Like previous censuses, the 1940 U.S. census is divided by state, by county, and then by enumeration district (ED). Whenever we source a census record, it's important to include the publication number, the microfilm number, and the ED number. Since the 1940 census was released on April 2, 2012, without an everyname index, those ED numbers become critically important while waiting for various volunteer groups to finish indexing the census.
If you have the 1940 street address but need the ED number, check Steve Morse's Unified 1940 Census ED Finder. Type in the address, select "ED description," and then "More Details" for ED number.
If you have your ED number, you can focus your research on a specific location. Besides the National Archives and Record Administration's official 1940 census site, other web sites such as MyHeritage.com, FamilySearch, and Ancestry are hosting the 3.8 million images.
For the 1940 census, the publication number is T627. Below, you will find a chart that includes the microfilm number, county (city), and ED numbers.
