Census Population and Housing Characteristics
Summary File 1 (SF 1) contains the 100-percent data, which is the information compiled from the questions asked of all people and about every housing unit. Population items include sex, age, race, Hispanic or Latino, household relationship, and group quarters. Housing items include occupancy status, vacancy status, and tenure (owner occupied or renter occupied).
There is a total of 171 population tables and 56 housing tables down to the block level, and 59 population tables down to the census tract level for a total of 286 tables. There are 14 population tables and 4 housing tables down to the block level, and 4 population tables shown down to the census tract level that are repeated by major race and Hispanic or Latino groups2.
SF 1 includes population and housing characteristics for the total population, population totals for an extensive list of race (American Indian and Alaska Native tribes, Asian, and Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander) and Hispanic or Latino groups, and population and housing characteristics for a limited list of race and Hispanic or Latino groups.
