- 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 Torrance County and all census block groups within the county. There are two data tables
in this file. Table DC10_00219 shows counts of population by eighteen 5-year age groups for both sexes combined. Table DC10_00220
shows percent distribution of population by eighteen 5-year age groups for both sexes combined. These files, along with file-specific
descriptions (in Word and text formats) are available in a single zip file.
- Purpose To provide data for population by age and sex that may be useful in various planning and academic applications.
- Supplemental Information These particular tables provide data for Torrance County and all census block groups in the county. Table DC10_00219 shows
counts of population for both sexes combined and table DC10_00220 shows percent distribution of population for both sexes
combined. Field names and descriptions appear as legends in the Excel and comma-delimited data files.
