Obtaining Enumeration District numbers for the 1930 Census in One Step
>>> On April 1, 2002 the 1930 United States Census became available for viewing. In order to find a person in the census you will need to know the enumeration district (ED) in which the person lived. Today there are many resources available for determining the ED, although that wasn't the case when this website was initially created.
By far the easiest way is to use a name index.
That allows you to enter a person's name and get the ED.
There is a microfilm name index for head-of-household available at NARA that covers the southern states.
And at least one commercial website has a name index for the entire country. In addition, NARA has address indexes for certain cities. And NARA has a website that is especially useful for obtaining the EDs of small communities.
This portion of our website is most useful when you don't have access to a name index or you can't find the person by name on the existing name indexes. It presents an interactive interface for the major cities that allows you to "compute" the ED. All cities having at least 25,000 people in 1930, and many smaller ones as well, are on this website. We are grateful to all the volunteers who generated the data for many of the cities.
