An excellent source of such data would be the Bureau of the Census's
PUM's (Public Use Microdata) samples from the decennial census.
!960,1970,1980 and 1990 are available and a project at University of
Wisconsin, Madison, is generating them for 1940 and 1950.  (The project
is probably completed by now).  In addition, one was generated for, I
believe the 1890 census as well.  Furthermore, access can be made to the
original census schedules after some period, something like 60 years.
These schedules can sometimes be found on microfilm for particular states
in local archives.  Check with ICPSR for availability of the PUM's.
