Definitions

A married couple, as defined for census purposes, is a husband and wife enumerated as members of the same household. The married couple may or may not have children living with them. The expression 'husband-wife' or 'married-couple' before the term 'household,' 'family,' or 'subfamily' indicates that the household, family, or subfamily is maintained by a husband and wife. The number of married couples equals the count of married-couple families plus related and unrelated married-couple subfamilies.

The term non-Hispanic refers to persons who trace their origins or descent to a place other than Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Spanish speaking Central and South America countries, and other Spanish cultures. People who identify their ethnicity as non-Hispanic may be of any race.

This race category refers to individuals who report being only white, when asked to select all that apply from the race categories of white, black or African American, American Indian and Alaska native, Asian, or Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander.
