March 2020. .. population living housing facilities other than households .. based on Census Bureau estimates, the U.S. national group quarters population changed from 8 million in 2010 to 8.09 million in 2018. While size of the group quarters population is small relative to the total population, this is an important component of the total population. Since the group quarters population is distributed very unevenly across the U.S., the group quarters population data become even more important at the county level where relatively large numbers exist. • See the 2018 group quarters population estimates by county interactive table. • Use the interactive table below to view, compare, rank group quarters population by county/state by type. Group Quarters Population; College Student Housing The following graphic shows by college student housing group quarters population (CollGQ) by county. This view shows counties where the CollGQ population in the sum of age ranges 15-19 and 20-24 is 3,000 or more. Using the GIS project only one of these age ranges, or more and/or by gender could be viewed. Click graphic for larger, more detailed view.

Understanding the size, distribution and characteristics of the group quarters population is important for many reasons. In developing demographic estimates and projections, data on the population living in group quarters requires special attention. For example, a standard age-cohort methodology needs to be modified to handle college/university populations. The population in this relevant age groups will not "age" in a "normal" manner. This section provides access to tools to analyze the impact of group quarters populations on states and counties. This section is focused on data from Census 2010. These are the most recent data available that provide characteristics of the group quarters population at the county level (type of group quarters population crossed by 5-year age group). National scope county level post Census 2010 data on the group quarters population type of group quarters population crossed by 5-year age groups are not expected from Census Bureau programs until Census 2020. See additional information. About Group Quarters Population .. goto top Group quarters are places where people live or stay in a group living arrangement, which are owned or managed by an entity or organization providing housing and/or services for the residents. This is not a typical household-type living arrangement. These services may include custodial or medical care as well as other types of assistance, and residency is commonly restricted to those receiving these services. People living in group quarters are usually not related to each other. See more about the group quarters population below in this section. Use the interactive table in this section to view, rank, compare characteristics of the group quarters population the U.S, states and counties.
