In the 1980, 1990, and 2000 decennial censuses, the Census Bureau released several tabulations in addition to the full SF1 100 percent count data including the one-in-six SF3 sample. These additional samples, such as the SF3, asked supplementary questions regarding income and household attributes that were not asked in the 100 percent count. In the 2010 decennial census, the Census Bureau did not collect additional sample data, such as the SF3, and thus many important housing and income concepts are not available in the 2010 census.

To study these important concepts the Census Bureau conducts the American Community Survey. The Census Bureau quantifies the results as one-, three- and five year rolling averages. The one-year

sample only includes responses from the year the survey was implemented and is only applicable to communities of at least 60,000 people. The 3-year American Community Survey creates a rolling average over a three year period for communities of 20,000 or more. The five year American Community Survey creates a rolling average for a five year period and the results are available for much smaller areas. The data presented below are from the five year rolling average.

Table II.4.4, below, shows data on household type by tenure in the 2011 5-year ACS data. Household type is broken down by family households and non-family households.
