INTRODUCTION

Data from the 1990 census are presented in several

different report series. These series are published under

the following three subject titles:

1. 1990 Census of Population (1990 CP)

2. 1990 Census of Housing (1990 CH)

3. 1990 Census of Population and Housing (1990 CPH)

The types of data and the geographic areas shown in

reports differ from one series to another. In most series,

there is one report for each State, the District of Columbia,

Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands of the United States

(Virgin Islands), plus a United States summary report.

Some series include reports for American Indian and

Alaska Native areas, metropolitan areas, and urbanized

areas. See appendix F for detailed information about the

various report series; additional 1990 census data products such as computer tapes, microfiche, and laser disks;

other related materials; and sources of assistance.

The data from the 1990 census were derived from a

limited number of basic questions asked of the entire

population and about every housing unit (referred to as the

100-percent questions), and from additional questions

asked of a sample of the population and housing units

(referred to as the sample questions). Two primary versions of questionnaires were used: a short form containing

only the 100-percent questions and a long form containing

both the 100-percent questions and the additional sample

questions. Appendix E presents facsimiles of the questionnaire pages and the respondent instructions used to

collect the data included in this report. Appendix F lists the

subjects that are covered by the 100-percent and sample

components of the 1990 census.

Legal provision for this census, which was conducted as

of April 1, 1990, was made in the Act of Congress of

August 31, 1954 (amended August 1957, December 1975,

and October 1976), which is codified in Title 13, United

States Code.

HOW TO FIND GEOGRAPHIC AREAS AND

SUBJECT-MATTER DATA

This report includes a table finding guide to assist the

user in locating those statistical tables that contain the

data that are needed. The table finding guide lists the

geographic areas and the subjects shown in this report. To

determine which tables in this report show data for a

particular topic, find the subject in the column headings at

the top of the table finding guide and then look down the

left-hand column for the desired type of geographic area.

Below is an example of a table finding guide.

HOW TO USE THE STATISTICAL TABLES

Parts of a Statistical Table

The census data included in printed reports are arranged

in tables. Each table includes four major parts: (1) heading,

(2) boxhead, (3) stub, and (4) data field.

A typical census report table is illustrated below.

The heading consists of the table number, title, and

headnote. The table number indicates the position of the

table within the report, while the title is a brief statement

indicating the classification, nature, and time reference of

the data presented in the table. The headnote is enclosed

in brackets and is located under the title. It contains

statements that qualify, explain, or provide information

pertaining to the entire table.

The boxhead is under the heading. This portion of the

table, which contains the individual column heads or

captions, describes the data in each vertical column. In the

boxhead of many tables, a spanner appears across and

above two or more column heads or across two or more

lower spanners. The purpose of a spanner is to classify or

qualify items below it or separate the table into identifiable

blocks in terms of major aspects of the data.

The stub is located at the left edge of the table. It

includes a listing of line or row captions or descriptions. At

the top of the stub is the stubhead. The stubhead is

considered to be an extension of the table title and usually

shows generic geographic area designations and restrictions.

In the stub, several features are used to help the user

better understand the contents of the table. Usually, a

block of data lines is preceded by a sidehead. The

sidehead, similar to a spanner, describes and classifies the

stub entries following it. The use of indentation in a stub

indicates the relationship of one data line to another.

Indented data lines represent subcategories that in most

instances, sum to a total. Occasionally in tables, it is

desirable to show one or more single-line subcategories

that do not sum to the total. The unit of measure, such as

dollars, is shown when it is not clear from the general

wording of the data line.

The data field is that part of the table that contains the

data. It extends from the bottom of the boxhead to the

bottom of the table and from the right of the stub to the

right-hand edge of the page.

Both geographic and subject-matter terms appear in

tables. It is important to read the definitions of the terms

used in the tables because census terms often are defined

in special ways that reflect the manner in which the

questions were asked and the data were tabulated. Definitions of geographic terms are provided in appendix A.

Subject-matter terms are defined in appendix B.

