STATISTICS OF FARMS, HOMES, AND MORTGAGES.
ALABAMA AND IOWA.
DEPAETMENT OF THE INTEEIOE,
Census Office,
Washington, D. C, April 2, 1891.
Sir :
A resolution introduced April 22, 1890, by Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, enabled me to lay before the Senate
the instructions, rules, and regulations formulated by the Census Office for the purpose of ascertaining the facts
required by the several census acts relating to recorded indebtedness, the ownership of farms and homes, and the
amount of mortgage indebtedness thereon. (See Census Bulletin No. 5, dated May 15, 1890.) In fact, it did more.
It gave me the opportunitj^ of pointing out in advance the immediate difficulties which lay in the way of successfully
conducting a novel statistical inquiry. It is, I believe, the first time a government has ever attempted to invade
for statistical purposes the realm of private indebtedness. For this reason, and becar.se questions relating to debt are
likely to arouse a popular prejudice against the census proper, it became necessary to adopt some plan that would
secure the information demanded by Congress with the least possible friction. This has, in a large measure, been
accomplished, and although the just demand on the part of the people to take an inventory of private indebtedness
has been used for the purpose of making partisan attacks on the Census Office, the work has been prosecuted with a
success far beyond the anticipation of statisticians who have studied the question for years. At the present writing-
it is impossible to estimate the full benefits which will be derived Irom such an investigation. The emploj^ment of
a small army of 2, .500 special agents and clerks to make an abstract of every mortgage placed on record in every
county in the United States for the last ten years has attracted attention to the dangers of these incumbrances, to
the enormous burdens in the way of interest, to the alarming extent to which usury is practiced, and to the
defectiveness of these records in all parts of the country. The agents of the Census Office have, as a matter of
fact, overhauled the records in every state and territory. They have traveled on horseback and on foot through the
most sparsely settled districts of our vast domain in search of mortgages, and have done their work so industriously
and so thoroughly that we now have on file in Washington as a result of their labor the abstracts of about
9,000,000 mortgages. Some months before the inquh-y was begun Congress, and through Congress the public, was
put in possession of the scope of the plan adopted. That plan, with hardly any change, has been successfully carried
out. It comprised two distinct methods, one having the local records for the basis of operation, the other the
population schedule, and hence the individual. As will be seen from the accompanying preliminary report for the
states of Alabama and Iowa, the first plan makes it possible to determine with reasonable accuracy the amount of
existing debt January 1, 1890, the rate of interest, and the motive of the loan, whether for purchase money,
improvement, or other purposes. The second plan will shoAV the number of persons by comities in the United States
who own their farms and their homes free from debt and the number having incumbrances thereon, the amount of
such indebtedness, the value of such farms, and other facts of minor importance. These two inquiries combined will
throw light upon the whole question of mortgage indebtedness, and will form a basis for subsequent investigations
that will probablj'' yield more exact and satisfactory results. No one appreciated more keenly than myself the
magnitude and difficulty of this investigation. Suggestions and criticisms have been sought in every direction, and
the work has been prosecuted from beginning to end with the sole aim to obtain all the facts as accurately and
quickly as possible. That there are imperfections in the work I readily admit, but no other method would have

yielded better results without endaugeriug the enumeration of the people. On this point all statisticians who have
examined the work relating to individual indebtedness agree. lu a report of the committee on statistics of the
American Economic Association, made December 27, 1S90, the chairman, Hon. Carroll D. Wright, says :
Your committee has taken great interest in the jjrogress of this work relating to individual indebtedness. From careful inquiries it is
believed that the results, -while they will not be perfectly accurate, and can not be, in the nature of things, will not vary more than 5 or
10 per cent from the actual truth. Should they vary from 15 to 20 per cent, the results would still be of incalculable value, especially
should the inquiries be repeated at any future period.
The special agents who have carried out this work, Mr. Geoege K. Holmes and Mr. John S. Lord, deserve great
credit for the intelligence, industry, and faithfulness they have displayed in the difficult task allotted them. Mr.
Lord had successfully conducted a similar inquiry for the state of Illinois, and it affords me great pleasure to
acknowledge my indebtedness to both of these gentlemen for valuable suggestions in the formation of the general
plan adojited. For the details of that plan it is only necessary to refer to the letter press prepared by these officers.
The present inquiry will show two distinct results, namely, the debt placed on record for each of the ten years,
1880-89, and the debt in force January 1, 1890.
Debt on record. — The indebtedness placed upon record during the ten years in Alabama was $91,099,62.3, but
all of this is not existing indebtedness. In Iowa the amount of mortgage indebtedness placed on record during the
ten years was $431,288,542, a part of which, as will be shown, has been paid.
Debt in force. — According to this report, the total real estate mortgage debt in Alabama in force January 1,
1890, was $39,027,98-3 ; the total real estate mortgage debt in Iowa in force January 1, 1890, was $199,034,956.
Per capita debt. — The average amount of debt to one of population in Alabama was $26 ; in Iowa, $104.
ITuMBER OF ACRES MORTGAGED. — The number of acres mortgaged in Alabama in 1889 was 1,744,420 ; total number
of acres in the state, 32,985,600 ; per cent of acres mortgaged in that year, 5.29. The number of acres mortgaged
in Iowa in 1889 was 3,240,432 ; total number of acres in the state, 35,504,000 ; per cent of acres mortgaged in that
year, 9.13.
Interest charges. — The interest charges in Alabama range from 1 to 40 per cent, and in Iowa from 1 to 20
per cent. Throughout the south and west the contracts often state that the debt is without interest or give a
lower than the true rate.
Equated life of mortgages. — The average life of mortgages, Avith no allowance for partial payments, is computed
to be 2.73 years in Alabama and 4.93 j'ears in Iowa. The plan adopted involves the computation of the average
life of mortgages for every county in the United States.
Motive. — By personal inquiry in Alabama as to the objects in mortgaging real estate, the most prominent ones
given are : Purchase money, to buy more land, business, improvements, farm expenses, family expenses, family
supplies, farm supplies, to repay borrowed money, and litigation and lawyers' fees. In Iowa : Purchase money,
improvements, to buy more land, business, farm stock, security debts, speculation, litigation, living expenses, and
undescribed debts. The counties thus selected and known in the Census Office as " inquiry " counties were
Jefferson and Greene counties, Alabama, and Cass, Crawford, Delaware, and Johnson counties, Iowa. In Jefferson
countj', Alabama, it was found by actual inquiry made by special agents of the census that the motive for 95.84 per
cent of the indebtedness was the purchase of the incumbered and other real estate, improvements, and business ; in
Greene count}'', Alabama, for these purposes, 68.31 per cent; in Cass countj'', Iowa, 91.13 per cent; in Crawford
county, Iowa, 90.33 per cent ; in Delaware county, Iowa, 88.80 per cent, and in Johnson county, Iowa, 93.47 per cent.
Percektage of error. — In the extract given above from the report of the chairman of the committee on
statistics of the American Economic Association he gave it as his opinion that the result of this inquiry " will not
vary more than 5 or 10 per cent from actual truth." I believe the variation will not reach 5 per cent, and it certainly
will not exceed 10 per cent.
In computing the amount of existing indebtedness in the two selected or " inquiry " counties in Alabama, the total
actual debt on January 1, 1890, was $14,952,020, the total computed debt, $15,399,230, and the percentage of error
in excess was 2.99. In the four selected counties of Iowa the total actual debt at the same date was $8,453,117, the
total computed debt, $8,473,105, and the percentage of error in excess of debt was 0.24. This indicates that the plan
adopted will yield both valuable and accurate statistical results ; and this supposition is fortified when it is borne
in mind that able statisticians admit that even if the error should vary from 15 to 20 per cent the results w^ould
still be of incalculable value.
Very respectfully,
ROBERT P. PORTER,
Superintendent of Census.
The Secretary of the Interior.
STATISTICS OF FARMS, HOMES, AND MORTGAGES.
BY GEOEGE K. HOLMES AND JOHN S. LOED.
SCOPE OF THE INVESTIGATION.
The results presented in this bulletin are the first that have been derived from the real estate mortgage
investigation made under the authority of the census act approved March 1, 1889, directing the Superintendent
of Census to " collect the statistics of and relating to the recorded indebtedness of private corporations and
individuals." The selected tables are for the states of Alabama and Iowa. Because of the limitations of space
and of the necessary delay required in making further classifications and computations, at a time, too, when there
is some impatience to get the fii-st fruits of the investigation, only a condensed statement of some of the facts
obtained is attempted.
