In summary, the 1871 NY Literacy Census was conducted to gather data on the literacy rates of New York residents and identify any disparities or gaps in education. The data was collected through surveys and interviews by census takers who went door-to-door. It includes information on age, gender, occupation, literacy level, country of birth, race, and native/foreign-born status. The data can be accessed through online databases and can be used by researchers to analyze literacy rates and trends, study the impact of education and socioeconomic factors, and gain insights into the demographics of New York residents during this time period.

Thanks,
I checked it at UH (University of Hawaii) and it turns out that around 60,000 about 1/3 of the voting population was illiterate. Another fact to support my paper.
