SUBJECTS PRESENTED BY TYPE OF AREA AND TABLE NUMBER-Con. [In tables presenting data for units with nonwhite household heads, units with white heads of Spanish surname, and units with Puerto Rican heads, the term "All units" means the same as "All occupied units"] 1 Tables 1 and 8 contain summary statistics for the State, by inside SMSA's (separately for "in central cities" and "not in central cities") and outside SMSA's and by urban, rural-nonfarm, and occupied rural-farm units; for each SMSA; and for each place of 10,000 inhabitants or more. Table 1 provides data for all units and table 8 for units with nonwhite household heads. Data are not shown in table 8 for areas with fewer than 400 units with nonwhite household heads. Data on financial characteristics exclude farm units and certain other units; see definition. All vacant units in rural territory included in rural-nonfarm inventory. Tables 9 to 11 omitted if the State has fewer than 25,000 units with nonwhite household heads. Each county, place of 50,000 inhabitants or more, urban balance, and rural part of the SMSA. Includes all counties in New England and all counties in States with no SMSA's. 6 Units with white household heads of Spanish surname in Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas; units with heads of Puerto Rican birth or parentage in other States. Data for such units are provided only in the individual State chapters; they are not provided in the United States Summary chapter. 7 Published in the United States Summary chapter for places which had a population of 50,000 or more in 1950, or in an interim census, and a population of 50,000 or more in 1960. Excludes places of 50,000 inhabitants or more in 1950 or in a census prior to 1960. Figure 3.-STANDARD METROPOLITAN STATISTICAL AREAS IN NORTHEASTERN UNITED STATES: 1960 Area definitions by Federal Committee on Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas under the direction of U. S. Bureau of the Budget States and Small Areas GENERAL Volume I of the 1960 Housing reports presents basic statistics on all subjects for which information was collected in the Census of Housing, taken as of April 1, 1960. The housing unit is the reporting unit for this volume. The volume is arranged by chapters and is bound in nine parts. Part 1 consists of the United States Summary chapter; Parts 2 to 8 contain the separate chapters for the States and the District of Columbia; and Part 9 comprises the chapters for Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands of the United States. The statistics for the three outlying areas in Part 9 differ somewhat in detail and scope from those published for the United States. The statistics relate to occupancy characteristics, structural characteristics, condition and plumbing facilities, equipment and fuels, and financial characteristics. For the most part, Volume I is restricted to simple distributions of these characteristics; cross-tabulations for both occupied and vacant units are provided in other 1960 Housing reports. Although statistics for some of the subjects are based on a complete count of housing units, most of the data are based on samples of 25, 20, or 5 percent of the units. The subjects represent a modification and an expansion of the 1950 and 1940 Censuses of Housing. The State chapters present statistics for the State, inside and outside standard metropolitan statistical areas, and the urban, rural-nonfarm, and rural-farm parts of the State; for each standard metropolitan statistical area, urbanized area, place, and county; and for the rural-nonfarm and rural-farm parts of each county. The number of characteristics and the amount of detail presented are generally greater for areas with a large population than for areas with a small population. For example, the full distribution by number of rooms and the median are shown by tenure and vacancy status for standard metropolitan statistical areas and their constituent parts, urbanized areas, and each place of 50,000 inhabitants or more. In contrast, only the average number of rooms, by tenure, is shown for places with a population of 1,000 to 2,500. The United States Summary chapter contains detailed data for the United States as a whole, the four regions, and the nine groups of States designated geographic divisions, as well as summaries of the statistics for the States and the District of Columbia and for standard metropolitan statistical areas and places of 100,000 inhabitants or more (with data on elevator in structure for places of 50,000 inhabitants or more). Detailed data are presented also for the United States by inside standard metropolitan statistical areas (separately for housing units in central cities and not in central cities) and outside standard metropolitan statistical areas, and by urban, rural-nonfarm, and ruralfarm residence; for each region and division, summary data are presented by these same area and residence classifications. addition, there is included in the United States Summary chapter an analysis of the 1960 Census findings and some historical data for purposes of comparison. In Some characteristics are presented for all housing units, whereas other items are restricted to specific segments of the housing inventory. For example, data on condition and plumbing facilities are presented for all housing units; number of persons and persons per room apply to occupied units; seasonal status applies only to vacant units; and value data are shown for owneroccupied units and vacant units available for sale. Other characteristics are available only for areas of specified size; for example, data on elevator in structure are available for places with a population of 50,000 or more, whereas data on source of water and method of sewage disposal are not available for such places. In some instances, a characteristic is not shown for each of the tenure and vacancy groups so that the separate distributions do not add to the distribution for all units. For example, data on number of bathrooms (in table 4 of the United States Summary chapter and table 3 of the State chapters) are presented for all units (occupied and vacant) and separately for owner-occupied and renter-occupied units; vacant units are included in the distribution of "all" units but are not shown as a separate group. Data on number of rooms in the same tables are presented for all units (occupied and vacant) and separately for owner-occupied, renter-occupied, vacant available-for-sale, and vacant availablefor-rent units; vacant units not on the available sale-or-rent market are included in the distribution of "all" units but are not shown as a separate group. (Furthermore, the distributions for vacant units are based on the 100-percent tabulation and the distributions for all, owner-occupied, and renter-occupied units are based on the 25-percent sample; see section on "Sample design.") Data on characteristics of housing units with nonwhite household heads are presented for specified areas in both the State chapters and in the United States Summary chapter. In addition, in the State chapters only, data on selected characteristics of housing units with white household heads having Spanish surnames are presented for specified areas in five Southwestern States (Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas); similar data are presented for housing units with household heads of Puerto Rican birth or parentage for specified areas in the other States. (See section on "Description of tables.") DESCRIPTION OF TABLES Detailed tables in State chapters.-The tables are arranged, for the most part, by type of area. Maximum detail is shown for the State, standard metropolitan statistical areas (SMSA's), and urbanized areas. Table 1 contains selected summary information for the State by inside SMSA's (separately for housing units in central cities and not in central cities) and outside SMSA's, and by urban, rural-nonfarm, and rural-farm residence; for each SMSA; and for each place of 10,000 inhabitants or more. Tables 2 to 7 present detailed characteristics for the State, inside and outside SMSA's, and the urban, rural-nonfarm, and rural-farm parts of the State (except that table 7 does not contain data for rural-farm units). Tables 8 to 11 are similar in content to tables |