Except in several counties in which special investigations were conducted, to be mentioned more especially
further on, the public real estate records have supplied the facts. While one of the objects has been to establish
the amount of indebtedness in force January 1, 1890, other objects of perhaps equal importance have been
entertained, with the purpose of showing the number and amount of mortgages made during each of the ten years
1880-'89, the rates of interest borne by them, and the distribution of these mortgages between village and city
real estate on the one hand and real estate outside of villages and cities on the other. If no attempt further than
this had been made, still the results would throw much light upon the mortgage question.
How far to go in this investigation has been a perplexing matter. Although obstacles were foreseen in a
himdred directions, it was impossible to anticipate all of them ; they have, however, been surmounted with
approximate and substantial success. The investigation has necessarily been confined to real estate mortgages and
other real estate securities that are substitutes for them: first," because the cost of including other evidences of
private recorded indebtedness would create an expense too great to be borne by the appropriation for the entire
census ; secondly, because it would be impossible by the only available method to determine the amount of
indebtedness in force secured by these other evidences of indebtedness near enough to the truth to warrant the
attempt.
For these reasons crop liens, mechanics" liens, judgments by process of law, and chattel mortgages have been
excluded. In the case of chattel mortgages, duplication of the record of the same instrument in more than one
town or county prevails to a great extent, and this is an additional reason for not taking account of them. Eather
thau undertake to include all recorded real and personal seciu-ities, without any prospect of bringing the investigation
of any of them to completion, it has seemed wiser to rule out all but real estate mortgages and other real estate
securities that are their substitutes, which, after all, embrace the chief, and in many states nearly the whole, body
of private recorded indebtedness, and to present all the results in regard to them that it is withm the limited
resources of tlie Census Office to obtain.
The word " mortgage " will be used hereafter to include all securities embraced within this investigation. In
many parts of the south a mortgage is rarely known by that name. One seciu-ity that takes its place is a deed of
ti-ust, by which the borrower makes a conditional conveyance to a third person for the benefit of the lender, the deed
to be void upon payment of the debt. In the south, and also in some parts of the west, a bond for a deed is employed.
The borrower conveys his real estate to a lender by unconditional deed in fee simple and receives in return a bond,
by which the lender binds himself to reconvey when the debt is satisfied, the borrower in the meantime remaining
in possession. Another form of a bond for a deed, generally called a contract, made on the Pacific slope and in the
west, and by railways and states that' sell land, permits the would-be purchaser to take possession, and provides
that he shall have a deed in fee when all the payments have been made.
The vendor's lien is also a favorite in the south, and is a condition in a deed of fee simple upon the sale of
real estate partly or entirely upon credit, giving the seller a lien on the property to secure deferred payments of
purchase money. In Virginia and Pennsylvania it is more or less the practice of a borrower to confess judgment
3

against himself vipon the records of a court to secure his debt, and tlius phxce a lien iipon all his property, real and
personal ; and in Pennsylvania, upon the settlement of an estate, an heir who takes the share of one or more of his
coheh-s in real estate without full payment therefor gives to the court a recognizance, which secures the debt and is
a lien upon the property.
All these iustruments have been included in this investigation, and all but state and railroad contracts are
included in the tables of this bulletin. In some regions where public land is for sale settlers have mortgaged their
preliminary titles. These instruments have been rejected as not representing recorded indebtedness, because the
settlers had not acquired a mortgageable title, and more especially because they substituted sound mortgages when
a mortgageable title had subsequently been acquired.
Two forms of bond for a deed have been excluded. Under one of them the purchaser takes possession, and
after some of the payments have been made he receives a deed in fee simple and returns a mortgage. In this case,
to avoid duplication, only the mortgage has been included. The other excluded bond for a deed is the one more
generallj' known to the common law, and permits the would-be purchaser, who does not take possession, to demand
a deed at a future date or to abandon the contract, often by sacrificing a penalty. In some of the mining regions
of the far west this bond is commonly surrendered. All of these bonds for deeds have been excluded, because they
do not represent indebtedness.
A crop lien in the southern states, where it is generally found, is not a lien upon real estate m its usual form,
but in some counties it is made so by exj)ress provision in the contract, and in such case the hen has been included
in the mortgage indebtedness.
The provision of the census act including private corporations in the investigation of recorded indebtedness
has been another source of perplexity. Among these may be legally classed railroad, canal, telegraph, and
telephone corporations, whose real estate often extends through many counties, and in a presentation of results
by counties no satisfactory apportionment of the debt of these corporations can be made. Besides this there are
public water, gas, electric lighting and power, and other corporations that receive a grant of the right of eminent
domain, which, though legally private corporations, actually and necessarily exercise quasi-public functions, and these
functions maj'' be constitutionally exercised to a great extent, if not fuUj^, by municipalities, which are legally public
corporations. The indebtedness of these corporations, too, is something apart fi-om the life and iindertakings of the
masses of the people, and would only obscure their - real estate mortgage indebtedness if it were merged with that
indebtedness; and, besides, this subject is largely covered by the work of other divisions of the Census Office. For
these reasons no account has been taken of the debts owed by these corporations.
Coimty fair grounds, church buildings, and the land on which they stand, are devoted to uses of a public
character, and the debt upon them is logically excluded ; but the debt upon parochial schools, upon the charitable
institutions of church corporations, and upon parsonages has been taken, and also that upon the real estate of all
eleemosynary corporations. It may be that the line has not been drawn distinctly in regard to all corporations, but
the endeavor has been to make these statistics representative of the affairs of the masses of the peo^jle, and the only
indebtedness upon corporate real estate that has been rejected is that upon the real estate of corporations which
usually exercise the right of eminent domain and upon religious corporations within the narrow limits mentioned.
Another perplexing matter has been the renewal of mortgages. A lender may call in his loan and force a
borrower to obtain money elsewhere, or a mortgageor, to gain some benefit, may pay his debt with borrowed money,
which, in turn, is secured by a mortgage. These transactions are constantly going on, and a considerable
proportion of the indebtedness placed upon record consists of nothing more than renewals. There has been no way
by which the taking of these renewals could be avoided except by a house-to-house canvass or an examination of
records, which would largely exceed the limits of the appropriation. This, however, makes little difference with
the result in the computation of indebtedness in force, to be subsequently explained, because these renewals have
their effect in reducing the average life of mortgages.
In most states the records are adverse to an economical doing of such a work as this. It is rare that printed
forms are used, and generally all sorts of instruments are recorded promiscuously in the same books. The
experience of a special agent, who searched 3,200 pages to find sixty mortgages, was by no means rare. To be
certain that no mortgages were omitted, special agents were often compelled to read nearly the entire records to
distinguish these instrviments from others nearly similar in form, and this had to be done in hundreds of counties
where the handwriting was almost illegible.
The number of special agents and detailed office clerks employed in the field was 716 for four to five months.
They were mostly .lawj^ers, law students, and real estate agents, the remainder being merchants, editors, reporters,
physicians, clergymen, clerks, teachers, and farmers, and four women. About 1,800 clerks were employed by these
special agents.
THE RATE OF INTEREST— ESTABLISHING THE DEBT IN FORCE. 5
THE RATE OF INTEREST.
The fact most difficult to obtain has been the rate of interest. Throughout the south, west beyond the
Mississippi river, and to some extent elsewhere, the records commonly do not disclose the actual rates of interest
borne by real estate mortgages, and soon after the field work began it was necessary to instruct special agents to
return actual rates, if these were ascertainable, or, if not, to return customary rates. Everywhere mortgages are
found that refer to promissory notes or other instruments for mention of rates. Chiefly in the south and west the
contract often states that the debt is without interest or mentions a lower rate than the true one, the fact being that
the debtor has not received the full equivalent of the apparent principal. These are called "stuffed" mortgages,
and, as it is difficult to identify these mortgages if they mention some rate in the contract, it is probable that many
of them have been taken to the full amount of the inflated principal. In all cases where they were identified
the principal was reduced to the true amount and the rate of interest increased correspondingly.
