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.

“Motherhood is the second oldest profession in the world. It never questions age, height, religious preference, health, political affiliation, citizenship, morality, ethnic background, marital status, economic level, convenience, or previous experience.”
