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 this particular
RGIS Clearinghouse table is for Cibola County and all census blocks in the county. Table DC10_00896 shows median age for all
persons (both sexes), for males and for females. This file, along with file-specific descriptions (in Word and text formats)
are available in a single zip file.

Additional information on resource:
This table provides data for Cibola County and all census blocks in the county. The median divides the age distribution into
two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median value and one-half above the value. Median age is computed
on the basis of a single year-of-age distribution using a linear interpolation method. Field names and descriptions appear
as legends in the Excel and comma-delimited data files.