In some counties in the south farmers give mortgages to merchants to secure future advances of supplies, and
although these mortgages state that they are free of interest or bear a low rate, yet as a matter of fact at least the
orchnary rate of mterest is charged in the x^rices of the goods sold. The customary rate has been adopted in such cases.
The interest mortgage is common between the Mississippi river and the Eocky mountains north of Arkansas and
the Indian territory. It generally represents an addition to the anntial rate of from 2 to 4 per cent. For instance :
When a loan of $1,000 for five years is made, a first mortgage is given for $1,000 at 7 per cent, and a second
mortgage for $150 without interest, representing 3 per cent of the principal yearly, and going to the negotiator of the
loan, if not to the lender. Special agents were instructed not to return these second mortgages as principal, but to
convert them into additions to the apparent rates of interest borne by the first mortgages. The aim has been to get
facts in all cases where the mortgages misrepresented or concealed them.
The difficulty of getting actual rates of interest can not be expressed within the limits of a bulletin. Special
agents were everywhere cautioned against accepting legal rates where contracts did not correctly state the percentage
really paid, yet it may be that in some counties they were misled into accepting legal rates when in fact the cost
of the money to the borrower may have been materially more.
In every case of reasonable doubt as to whether a mortgage or a class of mortgages should be ruled out it has
been the policy and uniform practice to take them, and it should be understood that these statistics embrace all real
estate securities that have not been specifically excluded as herein mentioned.
ESTABLISHING THE DEBT IN FORCE.
It has been suggested by various newspapers that the amount of the uncanceled mortgages should be accepted
as the amount of debt in force. This would be a gi'oss exaggeration, as was foreseen by tlie Sui^erintendent of
Census — so gross that the statistics would be imworthy of confidence. For some of the coitnties, where special
investigations have been conducted for the purpose of ascertaining the actual amount of debt in foi-ce, the results
have been tabulated, and the percentage of the error of taking the face of the uncanceled mortgages is known.
Inquiries were made in 102 counties for the purpose of learning liow much remains unpaid upon everj^ uncanceled
mortgage recorded as far back in time as an appreciable amount of debt is found to exist — generally twenty years —
and if in the counties that have been tabulated the face of the records for the same period of time had been
acce]3ted as representing the amount of living debt, the apparent debt would be greater than the living debt to the
extent shown by the percentages of error given in the table on the following page.

The average percentage of error shown iu the above table is 71.30.
The original amount of uncanceled mortgages in these counties includes all of those mortgages that are
uncanceled of record, and among these are mortgages that are fully satisfied. The amount unpaid January 1, 1890,
is what remains after deducting these fully-paid mortgages and all partial payments upon mortgages in force. The
percentages of error are increased by the deduction of partial payments, but the error due to partial payments is
much less than that which is due to the fullj'-paid mortgages uncanceled of record.
This table shows the faulty condition of the real estate records of the country in respect to cancellations, the
fact being that real estate titles are clouded by a dead indebtedness amounting to nearly three-quarters of the living
indebtedness. The greatest indiiference to recorded cancellations is in the south, where the face of the records
increase the existing debt as high as four and a half times.
A separate house-to-house canvass was forbidden by its enormous cost, since every person must be called
upon and interrogated, or the records mu.st first be searched and inquiries afterward made regarding every
uncanceled mortgage. The plan of making inquiries in regard to all uncanceled mortgages was tried experimentally
before the investigation began in earnest and in 102 counties during the investigation, and it was sufficiently well

THE PLAN ADOPTED. 7
established that the cost of doing the work in this way in all the counties of the Union would be several millions
of dollars — probably $6,000,000, and possibly more.
In undertaking to discover the amount of recorded real estate indebtedness in force at a given date by an
indu-ect process the Census Office adopted the only available method that promised results near enough to the
truth to be worth obtaining. To incorporate questions for this purpose in the population schedule of the decennial
enumeration was contrary to the advice of statisticians of large experience expressed upon other occasions, and
would have endangered the success of the enumeration in this census. This was fully set forth in a letter from the
Superintendent of Census to the Hon. James H. Berry, United States Senator, dated December 3, 1889, and in a
letter of December 28, 1889, to the Hon. D. B. Henderson, member of the House of Representatives, in regard to the
statistics of farm and home ownership and indebtedness, both of which letters have been published.
THE PLAN ADOPTED.
Preliminary experiments by special agents of the Census Office pointed to the use of the average life of mortgages,
with an allowance for partial payments, as promising results much nearer the truth than the errors exhibited in the
preceding table — near enough, at any rate, to be fairly conclusive as to the amount of existing indebtedness, and
preferable to a complete abandonment of the investigation, which was the alternative. This plan is approximately
correct, and under perfectly uniform conditions would produce accurate results. An objection that can be raised
against it is that mortgages are not uniform in amount and duration. These variations, however, when large
amounts of debt are considered, are not as great as may be supposed, and under careful observation and corrective
treatment lose much of their influence for error.
If a mortgage for $500 endures for live years and one for §1,000 endures for two years, and no partial payments
are made, the average life of this indebtedness is three years, as shown by the following computation :
$500 X 5 years = 2,500
$1,000 X 2 years = 2,000
$1,500 )4,500
3 years.
The application of this principle to the determination of existing indebtedness may be illustrated under simple
conditions. Suppose that a mortgage for $100 is made January 1 each year and endures for three years without
partial payments ; these mortgages may be represented by lines, thus :
The debt in force at any given date would then be the sum of the mortgages or lines under that date, or in all cases
$300 ; that is to say, the debt would be equal to the sum of the mortgages created during the average life of
mortgages, or three years before that date.
The subject becomes more complicated when account is taken of the mortgages created every day and enduring
for all periods of time, from a few days to many years. If the average life of all mortgages under such circumstances
is four years, and the total amount of the mortgages recorded within the last four years is taken as equivalent to the
amount of indebtedness existing at the present time, it is evident that many paid mortgages created within the four
years are included in the amount, and that many unpaid mortgages, created more than four years ago, are not
included. In such case it is true, if the life of mortgages is correctly represented, that the mortgages of the life period
of four years .now paid are exactly equal to the mortgages made previously to the life period and now unpaid, so
that the total recorded debt of the life period stands for the amount of debt in force.
This is illustrated by the colored diagrams, and the fact is ax^parent to the eye in Diagram No. 1 . The whole
diagram represents a debt period of twenty years for Jefferson county, Alabama, where the actual indebtedness
existing January 1, 1890, was ascertained by special investigation. The vertical dividing line is arbitrarily placed
in the middle, separating the whole debt period into two equal parts, the life period of mortgages being on the right
and the ante-life period on the left.
The life period covers the time during which mortgages live on the average, the latter end of this pei-iod being
December 31, 1889, and in the case of this county it begins April 1, 1887, since the average life of mortgages is 2.75
8 J^ARMS, HOMES, AND MORTGAGES.
years. The ante-life period includes all previous time, and in the case of this county extends back of April 1,
1887, to and including January 1, 1870.
The statistics for Jefferson county disclose that the mortgages in force made prior to the life period, that is,
prior to April 1, 1887, amount to $3,393,457, on which partial payments to the amount of $492,313 have been made,
leaving a total net existing debt of $2,901,144 for this period. During the life period, namelj', between April 1,
1887, and December 31, 1889, inclusive, or 2.75 years, the total amount of mortgages made and still in force is
$12,480,394, on which partial payments to the amount of $589,349 have been made, leaving a total net existing debt
of $11,891,045 for this period. The total net debt in force remaining of the debt incurred during the period prior
to April 1, 1887, and that between April 1, 1887, and December 31, 1889, must therefore be the sum of the two
amounts, $2,901,144 and $11,891,045, or $14,792,189; that is, this latter sum represents the total net existing
indebtedness of Jefferson county December 31, 1889.
The matter may be explained more in detail as follows : The ante-life period on the left of the diagram
contains a living debt of $2,901,144, represented by the pink section, and contains the partial pajrments that haA^e
been made on the mortgages in force executed during this period, these partial payments amounting to $492,313, and
being represented by the j^ellow section below the pink section.
