Joseph Adna Hill (1860–1938) was an American statistician, born at Stewartstown, New Hampshire. Hill was descended from "an elite, old-line New England family," and attended many well-regarded educational institutions: after graduating from Phillips Exeter he attended Harvard University, graduating in 1885, and completed his graduate studies at the University of Halle (Ph.D.) in 1892. He published The English Income Tax with Special Reference to Administration and Method of Assessment (1899).

  • Joseph Adna Hill (1860-1938) fue un estadístico estadounidense, nacido en Stewartstown, New Hampshire. Hill descendía de "una familia de élite de Nueva Inglaterra"​ y asistió a muchas instituciones educativas reconocidas: después de graduarse de Phillips Exeter, asistió a la Universidad de Harvard, se graduó en 1885 y completó sus estudios de posgrado en la Universidad. de Halle (Ph.D.) en 1892. Publicó The English Income Tax with Special Reference to Administration and Method of Assessment (El impuesto sobre la renta en inglés con referencia especial a la administración y al método de evaluación) (1899). En 1899, realizó trabajos estadísticos para la Oficina del Censo de los Estados Unidos, de los cuales se convirtió en jefe de estadística en 1909. A este respecto, tenía a su cargo los informes del censo sobre trabajo infantil, analfabetismo, matrimonio y divorcio, mujeres en el trabajo y un informe para la sobre las ocupaciones de inmigrantes. Fue autor de muchos informes censales sobre trabajo infantil, locura, divorcio y temas afines. Hill estaba particularmente interesado en la raza y la nacionalidad, y agregó preguntas y categorías al censo en 1910 y 1920 que registrarían información más detallada sobre esos temas, entre ellos volver a usar la designación racial de "mulato" que había sido eliminado del Censo de 1900.​ Fue nombrado Subdirector del Censo en 1921. Aunque revisado por Edward Vermilye Huntington, a Hill se le atribuye la concepción del Método de Proporciones Iguales o el método Huntington-Hill de asignación de escaños de la Cámara de Representantes de los Estados Unidos a los estados, en función de sus poblaciones determinadas en el censo de los Estados Unidos. Este algoritmo matemático se ha utilizado en los EE. UU. Desde 1941 y actualmente es el método utilizado.​ (es)

He published The English Income Tax with Special Reference to Administration and Method of Assessment (1899). In 1899 he took on statistical work for the United States Census Bureau, of which he became chief statistician in 1909. In this connection he had charge of census reports on child labor, illiteracy, marriage and divorce, women at work, and a report for the Immigration Commission on occupations of immigrants. He was the author of many census reports on child labor, the insane, divorce, and kindred subjects. Hill was particularly interested in race and nationality and added questions and categories to the census in both 1910 and 1920 that would record more detailed information on those subjects, among them, returning to use the racial designation of "mulatto" that had been removed from the 1900 census. He was appointed Assistant Director of the Census in 1921. Although revised by Edward Vermilye Huntington, Hill is credited with the conception of the Method of Equal Proportions or Huntington–Hill method of apportionment of seats in the U.S. House of Representatives to the states, as a function of their populations determined in the U.S. Census[1]. This mathematical algorithm has been used in the U.S. since 1941 and is currently the method used. (en)
