Executive Summary

As part of the 2010 Census Ethnographic Study of Group Quarters (GQ) populations, this report presents ethnographic research findings on two types of GQ facilities: group homes for women who are victims of domestic violence (DV) and military barracks. The Census Bureau defines group quarters as places where people live or stay, in a group living arrangement that is owned or managed by an entity or organization providing housing and/or services to its residents (U.S. Census Bureau 2009). Group quarters can include, but are not limited to, federal detention centers, residential treatment centers, college/university student housing, group homes for adult women, and military barracks.
