 Thank you for posting your question on History Hub! 
 The United States government has taken a census of population every ten years since 1790. This includes a census in 1920 and a census in 1930. 
 The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has the censuses from 1790 to 1950. These records are available online. Please see the Search Census Records Online and Other Resources web page for more information and links to the digitized records. 
 Additionally, some states took their own censuses of population during your time period of interest, typically in different years than the federal census. The State of New York, for example, took censuses in 1915 and 1925. Please see the U.S. Census Bureau's State Censuses web page for more information. Some state censuses may be available online. 
 We hope this assists you with your research!
