title: Archival Version

description: This data collection contains tables from the 1980 Census
of Population and Housing, which were tabulated for Standard
Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSAs), tracted portions of states
outside SMSAs, and the following SMSA components: counties, places
with 10,000 or more inhabitants, and census tracts. The tables
primarily contain sample data inflated to represent the total
population, plus 100-percent counts and unweighted sample counts of
persons and housing units. Tabulated population items include
household relationship, sex, race, age, marital status, Spanish
origin, education, nativity, citizenship, language spoken at home,
ancestry, children, place of residence in 1975, veteran status, work
disability status, labor force status, travel time to work, means of
transportation to work, industry, occupation, class of worker, income,
and poverty status. Tables of housing variables cover number of units
at address, presence of complete plumbing facilities, number of rooms,
tenure (whether owned or rented), vacancy status, housing unit value,
contract rent, units in structure, stories in structure and presence
of a passenger elevator, year structure was built, year householder
moved into unit, acreage, source of water, sewage disposal, heating
equipment, house heating fuel, water heating fuel, cooking fuel,
kitchen facilities, number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, telephone
in housing unit, air conditioning, number of automobiles, vans, and
light trucks, and selected monthly owner costs (real estate taxes,
property insurance, utilities, and mortgage payments). Two series of
population and housing tables, A and B, are shown for each geographic
unit. The A tables are tabulated once for the total population, while
the B tables are repeated for the total population and up to six
different race and Spanish origin groups: (1) white, (2) Black, (3)
American Indian, Eskimo and Aleut, (4) Asian and Pacific Islander, (5)
other race, and (6) Spanish origin. The data for each state are
contained in a separate file. Altogether, 48 states and the District
of Columbia are represented in the collection.
