description: All persons and housing units in the United States and Puerto Rico.
description: Every person and housing unit in the United States was asked basic demographic and housing questions (for example, race, age, and relationship to householder). A sample of these people and housing units was asked more detailed questions. The sampling unit for Census 2000 was the housing unit, including all occupants. There were four different housing unit sampling rates, 1-in-8, 1-in-6, 1-in-4, and 1-in-2, designed to yield an overall average of about 1-in-6.
