To create a similar SNAPSHOT for any community, county, or state in the United States:

step 1:  Getting the 2000 data 

The easiest place to obtain all the data needed to recreate this SNAPSHOT is at American FactFinder on the U.S. Census website.

Select: Census 2000 Summary File 3 (SF 3) – Sample Data.

Click: Enter a Table Number.

Type: "P10" and Click: GO

Select: The appropriate geopgrahies (i.e. Dodgeville, Wisconsin)

Click: Show Results

Table P10 HOUSEHOLD SIZE BY TYPE OF HOUSEHOLD BY PRESENCE OF CHILDREN UNDER 18 YEARS

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000

Similar data is available elsewhere on FactFinder, but all the 2000 data you will need is included in this table.

step 2: The 1990 data is also available at FactFinder.  

Go back to the main data page and,

Select: Census 1990 Summary File 3 (SF 3) – Sample Data

Click: Enter a Table Number.

Type: "P016" and Click: GO

Select: The appropriate geopgrahies (i.e. Dodgeville, Wisconsin)

Click: Show Results

NOTE: You need two tables to obtain the 1990 data:

1) Tables P016 PERSONS IN HOUSEHOLDS

2) Table 019 HOUSEHOLD TYPE AND PRESENCE AND AGE OF CHILDREN

You now have all the data you need to prepare this SNAPSHOT.
