Public Health Dashboard Companion Document <br />May 2018 <br />5 | Page <br /> <br />Decennial Census <br />Source: Urban Institute <br />Prior to 2010, the decennial census included basic information on the 100 percent sample (Summary File <br />1, or SF1) as well as detailed information on a subset of the population receiving the long form, which <br />includes additional questions. Beginning in 2010, the decennial census only provides data on basic <br />demographic information (SF1), as the long form has been replaced by the American Community Survey <br />(ACS) discussed below. <br />Frequency: Every 10 years. <br />Geographies: Blocks, block groups, census tracts, counties, county subdivisions, zip code tabulation <br />areas. <br />Variables: Total population, age, sex, race and ethnicity, household type, tenure, vacancy. <br />Strengths: Data are available at small geographies (down to the block level). Data come from a census <br />rather than a sample survey, with results in smaller margins of error. <br />Drawbacks: Because the decennial census occurs only once every 10 years, its data quickly become <br />outdated. Data are limited to a small set of variables. <br />Additional Information: The Census Bureau may draw new geographic boundaries for a new decennial <br />census. Consequently, when using the decennial census from multiple years, Promise Neighborhoods <br />must first ascertain that geographic boundaries have not changed. Moreover, the decennial census can <br />change how a question is phrased, which might change the indicator over time. (For example, in 2010 <br />the Census Bureau changed how it asked respondents about race and ethnicity.) Because of this, data <br />might not be comparable from year to year or between the decennial census and the ACS (discussed <br />below). Users should check the Census Bureau web site (http://2010.census.gov/2010census/) for any <br />changes in phrasing and their effects on comparability. <br />Data Availability: Data for specific geographies can be found using FactFinder <br />(http://factfinder2.census.gov).
