**3. DATASET ABSTRACT**

3.1 Abstract of the Dataset

The Personal Income By Major Source and Earnings by Industry data
(1969-2000) has been derived from County Level data from the Bureau of
Economic Analysis. Personal income is the sum of wage and salary
disbursements, rental income with capital consumption adjustment,
personal dividend income, personal interest income, and transfer
payments, less personal contribution for social insurance. All data
files are referenced to NOAA's Coastal Assessment Framework (CAF). The
data are available for four distinct spatial aggregations: county,
state, NOAA's Coastal Watershed, and USGS Hydrologic Cataloging Unit.

3.2 Keywords for the Dataset

socioeconomic, economic, population, personal income, earnings,
industry, coastal economics

**4. OBJECTIVES AND INTRODUCTION**

4.1 Program Objective

Special Projects (SP) is one of seven Divisions within the Office of
Management and Budget of the National Ocean Service (NOS). This mission
of Special Projects is to promote the NOS coastal stewardship mission by
providing NOS and its partners with integrated approaches to planning
and management, a national assessment capability complementary to other
NOS programs, and an innovative program of information synthesis and
dissemination.

4.2 Dataset Objective

Many of the goals of those involved in environmental management and
policy include finding the balance in the coexistence of natural
ecosystems and human society, therefore a complete picture of the
geographic patterns of human activity and its relationship to the
coastal environment is needed. Regional Economic Information System
(REIS) data (1969-2000 Time Series Personal Income by Major Source and
Earnings by Industry) derived from County Level data from the Bureau of
Economic Analysis (BEA) are provided in a format that facilitates
comparisons across time and space.

4.4 Summary of Dataset Parameters

The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis provides data for a range of
geographic types from the United States down to a County. A detailed
description of BEA regional geography terminology can be obtained from
the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis web site
(<http://www.bea.doc.gov/bea/regional/definitions/>).

The common variables that are available for the data aggregated by
county, state, NOAA's Coastal Watershed, and USGS 8-digit Hydrologic
Cataloging Unit are shown below.

6.2 Data Manipulation: Description

The annual county level 1969-2000 REIS data were exported from the REIS
CD-ROM as a dBase file and then imported into the Statistical Analysis
System (SAS) software for further processing and analysis. With the
exception of average estimates, the income estimates are shown in
thousands of dollars. The population estimates prepared by the Census
Bureau are in number of persons.

The county level data record contained the following disclosure codes:

\(N\) = Estimates not available

\(L\) = Estimates less than \$50,000

\(D\) = Estimates not shown to avoid disclosure of confidential
information

The code (N) was treated as missing data. The code (L) was converted to
\$25,000 dollars. For cases of code (D), which occurred mostly for the
sub-categories of Mining and Wholesale Trade in the major category
"Private Earning", estimates were computed by using the following
algorithm.

> M = (pe -- soi) \* \[m_st / (m_st + w_st)\]\
> WT = (pe -- soi) \* \[w_st / (m_st + w_st)\]
>
> Where:
>
> M = Mining earnings estimate (thousand of dollars)\
> WT = Wholesale Trade earnings estimate (thousand of dollars)\
> pe = Private Earnings data (thousand of dollars)\
> soi = Sum of all sub-categories (other than codes D) earnings estimate
> (thousand of dollars)\
> m_st = Mining earnings estimate in the State (thousand of dollars)\
> w_st = Wholesale Trade earnings estimate in the State (thousand of
> dollars)

At the state level, all data are available.

The REIS county level file contains data for FIPS with special
definitions.   FIPS in this project refers to the 2-digit state FIPS
code plus the 3-digit county FIPS code. Data from these Special FIPS
were prorated to Census FIPS in order to prorate the county level data
to watersheds. A complete description of the equations and proration
coefficients used in these calculations is available in the REIS
detailed project file at:
<http://marineeconomics.noaa.gov/socioeconomics/metadata/REIS_detailed_decription.html>

**9. QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSURANCE**

9.1 Measurement Quality Objectives

These data are reported in a separate file.

9.2 Data Quality Assurance Procedures

County-level REIS data were computed using the file with prorated values
(REIS data in CAF unique/county or unco area). These computed county
data were compared with data in original REIS county file. The
comparison provided equal values confirming the accuracy of the
proration coefficients used.

9.3 Actual Measurement Quality

All of the data reported in these data files met the QA specifications.
