Population items include marital status, disability, educational attainment, occupation, income, ancestry, veteran status, and many other characteristics. Particularly detailed is the occupation and industry data.  Housing items include tenure (whether the unit is owner- or renter-occupied), occupancy status, housing value, mortgage status, price asked, and more.

Each table is iterated for 336 population groups: the total population, 132 race groups, 78 American Indian and Alaska Native tribe categories (reflecting 39 individual tribes), 39 Hispanic or Latino groups, and 86 ancestry groups where the geographic areas have a population of more than 100 persons in that group and where they have 50 or more unweighted sample cases of the specific population (See Appendix H, "Characteristic Iterations," in the technical documentation for more details) [PDF 4.8Mb].
