1990 Census Profiles

OFM has developed profiles from the 1990 federal census data. The profiles are available for:

in Washington. Separate profiles are available for general population and housing characteristics, social characteristics, labor force status and employment characteristics, income and poverty status, and housing characteristics. The general population and housing characteristics information is extracted from Summary Tape File (STF) 1 data (100% data); the remaining tables are derived from the STF3 file data, based upon a sample.

The 1990 Census Profiles are also available for places and ZIP Code areas, organized by county.

Similar information can be found through the U.S. Census Bureau's American Factfinder.
