Introduction

FEDERAL DATALINK

Federal Datalink is a guide to Federal county-level data and was prepared by the U.S.

Census Bureau, Population Division with funding support from the Minority Business

Development Agency (MBDA), Department of Commerce. The purpose of this guide is to

collect and document available county-level statistical data from the U.S. Census Bureau and

other Federal Agencies for years since 1980. Inclusion in this guide was determined, in part, by

consideration of each dataset’s relevance to the interests and needs of the MBDA. In

particular, this guide includes demographic data and other data that have been cross-classified

by race and Hispanic origin or include race detail. Historical data products pertaining to specific

datasets included in this guide may be available prior to 1980, but are not covered by the scope

of this guide. Also, the primary focus of the Federal Datalink is to provide information on data

produced by Federal agencies that is available at the county-level and is available in electronic

form (e.g., CD-ROM, tape, and/or downloadable files). Hence, county-level datasets only

available in printed form are not included, with the exception of selected 1980’s datasets for

which later versions are available in electronic format. Users of this guide should be aware that

all of the links and information contained in this document are current as of April 1999 and are

subject to change.

USES FOR FEDERAL DATALINK

Federal Datalink is intended as a tool for individuals and organizations who need local

area and regional data. County-level data offer users a smaller, more focused level of analysis.

County-level data, therefore, are particularly useful for individuals and groups such as small

business owners and local governments. For example, county-level demographic data are

particularly useful for determining markets, which is an essential factor in directing marketing

campaigns. County-level data can also be used to learn more about the demographic

characteristics of one’s community.

GEOGRAPHIC COVERAGE

While the focus of this guide is on county-level data, some state-level data are included.

State-level data are included when there is race or Hispanic origin detail present in the dataset.

Surveys or datasets with strictly National-level data are not included.

ORGANIZATION

Federal Datalink is organized into two main sections. Part I consists of individual sheets

for each dataset, which provide basic information about each dataset, such as the variables

included, the geographic coverage, a brief summary, product ordering information, etc. This

section is referred to as the “Core Data Inventory” and it contains both Census Bureau data as

well as data from other Federal agencies. Part II provides the web addresses where selected

data from Part I can be found in viewable and downloadable forms from the Internet. This

section is termed, “Datasets Available on the Internet.” Details of the information provided in

each of these sections are provided below. In addition to parts I and II, several additional

resources are provided at the back of the inventory. First, there is a list of acronyms, which
6

defines the acronyms used in Federal Datalink. There is also a list of other useful Internet sites

such as Federal, university, and minority business sites, which might be of use to Federal

Datalink users. Finally, there is a list of contacts, which provides users with the names and

numbers of persons or groups who can answer questions about the data contained in the

Federal Datalink.

PART I: CORE DATA INVENTORY

The content of each sheet in Part I is as follows:

Dataset: refers to the set of data to be explained in the rest of the sheet.

Web Address (Info.): refers to the web address where a description about the dataset can be

found. In the electronic version of this guide, the web addresses are hyperlinks, which give

users the option of jumping directly to the web page that corresponds with the address.

Source of Data: refers to the Federal Agency which “releases” the data. If the dataset is a

compilation of data from several sources, those sources are listed or it is mentioned that a

variety of sources have contributed to the dataset.

Variables: refers to the specific data items available in the dataset. Generally, all variables are

listed, although in some cases space considerations did not permit a complete listing.

Time Period Coverage: refers to the time period(s) or date(s) in time that correspond to the

data in the dataset. For example, if a CD-ROM is released as the 1996 version but the data

cover the time period 1990 to 1995, 1990 to 1995 will be listed as the time period coverage.

Geographic Detail: refers to the various levels of geography for which the data in the dataset

are available.

Years Available: refers to the issue or years of data that are being described on the rest of the

sheet and are available. For products which are released in issues (e.g., USA Counties 1996),

the issue numbers of those issues that are available appear here. For products which do not

have issue numbers (e.g., crops county data), the time periods or years of data that are

available appear here.

