The US 1880 census took over 7 years to complete. With the expanding population and new additional data collection requirements, the US 1890 census was expected to take longer than 10 years which would fail to meet the requirements of the constitution for apportioning the membership of Congress to the states. It was decided to have a competition for new sysstems for doing the census.
Herman Hollerith is the US Census Bureau worker that won the competition for a new system of performing a census. His system based on punchcards and electromechanical machines was then used in the US 1890 census. The US 1890 census was completed in a little over a year. Additional data was extracted and tabulated in the next couple years. He founded the Tabulating Machine Company, which was later to become IBM.