The life period on the right contains an amount of recorded debt equal to the total amount in force plus the
partial payments that have been made on all the living mortgages, or those in force, of both life and ante-life
periods. This amount of recorded debt in the life period includes a net living debt of $11,891,045 incurred during
this period, represented by the blue section. It includes fullj^ paid mortgages amounting to $2,901,144, represented
by the pink section, which is the equivalent of the living debt of the same amount incurred in the ante-life period,
shown on the left also bj^ a pink section. The life period likewise includes fully paid mortgages amounting to $492,313,
represented by the green section, which is the equivalent of the partial payments on the mortgages in force made
during the ante-life period, represented by the yellow section on the left ; and the life period, lastly, includes the
partial payments, amounting to $589,349, on the living mortgages made during this period, these partial payments
being represented hy the yellow section below the blue section. Thus the life period contains an amount of incurred
debt equal to the debt in force, or $14,792,189, included in the blue and pink sections, plus an amount equal to the
entire partial payments, which are $1,081,662, and are included in the green and j^ellow sections of the life period.
Diagram No. 2 represents Crawford county, Iowa. The equalitj' of the pink and yellow sections in the ante-life
period with the corresponding pink and green sections within the life period is apparent to the eye, and is as actual
as in Diagram No. 1. Diagram No. 3 represents Johnson countj^, Iowa, with the various sections of debt illustrating
the principle, but with quantities and proportions different from those found in Jefferson and Crawford counties.
The true life of real estate mortgage indebtedness in these three counties is known, because the amount of
all of the mortgages in force was first fully discovered by personal inquiry as to the facts in the case of every
mortgage standing uncanceled of record, and therefore the results are accurate to a nicety ; but the accuracy can
only be approximate when it is required to reverse the process and find the average life of debt and the amount
of partial payments, and then establish the amount of existing debt. There is no way of doing this that does
not take account of the life of canceled mortgages. For instance, if all the mortgages recorded in 1870 were
canceled and their life were to be taken, it might be the life not only of the real estate mortgage debt of that year .
but of years similarly conditioned, in this case of 1869 and 1871, but not of the mortgages of 1885, becaiise
materially different conditions have sm-rounded mortgages made since 1877, when the financial depression of
1873-'78 was di-awing to a close. The period during which the existing indebtedness was created was almost
entirely within the ten years 1880-'89, and probably the conditions of no previous period in the history of
the country caused a life of indebtedness sufficiently near to the life of the indebtedness of 1880-'89 to warrant
its application to the debt created within this period, with which we are mainly concerned. An acceptable average
life of debt should thus be sought among the mortgages recorded since 1879.
But all of these mortgages are not canceled of record nor even paid in full. There are many mortgages paid
only in part, and many others wholly unpaid. These mortgages, as well as the canceled mortgages, have their place
in the life of debt ; they have certamly lived up to the present time, and will live more or less into the future ; j^et
the proportion of these unpaid mortgages created within later j^ears is too large to permit the life of debt to be
drawn fii-om the mortgages recorded, for instance, in 1888, or in any year, certainly, since 1885. In order, therefore,
that the life of debt may be drawn fi-om as large a proportion of canceled mortgages as possible, the mortgages
recorded immediately subsequent to 1879 have been taken and those of the four years 1880-'83 have been selected.
More than one year is selected, for the purpose of equalizing the variations that are found in the dm-ation of the
indebtedness incurred yearly. These variations are hardly noticeable in counties where a large amount of indebtedness
is incurred yearly, but are important in counties haA^ing small amounts.
The fully-paid but uncanceled mortgages of these four years must necessarily stand as uncanceled, and are
classed with unpaid mortgages in the computation. They thus contribute a larger amount of time to the life of
DEDUCTION OF PAETIAL PAYMENTS— ILLUSTRATIVE COMPUTATION. 9
debt than they shoiikl. This is largely if uot entirely neutralized by the failure to take account of the time during
which unpaid mortgages will live rti the future. These errors are of a contrary character, and tend to destroy each
other.
These explanations being made, the computation of the average life of mortgage debt may thus be illustrated
with supposed facts :
Canceled mortgages of 1880-'83 §500 X average life of 3.25 ycare = 1,625
Uncanceled mortgages of 1880-'83... §145 X average life to January 1, 1890, or 8 years = 1,160
§645 )2,785
Average life of debt, with no allowance for partial payments 4.32 years.
In counties where the proportion of fullj'-paid but uncanceled mortgages is considerable, an average life so
computed is generally too great, and will consequently produce too great an amount for the existing indebtedness.
Many experimental trials have demonstrated this. Some reduction of this error has been made by an application of
the results obtained in the counties where special investigations have been made for the purpose of ascertaining to
a certainty the amount of debt in force. The counties whose results have been used for this purpose are near
those whose results have been corrected,, and are much like them in general conditions of industry and other
circumstances.
DEDUCTION" OF PARTIAL PAYMENTS.
The computation of the average life of mortgages gives to all paid portions of such mortgages, whether
canceled or uncanceled, a longer life than they really had, and consequently makes the apparent life of all mortgage
debt too long to this extent, and hence the amount of debt recorded within the life period ending January 1, 1890,
is larger than the existing debt. As illustrated by the colored diagrams, a deduction of the partial payments cures
this error.
With the object of arriving at the percentage that should be deducted for partial paj'ments, steps were taken to
obtain from lenders upon a large number of mortgages statistics showing the proportion of partial payments made
upon their loans. The partial payments that had been made upon many thousands of mortgages were ascertained
from savings banks, insurance companies, mortgage companies, trustees of estates, loan and trust companies, and
holders of large numbers of mortgages, generally corporations. Experimental investigations, conducted by special
agents of the Census OflBce, led to the conclusion that the loans of these corporations might be accepted for the
purpose of showing what partial payments had been made upon all real estate loans, and there was no acceptable
substitute for this course that promised trustworthy results.
The leading object in this trial was to get economically and by application to a comparatively few lenders
statistics of partial payments distributed throughout a large number of the counties of the Union, which could not be
obtained from private lenders on account of expense and their refusal to impart the information. But it has been
found that a much larger proportion of the indebtedness of a community is held by residents of that community than
was expected, and that this large jiroportion of indebtedness is held within the community itself is evidenced by
the lower percentages of partial payments obtained from the statistics of lending institutions than the percentages
derived from inquiries in the special counties. The investigations in the 102 counties, in which loans made by
all classes of lenders are taken account of, are establishing results so much at variance with those obtained ft-om
statistics contributed by corporations that the latter must probably be rejected and reliance placed upon the former.
As far as comparisons have been made, the percentages of partial paj^ments on mortgages made upon all loans in
these special counties are much larger than those made upon the loans of corporations. If the disagreement
between the results obtained in these two ways is everywhere as radical as it has thus far been found to be, an
important indication of the distribution of wealth beyond the degree generally supposed will be seen.
The statistics of partial payments obtained from lending corporations are valuable, and will be tabulated for
publication. Had it not been for the remarkable success of the investigations in the 102 counties, which had not
been looked for by statisticians of large experience, these statistics must have been the sole reliance of the Census
Office in discovering the proportion of partial .payments made upon existing loans. They were obtained at small
expense, and would have been made much more complete if it had not been necessary to practice every economy in
conducting this investigation.
ILLUSTRATIVE COMPUTATION.
Although the foregoing explanation of the process adopted for establishing the amount of existing indebtedness
is necessarily long, yet the process itself is short and simple. For example, suj^pose that the average life of debt
is 4.19 years, and that the recorded real estate mortgage debt amounts to $100 in 1885, $125 in 1886, $120 in 1887,
3
10 FABMS, HOMES, AND MORTGAGES.
S240 iu 1SS8, aad $175 in 1889, the amount of debt in force January 1, 1890, will be the sum of the recorded debt
of the last fom- years and 19 per cent of that of 1885, or 8679, minus the percentage of the partial payments upon
living mortgages made during the whole debt period of twenty years, this percentage of partial payments being taken
from near counties among the 102, where the amount of partial payments was ascertained by special investigation.
The use of this process will show the greatest deviation from the true indebtedness in counties where the
recorded indebtedness is small and highly variable in amount from year to year, and, to reduce this deviation,
several such counties, similar in character and neighboring to each other, are combined in computing the average
life of mortgages.
THE FACTS OBTAINED.
