POPULATION, WEALTH AND DEBT.* The population of Nebraska in 1920 was 1,296,372, being an increase of 8.7 per cent over the census of 1910. The city population, including the inhabitants of thirty-one cities and villages of 2,500 population or more constitutes 31.3 per cent of the whole. Twenty-one and three-tenths per cent of the people live in villages of less than 2,500 inhabitants, and the remaining 47.5 per cent live in the country.
Of the total population 11.5 per cent are foreign born white. Sixty-one and six-tenths percent of the total foreign born white population are naturalized. Thirty-eight and four-tenths per cent are not citizens though of this number 26.5 percent have first papers.
The rapid increase in wealth between 1910 and 1920 rests largely on the increase in the valuation of farm lands. The farm acreage of Nebraska in 1919 was approximately 46,053,321 acres, or 93.07 per cent of the total area of the state. In 1919, 55.7 per cent of all land in farms was in farms operated by their owners, and 44.3 per cent in farms operated by tenants.
The bonded local debt of the counties, cities and villages, school districts and drainage districts has been incurred chiefly by municipalities and school districts. The state has no bonded debt.
*Statistics for these topics are taken from the United States census reports, the latest figures being those of 1920, and from agricultural statistics of Nebraska, 1919, Nebraska department of agriculture, Bulletin No. 103.
