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.

Famous quotes containing the word questions:
“They [creative children] ask more questions than most children. They’re usually spontaneous and enthusiastic. Their ideas are unique and occasionally strike other kids as weird. They’re independent. Not that they don’t care at all what other kids think, but they’re able to do their thing despite the fact that their peers may think it’s strange. And they have lots and lots of ideas.”
—Silvia Rimm (20th century)
