In order to find a person in the census you may need to know the enumeration district (ED) in which the person lived. There are many resources available for determining the ED. A useful tool for obtaining EDs in large cities is the one-step 1930 ED Finder.

The tool on the current page will help you determine EDs anywhere in the country, large city or not. It does so by giving you the boundary descriptions or political/geographical names of each of the 120,105 EDs nationwide.

If you don't know the county, the following aid might help you determine it.
State: Alabama Alaska Arizona Arkansas California Colorado Connecticut Delaware District of Columbia Florida Georgia Hawaii Idaho Illinois Indiana Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Mississippi Missouri Montana Nebraska Nevada New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah Vermont Virginia Washington West Virginia Wisconsin Wyoming       Town:
