By the time the 1860 census returns were ready for tabulation, the nation was sinking into the [[American Civil War]]. As a result, census superintendent [[Joseph C. G. Kennedy]] and his staff produced only an abbreviated set of public reports, without graphic or cartographic representations. The statistics did allow the census staff to produce a cartographic display, including preparing maps of Southern states, for Union field commanders. These maps displayed militarily vital topics, including the white population, slave population, predominant agricultural products (by county), and rail and [[post road]] transportation routes. This census saw [[Philadelphia]] regain its position as the second-most-populous American city (which it had lost to [[Baltimore]] in 1820), due to the [[Act of Consolidation, 1854]], merging many smaller surrounding townships, such as [[Spring Garden District, Pennsylvania|Spring Garden]], [[Northern Liberties Township, Pennsylvania|Northern Liberties]], and [[Kensington District, Pennsylvania|Kensington]], into the main city of Philadelphia. Philadelphia would lose its position as the second-most-populous American city to [[Chicago]] in 1890. ==Census questions== The 1860 census Schedule 1 (Free Inhabitants) was one of two schedules that counted the population of the United States; the other was Schedule 2 (Slave Inhabitants).

Schedule 1 collected the following information:{{cite web|title=1860 Census Questionnaire|url=https://www.census.gov/history/pdf/1860_questionnaire.pdf|publisher=US Census Bureau|access-date=March 28, 2013}} {| border="1" class="wikitable" !

[[Aggregate data]] for small areas, together with compatible cartographic boundary files, can be downloaded from the [[National Historical Geographic Information System]]. ==Common occupations== National data reveals that farmers (owners and tenants) made up nearly 10% of utilized occupations. Farm laborers (wage workers) represent the next highest percent with 3.2%, followed by general laborers at 3.0%.{{cite web|title=IPUMS 1860 Census Data|url=http://sda.usa.ipums.org|work=IPUMS Data Collection|access-date=March 1, 2011}} More localized data shows that other occupations were common. In the town of [[Essex, Massachusetts]], a large section of the women in the labor force were devoted to shoe-binding, while for men the common occupations were farming and shoe-making.{{cite web|last=Wilhelm|first=Kurt|title=Essex, MA Census 1860|url=http://essex.essexcountyma.net/census/1860.html|work=1860 Federal Census|access-date=February 27, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110723120353/http://essex.essexcountyma.net/census/1860.html|archive-date=July 23, 2011|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}} This heavy demand of shoe-related labor reinforces the high demand for rigorous physical laborers in the economy, as supported by the data of very large amounts of farm related work as compared to most other labor options. IPUMS' data also notes that the share of the population that had been enrolled in school or marked as "Student" stood at 0.2%. This demonstrates a small rate of growth, if any, in the proficiency of the [[human capital]] of the time—the skill set a worker has to apply to the labor force, which can increase total output through increased efficiency. The census of 1860 was the last in which much of Southern wealth was held as slaves—still legally considered property.
