Summary File 1 (SF 1)
100 percent or short-form data
Counts, characteristics, and cross-tabulations
State files released on a flow basis
Notes:
Summary File 1 (SF1) contains 100-percent population and housing characteristics and presents counts and basic cross-tabulations of information collected from all people and housing units.
In addition, SF 1 will contain counts, that is, totals, for 63 race groups (all combinations of White, Black or African American, American Indian and Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander, and Some Other Race), as well as the total number of Hispanics/Latinos down to the block level; counts of the number of persons in more detailed race and Hispanic categories (selected American Indian tribes, Chinese, Japanese, or Costa Rican, for example) are available at the census tract level. [The Census Bureau releases this information at the census tract level, rather than at the block level to protect the confidentiality of individual responses. ]
State files are released on a flow basis. National files provide tabulations for the entire United States.
SPEAKER NOTES: Summary File 1 presents 100-percent population and housing figures for the total population, for 63 race categories, and for many other race and Hispanic or Latino categories. The data are available for the U.S., regions, divisions, states, counties, county subdivisions, places, census tracts, block groups, blocks, metropolitan areas, American Indian and Alaska Native areas, tribal subdivisions, Hawaiian home lands, congressional districts, and ZIP Code Tabulation Areas.
Summary File 2 presents data similar to the information included in Summary File 1. These data are shown down to the census tract level for 250 race, Hispanic and American Indian and Alaska Native tribe categories that meet a specified minimum population size requirement. Urban and rural areas will not be available until 2002.