Symbols and Geographic Abbreviations

The following symbols are used in the tables and

explanations of subjects covered in this report:

• A dash ‘‘–’’ represents zero or a figure or percent that

rounds to less than 0.1.

• Three dots ‘‘...’’ mean not applicable.

• (NA) means not available.

• The prefix ‘‘r’’ indicates that the count has been revised

since publication of 1980 reports or that the area was

erroneously omitted or not shown in the correct geographic relationship in the 1980 census reports. This

symbol appears only in the 1990 CPH-2, Population and

Housing Unit Counts reports.

• A dagger ‘‘†’’ next to the name of a geographic area

indicates that there has been a geographic change(s)

(for example, an annexation or detachment, a new

incorporation, or a name change) since the information

published for the 1980 census for that area. This symbol

appears only in the 1990 CPH-2, Population and Housing Unit Counts reports. The geographic change information for the entities in a State is shown in the ‘‘User

Notes’’ section of the 1990 CPH-2, Population and

I–2 HOW TO USE THIS CENSUS REPORT

Housing Unit Counts report, for that State. The information for all States appears in the ‘‘User Notes’’ section of

the technical documentation for Summary Tape Files 1

and 3.

• A plus sign ‘‘+ ’’ or a minus sign ‘‘–’’ following a figure

denotes that the median falls in the initial or terminal

category of an open-ended distribution. (For more information on medians, see the discussion under ‘‘Derived

Measures’’ in appendix B.)

• A minus sign ‘‘–’’ preceding a figure denotes decrease.

The following geographic abbreviations are used in the

tables and explanations of subjects covered in this report:

• A ‘‘(pt.)’’ next to the name of a geographic area in a

hierarchical presentation indicates that the geographic

entity is only partially located in the superior geographic

entity. For example, a ‘‘(pt.)’’ next to a place name in a

county subdivision-place hierarchy indicates that the

place is located in more than one county subdivision.

(Places also may be ‘‘split’’ by county, congressional

district, urban/ rural, metropolitan area, voting district,

and other geographic boundaries, depending on the

presentation.) Other geographic entities also can be‘‘split’’

by a higher-level entity. The exception is a tabulation

block, which is unique within all geographic entities in

census products.

• BG is block group.

• BNA is block numbering area.

• CDP is census designated place.

• CMSA is consolidated metropolitan statistical area.

• MA is metropolitan area.

• MSA is metropolitan statistical area.

• PMSA is primary metropolitan statistical area.

• TDSA is tribal designated statistical area.

• TJSA is tribal jurisdiction statistical area.

• unorg. is unorganized territory.

• VTD is voting district.

Census tables often include derived measures such as

medians, means, percents, and ratios. More detailed information about derived measures is provided in appendix B.

GRAPHICS

Charts, statistical maps, and other graphic summaries

are included in some 1990 census reports. If graphics are

shown in a report, they are presented immediately after the

‘‘User Notes’’ section.

USER NOTES

User notes include corrections, errata, and related

explanatory information. This section appears directly before

the statistical tables in census reports unless graphics are

shown. It presents information about unique characteristics of the report and changes or corrections made too late

to be reflected in the text or tables themselves.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION

Montana was organized as a Territory in 1864 from the

northeastern part of Idaho Territory with boundaries substantially the same as those of the present State. It was

admitted to the Union in 1889 as the forty-first State.

GEOGRAPHIC CHANGE NOTES

The county subdivisions in this State are census county

divisions (CCD’s). Deer Lodge County and the former

Anaconda city are governmentally consolidated, as are

Silver Bow County and the former city of Butte. Butte-Silver

Bow is treated as a consolidated city because Walkerville

town exists as a governmental unit within the consolidated

government; the portion of the consolidated city outside of

Walkerville is treated as a place, referred to as ‘‘ButteSilver Bow (remainder).’’ The portion of Yellowstone National

Park in Montana is not part of any county, and is shown in

the tables as statistically equivalent to a county. See

appendix A for additional information. The year, where

shown parenthetically, relates to the year the action was

effective; the population and housing unit counts that

follow, respectively, are as of April 1, 1980.

