Summary File 4 (SF4)

43-Page Profile

The SF4 profile contains detailed tabulations of sample data collected from 15.8 percent of the total housing units in the United States, which were then weighted to represent the total population. Detailed tables for specific race/ethnic and ancestry groups include social and economic characteristics focusing on sex; households and families; marital status; grandparents as caregivers; language and ability to speak English; place of birth, citizenship status, and year of entry; migration; place of work; commuting; school enrollment and educational attainment; veteran status; disability; employment status; industry, occupation, and class of worker; income; poverty status; tenure, occupancy, and vacancy characteristics; units in structure; year structure built; year household moved into unit; gross/contract rent; gross rent as a percentage of household income; value of home; mortgage status and selected monthly owner costs. These tables are repeated for 335 detailed population groups subject to a population threshold of 100 or more persons and 50 or more unweighted sample cases in a specific geographic area.

Tract-to-Tract Comparability File

Comparability Files are intended to generate comparable estimates of selected demographic, socio-economic, and housing variables across decennial censuses. Due to changes in population and street patterns, some census tract boundaries are adjusted with each census. Comparability files are the only source of census data that normalize changes in tract boundaries from one census to the next. The State Data Center (SDC) has prepared two separate comparability files:

Summary File 1 (SF1)

50-Page Profile

The SF1 profile contains 100-percent “(short form) census data, the information compiled from questions asked of all people and about every housing unit.” This information includes age, sex, race, Hispanic or Latino origin, household relationship, and tenure.

Each profile can be generated for 250 different population groups: the total population, 132 race groups, 78 American Indian and Alaska Native tribe categories, and 39 Hispanic or Latino groups. The profile is available for any of the 250 population groups with a population threshold of 100 or more people in a specific geographic area.
