- Abstract 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. The first wave of results
was released on March 15, 2011, through the Redistricting Data (PL94-171) Summary File. This batch of data covers the state,
counties, places (both incorporated and unincorporated communities), tribal lands, school districts, neighborhoods (census
tracts and block groups), individual census blocks, and other areas. The Redistricting products provide counts by race and
Hispanic ethnicity for the total population and the population 18 years and over, and housing unit counts by occupancy status.
The 2010 Census Redistricting Data Summary File can be used to redraw federal, state and local legislative districts under
Public Law 94-171. This is an important purpose of the file and, indeed, state officials use the Redistricting Data to realign
congressional and state legislative districts in their states, taking into account population shifts since the 2000 Census.
More detailed population and housing characteristics were released in the summer of 2011. The data in this particular RGIS
Clearinghouse table are for each block in Hidalgo County and the county as a whole. The data table provides total counts of
housing units, ocupied housing units and vacant housing units. This file, along with file-specific descriptions (in Word and
text formats) are available in a single zip file.
- Purpose To provide data for total, occupied and vacant housing units that may be useful in various planning and academic applications.
- Supplemental Information This particular table provides data for Hidalgo County as whole and all census blocks within Hidalgo County. The table is
labeled DC10_00186 and provides counts of total housing units, total occupied housing units and total vacant housing units.
