Census data show richer, smarter Americans in 1970s and 1980 head count
The Census Bureau's snapshot from long forms of the 1980 head count shows higher median household income of 16,830 in 1979, rising real per capita income, more women in the workforce, and a growth in one parent families to 19 percent. Housing costs doubled from 1970 to 1980, while central air use rose and English language use at home spread beyond English speaking households. Asian families posted the highest incomes and education levels, Alaska led in median income, Arkansas the lowest, and differences by race highlighted the split in family income trends.
