The American Indian and Alaska Native Summary File (AIANSF) contains summary data for Native Americans derived from the 2010 Census questionnaire. Covered population and housing subjects include age, sex, tribal affiliation (enrolled or principal tribe), household relationship, household type, household size, family type, family size, group quarters and housing tenure. The data are organized in 71 tables (one variable per table cell) which are iterated for the total population, the total American Indian and Alaska Native population alone, the total American Indian and Alaska Native population alone or in combination with one or more other races, and 1,567 detailed tribes and tribal groupings. Sixty-one tables are presented down to the census tract level and 10 tables down to the county level. Altogether the tables are presented at 76 levels of observation, including the United States as a whole, regions, divisions, states, counties, county subdivisions, places, census tracts, metropolitan statistical areas/micropolitan statistical areas, congressional districts (111th Congress), state legislative districts, school districts, 5-digit ZIP code tabulation areas, American Indian Areas/Alaska Native Areas/Hawaiian Home Lands, tribal subdivisions and tribal census tracts. In the Census Bureau's nomenclature, the population group iterations are called "characteristic iterations" and levels of observation are called "summary levels."
The AIANSF tables are also presented for geographic components of some summary levels, e.g., all federally-recognized American Indian reservations collectively within each state or the nation as a whole; all metropolitan statistical areas collectively within each state or the nation as a whole, and the principal cities of metropolitan or micropolitan statistical areas. AIANSF contains 17,271 data files: a file with geographic identification variables (the geographic header record file) and 11 files with the population and housing variables for each characteristic iteration.
Together with the data files, the Census Bureau prepared a codebook, Microsoft Access database shell and additional documentation. ICPSR provides the data files in a ZIP archive and the database shell and additional documentation in a second ZIP archive
