Data for the entire United States and Puerto Rico are included.

Race groups include: White non-Hispanic, White Hispanic, Black, American Indian, Aleuts and Eskimo, Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Hawaiian, total White, total non-White, and total persons. Variables include: population year, race, SEER registry, state, SMSA, county, tract, month of census, sex, population under 5 years of age, between 5 and 9 years of age and additional ages in increments of 5 years, population 85 years and older, and a total for all ages.
