Does a "female householder" variable exist without the "no spouse or partner present" ?

I’ve been looking everywhere and I can’t seem to find any ACS data that contains a “Female householder” variable without the “no spouse or partner present”.

Table B11012 of the ACS 2019 5-year contains:
”Female householder, no spouse or partner present"
but it doesn’t contain “Female householder” by itself.

By US Census definition:
“The householder refers to the person (or one of the people) in whose name the housing unit is owned or rented (maintained) or, if there is no such person, any adult member, excluding roomers, boarders, or paid employees. If the house is owned or rented jointly by a married couple, the householder may be either the husband or the wife. The person designated as the householder is the "reference person" to whom the relationship of all other household members, if any, is recorded.”

But that doesn’t allow for female householders who are married or have a partner, correct?

The paper that I’m reviewing states it uses ACS 5-yr estimates and lists one of the variables used as:
“Percent of female-headed households with children under 18”

I’m trying to recreate an ranking/score that the authors create in their paper, so I need this variable to reproduce their study, but in a different geographic region.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

  • Yes as John mentioned it’s possible in IPUMS if you use the person number (PERNUM) associated with householder,1,  filter for female (SEX=2) and use household weights on them. YNGCH would give you age of the youngest own child in the household so that’s <19
