Census Questions
The 1980 census collected the following information from all respondents:
- Address
- Name
- Household relationship
- Sex
- Race
- Age
- Marital status
- Whether of Spanish/Hispanic origin or descent
It was the first census not to ask for the name of the "head of household."
Approximately 16 percent of households received a "long form" of the 1980 census, which contained over 100 questions. Full documentation on the 1980 census, including census forms and a procedural history, is available from the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series.
