This section presents a selection of data from the 2000 Census of Population and Housing that became available too late to be incorporated into the topical sections of the Abstract. Data are presented for the states and, for some series, the 25 largest metro areas and cities. Most of these data are taken from the Census Bureau’s Demographic Profiles presentingsample items from the decennial census. These data were asked of persons from a sample of housing units and persons in group quarters (e.g. college dormitories). The sample data include topics, such as school enrollment, educational attainment, marital status, grandparents as caregivers, veteran status, disability status of the civilian noninstitutionalized population, residence, nativity and place of birth,region of birth of the foreign born, language spoken at home, ancestry, employment status, commuting to work, occupation, industry, class of worker, income, and poverty status. The sample items also include sample housing topics, such as units in structure, year structure built, rooms, year householder moved into unit, vehicles available, house heating fuel, occupants per room, value, mortgage status and selected monthly owner costs, selected monthly owner costs as a percentage of household income, gross rent, and gross rent as a percentage of household income. The Demographic Profiles also contain data collected from the entire population, such as sex, age, race, and household type, for example.
