    INTRODUCTION

    Data from the 2010 Census for the United States and Puerto Rico are presented in two printed report series and a single report for American Indians and Alaska Natives by tribe:

    1. CPH-1, Summary Population and Housing Characteristics

    2. CPH-2, Population and Housing Unit Counts

    3. CPH-3, Characteristics of American Indians and Alaska Natives by Tribe

    The data from the 2010 Census were derived from a limited number of basic questions asked of the entire population and about every housing unit. Appendix D (see Selected Appendixes report at ) presents a facsimile of the questionnaire pages used to collect the data included in this report. Note that the “long form” data included in previous censuses are not included in the 2010 Census.

    The CPH-1, Summary Population and Housing Characteristics, report series provides data based on age, Hispanic or Latino origin, household relationship, race, sex, tenure (owner- or renter-occupied), and vacancy characteristics. Land area measurements and population density also are provided. This series is similar to the Census 2000 PHC-1 series.

    The CPH-2, Population and Housing Unit Counts, report series provides 2010 Census and historical com-parisons of the population and housing unit counts. It also provides area measurements and density. The user notes section documents geographic changes over the past decade. This series is similar to the Census 2000 PHC-3 series.

    In each series, there is one report for each state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, plus a United States summary report. Many tables in the United States summary reports include data for Puerto Rico.

    The CPH-3, Characteristics of American Indians and Alaska Natives by Tribe, report provides population and housing information for selected American Indian and Alaska Native tribes. This report is similar to the Census 2000 PHC-5 report. This is a single report covering the entire United States.

    HOW TO FIND GEOGRAPHIC AREAS AND SUBJECT MATTER DATA

    This report includes a table finding guide to assist the user in locating those statistical tables that contain the desired data. The table finding guide lists alphabetically, by geographic area, the subjects shown in this report. To determine which tables in this report show data for a particular topic, find the subject in the left-hand column of the table finding guide and then look across the columns using the headings at the top for the desired type of geographic area. Figure I-1 is an example of a table finding guide.

    The table finding guide does not include cross-classification of subject-matter items. Additional informa-tion to locate data within specific reports is provided in the headnote at the top of the table finding guide and in the footnotes at the bottom of the guide.

    HOW TO USE THE STATISTICAL TABLES

    Parts of a Statistical Table

    The census data included in printed reports are arranged in tables. Each table includes four major parts: (1) heading, (2) boxhead, (3) stub, and (4) data field. A typical census report table is illustrated in Figure I-2.

    The heading consists of the table number, title, and headnote. The table number indicates the position of the table within the report, while the title is a brief statement indicating the subjects and time reference of the data presented in the table. The headnote is enclosed in brackets and is located under the title. It contains statements that qualify, explain, or provide information pertaining to the entire table.

    Figure I-1.

    SUBJECTS BY TYPE OF GEOGRAPHIC AREA AND TABLE NUMBER

    The types of geographic areas covered in this report are shown on the side, and subjects are shown at the top. See CPH-2-A, Population and Housing Unit Counts, Selected Appendixes (), for a description of area classifications (Appendix A) and for definitions and explanations of subject characteristics (Appendix B).

    The boxhead is under the heading. This portion of the table, which contains the individual column heads or captions, describes the data in each vertical column. In the boxhead of many tables, a spanner appears across and above two or more column heads or across two or more lower spanners. The purpose of a spanner is to classify or qualify items below it or separate the table into identifiable blocks in terms of major aspects of the data.

    The stub is located at the left edge of the table. It includes a listing of line or row captions or descriptions. At the top of the stub is the stubhead. The stubhead is considered to be an extension of the table title and usually shows generic geographic area designations and restrictions.

  • I-4 How to Use This Census ReportU.S. Census Bureau, 2010 Census

    In the stub, several features are used to help the user better understand the contents of the table. Usually, a block of data lines is preceded by a sidehead. The sidehead, similar to a spanner, describes and classifies the stub entries following it. The use of indentation in a stub indicates the relationship of one data line to another. Indented data lines represent subcategories that, in most instances, sum to a total. Occasionally in tables, it is desirable to show one or more single-line subcategories that do not sum to the total.

    The data field is that part of the statistical table that contains the data. It extends from the bottom of the boxhead to the bottom of the table and from the right of the stub to the right edge of the page.

    Both geographic and subject-matter terms appear in tables. It is important to read the definitions of the terms used in the tables because census terms often are defined in special ways that reflect the manner in which the questions were asked and the data were tabulated. Definitions of geographic terms are provided in Appendix A of CPH-2-A, Population and Housing Unit Counts, Selected Appendixes (). Census tables often include derived measures such as medians, means, per-centages, and ratios. These and other subject-matter terms are defined in Appendix B of the same report.

