These files contain 100 percent data with over 1100 variables consisting of population and housing items. The population information includes age, race, sex, marital status, hispanic origin, household type, and other demographic data. They are cross tabulated by age, race, sex, or hispanic origin. The housing information includes tenure, number of units, value, number of rooms per unit, and the use of the unit.

The data files are sub-divided by geographic levels: county, county subdivision, place-within-county, tract/bna (block numbering area), blockgroup, and block and organized by state.
