The 1980 United States census, conducted by the Census Bureau, determined the resident population of the United States to be 226,545,805, an increase of 11.4% over the 203,184,772 persons enumerated during the 1970 census.[1] It was the first census in which a state—California—recorded a population of 20 million people, as well as the first in which all states recorded populations of over 400,000.
The 1980 census collected the following information from all respondents:[2]
Address
Name
Household relationship
Gender
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."[3]
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.
