Another “nonpopulation” schedule, the 1880 Defective, Dependent, and Delinquent schedule, enumerates both whites and nonwhites. People from prisons, jails, mental hospitals, or orphanages, for example, were enumerated like others in 1880 population schedule. The enumeration may contain the person’s home residence, as well as other data which varied from class to class. (This enumeration may be found on Ancestry.com.) Here is an example from Mobile County, Alabama.
