Meticulous Documentation Virtually all the items listed in the table of contents for the new 'Wealth and Industry' section of the 1870 Census are new. Data is included on debt, livestock, manufacturing, mining, fishing, mills and occupations. A brand new 'Statistical Atlas' is released at the same time, containing dozens of maps showing population density, geology, weather, crops, rainfall, storms, taxation, disease, temperature and wealth. Graphical data is also included to show the distribution of blindness, deafness, autism, death, nationality, idiocy and insanity. Amazing.

	Industry Listings The 1870 Census documents a quarter of a million business establishments across the country, with specific data for power systems, employees, wages, materials and products, including dollar totals, where appropriate.
	Manufacturing Listings Listings for manufacturers are broken down by industry, and are similarly detailed, including dollar amounts for capital invested and annual wages.
