− | New Orleans merchant and acting U.S. vice-consul Daniel Clark, Jr. compiled a census of Louisiana and West Florida in which he listed Pensacola's population as "not exceeding" 300 (less than half of the [[1802|previous year's]] official census), but offered no breakdown by age, sex or ethnicity. It is possible Clark requested figures from city officials and received a deliberately low number from residents wary of a head tax and a tax on slaves. Another visitor to the area, Frenchman Paul Alliot, estimated Pensacola's population at "1,000 souls" that same year.
