1970 Census: Housing, Volume I. Housing Characteristics for States, Cities, and Counties

December 1972

This report presents statistics from the 1970 Census of Housing on characteristics of housing units for the United States, regions, divisions, States, and certain other areas.

This volume consists of 54 bound books identified as parts. Each part contains two chapters, A and B. Chapter A presents general housing characteristics based on data collected on a 100-percent basis presented in maps and charts. Chapter B presents detailed characteristics based on a sample, also presented in maps and charts.

A Note on Language: Census statistics date back to 1790 and reflect the growth and change of the United States. Past census reports contain some terms that today’s readers may consider obsolete and inappropriate. As part of our goal to be open and transparent with the public, we are improving access to all Census Bureau original publications and statistics, which serve as a guide to the nation's history.