    Symbols and Geographic Abbreviations

    The following symbols are used in the tables and explanations of subjects covered in 2010 Census reports:

    • A dash ‘‘–’’ represents zero or a derived measure that rounds to less than 0.1.

    • (X) means not applicable. In the 1990 and earlier decennial census reports, three dots ‘‘. . . ’’ meant not applicable.

    • (NA) means not available.

    • The superscript prefix ‘‘r’’ indicates that a Census 2000 count has been revised since the publication of the Census 2000 reports as a result of certified Count Question Resolution (CQR) changes (see also ). This symbol appears only in the 2010 Census CPH-2, Population and Housing Unit Counts, report series.

    • A minus sign ‘‘–’’ preceding a figure denotes decrease. The minus sign appears only in the 2010 Census CPH-2, Population and Housing Unit Counts, report series.

    The following are examples of geographic abbreviations and terms that may be used in the tables in this report:

    • A ‘‘(part)’’ next to the name of a geographic area in a hierarchical presentation indicates that the geo-graphic entity is located only partially in the superior geographic entity. For example, a ‘‘(part)’’ next to a place name in a county subdivision-place hierarchy indicates that the place is located in more than one county subdivision. (Places also may be ‘‘split’’ by county, congressional district, urban/rural, metropoli-tan area, voting district, and other geographic boundaries, depending on the presentation.) Other geo-graphic entities also can be ‘‘split’’ by a higher-level entity. The exception is a tabulation block, which is unique within all geographic entities in census products.

    • ANVSA is Alaska Native village statistical area.

    • ANRC is Alaska Native Regional Corporation.

    • CCD is census county division.

    • CDP is census designated place.

    • CSA is combined statistical area.

    • NECTA is New England city and town area.

    • Metro Area is metropolitan statistical area.

    GENERAL NOTES

    User Note 1

    The user should be aware that there are limitations to many of these data. Please refer to the text provided with this report for further explanation of the limitations of the data. The population and other data shown for the 2010 Census in this report are as of April 1, 2010; the boundaries used for all geographic entities are as of January 1, 2010. All boundaries are intended for Census Bureau statistical data collection and pre-sentation only; their depiction and designation for statistical purposes do not constitute a determination of jurisdictional authority or entitlement. Corrections to the 2010 Census data as a result of certified Count Question Resolution (CQR) changes are available from the Census Bureau’s Internet site at .

    User Note 2

    Data comparability for county subdivisions is shown only when the county subdivision contains sub-stantially the same territory as reported for Census 2000 (generally defined as at least 60 percent of the previous territory). There is no comparability provided for county subdivisions that have been extensively revised. Revised entities are noted by and within county. Changes to a geographic entity can be the result of legal change actions, statistical redefinition, correction of previous boundary or drafting errors, or new erroneous information.

    Incorporated place and census designated place (CDP) comparability is provided for all places that retained their name or general area without regard to the amount of territorial change between censuses. Place comparability is not shown if the entity is new for the 2010 Census or is the result of a merger that cre-ated an entirely new entity, or if a 2010 Census geographic area shares no area with a Census 2000 area of the same name. American Indian area (including tribal subdivisions), Alaska Native area, and Hawaiian home land comparability follows the same rules as for place comparability.

    User Note 3

    When applicable, tables show the revised Census 2000 population and/or housing unit counts that resulted from the Count Question Resolution (CQR) program. These revised counts are accompanied by a prefix “r” symbol in the data tables.

    Derived values (e.g., percent distribution, density, or change) that are calculated from Census 2000 popu-lation or housing unit counts only account for the aforementioned CQR revisions in certain cases.

    • Calculations include the corrected Census 2000 counts when a table:

    º Shows population or housing unit change (or percent change) from 2000 to 2010.

    º Shows population or housing unit change (or percent change) from 1990 to 2000, and also shows the 2000 population or housing unit count that it is derived from.

    º Shows population or housing unit density or percent distribution in 2000, and also shows the 2000 population or housing unit count that it is derived from.

  • III-2 User NotesU.S. Census Bureau, 2010 Census

    • Calculations do not include the corrected Census 2000 counts when a table:

    º Shows population or housing unit change (or percent change) from 1990 to 2000, but does not show the 2000 population or housing unit count that it is derived from.

    º Shows population or housing unit density or percent distribution in 2000, but does not show the 2000 population or housing unit count that it is derived from.

