- 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. 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 these particular
RGIS Clearinghouse tables are for New Mexico and all census tracts in the state. There are two data tables in this file. Table
DC10_00586 shows the number of households by the following categories--total households; total family households; husband-wife
family households; total other family households; male householder, no wife present; female householder, no husband present;
total nonfamily households; nonfamily households with householder living along; and finally, nonfamily households with householder
not living alone. Table DC10_00587 shows percent distribution of households for each of these same categories. These files,
along with file-specific descriptions (in Word and text formats) are available in a single zip file.
- Purpose To provide data for counts of households by type that may be useful in various planning and academic applications.
- Supplemental Information These particular tables provide data for New Mexico and all census tracts in the state. Table DC10_00586 shows counts of households
by type and table DC10_00587 shows percent distribution of households by type. Field names and descriptions appear as legends
in the Excel and comma-delimited data files.

total other family households; male householder, no wife present; female householder, no husband present; total nonfamily
households; nonfamily households with householder living along; and finally, nonfamily households with householder not living
alone. There is one table showing numerical counts and one table showing percent distribution of household type. There are
separate rows of data for New Mexico as a whole and each of the census tracts in the state. In addition, data columns in each
file show relevant geocodes and area names. There is a separate Excel and CSV file for the numerical counts and the calculated
proportions. Legends in each data file define the columns.