The census day, or present time, under this investigation is January 1, 1890. For every real estate mortgage
acknowledged within the ten years ending December 31, 1889, and recorded, except mortgages made by corporations
that have been ruled out, the following facts were taken by special agents : The state and county in which
the mortoaged real estate is situated ; the year in which the acknowledgment was made ; coi'porations, both as
morto-ageors and as mortgagees, classified as savings banks, banks (including loan and trust companies, but not
including savings banks), building and loan associations, insurance companies, mortgage corporations, and aU other;
the orio-inal amount of the debt ; the actual rate of interest, or, if not ascertainable from the records, the customary
rate at the time ; the nimiber of incumbered acres and village or city lots ; and also for the canceled mortgages of
1880-'83 the full dates of acknowledgment and cancellation. Foreclosures were taken as cancellations, but court
records were not usually searched for them — an omission of little consequence, on account of the nearness of the
averao-e life of foreclosed mortgages to the average life of the uncanceled mortgages of 1880-'83 from their date to
January 1, 1890.
In the 102 counties where special investigations were made the same facts were taken, and for all uncanceled
mortgages as far back iu time as any appreciable number of them were found in force the names of the parties and
of the towns where they lived at the time the mortgages were made were taken. In making these abstracts of
uncanceled mortgages the period generally covered was twenty years previous to 1890. In some cases it was not
necessary to go so far back, in others a longer time was covered experimentally. Application was then made by
mail to all mortgageors named in the uncanceled mortgages to report the amount of debt unpaid, if any, not
including interest, and the object for which the indebtedness was incurred. If answers were not returned,
application was made by mail to mortgagees, and finally it was necessary to resort to personal canvass. The
number of persons who refused to answer these questions upon request in person by special agents was nowhere
1 per cent, and generally was not one in a thousand.
The word "lot" is applied to real estate chiefly situated in cities and villages, and in their neighborhood if
withdrawn from agriciilture and subdivided or intended for urban uses. The area of a lot is not uniform, of course,
but the principal significance of the term is that it describes a subdivision of land upon which a man's home is or
may be located, or which may be used for business, manufactiu-ing, or other purposes apart from agriculture.
The word " acres " covers all other real estate, chiefly agricultural, but including pastures, woodland, mining
land, and suburban tracts not subdivided into lots. It sometimes occurs that mines, mining plants, or stone
quarries are embraced in mortgages covering acres, and that for this reason very much larger sums of monej^ are
borrowed on such real estate than the surface of the land is worth. Cases of this kind tend to increase slightly the
average incumbrance per acre in counties where they are found.
In the case of a mortgage covering real estate in two or more counties the area and the debt have necessarily
been apportioned among the coimties. In this way one mortgage has been counted as many times as there are
counties containing the incumbered real estate. A mortgage for $1,000, for instance, covering real estate in one
county worth $1,200 and in another county worth $800, has been tabulated as one mortgage in each coimty, one, for
$600 and the other for $400.
THE RESULTS IN AIiABAlIA AND IOWA— RECORDED INDEBTEDNESS.
The tables herewith presented are subject to final correction, which is not likely to change materially any
result. ,
Table 1, for Alabama and Iowa, exhibits the number and amount of recorded real estate mortgages
acknowledged during the ten years 1880-'89, and discloses the extent to which real estate owners have incurred
debt and obtained property upon these securities. The industrial development of Alabama is coincident with the
great and sudden growth of mortgage indebtedness in that state. The beginning of this development is especially
apparent in 1886, when the recorded debt was $10,290,743, an increase of 79.35 per cent over 1885. The amount
charged against 1887 was $22,400,371, an increase of 117.67 per cent over the preceding year. In the following year
the amount fell to $13,851,848, and in 1889 to $13,419,149. Before the great increase of indebtedness in 1886 the
indebtedness incurred yearly was $2,610,504 in 1880, $4,210,198 m 1881, $6,431,650 iu 1882, $5,628,155 in 1883,
THE RESULTS IN ALABAMA AND IOWA. 11
$6,519,339 in 1884, and $5,737,666 in 1885. The indebtedness placed upon record during the ten years was
$91,099,623, but all of this is not existing indebtedness.
Of the recorded debt of the state for ten years 48.10 per cent is found in the counties to which the growth of
ti-ade and manufactures is chieflj^ confined, namely, Calhoun, Colbert, DeKalb, Jefferson, Lauderdale, Madison,
Morgan, Shelby, Tuscaloosa, and Walker. These counties contain 20.94 per cent of the population.
The amount of indebtedness recorded against acres in Alabama in ten years was $64,299,154, or 70.58 per cent
of the total for acres and lots. It increased from $2,018,822 in 1880 to $15,922,921 in 1887, from which year the
amount decreased to $7,470,088 in 1889.
There was a general increase of indebtedness recorded against lots, fi-om $591,682 in 1880 to $5,949,061 in 1889,
which is the largest yearly amount, except $6,477,450 in 1887. The total for lots for ten years was $26,800,469, or
29.42 per cent of the total recorded mortgage indebtedness.
In Iowa the amomit of mortgage indebtedness placed upon record during the ten years was $431,288,542, apart
of which has been paid. The increase from $28,905,447 in 1880 to $35,659,051 in 1881 was 23.36 per cent. In 1882
the amount recorded was $44,721,618, a gain of 25.41 per cent over 1881. The amount varied from $42,716,331 to
$46,851,309 during the six years 1883-'88, and in 1889 the amount was $50,902,370.
About one-quarter of the recorded debt of Iowa for ten years, 24.56 per cent, is found in the counties of Clinton,
Des Moines, Dubuque, Linn, Marshall, Polk, Pottawattamie, Scott, and Woodbury, containing, respectively, tlie cities
of Clinton, Burlington, Dubuque, Cedar Rapids, Marshalltown, Des Moines, Council Bluffs, Davenport, and Sioux
City. These counties contain 21.40 per cent of the population of the state.
In Iowa an indebtedness of $324,484,031, or 75.24 per cent of the whole amount, was recorded against acres in
the ten years, tlie annual amount being about stationary from 1882 to 1889, during which time it ranged from
$31,955,121 to $36,689,121. The amount in 1880 was $22,476,796 ; in 1889, $.34,763,374.
The indebtedness placed on lots in Iowa during the ten-year period was $106,804,511, or 24.76 per cent of the
total recorded mortgage indebtedness. The increase was almost unbroken from year to year from $6,428,651 in 1880
to $16,138,996 in 1889.
The total number of mortgages made in Alabama during the ten-year period was 93,828, with a general increase
from 4,666 in 1880 to 13,643 in 1889. These totals do not include mortgages that do not state the amount of
indebtedness. Such mortgages are often made to secure an annuity or the support of the mortgagee for life, and
in other cases are generally intended to secure an indefinite future indebtechiess, which may or may not become
actual. With the exception of the incumbered acres and lots, they have no part in any average or percentage
presented, nor in anj^ totals but those belonging exclusively to themselves. In the 102 counties, however, the
amount of indebtedness was ascertained for all mortgages not stating amount of debt except the annuity and life-
support mortgages.
Of the total number of mortgages stating amount of debt recorded in Alabama during the ten years, 73,312, or
78.13 per cent of the total against acres and lots, were made against acres, the increase from year to year being gradual,
and on the whole general, from 3,972 in 1880 to 9,224 in 1889.
The increase in the yearly number of mortgages stating amount of debt i-ecorded against lots in Alabama was
more mai-ked, the number in 1880 being 694 ; in 1889, 4,419, wdth only one year, 1888, showing a decrease from any
preceding year. The total niimber of mortgages on lots for the ten years was 20,516, or 21.87 per cent of the total
on acres and lots.
The mortgages stating debt made in Iowa during the period of ten years numbered 497,710. In 1880 the
number was 38,928 ; in 1882, 54,030, since which time the annual number has remained about stationary, but has
never equaled that of 1882.
There was a total of 340,695 mortgages stating debt on acres in Iowa for the ten years, or 68.45 per cent of the
total on acres and lots. In 1880 the number was 28,354, from which it rose to 38,689 in 1882 ; then the decline was
on the whole general, to 33,866 in 1889.
On lots the mortgages of ten years stating debt in Iowa numbered 157,015, or 31.55 per cent of the total number
on acres and lots. The number increased from 10,574 in 1880 to 20,016 in 1889.
The average mortgage in Alabama for the ten-year period was $970.92 ; the average for acres, $877.06 ; for lots,
$1,306.32. In Iowa the average mortgage was $866.55 ; for acres, $952.42 ; for lots, $680.22.
