Census 2000 Summary Sample Data Profiles

The Census Bureau released computer files containing detailed tabulations of the questions asked of a sampling of census respondents (the sample or long-form questions). This includes information about income, poverty, education, employment, travel to work, ancestry, language spoken at home, housing conditions, etc. for all geographic areas in the state down to the block group.

Please Note:  All data are based on a sample of the population and housing units throughout the State.  Thus the results are subject to sampling errors and may differ from the 100 Percent counts for these areas.

Revised Population & Housing Unit Counts

The Census Bureau has announced that they will not revise the data included in  American FactFinder or any report from the 2000 census.  Users of this system need to look at the documents listed above for revised data.
 
A series of profiles have been produced from these files for the standard geographic units of the state, counties, cities, towns, villages, Census Designated Places (CDPs) – which are unincorporated village-like areas -- and American Indian Reservations. 
Profiles for metropolitan areas (as they were defined in January 2000), Congressional Districts of the 106th Congress, and approximations of ZIP codes (known as ZIP Code Tabulation Areas or ZCTAs) will be produced in the near future.

We do not have the information needed to produce these profiles for school districts. The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) is expected to release those sometime during 2003.

 

Primary Profiles provide a general overview of each geographic area’s population showing the most commonly requested general distributions and limited cross-tabulations of all general population topics covered in this dataset.

 

Secondary Profiles contain frequently, but less commonly, requested information about the residents of each area.

 

Housing Profiles provide a general overview of each geographic area’s housing showing the most commonly requested information about the general housing topics covered in Census 2000.

 

Income Profiles contain household income distributions by race and age of the householder, information about sources of income, earnings by age and sex, and related data.

 

Employment Profiles contain the number of people working, looking for work, unemployment rate, the industries and occupations of people at work broken down by sex.

Zip Code Tabulation Areas

ZCTAs -- provide data for approximations of ZIP codes.  These files are grouped by the first three digits of the ZCTA and contain all five-digit ZCTAs within that three-digit area. More information about ZCTAs can be found on the Census Bureau’s website.
