We provide, for the first time, a detailed and comprehensive overview of the demography of more than 50,000 towns, villages, and manors in 1871 Prussia. We study religion, literacy, fertility, and group segregation by location type (town, village, and manor). We find that Jews live predominantly in towns. Villages and manors are substantially segregated by denomination, whereas towns are less segregated. Yet, we find relatively lower levels of segregation by literacy. Regression analyses with county-fixed effects show that a larger share of Protestants is associated with higher literacy rates across all location types. A larger share of Jews relative to Catholics is not significantly associated with higher literacy in towns, but it is in villages and manors. Finally, a larger share of Jews is associated with lower fertility in towns, which is not explained by differences in literacy.

普鲁士的分解：1871 年普鲁士地区的人口统计

我们首次提供了对 1871 年普鲁士 50,000 多个城镇、村庄和庄园的人口统计的详细而全面的概述。我们按地点类型（城镇、村庄和庄园）研究宗教、识字率、生育率和群体隔离。我们发现犹太人主要居住在城镇。村庄和庄园基本上按教派隔离，而城镇的隔离较少。然而，我们发现读写能力的隔离程度相对较低。具有县固定效应的回归分析表明，较大比例的新教徒与所有地点类型的较高识字率相关。与天主教徒相比，较大比例的犹太人与城镇较高的识字率没有显着相关性，但在村庄和庄园中却是如此。最后，较大比例的犹太人与城镇生育率较低有关，