    • When a table shows component parts of a revised 2000 population or housing unit count (e.g., clas-sified by urban/rural or by size of place), the component parts may not sum to the total population or housing unit count, because the component parts were not revised during the 2000 CQR program. Therefore, any derived values (e.g., percent distribution or number of places by population size) for the component parts cannot account for the revised Census 2000 counts either.

    User Note 4

    Tables 10 and 11 of this report, which display a ranking of places of 2,500 or more population, also include consolidated cities; the whole consolidated city is shown in addition to its component incorporated places (that meet the minimum population of 2,500). The balance of a consolidated city that is outside of an incorporated place is only displayed on a separate data row in Tables 8 and 9 of this report.

    HISTORICAL NOTES

    The United States acquired the area of Montana from France as part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 and by a treaty with Great Britain in 1846. Montana Territory was organized from the northeastern part of Idaho Territory on May 26, 1864, with generally the same boundary as the present state. Montana was admitted to the Union on November 8, 1889, as the 41st state.

    Census data for Montana are available beginning with the 1870 census. The 1860 census population in present-day Montana was included in unorganized Dakota, although legally the area was within Nebraska and Washington territories. The portion of Yellowstone National Park in Montana was probably enumerated as part of Wyoming from 1880 to 1910.

    GEOGRAPHIC NOTES

    Montana is divided into 56 counties. Two counties, Deer Lodge and Silver Bow, are governmentally and geographically consolidated with an incorporated place, Anaconda-Deer Lodge County and Butte-Silver Bow, respectively. The 194 county subdivisions in the state are census county divisions (CCDs), which are statistical subdivisions delineated for presentation of decennial census data.

    There is one consolidated city, 129 incorporated places, and 235 CDPs in Montana. Incorporated places in the state are legally described as cities and towns, except for Anaconda-Deer Lodge County and Butte-Silver Bow, which have no legal description. Butte-Silver Bow is a consolidated city because it includes the separately incorporated place of Walkerville city. The portion of Butte-Silver Bow outside of Walkerville city is shown in the data tables as Butte-Silver Bow (balance). The Census Bureau treats all incorporated places and CDPs as dependent within CCDs.

    GEOGRAPHIC CHANGE NOTES

    The Geographic Change Notes listed below document high-level geographic entities—American Indian areas, Alaska Native areas, and Hawaiian home lands; counties and their equivalents; county subdivisions; and places—that are different from the information reported in Census 2000. The notes identify geographic entities whose name, legal description, and/or boundary have changed, entities that no longer exist, newly established entities (both legal and statistical), and changes in geographic relationships, such as places that exist in one county and have expanded into or withdrawn from another county (the notes do not identify the other county(ies) in which the entity exists; this can be determined from Table 9 of this publication), places that have been removed from comparable 2000 county subdivisions, and places that have become

  • User Notes III-3U.S. Census Bureau, 2010 Census

    independent of or dependent within one or more county subdivisions. The changes are reported by and within county; counties without changes are not shown in the listing. Changes to American Indian areas, Alaska Native areas, and Hawaiian home lands appear after the list of counties; areas with no changes are not shown. A few of the reported changes in name, legal status, or legal relationship may be incorrect; if so, the correct version is shown in any Correction Notes section above. Some changes are the result of legal actions that took place prior to Census 2000 but were not reported in that census.

    For the 2010 Census, the notes reflect any boundary change that affects a geographic entity, regardless of whether it is the result of legal action, redefinition of a statistical entity, correction of a previous draft-ing error, or new erroneous information. Between Census 2000 and the 2010 Census, the Census Bureau invested in improving the coordinate accuracy of its geographic database. As a result, the geographic positions of boundaries may be different between the two censuses even though little or no change actu-ally occurred to the boundaries. In compiling the Geographic Change Notes, the Census Bureau inspected the many corrections to determine if a change actually affected significant land area or population. For example, the county-level text ‘‘all MCDs [minor civil divisions] revised’’ may reflect a legal redistricting of all county subdivisions in the county, a major or minor relocation of county subdivision boundaries due to more accurate mapping or more accurate boundary information, or a combination of these that, in one way or another, affect every county subdivision in a county. Boundary corrections that resulted in incorpo-rated places gaining or losing territory are shown as annexations or detachments even if no legal action occurred between 2000 and 2010. Most places shown with a detachment resulted from such corrections. In states whose legal entities rarely undergo a legal boundary change, such as the New England states, most of the entities reported to have annexed, detached, exchanged, gained, or lost territory did so as the result of mapping changes, not legal actions. The extent and location of the boundary changes affecting any particular entity can be determined by comparing the TIGER/Line® Shapefiles, Cartographic Boundary Files, or a comparable set of maps for the 2000 and 2010 censuses.