AMERICAN INDIAN AND ALASKA NATIVE AREA

Alaska Native Regional Corporation (ANRC)

Alaska Native Regional Corporations (ANRC’s) are corporate entities established under the Alaska Native Claims

Settlement Act of 1972, Public Law 92-203, as amended

by Public Law 94-204, to conduct both business and

nonprofit affairs of Alaska Natives. Alaska is divided into

AREA CLASSIFICATIONS A–1
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 2 SESS: 57 OUTPUT: Wed Apr 22 13:24:37 1992 / node2/ F main F / 90dec/ all/ usst/ appa

12 ANRC’s that cover the entire State, except for the

Annette Islands Reserve. The boundaries of the 12 ANRC’s

were established by the Department of the Interior, in

cooperation with Alaska Natives. Each ANRC was designed

to include, as far as practicable, Alaska Natives with a

common heritage and common interests. The ANRC boundaries for the 1990 census were identified by the Bureau of

Land Management. A 13th region was established for

Alaska Natives who are not permanent residents and who

chose not to enroll in one of the 12 ANRC’s; no census

products are prepared for the 13th region. ANRC’s were

first identified for the 1980 census.

Each ANRC is assigned a two-digit census code ranging

from 07 through 84. These census codes are assigned in

alphabetical order of the ANRC’s.

Alaska Native Village (ANV) Statistical Area

Alaska Native villages (ANV’s) constitute tribes, bands,

clans, groups, villages, communities, or associations in

Alaska that are recognized pursuant to the Alaska Native

Claims Settlement Act of 1972, Public Law 92-203. Because

ANV’s do not have legally designated boundaries, the

Census Bureau has established Alaska Native village

statistical areas (ANVSA’s) for statistical purposes. For the

1990 census, the Census Bureau cooperated with officials

of the nonprofit corporation within each participating Alaska

Native Regional Corporation (ANRC), as well as other

knowledgeable officials, to delineate boundaries that encompass the settled area associated with each ANV. ANVSA’s

are located within ANRC’s and do not cross ANRC boundaries. ANVSA’s for the 1990 census replace the ANV’s

that the Census Bureau recognized for the 1980 census.

Each ANVSA is assigned a four-digit census code

ranging from 6001 through 8989. Each ANVSA also is

assigned a five-digit FIPS code. Both the census and FIPS

codes are assigned in alphabetical order of ANVSA’s.

American Indian Reservation and Trust Land

American Indian Reservation—Federal American Indian

reservations are areas with boundaries established by

treaty, statute, and/ or executive or court order, and recognized by the Federal Government as territory in which

American Indian tribes have jurisdiction. State reservations

are lands held in trust by State governments for the use

and benefit of a given tribe. The reservations and their

boundaries were identified for the 1990 census by the

Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), Department of Interior (for

Federal reservations), and State governments (for State

reservations). The names of American Indian reservations

recognized by State governments, but not by the Federal

Government, are followed by ‘‘(State).’’ Areas composed

of reservation lands that are administered jointly and/ or

are claimed by two reservations, as identified by the BIA,

are called ‘‘joint areas,’’ and are treated as separate

American Indian reservations for census purposes.

Federal reservations may cross State boundaries, and

Federal and State reservations may cross county, county

subdivision, and place boundaries. For reservations that

cross State boundaries, only the portion of the reservations in a given State are shown in the data products for

that State; the entire reservations are shown in data

products for the United States.

Each American Indian reservation is assigned a fourdigit census code ranging from 0001 through 4989. These

census codes are assigned in alphabetical order of American Indian reservations nationwide, except that joint areas

appear at the end of the code range. Each American Indian

reservation also is assigned a five-digit FIPS code; because

the FIPS codes are assigned in alphabetical sequence of

American Indian reservations within each State, the FIPS

code is different in each State for reservations in more

than one State.