The number of acres in Alabama covered by mortgage during the ten years was 16,175,153, the increase being
irregailar, from 819,947 acres in 1880 to 2,486,176 in 1887, fi'om which year the decline has been unbroken to 1,744,420
acres in 1889. The acreage mortgaged included a large proportion of mineral lands, but no attempt was made to
keep a separate account.
In getting the number of mortgaged acres it has been necessary to estimate to some extent, as fully appears in
the tables. Eveiy mortgage does not mention the number of acres it incumbers ; the tract may be described by
courses and distances, or it may be bounded in the contract by a river and the land of various men, with no reference
12
FARMS, HOMES, AND MORTGAGES.
to the number of acres. To these mortgages has been applied the average number of acres covered by mortgages
stating the number of acres.
The mortgages of the ten years incumbered 34,649 lots in Alabama, and the number increased irregularly from
1,204 in 1880 to 7,598 in 1889.
The number of acres mortgaged in Iowa during the ten years was 32,627,928. The annual number increased
from 2,672,668 acres in 1880 to 3,759,211 in 1882, from which year the decline was imbroken to 2,986,697 in 1888.
The number in 1889 was 3,240,432.
In the same state the number of lots mortgaged annually increased from 18,016 in 1S80 to 46,377 in 1888, from
which year the decline was to 37,317 in 1889. The total number of mortgaged lots for the ten years was 292,097.
The average number of acres per mortgage in Alabama for the period of ten years was 220.14, and the average
amount of incurred indebtedness per acre was $3.98. A mortgage covered 1.69 lots on the average, and the
indebtedness placed on one lot averaged $774.58.
In Iowa a mortgage covered on the average 95.72 acres, and the incurred indebtedness per acre was $9.95. The
average indebtedness per lot was $365.85, and a mortgage incumbered 1.86 lots.
EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS.
The success with which the amount of existing indebtedness has been computed is jjresented in the accompanying
table. Application of the process has been made to such of the 102 counties already mentioned as are available
for the purpose, and the known amount of existing debt shows the error of the computed debt.

The computed debt exhibited in this table is obtained in accordance with the plan already outlined, which
differs in nowise from that employed in computing the amount of existing debt in the counties in Alabama and
Iowa where sj)ecial investigations were not conducted for the purpose of arriving at the true amount of the debt
in force. The selection of these six counties in Alabama and Iowa for the special investigation already described
had for one of its objects the discovery of facts that could be used for j)roving or disproving the plan adopted by
the Census Office for arriving at the amount of debt in force by computation. The results obtained in these two
states prove the substantial accuracy of this plan. It is demonstrated by the positively known amount of debt in
force in the special counties that the errors of computation in these states are small, the percentages of error in the
special counties being less than 9, and in some cases less than 1. Such accurate results as these, however, can not be
expected in counties whose recorded debt is small, and whose existing debt is no greater than a few hundred or a few
thousand dollars. But while the percentages of error in such cases may be large, the number of dollars constituting
the error is insignificant.
The computation of the debt in force is presented in Table 2. In Alabama this amounts to $39,027,983, of
which $28,762,387, or 73.70 per cent of the total, is on acres, and $10,265,596, or 26.30 per cent of the total, is on
lots. The total is obtained by adding the existing debt on acres to the existing debt on lots, and is not obtained by
computation. A large proportion of the debt on acres, as already stated, is due to investments in mining and iron
and steel manufacture. In Calhoun county the debt is $1,492,162; Colbert county, $1,406,460 ; De Kalb county,
$795,047 ; Jefferson county, $14,792,189 ; Lauderdale county, $898,182 ; Madison county, $731,144 ; Morgan county,
$1,571,061; Shelby county, $1,035,992 ; Tuscaloosa county, $1,459,562; AValker county, $912,137. These are
counties where industrial enterprise has recently appeared, and their total debt is $25,093,936, or 64.30 per'cent of
the total debt of the state, while their population is 20.94 per cent of the total population of the state. The debt of
Dallas county, containing the city of Selma, is $632,755 ; of Mobile county, containing the city of Mobile, $468,894,
and of Montgomery county, containing the capital of the state, $1,307,625.
EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS-INTEREST RATES. 13
The pei" capita indebtedness of the state is $26. The amount is highly variable among the coiinties, and is
relatively large in counties where recent investments of capital have been large. The per capita indebtedness of
Jefferson county is $167 ; of Colbert coimty, $70, and of Morgan county, $6-5. These three counties have the highest
ratios in the state. The average decreases down to $3 to one of population in Marion and Winston counties.
The average life of mortgages in Alabama is short in comparison with the life of mortgages in the north.
The reason for this seems to be that renewals are more frequent in the south. Generally, the life of a mortgage in
Alabama is Jfi-om two and one-half to three and one-half years. The average life of a mortgage on acres is longer
than the average life of a mortgage on lots by eighty-four one-hundredths of a year. Taking the average for the
state, the life of a mortgage on acres is 2.977249 years ; on lots, 2.136208 years ; total, 2.734047 years. It has been
impossible to obtain the life of mortgages in every county in Alabama and in most of the other states. In some
counties no mortgages of 1880-'83 have been canceled of record ; in other counties the records were in such a
confused condition that the expense of taking the cancellations would have been too great ; while in the counties
that have been recently settled no mortgages covering real estate were made during 1880-'83. The life of mortgages
in such counties has been supplied hy the life ascertained in neighboring counties.
The proportion of partial payments, made on the face of the total amount of mortgages in force in Alabama on
acres, is 10.68 per cent ; on lots, 10.83 per cent ; total, 10.72 per cent. The percentage of partial payments applied to
the total amount of existing mortgages in each county is an average of the partial payments made upon the mortgages
in force on acres and lots separately, the result being a true average percentage, derived from the nvimber of dollars
constitutuig the partial payments, and not directly from averaging the percentages of partial payments found in
counties where they were ascertained by special investigation. Without carrying the decimals to six places the
percentages of pai-tial payments made upon the total debt on acres and lots will not in all cases precisely compute
the number of dollars actually obtained by adding the partial payments separately made on acres and lots. The
plus sign ( + ) is used after a percentage that is too large, and the minus sign (— ) after a percentage that is too small.
The discrepancy due to the omission of these two places in the decimal is small. The existing debt for the state
also can not be exactly computed by the average life given, because the number should liave a decimal of more than
six jjlaces.
The total existing real estate mortgage indebtedness of Iowa is $199,034,956, 74.77 per cent of which, or
$148,814,645, is on acres, and 25.23 per cent, or $50,220,311, on lots. In Clinton county the debt is $4,777,849 ; Des
Moines county, $2,365,709 ; Dubuque county, $3,871,834 ; Linn county, $4,618,140 ; Marshall county, $2,607,902 ; Polk
county, $11,084,161 ; Pottawattamie county, $7,661,626 ; Scott county, $3,121,002 ; Woodbury county, $14,366,995.
These are the principal counties hi the state, and their existing indebtedness is 27.37 per cent of the total indebtedness
of the state, while their i^roportion of the state's population is 21.40. There is an average indebtedness of $104 to
one of population in the state. In Woodbury county it is $258 ; in Lyon county, $267, and in Osceola county, $208,
these ratios being the highest in the state, from which they descend to $36 for Dallas county, which is the lowest in
the state.
The average life of a mortgage on acres in Iowa is 5.068810 years ; on lots, 4.455800 years ; total, 4.933649 years.
The general uniformity of the life of mortgages, whether on acres or on lots, or on all real estate, is noticeable
throughout the counties of Iowa. Partial payments for the state represent 11.60 per cent of the face of the indebtedness
on acres, 14.19 per cent on lots, a total of 12.27 per cent.
The computations necessary to show the number of acres and lots incumbered by the existing debt have not yet
been completed for these two states, and considerable work remains to be done before these results will be known.
INTEREST RATES.
Attention has already been directed to the efforts of the Census Office to get actual rates of interest. Special
agents in Alabama and Iowa, as in other states, were placed on their guard against accepting any other rates, no
matter what jnight appear on the face of the contract ; yet it may be that they have sometimes been deceived.
