These data files contain population and housing data extracted from the 1990 STF1B database on CDROM. The population items include total population, age, race, and hispanic origin. The housing items include number of housing units, tenure, room density, mean contract rent, mean value, and mean number of rooms. Some data items are fairly limited in descriptive information. In addition, the records contain relevant information from geographic header records which includes land area, water area, centroids, MSA codes, place codes, and special area codes. These data files are identified as population census blocks (xblk).

• For zero population and housing unit counts, the data files are identified as non-populated census blocks (zblk). Geographic header information is included with the "zblk" files.
• Both the populated and non-populated census block records contain a POLID field which corresponds to the POLID in the boundary files based on TIGER92. These data are organized by state using the county FIPS code.

These files can be found in the state directories:
