The enumeration (or as of) date for the various US Censuses can be found in
the US Census Timelines. Note that all Cesus information is _supposed_ to
be corect for the enumeration date rather than the date the enumerator
actually gathered the data. The operative word here is _supposed_ as there
are instances where it is know that the enumeration was days (even weeks)
different and the information was based on the actual date rather than the
supposed enumeration date.
