description: This data collection contains information compiled from
the questions asked of a sample of persons and housing units
enumerated in Census 2000. Population items include sex, age, race,
Hispanic or Latino origin, type of living quarters (household/group
quarters), urban/rural status, household relationship, marital status,
grandparents as caregivers, language and ability to speak English,
ancestry, place of birth, citizenship status and year of entry into
the United States, migration, place of work, journey to work
(commuting), school enrollment and educational attainment, veteran
status, disability, employment status, occupation and industry, class
of worker, income, and poverty status. Housing items include vacancy
status, tenure (owner/renter), number of rooms, number of bedrooms,
year moved into unit, household size, occupants per room, number of
units in structure, year structure was built, heating fuel, telephone
service, plumbing and kitchen facilities, vehicles available, value of
home, and monthly rent. With subject content identical to that
provided in Summary File 3, the information is presented in 813 tables
that are tabulated for every geographic unit represented in the
data. There is one variable per table cell, plus additional variables
with geographic information. The data cover more than a dozen
geographic levels of observation (known as "summary levels" in the
Census Bureau's nomenclature) based on the 108th Congressional
Districts, e.g., the 108th Congressional Districts, themselves, Census
tracts within the 108th Congressional Districts, and county
subdivisions within the 108th Congressional Districts. There are 77
data files for each state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto
Rico. The collection is supplied in 54 ZIP archives. There is a
separate ZIP file for each state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto
Rico, and for the convenience of those who need all of the data, a
separate ZIP archive with all 4,004 data files. The codebook and other
documentation are located in the last ZIP archive.
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.