In order to make a complete presentation of the interest statistics of these states much work still remains to be
done on the material now in this office, but for present purposes the following facts have been established :
The chief rate in Alabama is represented in Table 3 to have been 8 per cent, the recorded debt of the ten years
having borne that rate being 63.60 per cent of the total. The amount bearing interest at 6 per cent was 17.15 per
cent of the total ; the amount bearing interest at 7 per cent was 4.57 per cent of the total ; the amount beax'ing
interest at 12 and 12.5 per cent was 6.25 per cent of the total. Of the total recorded debt of $91,099,623, 11.49
per cent drew interest above 10 per cent and 88.51 per cent drew interest at 10 per cent or less. Above 8 per
cent all interest is usurious, and has been so during ten years previous to January 1, 1890. Usurious rates are, or
were, actually paid on 13.61 per cent of the recorded debt.
Interest at 8 per cent is, or was, paid on 48.60 per cent of the debt of Iowa recorded during the ten years ;
interest at 7 per cent on 21.91 per cent of the total ; interest at 10 per cent on 13.28 per cent of the total ; interest at
6 per cent on 12.88 per cent of the total ; interest above 10 per cent on 0.02 of 1 per cent of the total, and interest
14 FAEMS, HOMES, AND MOETGAGES.
at 10 per cent and les8 on 99.98 per cent of the total. The legal limit to the rate of interest is 10 per cent, and has
been so for ten years.
CLASSIFIED AMOUNTS OF LOANS.
As the mortgages are classified by amounts of loans in Table 4, the chief class of Alabama was that of $100
and under $200, 21.07 per cent of the total number of mortgages for the ten years having been in this class ; 16.47
per cent were in the class of under $100, and 15.35 per cent in the class of $500 and under $1,000. The mortgages
under $] ,000 were 82.07 per cent of the total number ; under $5,000, 97.57 per cent of the total ; $10,000 and over,
0.90 of 1 per cent of the total. Fifty mortgages were for $100,000 or over.
The leading class of mortgages in Iowa was that of $500 and under $1,000, which contained 27.91 per cent of
the total number of mortgages for the ten years. The mortgages under $1,000 were 70.87 per cent of the total
number ; imder $5,000, 98.69 per cent of the total ; $10,000 and over, 0.26 of 1 per cent of the total. Seventeen
mortgages were for $100,000 and over.
SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS.
Jefferson and Greene counties, Alabama, and Cass, Crawford, Delaware, and Johnson counties, Iowa, were
selected for special investigation, which was successful in all of them. An examination of the tables for these
counties will show the variety of the information obtained and an analysis of mortgage indebtedness surpassing
reasonable expectations. Prominent among the discoveries of these investigations are the following particulars :
The amount of existing indebtedness with accuracy ; the amount and proportion of the partial payments made upon
the original amount of this indebtedness ; the number of years during which it is necessary to proceed backward in
order to find all, or nearly all, of the mortgages in force, generally about twenty years ; the number of acres and lots
covered by the debt in force ; the extent to which the mortgages uncanceled of record are fully or partly paid, to
this extent apparently and actually exaggerating the true indebtedness ; a verification of the plan of investigation
by the Census Office in counties where these special inquiries were not made ; the disposition of the people to disclose
information which is regarded as private in its character ; and, lastly, what is of vital importance to an understanding
of the mortgage question, and, indeed, of indebtedness in general, the motives that impel people to incur indebtedness
and obtain the ownership of the wealth of others' with obligation and security to repay. In these six counties the
existing mortgage indebtedness was ascertained by application to mortgageors, mortgagees, and others who had the
required information.
JEFFERSON COUNTY, ALABAMA..
Jefferson county, Alabama, which contains the citj^ of Birmingham, has increased in population from 23,272 in
1880 to 88,501 in 1890, or 280.29 per cent, and, it is believed, has grown in a greater ratio in trade and manufactures.
Its rapid industrial development has taken place within the ten years, and during this time Birmingham has become
one of the most thriving cities of the south, being classed in this respect with Chattanooga, Knoxville, JSTashville
(Tennessee), and Atlanta (Georgia).
Table 5 shows that the existing real estate mortgage debt of Jefferson county January 1, 1890, was $14,792,189,
or $167 to one of population. This indebtedness was almost entirely incurred in the three years 1887-'89. The
amount on acres is $9,653,122, or 65.26 per cent of the total, and on lots $5,139,067, or 34.74 per cent. Investments
charged to acres chiefly represent coal and iron mining and iron and steel manufacturing, and investments
charged to lots chiefly represent real estate purchase, trade, and building in Birmingham. Of the original amount
of the existing debt the partial payments are 6.81 per cent. Of the original amount of the existing debt on acres
the partial pajnnents are 4.85 per cent, and on lots 10.30 per cent, as shown in Table 6.
The period covered by these statistics is the twenty years 1870-'89, which is sufficient in length to include all
of the mortgages in force. The number of acres covered by existing debt is 245,580, or 37.72 per cent of the number
of assessed acres, 651,034, rei^orted by the auditor of the state in 1889. The number of lots covered by existing debt
is 4,394 (see Table 6).
Twenty-nine hundred and twenty-seven mortgages are in force, of which 653 are against acres and 2,274
against lots. The average amount of unpaid debt to each mortgage in force is $5,053.70 ; on acres, $14,782.73 ; on
lots, $2,259.92. The average amount of living debt to each incumbered acre is $39.31 ; to each lot, $1,169.56. A
mortgage on acres covers on an average 376.08 acres, and a mortgage on lots covers 1.93 lots. There is one existing
mortgage to 30 of population.
As exhibited in Table 7, the objects of indebtedness in Jefferson county include a large variety of human
motive, though necessarily confined to pui-poses requiring the use of wealth, with ability to secure the return of its
equivalent to the lender by a lien on real estate. The original amount of mortgages in force is more intimately
related to the objects for which debt is incurred than is the amount unpaid ; hence the ratio of the amount of debt of
each class to the total amount of debt is computed with the original amounts as they stand before partial payments
have been deducted.
To secure purchase money, otherwise known as deferred payments or the vendor's lien, is the leading object of
mortgage debt in Jefferson county, the percentage of the debt incurred for this purpose being 63.79 of the total, as
SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS. 15
appears in Table 8. Improvements come next, with 20.50 per cent. Two or more objects are often combined in
tlie same transaction, and no attempt has been made to separate them and credit to each the debt for which it was
incurred, the fear being at the beginning of the investigation in this and other counties that only partial success
would be achieved, and that the magnitude and difficulty of the undertaking were, perhaps, already too great.
Purchase and improvements in combination represent 4.37 per cent of the face of the debt in Jefferson county ;
the purchase of land in addition to land already owned, 3.51 per cent; business purposes, 2.95 per cent. It is
uudoubtedly true that some of the purchase money includes debt incurred for bushiess purposes, and possibly
debt incurred for the purchase of more land. An element of business is also embraced in impi-ovements. Purchase
of the incumbered and other real estate, improvements, and business, singly and combined with each other, include
95.84 per cent of the total face of the debt in this county. This does not include these objects when combined
with other objects. A considerable amount of the debt was incurred in the purchase of personal property, which
is often unidentified or so complicated with other objects that it can not be separated. The mortgages are also
classified by object and amount, and the analysis may be examined in Table 8, in which it is made.
GREENE COUNTY, ALABAMA.
Greene county, Alabama, is the opposite of Jefferson county. It has little wealth, is without enterprise, and
agriculture is almost the sole occupation of the people. In 1880, 82.83 per cent of the population were black. The
total population in 1890 was 22,007, an increase of 76 persons in ten years. The existing debt is $159,831, or $7 to
one of population. The debt on acres is $155,796 ; on lots, $4,035. The number of incumbered acres is 76,105, or
18.86 per cent of the number of assessed acres, 403,462, reported by the auditor of the state in 1889. The number of
mortgaged lots is 10. The number of mortgages m force on acres is 176; on lots, 9 ; total, 185. The average
mortgage is $863.95 ; on acres, $885.20 ; on lots, $448.33. The average incumbrance to an acre is $2.05 ; to a lot,
$403.50. There are 432.41 incumbered acres to a mortgage on acres, and 1.11 incumbered lots to a mortgage on
lots. The partial payments are 17.15 per cent of the face of the debt; 17.26 per cent of the face of the debt on
acres; 12.70 per cent of the face of the debt on lots. To every 119 of population there is one mortgage in force.
