Map: United States Census Bureau (2023-03-09). 2010 U.S. Census of Population and Housing: Summary File 1: PCO3. Group Quarters Population in Correctional Facilities for Adults by Sex by Age | Total Population, 2010. Sage Data. Sage Publishing Ltd. (Dataset). Dataset-ID: 001-045-243
Abstract
Presents a count of the group quarters population in the United States living in correctional facilities for adults by sex by age. Group quarters are places where people live or stay in a group living arrangement, which are owned or managed by an entity or organization providing housing and/or services for the residents. These services may include custodial or medical care as well as other types of assistance, and residency is commonly restricted to those receiving these services. People living in group quarters are usually not related to each other. Group quarters include such places as college residence halls, residential treatment centers, skilled-nursing facilities, group homes, military barracks, correctional facilities, and workers dormitories. Two types of group quarters are distinguished: Institutional, ie, facilities that house those who are primarily ineligible, unable, or unlikely to participate in the labor force while residents; and Noninstitutional, ie, facilities that house those who are primarily eligible, able, or likely to participate in the labor force while residents. Detailed information on the coding associated with Institutional and Noninstitutional Group Quarters types used by the Census Bureau is provided in Appendix F of the Summary File 1 Technical Documentation.
