The 1900 United States census, conducted by the Census Office on June 1, 1900,^[1] determined the resident population of the United States to be 76,212,168, an increase of 21.01% from the 62,979,766 persons enumerated during the 1890 census. It was the last census to be conducted before the founding of the permanent United States Census Bureau.

The census saw the nation's largest city, New York City, more than double in size due to the consolidation with Brooklyn, becoming in the process the first U.S. city to record a population growth of over three million.

Oversight of the statistics was by Frederick Howard Wines and Walter F. Willcox.^[2]
