Thomas W. Prosch reported on the population in each city district and the cost incurred by the census takers or "enumerators." The results of the census are reported in the report. The district number, enumerator's name, and number of inhabitants in each district are listed. Prosch states "it establishes conclusively the lead of Seattle among the cities of the State, the population found here almost equalling in numbers the combined poeples of the two next largest cities." Prosch also compares the numbers to previous years, stating that "in round numbers Seattle contains twelve times as many inhabitants today as it contained ten years ago."
