In 1900 Louis was living at Watkins Street, Brooklyn, New York CityG, and was recorded in the census as Louis Sacofsky, a tailor, head of household, aged 52 and born in Russia. He rented his home.

In 1905 he was living at Stone Avenue, Brooklyn, New York CityG, and was recorded as Louis Sacofsky, a tailor, head of household, aged 56. Living with him were his wife "Eva" (presumably an enumeration error for Rosa), 53, and their children, Harry, 20, Lillie, 18, and Jessie, aged eleven.7