Data Format: refers to what medium the data are available in (e.g., CD-ROM, tape, diskette,

etc.). Data that are only available in a viewable or downloadable format from the Internet are

also listed in Part II. In such instances, the Core Data Inventory sheet serves to provide the

descriptive aspects of the dataset which are not included in Part II.

Cost: refers to how much a particular product costs when it is ordered. If available, the prices

of individual discs and tapes are provided. A “TBA” in the cost section indicates that a product

is not yet available for order.

Ordering Information: provides information on how and where to purchase the data products

available for the various datasets. Information about documentation, packaging, tax, and

shipping costs is not included. If available, telephone and FAX numbers and e-mail and web

addresses are provided.
7

Summary: provides a brief description of the dataset. The summary may include things such

as the purpose of the dataset, what types of information the dataset includes, and how the

collection of data or production of statistics is carried out.

Comments: refers to any comments that may be useful for potential buyers and users of the

dataset. If other portions of the inventory sheet require further explanation, the comments

section will include those explanations. Product release dates are included here if it is known

when the next version of a dataset will be available to the public.

Data on the Internet?: refers to whether the data are available on the Internet. Information

about how to access data from the Internet is in Part II.

PART II: DATASETS AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET

Many of the datasets described in Part I of the Federal Datalink also are available in a

viewable or downloadable format from the Internet. If a dataset is available on the Internet in

viewable form only, the data cannot be retrieved and/or manipulated using spreadsheet or

statistical software. Viewable data, therefore, can be viewed on a computer screen and/or

printed out. If a dataset is available on the Internet in a downloadable form, the data can be

saved onto a hard drive or disk and can then be manipulated using spreadsheet or statistical

software. If a dataset from Part I of the Federal Datalink is available on the Internet, a table

corresponding to that dataset will appear in Part II. The “Data on the Internet?” boxes on the

sheets in Part I provide the page numbers where the corresponding tables in Part II can be

found. The tables in Part II provide the information needed to access the data on the Internet.

The content of each table in Part II is as follows:

Site: refers to the name of the site at which the data can be viewed and/or downloaded.

Web Address (Data): refers to the web address at which the data can be viewed and/or

downloaded.

Years Available: refers to the issue or years of data that are available on the Internet.

Data Format: refers to the web-based format of the data (i.e., viewable or downloadable). If

other information about the format of the data is available, more detail is provided.

Comments: provides more detail about the data on the Internet and may include additional

information about the data, which would be helpful to users.

SOURCE OF INFORMATION

The information describing the data sets contained in the Federal Datalink was obtained

using a variety of methods. Much of the information was compiled by directly taking data

descriptions as posted on web sites. In such cases, no independent verification was made of

the posted descriptions. Other information was obtained from CD-ROM sources, direct contact

with individuals responsible for the dataset, or from other subject matter analysts or customer

service representatives. While verification of the dataset descriptions was attempted whenever

feasible, users of Federal Datalink should recognize that the information provided may contain

occasional errors and that some information may have changed since this guide was compiled.
8

NOTE ABOUT THE CENSUS OF POPULATION AND HOUSING

Many of the datasets in the Federal Datalink are from the 1980 and 1990 Census of

Population and Housing. The descriptions of these datasets mention whether a dataset

contains long or short form data. In the interest of space, a thorough discussion of the long and

short census forms is provided here.

The Census of Population and Housing consists of two primary questionnaires: the

short-form and the long-form. The short-form questionnaire contains a limited number of

population and housing questions, which are asked of all persons in each housing unit in the

United States. The short-form questionnaire items, therefore, yield 100-percent data. The

long-form questionnaire contains the questions from the short-form as well as a number of

additional questions covering housing, social, and economic subjects. The long-form is sent

only to a sample of households in the United States. In 1980, approximately 16.7 percent of

U.S. households received the long-form questionnaire. In 1990, approximately 17 percent of

U.S. households received the long-form questionnaire. In summary, the 100-percent data are a

product of the responses from the short-forms added together with the responses to the shortform questionnaire items that appear on the long-forms. The sample data are a product of the

additional questions that are included on the long-form questionnaire.
