Brief description of SF2:
Summary File 2 (SF2) contains 100 percent data compiled from questions asked of every person and about every housing unit. Population items include age, sex, race, ethnicity (Hispanic or Latino origin), household size and relationship and group quarters information. Housing items include vacancy status (whether the housing unit is vacant or occupied), and tenure (whether a housing unit is owner- or renter-occupied). The data are presented in 36 population tables and 11 housing tables. Each table is iterated for up to 249 racial and ethnic population groups provided they meet a population threshold of 100 people in that geographic area. If there are fewer than 100 people of a specified population group in a specific geographic area, no tables will be shown for that group in that area.
Population groups:
Total population
132 racial categories
39 Hispanic or Latino categories
78 American Indian or Alaska Native tribal groupings
Summary data will be provided for the following geographic areas:
