I think the big dividing lines today depend on education and family cultural background, but I am not sure how a decennial census might track that. The Census Bureau also continually sends out the American Community Survey to a subset of the population. It asks much more detailed questions, so the data may already exist.

Right. My point was that the job of decennial is basically to get a 100% count of bodies and residences, and that is hard enough without going into sociological detail.
