The 1930 Census lists place of abode (street, avenue, road, etc.; house number; number of dwelling house in order of visitation; number of family in order of visitation); name (name of each person in this residence on April 1, 1930--surname, then given name, then middle initial if any); relation (relationship of individual to the head of the family); home data (whether home was owned or rented; value of home if owned or monthly rent if rented; whether a radio set was owned; whether or not the family owned a farm); personal description (sex; color or race; age at last birthday; marital status; age at first marriage); education (whether attended school or college any time since September 1, 1929; whether able to read or write); place of birth (birthplace of individual--state or territory if born in the United State or name of county in which birthplace is currently situated if foreign born; birthplace of father; birth place of mother); mother tongue of foreign born (language spoken in home before coming to the United States); citizenship (year of immigration to the United States; naturalization; whether able to speak English); occupation or industry (trade, profession or particular type of work done; industry or business; class of worker); employment (whether actually at work yesterday or the last regular working day; if unemployed, line number of the unemployment schedule); veterans (whether a veteran of the United States military or naval forces; what war or expedition); farm schedule (number on farm schedule).

Please note that the unemployment and farm schedules no longer exist.

There is no state-wide index for the 1930 census. There is an index in book form for Caroline and Queen Anne's Counties, which was compiled and donated by Trish Surles. The Maryland State Archives also possesses two copies of the book 1930 Census Enumeration Districts, which describe what areas are included in each district. Each book contains a printed finding aid which correlates the National Archives microfilm reel number with the Maryland State Archives microfilm reel number.
