According to the National Archives and Records Administration the
1940 and later censuses are not available to the public use due to a
statutory 72-year restriction on access for privacy reasons. (92 Stat. 915;
Public Law 95-416; October 5, 1978).
To make application (named person, family or legal representatives only) for
this restricted information, visit the United States Census Bureau
"age search"
service where they will "search the confidential records from the Federal
population censuses of 1940 to 1990 and issue an official transcript of the
results (for a congressionally mandated fee)."
