144 West 10th Street
In the analysis of the 1930 and 1940s census data from 144 West 10th Street in Greenwich Village, the portion that stands out the most is that every single person is categorized as white. There were no other races accounted for. In comparing sexes, both had a majority of females living in the area with 60% in 1930 and 58.8% in 1940. From the analysis, some of this count can be due to the ratio of daughters to sons in the area, however, not conclusive. Ages ranged from 7 to 77 with the average age being 41.02 in 1930. For 1940, ages ranged from 78 to 3 and the average being 40.55. The similarity in both range and average can be due to the majority of the people possibly living in the same area. In both censuses, the larger average of residents were born in New York or states around New York. These states include (but not all) Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. The percentage of people born in New York was 52% (1930) and 55.7% (1940).

In the 1940s, the percentage of these European descent deceased with Ireland (2.5%), Italy (6.3%), Belgium (2.5%), Russia (5.1%), Argentina (1%), and Spain (1%). The total in 1940 was only 18.8%.
