Specifically, the 2010 Census includes statistics on the most basic characteristics of the population's demography (age, sex, marital status, Hispanic origin, race, family composition) and on a characteristic of housing (rented, owned with or without a mortgage).

It provides very detailed data broken down by geographical levels, including neighborhoods and census tracks. Population and Housing Census data are available in the form of tables, profiles, narratives and databases.
