The Twenty-first United States Census , conducted by the Census Bureau , determined the resident population of the United States to be 248,709,873, an increase of 9.8 percent over the 226,545,805 persons enumerated during the 1980 Census .[1]
Approximately 16 percent of households received a "long form" of the 1990 census, which contained over 100 questions. Full documentation on the 1990 census, including census forms and a procedural history, is available from the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series .
It was the first census to designate "Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander" as a racial group separate from Asians.
