April 1, 1930, and provides valuable historical insights into American life during that period.