Trust Land—Trust lands are property associated with a

particular American Indian reservation or tribe, held in trust

by the Federal Government. Trust lands may be held in

trust either for a tribe (tribal trust land) or for an individual

member of a tribe (individual trust land). Trust lands

recognized for the 1990 census comprise all tribal trust

lands and inhabited individual trust lands located outside

of a reservation boundary. As with other American Indian

areas, trust lands may be located in more than one State.

Only the trust lands in a given State are shown in the data

products for that State; all trust lands associated with a

reservation or tribe are shown in data products for the

United States. The Census Bureau first reported data for

tribal trust lands for the 1980 census.

Trust lands are assigned a four-digit census code and a

five-digit FIPS code, the same as that for the reservation

with which they are associated. Trust lands not associated

with a reservation are presented by tribal name, interspersed alphabetically among the reservations.

Tribal Designated Statistical Area (TDSA)

Tribal designated statistical areas (TDSA’s) are areas,

delineated outside Oklahoma by federally- and Staterecognized tribes without a land base or associated trust

lands, to provide statistical areas for which the Census

Bureau tabulates data. TDSA’s represent areas generally

containing the American Indian population over which

federally-recognized tribes have jurisdiction and areas in

which State tribes provide benefits and services to their

members. The names of TDSA’s delineated by Staterecognized tribes are followed by ‘‘(State).’’ The Census

Bureau did not recognize TDSA’s before the 1990 census.

Each TDSA is assigned a four-digit census code ranging

from 9001 through 9589. The census codes are assigned

in alphabetical order of TDSA’s nationwide. Each TDSA

also is assigned a five-digit FIPS code in alphabetical order

within State.

Tribal Jurisdiction Statistical Area (TJSA)

Tribal jurisdiction statistical areas (TJSA’s) are areas,

delineated by federally-recognized tribes in Oklahoma

without a reservation, for which the Census Bureau tabulates data. TJSA’s represent areas generally containing

the American Indian population over which one or more

tribal governments have jurisdiction; if tribal officials delineated adjacent TJSA’s so that they include some duplicate

territory, the overlap area is called a ‘‘joint use area,’’

which is treated as a separate TJSA for census purposes.

TJSA’s replace the ‘‘Historic Areas of Oklahoma (excluding urbanized areas)’’ shown in 1980 census data products. The Historic Areas of Oklahoma comprised the

territory located within reservations that had legally established boundaries from 1900 to 1907; these reservations

were dissolved during the 2- to 3-year period preceding the

statehood of Oklahoma in 1907. The Historic Areas of

Oklahoma (excluding urbanized areas) were identified only

for the 1980 census.

Each TJSA is assigned a four-digit census code ranging

from 5001 through 5989. The census codes are assigned

in alphabetical order of TJSA’s, except that joint areas

appear at the end of the code range. Each TJSA also is

assigned a five-digit FIPS code in alphabetical order within

Area measurements provide the size, in square kilometers (also in square miles in printed reports), recorded for

each geographic entity for which the Census Bureau

tabulates data in general-purpose data products (except

crews-of-vessels entities and ZIP Codes). (Square kilometers may be divided by 2.59 to convert an area measurement to square miles.) Area was calculated from the

specific set of boundaries recorded for the entity in the

Census Bureau’s geographic data base (see ‘‘TIGER’’).

On machine-readable files, area measurements are shown

to three decimal places; the decimal point is implied. In

printed reports and listings, area measurements are shown

to one decimal.

The Census Bureau provides measurements for both

land area and total water area for the 1990 census; the

water figure includes inland, coastal, Great Lakes, and

territorial water. (For the 1980 census, the Census Bureau

provided area measurements for land and inland water.)

