The final reports of the 1960 Population Census are arranged in three volumes and a joint Population-Housing series of census tract reports. Volume II (Series PC(2) reports) are Subject Reports. Each report concentrates on a particular subject. Detailed information and cross-relationships are generally provided on a national and regional level. In a few reports, data for States or standard metropolitan statistical areas are also shown.

This report, designated as PC(2)-3C, presents statistics on the fertility of women in the United States as measured by the number of their own children under 5 years old present in the household and also some data on own children 5 to 9 years old. The data are shown by demographic, social, and economic characteristics of the women and their families. Among the characteristics shown are: age, race, nativity, country of origin, education, marital status, age at first marriage, occupation, income in 1959, and housing characteristics.

Most of the statistics are based on a 5-percent sample of the population enumerated in the Eighteenth Decennial Census of Population, taken as of April 1, 1960, Some data on characteristics of housing are based on a 4-percent sample, as specified in the headnotes of the tables,
