Esri uses the decennial population census and other demographic data supplied by the United States Census Bureau to create the Census 2020 advanced demographics datasets for Puerto Rico and the United States and the Census 2010 dataset for the United States. Specific variables from Census 2000 for Puerto Rico and the United States are also available to use with data enrichment in various Esri products.
The United States Census Bureau updates census data every 10 years. The data supplied by the U.S. Census represents a complete count of the population. Census demographics are point estimates, representing April 1 of the census year.
Release date and vintages
These datasets were updated in June 2026; the vintages adhere to the decennial Census year:
- Census 2020
- Census 2010
- Census 2000 (specific variables only)

| Data collection | Data category | Description |
|---|---|---|
2000 Average Household Size | U.S. Census 2000 estimates of the average number of people living in households. Average household size is calculated by dividing the number of persons living in households by the total number of households. Includes all people who occupy a housing unit as their usual place of residence. | |
2000 Family Population | U.S. Census 2000 estimates of family population. A family includes a householder (primary income earner) and one or more people living in the same household who are related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption; excludes nonrelatives living in the household. | |
2000 Group Quarters Population | U.S. Census 2000 estimates of population living in group quarters. Group quarters are locations where people reside in a group living arrangement, owned or managed by a third-party entity that provides housing or services for the residents. Typically, this population is not related to each other. Includes college dorms, group homes, residential treatment facilities, skilled nursing facilities, correctional facilities, and military barracks. | |
2000 Household Population | U.S. Census 2000 estimates of population living in a household. Household population includes all U.S. residents living in a single housing unit, such as a single-family home, townhome, apartment, or mobile home; excludes residents of group quarters, such as correctional facilities, skilled nursing facilities, juvenile facilities, college dorms, and military barracks. | |
2000 Owner-Occupied Housing Units | U.S. Census 2000 estimates of owner-occupied housing units. Owner-occupied housing units are housing units where the primary occupant owns the property. | |
2000 Renter-Occupied Housing Units | U.S. Census 2000 estimates of renter-occupied housing units. Renter-occupied housing units are any occupied housing unit that is not owner-occupied, whether rented or occupied without payment of rent. | |
2000 Total Family Households | U.S. Census 2000 estimates of family households. Family households are related persons living in a housing unit. Occupants may be two individuals, a single family, multiple families, or any other group of related individuals sharing living arrangements. A family includes a householder (primary income earner) and one or more people living in the same household who are related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption; excludes nonrelatives living in the household. All people in a household who are related to the householder are considered to be part of the family household. For purposes of census tabulations, a household can contain only one family. | |
2000 Total Households | U.S. Census 2000 estimates of total households. Households are the persons living together in a housing unit, which may be one individual, a single family, multiple families, or any other group of related or unrelated individuals sharing living arrangements. | |
2000 Total Housing Units | U.S. Census 2000 estimates of housing units. Housing units are classified as occupied or vacant. Housing units are living quarters in which the occupants live separately from any other individuals. They are typically houses, apartments, mobile homes, groups of rooms, or single rooms that are occupied as separate living quarters. Nontraditional living quarters—such as boats, RVs, and tents—are considered housing units only when they are the occupant's usual, fixed place of residence. | |
2000 Total Population | U.S. Census 2000 estimates of population. Total population includes population living in households, on active duty in the Armed Forces, and living in group quarters—such as correctional facilities, skilled nursing facilities, juvenile facilities, college dorms, and military barracks. | |
2000 Vacant Housing Units | U.S. Census 2000 estimates of vacant housing units. A housing unit is classified as vacant if it is unoccupied at the time of the census count, unless the occupants are only temporarily absent—such as on vacation. Units occupied entirely by temporary occupants who have a usual residence in a different location are also classified as vacant. | |
