Odd-numbered tables list places and county subdivisions by county while even-numbere d tables file them alphabetically within the state. A table-finding guide appears in the Introduction, p.II-1.

The U.S. Summary volume provides similar data for the nation, regions, states, metropolitan areas, and urbanized areas. This series provides only broad age group data for t he total population. For population by narrower age groups, race and sex, see General Population Characteristics.

Census Tracts are areas of about 4,000 inhabitants in MSAs and simulate neighborhoods. Block Numbering Areas are basically Census Tract equivalents in the non-metropolitan portion of the country. This is the first Census to "tract" the entire country.

One report issued for each MSA and one for the balance of each state. Reports of PMSA components of a CMSA are numbered with the CMSA (i.e. the Ann Arbor PMSA report is alphabeted next to the Detroit--Ann Arbor CMSA report as pt. 134A.) Tract data is also available under the State/County option of the STF3A Census lookup on the Internet (http://www.census.gov/cdrom/lookup).

Among the social, economic and housing data included in this report are age by sex, household relationships, school enrollment, educational attainment, journe y to work, labor force and disability status, ancestry and income, as well as housing mortgage costs, fuels and equipment. Statistics are tabulated by race for tracts with 400 or more persons of that race. A table-finding guide by race appears at the front of each volume. Tables provide MSA, county, city, tract and BNA totals.

The Documents Center has corresponding maps for Michigan in paper. Tract maps for other states are available in the Documents Center on American Statistics Inde x microfiche (ASI 1993 2551-10).
