This part of Volume II presents cross-tabulations of housing and household characteristics for units in the United States and each of the nine geographic divisions, separately for units inside and outside standard metropolitan statistical areas. The statistics are based on information collected as of April 11, 1960, in the Census of Housing, supplemented with information from the Census of Population. Volume II covers all housing—urban and rural, farm and nonfarm—with separate statistics for owner-occupied, renter-occupied, and available vacant units.

The chapters of Volume II were published first as a series of reports, Series HC (2). A separate report was issued for the United States, each geographic division, and each standard metropolitan statistical area of 100,000 inhabitants or more in the United States and Puerto Rico. Statistics for urban places of 100,000 inhabitants or more are contained in the chapters for the metropolitan areas.
