Census 2010 Summary File 1
-- Detailed Demographics to the Census Block Level; 11+ Million Blocks

Analyzing extended demographics by census block and higher level geographic areas ... new data resources from Census 2010. The Census 2010 Summary File 1 (SF1) release was completed August 25, 2011.

The SF1 is the third major Census 2010 data resource following the Demographic Profile Summary File (DPSF) data released in May 2011 and following the P.L. 94-171 redistricting data released earlier in 2011.

The SF1 contains 100 percent data asked of all people and about every housing unit on topics such as sex, age, race, Hispanic origin, household relationship, household type, group quarters population, housing occupancy, and housing tenure. The SF1 is released as individual files for the U.S., each state, D.C., Puerto Rico and as a national summary file.

Use the ranking table at http://proximityone.com/zip-place.htm to view a city/place by ZIP code and selected associated demographics for each ZIP code portion in that city/place. Examine how split ZIP codes are split by specific place and non-place areas. The data are also available as a national scope dataset.

Census 2010 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs) and Places geographies are both comprised of sets of census blocks. Census block level data from the Census 2010 Summary File 1 (SF1) have been aggregated into ZIP code-Place parts to develop these data.

06.21.11. Tools for Analyzing Single Year of Age Demographics from Summary File 1

Single year of age data are are essential in many demographic analyses and the development of projections. The Census 2000, and now Census 2010, Summary File 1 (SF1) Table "PCT12" single year of age population data are widely used by many types of organizations for many types of applications. The PCT12 data uniquely provide access to "lowest common denominator" single year of age detail from under 1 year to 100 years of age for wide-ranging geographic areas enabling users to construct age cohort data not otherwise available. Table PCT12 is replicated for several race/ethnic combinations adding to analytical possibilities.

While the Census Bureau FactFinder (FF2) can be used to "call-up" and display/download the PCT12 data, it is difficult to use the data directly, or even open downloaded data with a tool such as Excel, and easily view the data. Effective usage challenges include:

• Age detail iterated by gender is cumbersome to aggregate.
• Comparison of aggregated gender data for one area to another is tedious.
• Labeling age detail in Excel-type applications is time consuming and challenging.
• Computing percentages requires additional steps.
• Aggregating the data across areas of interest (e.g., 5 census tracts) requires time.

Illustrative Profiles
Click on links in upper right scroll box to view full U.S. profile (with California and Texas) and profiles for other selected areas. These profiles, and ranking table below, were developed with ProximityOne Situation & Outlook software using the DPFS database.

Note that in comparison to the DPSF data:
• These profiles show a small subset of the scope of demographic subject matter contained in the SF1 data.
• These subject matter items may be presented at the census block
and any higher level geographic summary area for which Census 2010 data are tabulated using the SF1 data.

Develop similar comparative analysis profiles for any set of geographies in DPSF/SF1 dataset. Contact us for more information (mention SF1).
