1930 Census
Page 1, Precinct 3, Upton Co
Includes Gulf Camp Residents in Upton County
Unfortunately the census taker in Upton County did not
have as good penmanship as did Miss Gray of Crane County. Many of the
names are difficult to decipher, so errors are common in the following
section. In the slot designated "Street, avenue, road, etc." this census
taker often gives a number (a slot omitted by Miss Gray) which are not
numerically in order, but may have some meaning: houses numbered within
the same street designation may at least be on the same street. Therefore
the street number will precede all house numbers that follow. It is
interesting to note that most Gulf housing in Upton County rented for
$7.50 whereas in Crane County most rented for $5.00, although a few
rented for $7.50. Most of the bosses, with larger houses, lived in Upton
County, but that fact does not completely solve the difference. In cases
where rent was $15.00 it appears that two employees (father and son)
lived in the same house, but each was charged rent.
