FAMILIES AND DWELLINGS. 



481 



Out of a total of 187,052 dwellings, which is more than twice the 

 number of dwellings in New York city and about 50 per cent 

 more than in Chicago, 178,839, or 95'61 per cent, of the dwellings 

 contain 10 persons or less, and only 8,213 dwellings, or 4"39 per 

 cent of the whole, contain more than 10 persons. Relative to 

 population, 913,070 out of a total of 1,040,904 people in Phila- 

 delphia live in dwellings containing 10 persons or less, and this 

 is 87*21 per cent of the total population, while only 1279 per cent 

 of the total population, or, in round numbers, 133,888, live in dwell- 

 ings having more than 10 occupants. 



This is so important a subject, and one which the public de- 

 sires so much to study, that I repeat one of the tables given in the 

 recent census bulletin on dwellings and families. This table is 

 for the twelve cities stated in the preceding one, and it shows the 

 figures concerning persons in dwellings having more than 10 

 occupants, the per cent of dwellings having from 1 to 10 persons, 

 from 11 to 15 persons, from 10 to 20 persons, and 21 persons and 

 over, each, together with the population by number and per cent 

 contained in such dwellings :
