Age - The age of individuals is age at their last birthday. Census Regions and Divisions - The Census Bureau delineates two sets of sub-national regions that are formed of states. This two-tiered system of regions consists of 9 census divisions nested within 4 census regions. The Northeast region includes the New England division: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont; and the Middle Atlantic division: New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. The Midwest region includes the East North Central division: Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin; and the West North Central division: Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota. The South region includes the South Atlantic division: Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia; the East South Central division: Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Tennessee; and the West South Central division: Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas. The West region includes the Mountain division: Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming; and the Pacific division: Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington. Household - A household includes all people who occupy a housing unit. A household consists of a single family, one person living alone, two or more families living together, or any other group of related or unrelated people who share living arrangements. Householder - One person in each household is designated as the householder. In most cases, this is the person, or one of the people, in whose name the home is owned, being bought, or rented. If there is no such person in the household, any adult household member 15 years old and over could be designated as the householder. Housing Unit (Census) - A housing unit is a house, an apartment, a mobile home, a group of rooms, or a single room that is occupied (or if vacant, intended for occupancy) as separate living quarters. Separate living quarters are those in which the occupants live and eat separately from any other people in the building and which have direct access from the outside of the building or through a common hall. The April 1, 1990 census count of housing units is the number of housing units in an area as reported in the 1990 Census of Housing, or as subsequently revised. Revisions to an area's 1990 census count of housing units may occur as the result of (1) post-1990 census corrections of political boundaries, geographic misallocations, or documented underenumerations or overenumerations, and (2) geographic boundary updates made subsequent to the 1990 census, which include annexations, new incorporations, mergers, etc. The closing date for these two forms of revisions applied to this set of estimates was December, 1996. Housing Unit (Estimate) - Estimates of the number of housing units are calculated by updating the number of housing units from the 1990 census with data on subsequent gains and losses to the housing inventory. The main data sources for estimating these gains and losses are construction and demolition permits. For areas where permit data are not available, alternative methods are used to estimate the construction and demolition of units. Additional information on the methodology used to produce these housing unit estimates is contained at our Internet site with a URL of . Persons per Household - The number of persons per household is obtained by dividing the number of persons in households by the number of households (or householders). Population (Census) - The April 1, 1990 census population is a count of the number of people residing in an area (resident population) as reported in the 1990 Census of Population, or as subsequently revised. Revisions to an area's 1990 census population count may occur as the result of (1) post-1990 census corrections of political boundaries, geographic misallocations, or documented underenumerations or overenumerations, and (2) geographic boundary updates made subsequent to the 1990 census, which include annexations, new incorporations, mergers, etc. The closing date for these two forms of revisions applied to this set of estimates was December, 1996. Population (Estimate) - The estimated population is the computed number of people living in an area (resident population) as of July 1. The estimated population is calculated from a demographic components of change model that incorporates information on natural change (births and deaths) and net migration (net domestic migration and net movement from abroad) that has occurred in the area since the reference date, such as April 1, 1990, the date of the 1990 census.