N"one of the existmg debt was incurred iu 1873, and it was not learned that any of it was incurred before that year.
Nearly the entu-e debt was made in the last seven years.
The objects of indebtedness in Greene county are comparatively few. Purchase money represents 30.66 per
cent of the face of the debt; the expense of running farms and the buying of farm proijerty, 21.41 per cent; the
purchase of more real estate, 17.30 per cent ; business, 11.45 per cent ; improvements, 7.74 per cent ; family expenses,
5.35 per cent ; pui-chase, the buying of more land, improvements, and business, 68.31 per cent, excepting these
objects when combined with others.
CASS COUNTY, IOWA.
The people of Cass county, Iowa, are chiefly engaged in agriculture and stock raising. The farms are well
improved, and farmers are provided with the best agricultural implements and machines. Most of the settlers of
this county began poor and in debt, and many of the present mortgages are renewals of previous mortgages bearing
higher rates of interest. The population numbers 19,645, an increase of 15.95 per cent in ten years.
The existing debt of this county is $2,463,243, of which $2,137,170, or 86.76 per cent of the total, is on acres,
and $326,073, or 13.24 per cent of the total, on lots. The debt to one of the popiilation is $125. On acres the number
of mortgages in force is 1,967; on lots, 539; total, 2,506. Average amount to a mortgage on acres, $1,086.51 ; on
lots, $604.96 ; total, $982.94. Mortgages cover 189,270 acres and 1,086 lots. Of the assessed number of acres,
reported by the auditor of the state in 1890 to be 359,411, 52.66 percent are mortgaged. A mortgage on acres
covers 96.22 acres on the average ; a mortgage on lots, 2.01 lots. The average debt to a mortgaged acre is $11.29 ;
to a mortgaged lot, $300.25. To each mortgage in force there is an average of eight people. The partial payments
are 6.68 per cent of the face of the debt on acres ; 15.65 per cent of the face of the debt on lots ; total, 7.97 per cent.
It was impossible to ascertain the amount unpaid of two mortgages made to secure a debt of $5,700.
The few mortgages in this and some others of the 102 counties, about which the special agents of the
Census Office could obtain no information, are not included in any totals but those which are exclusively their own.
The probability is that these mortgages represent little, if any, existing debt. They were specially difficult cases,
calling for expensive journeys and searches of real estate and court records to find persons who could answer inquiries,
and it sometimes happened that all knowledge of any of the recxuu-ed facts had been lost by deaths.
In Cass, as in the other Iowa counties, the objects of indebtedness are numerous, and are considerably complicated
with each other. Of the face of the debt in this county 67.47 per cent was incurred for purchase money and 91.13
per cent for purchase of the mortgaged and other real estate, improvements, and business, when not complicated
with other objects.
CEAWFORD COUNTY, IOWA. -
Crawford county, Iowa, is purely an agricultural county, and it is not many years since its prairie sod was
turned over for the first time for the purpose of cultivation. Stock raising has been added to agriculture. The
16 FARMS, HOISIES, AND MORTGAGES.
population is largely foreign, the German and Irish people predominating. The present population is 18,894, an
increase of 52.21 per cent over 1880. It is represented that no excessive financial distress or sudden industrial
expansion has visited this county. The low prices which have ruled for farm products during the past few years have
in some measure, it is said, retarded the prosperity of the people. The county was settled mainly by persons who
were comparatively poor, most of whom were unable to pay more than a small proportion of the purchase price of
their farms. During the past few years nearly all mortgages drawing a high rate of interest have been paid off by
the borrowing of money at low rates.
The debt of this county is $2,584,099, of which 95.50 per cent, or §2,467,905, is on acres, and 4.50 per cent, or
§116,194, on lots. Against acres, 2,306 mortgages are in force ; against lots, 240 mortgages; total, 2,546. The per
capita debt is S137. The average mortgage on acres is $1,070.21 ; on lots, $484.14 ; total, $1,014.96. Mortgages
incumber 298,592 acres and 574 lots ; average debt per acre, $8.27 ; per lot, $202.43. On the average there are
129.48 mortgaged acres to a mortgage on acres, and the mortgaged lots average 2.39 to a mortgage on lots. There is
a ratio of one mortgage to seven people. Of the assessed number of acres, 444,036, 67.24 per cent are mortgaged.
Partial payments are 7.12 per cent of the face of the debt on acres ; 14.25 per cent on lots ; total, 7.47 per cent. No
information was obtained regarchng one mortgage for $288.
Again, purchase money is the prominent object, representing in this county 64.11 per cent of the original
amount of the mortgages. Purchase of the mortgaged and other real estate, improvements, and business, when not
complicated with other objects, represent 90.33 per cent.
DELAWARE COUNTY, IOWA.
Delaware county, Iowa, is on the prairie, with its population mostly native born, and chiefly engaged in
agi-iculture, stock raising, and dairy farming. The county is somewhat noted for its dairy products, and its
creameries are generallj^ owned by farmers and operated on the co-operative plan. It is represented as being one
of the most prosperous counties in the state. The population is 17,349, a decrease of 601 in ten years.
The debt of Delaware county is $1,636,109 ; 89.99 per cent of the total, or $1,472,298, is on acres; $163,811, or
10.01 per cent of the total, on lots. On acres the number of mortgages is 1,254 ; on lots, 283 ; total, 1,537.
The average mortgage is $1,174.08 on acres; $578.84 on lots; total, $1,064.48. Mortgages cover 123,961 acres and
534 lots. To eleven of population there is one mortgage, and to one of population there is a debt of $94. Each
mortgaged acre represents a debt of $11.88 ; each mortgaged lot, $306.76. There are on an average 98.85 acres to a
mortgage on acres and 1.89 lots to a mortgage on lots. Of the assessed number of acres, 356,585, 34.76 per cent
are mortgaged. In the case of acres the partial payments are 14.19 per cent of the face of the mortgages ; lots,
12.67 per cent ; total, 14.04 per cent.
The mortgages in this county are chiefly made for purchase money, the proportion of the total amoimt of the
face of the debt for this purpose being 66.47 per cent. The purchase of the mortgaged and other real estate,
improvements, and business, when not combined with other objects, amount to 88.80 per cent.
JOHNSON COUNTY, IOWA.
The population of Johnson county, Iowa, is 23,082, a decrease of 2,347 in ten years. There is a large proportion
of Bohemians among the foreign-born population, the remainder being principally German and Irish. Attempts in
the past to develop manufactiu-es have to some extent been disastrous, and farming and stock raising are now the
principal occupations of the people. The county has never had a boom, and it is reported that the peox^le are
increasing then- Avelfare slowly but sui-ely.
This county has a debt of $1,769,666, of which 87.37 per cent, or $1,546,132, is on acres, and 12.63 per cent, or
$223,534, on lots. The per capita debt is $77. The number of mortgages on acres is 1,468 ; on lots, 391 ; total,
1,859. Mortgages cover 139,642 acres and 624 lots. The average mortgage is $951.94 ; on acres, $1,053.22 ; on lots,
$571.70. A mortgage on acres incumbers 95.12 acres on the average, and a mortgage on lots incumbers 1.60 lots ; and
there is an average debt of $11.07 on each acre, and of $358.23 on each lot. There is one mortgage to twelve people,
and 36.05 per cent of the assessed number of acres, which is 387,316, are mortgaged. Partial payments are 17.16
per cent of the face of the mortgages on acres ; 13.98 per cent on lots ; total, 16.77 per cent.
For purchase money 71.32 per cent of the debt was incurred, and for the purchase of mortgaged and other real
estate, improvements, and business, when not combined with other objects, 93.47 per cent of the debt was incurred.
The results in the counties in which mortgages were the subject of special investigation outside of the real estate
records verifj^ the pi'ocess by which the amount of existing indebtedness is ascertained in. other counties. In the
tables for these counties appear the actual amount of debt in force, the amount of the mortgages u.ncanceled of record,
and the amount of partial paj* ments, and all of these amounts are analj- zed, so that they are shown by the years
when the mortgages were made. This analj^sis discloses how much of truth there is in the real estate records as
they stand for existing indebtedness, and it leads to the same result substantially by a direct examination that is
produced by the indu-ect process of arriving at the indebtedness in force by taking the average life of mortgages and
the partial payments that have been made.
