Kaine:

Use the PL94-171 redistricting data file for 2010…contains total housing units, occupied housing units and total population at the block level.  If you want to know group quarters population, you can join the PL94-171 file with the supplemental file released which contains all the group quarter information as well, allowing you to calculate average household size from the household population (total pop – group quarters pop)/ occupied housing units.

Subject: [CTPP] Housing Units Data from the Census

We are in the process of updating our 2000 Statewide Traffic Model here in Nebraska with the 2010 Census Data we received back from the Census Bureau. We delineated TAZ’s for the state’s counties in the spring of 2011. The old 2000 Census Data that was used in the Statewide Model for Nebraska back 10 years ago showed an attribute data field known as “Housing Units”.  Is this data no longer available through the Census? Our information that we received back contains a “workers” attribute but nothing about individual housing units.

Thanks
