Texas Summary File 2 Data

Summary File 2 (SF 2) contains the 100-percent data (the information compiled from the questions asked of all people and about every housing unit). Population items include sex, age, race, Hispanic or Latino, household relationship, and group quarters. Housing items include occupancy status, vacancy status, and tenure (owner occupied or renter occupied). SF 2 includes population characteristics, such as sex by age, average household size, household type, relationship by household type (including living alone), unmarried-partner households, nonrelatives by household type, and own children under 18 years by family type and age. The file includes housing characteristics, such as tenure, tenure by age of householder, and tenure by household size for occupied housing units. Selected aggregates and medians also are provided. These 100-percent data are presented in 36 population tables (matrices) and 11 housing tables, identified with "PCT" and "HCT", respectively. Each table is iterated for 250 population groups: the total population, 132 race groups, 78 American Indian and Alaska Native tribe categories (reflecting 39 individual tribes), and 39 Hispanic or Latino groups. The presentation of SF 2 tables for any of the 250 population groups is subject to a population threshold of 100 or more people. That is, if there are fewer than 100 people in a specific population group in a specific geographic area, their population and housing characteristics data are not available for that geographic area in SF 2.
Raw Data to Download
	Summary File 2 contains 100 percent data presented in 36 population tables (matrices) and 11 housing tables. Each table is iterated for 250 population groups. Data are available down to the tract level, however, the presentation of SF2 tables for any of the 250 population groups is subject to a population threshold of 100 or more people (which means, if there are fewer than 100 people in a specific population group in a specific geographic area, their population and housing characteristics data are not available in SF2 for that area). These tables are presented in two formats to download: original data provided by the Census Bureau for Texas and comma-delimited (CSV) files for each of the Texas Counties and Summary Levels.
