Resource Abstract:
- description: The once-a-decade decennial census was conducted in April 2010 by the U.S. Census Bureau. This count of every
resident in the United States was mandated by Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution and all households in the U.S. and
individuals living in group quarters were required by law to respond to the 2010 Census questionnaire. The data collected
by the decennial census determine the number of seats each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives and is also used
to distribute billions in federal funds to local communities. The questionnaire consisted of a limited number of questions
but allowed for the collection of information on the number of people in the household and their relationship to the householder,
an individual's age, sex, race and Hispanic ethnicity, the number of housing units and whether those units are owner-
or renter-occupied, or vacant. Results for sub-state geographic areas in New Mexico were released in a series of data products.
These data come from Summary File 1 (SF-1). The geographic coverage for SF-1 includes the state, counties, places (both incorporated
and unincorporated communities), tribal lands, school districts, census tracts, block groups and blocks, among others. The
data in these particular RGIS Clearinghouse tables are for Dona Ana County and all census blocks within the county. There
is one data table in this file. Table DC10_00661 shows the number of households by the following categories--total households;
total family households; husband-wife family households; total other family households; male householder, no wife present;
female householder, no husband present; total nonfamily households; nonfamily households with householder living along; and
finally, nonfamily households with householder not living alone. This file, along with file-specific descriptions (in Word
and text formats) are available in a single zip file.; abstract: The once-a-decade decennial census was conducted in April
