Census of a Village (Posted on 2006-07-06) Difficulty: 4 of 5
This information below comes from the 2000 Census of Kaskaskia, Illinois.

• There were 9 people, 4 households, and 3 families residing in the village.
• There were 5 housing units. There were 4 households out of which none had children under the age of 18 living with them.
• The racial makeup of the village was 77.78% White, 11.11% Pacific Islander, 11.11% from other races, 22.22% Hispanic or Latino
• 50.0% were married couples living together.
• 25.0% had a female householder with no husband present.
• 25.0% were non-families.
• 25.0% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
• The average household size was 2.25 and the average family size was 2.67.
• In the village, the population was spread out with 22.2% under the age of 18, 11.1% from 18 to 24, 11.1% from 25 to 44, 22.2% from 45 to 64, 33.3% who were 65 years of age or older
See if you can make an identity of each of the nine people in the village. This includes ethnicity, age, single/married, etc...

I assume that there can be more than one solution.

Interesting imagination, Jygm.  Except for a difference in identities by racial type, I arrived much to the same probable conclusion. 

I had Sally Cheesecake as a Hispanic/Latino who had, because their father was White, identified her twin sons, Jackie and Bobby as both White and Hispanic/Latino;  the Fishsticks' and Greenbeans -- Don, Carmelita, Chip, Angus and Ethel, were designated White, and Old Man Taquito was the Pacific Islander (but with a name like Taquito it is no wonder why Carmelita thinks he's Puerto Rican).
