New Census Data: Age, Race, Family Type, Housing Status
The U.S. Census Bureau has released a more detailed breakdown of its 2010 data, and "Patch" has the Affton and Shrewsbury results.

The U.S. Census Bureau released a closer look Thursday at its 2010 census findings for Missouri, including Affton and Shrewsbury.
The latest release is part of an ongoing series of information dumps from the U.S. Census Bureau as it compiles information from the 2010 census conducted last spring. The earlier release of Missouri data gave basic information about the population of the state and communities within Missouri, broken down by general categories of race and ethnicity. The release also had some basic information about housing capacity and occupancy rates in the state.
Among other things, Thursday's release, provides further breakdowns in several of those areas, including a more detailed accounting of age groups in the state and its local communities. It also breaks down the Latino/Hispanic community into several nations of origin and gives more details about the nature and makeup of the 2.4 million households in the state.

Table notes and legend:
- [1] Other Asian alone, or two or more Asian categories
- [2] Other Pacific Islander alone, or two or more Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander categories
- [3] One of the four most commonly reported multiple-race combinations nationwide in Census 2000
- [4] In combination with one or more of the other races listed; the six numbers may add to more than the total population, and the six percentages may add to more than 100 percent because individuals may report more than one race.
- [5] This category is composed of people whose origins are from the Dominican Republic, Spain, and Spanish-speaking Central or South American countries. It also includes general origin responses such as "Latino" or "Hispanic."
- [6] "Spouse" represents spouse of the householder. It does not reflect all spouses in a household. Responses of "same-sex spouse" were edited during processing to "unmarried partner."
- [7] "Family households" consist of a householder and one or more other people related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption. They do not include same-sex married couples even if the marriage was performed in a state issuing marriage certificates for same-sex couples. Same-sex couple households are included in the family households category if there is at least one additional person related to the householder by birth or adoption. Same-sex couple households with no relatives of the householder present are tabulated in nonfamily households. "Nonfamily households" consist of people living alone and households which do not have any members related to the householder.
- [8] The homeowner vacancy rate is the proportion of the homeowner inventory that is vacant "for sale." It is computed by dividing the total number of vacant units "for sale only" by the sum of owner-occupied units, vacant units that are "for sale only," and vacant units that have been sold but not yet occupied; and then multiplying by 100.
- [9] The rental vacancy rate is the proportion of the rental inventory that is vacant "for rent." It is computed by dividing the total number of vacant units "for rent" by the sum of the renter-occupied units, vacant units that are "for rent," and vacant units that have been rented but not yet occupied; and then multiplying by 100.
