There is one variable per table cell, plus additional variables with geographic information. Like Summary File 3, the collection contains 4,004 data files:77 for each state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
The collection is supplied in 54 ZIP archives. There is a separate ZIP file for each state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, and for the convenience of those who need all of the data, a separate ZIP archive with all 4,004 data files.
