Area of Science:

  • Demographic History
  • Public Health
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Historical U.S. census data provides insights into past population health.
  • Understanding historical child mortality rates is crucial for public health research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To estimate childhood mortality rates for the U.S. Hispanic population between 1890 and 1910.
  • To compare Hispanic child mortality with other demographic groups during this period.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a representative sample from the 1910 U.S. census manuscripts.
  • Analyzed childhood mortality data for the Hispanic population from approximately 1890 to 1910.

Main Results:

  • Hispanic populations exhibited high child mortality, surpassing non-Hispanic whites.

  • Child mortality rates were comparable to nonwhite non-Hispanic populations (primarily African Americans).
  • Significant regional variations were observed, with New Mexico and parts of Florida showing very high rates, and Tampa showing exceptionally low rates.

    • Conclusions:

    • Childhood mortality in the early 20th century U.S. Hispanic population was a significant public health concern.
    • Geographic location played a critical role in shaping child mortality outcomes within Hispanic communities.
    • Further research into the specific factors influencing these regional disparities is warranted.
