Data derived from Statistical Abstract of the United States, 1942, Chart No. 113: "Immigration, by Country of Origin, by Decades 1851-1940." The numbers used for these charts were:
1881-1890 | 1891-1900 | 1901-1910 | 1911-1920 | 1921-1930 | 1931-1940 | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
South-Eastern Europe | 936334 | 1879125 | 6128232 | 2758267 | 1063013 | 129174 |
North-Western Europe | 3800652 | 1680453 | 2007784 | 1618297 | 1414760 | 219123 |
The numbers are not precise but the proportions should be accurate. Known errors are that some of the countries are counted differently depending on the period in time (Austria gets counted with Germany sometimes, with Hungary others). There were no doubt some transcription errors too as the copy of this volume on Google Books is somewhat hard to read. The distinction between "North Western" and "South Eastern" was made primarily by me, with reference to the categories used on this page which I thought seemed sensible.