The Census Bureau will provide measurements for the

component types of water for the affected entities in a

separate file. ‘‘Inland water’’ consists of any lake, reservoir, pond, or similar body of water that is recorded in the

Census Bureau’s geographic data base. It also includes

any river, creek, canal, stream, or similar feature that is

recorded in that data base as a two-dimensional feature

(rather than as a single line). The portions of the oceans

and related large embayments (such as the Chesapeake

Bay and Puget Sound), the Gulf of Mexico, and the

Caribbean Sea that belong to the United States and its

territories are considered to be ‘‘coastal’’ and ‘‘territorial’’

waters; the Great Lakes are treated as a separate water

entity. Rivers and bays that empty into these bodies of

water are treated as ‘‘inland water’’ from the point beyond

which they are narrower than one nautical mile across.

Identification of land and inland, coastal, and territorial

waters is for statistical purposes, and does not necessarily

reflect legal definitions thereof.

By definition, census blocks do not include water within

their boundaries; therefore, the water area of a block is

always zero. Land area measurements may disagree with

the information displayed on census maps and in the

TIGER file because, for area measurement purposes,

features identified as ‘‘intermittent water’’ and ‘‘glacier’’

are reported as land area. For this reason, it may not be

possible to derive the land area for an entity by summing

the land area of its component census blocks. In addition,

the water area measurement reported for some geographic entities includes water that is not included in any

lower-level geographic entity. Therefore, because water is

contained only in a higher-level geographic entity, summing the water measurements for all the component

lower-level geographic entities will not yield the water area

of that higher-level entity. This occurs, for example, where

water is associated with a county but is not within the legal

boundary of any minor civil division, or the water is

associated with a State but is not within the legal boundary

of any county. Crews-of-vessels entities (see ‘‘Census

Tract and Block Numbering Area’’ and ‘‘Block’’) do not

encompass territory and therefore have no area measurements. ZIP Codes do not have specific boundaries, and

therefore, also do not have area measurements.

The accuracy of any area measurement figure is limited

by the inaccuracy inherent in (1) the location and shape

of the various boundary features in the data base, and

(2) rounding affecting the last digit in all operations that

compute and/ or sum the area measurements.

BLOCK

Census blocks are small areas bounded on all sides by

visible features such as streets, roads, streams, and

railroad tracks, and by invisible boundaries such as city,

town, township, and county limits, property lines, and short,

imaginary extensions of streets and roads.

Tabulation blocks, used in census data products, are in

most cases the same as collection blocks, used in the

census enumeration. In some cases, collection blocks

have been ‘‘split’’ into two or more parts required for data

tabulations. Tabulation blocks do not cross the boundaries

of counties, county subdivisions, places, census tracts or

block numbering areas, American Indian and Alaska Native

areas, congressional districts, voting districts, urban or

rural areas, or urbanized areas. The 1990 census is the

first for which the entire United States and its possessions

are block-numbered.

Blocks are numbered uniquely within each census tract

or BNA. A block is identified by a three-digit number,

sometimes with a single alphabetical suffix. Block numbers

AREA CLASSIFICATIONS A–3
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 4 SESS: 53 OUTPUT: Wed Apr 22 13:24:37 1992 / node2/ F main F / 90dec/ all/ usst/ appa

with suffixes generally represent collection blocks that

were ‘‘split’’ in order to identify separate geographic entities that divide the original block. For example, when a city

limit runs through data collection block 101, the data for

the portion inside the city is tabulated in block 101A and

the portion outside, in block 101B. A block number with the

suffix ‘‘Z’’ represents a ‘‘crews-of-vessels’’ entity for which

the Census Bureau tabulates data, but that does not

represent a true geographic area; such a block is shown on

census maps associated with an anchor symbol and a

census tract or block numbering area with a .99 suffix.

BLOCK GROUP (BG)

Geographic Block Group

A geographic block group (BG) is a cluster of blocks

having the same first digit of their three-digit identifying

numbers within a census tract or block numbering area

(BNA). For example, BG 3 within a census tract or BNA

includes all blocks numbered between 301 and 397. In

most cases, the numbering involves substantially fewer

than 97 blocks. Geographic BG’s never cross census tract

or BNA boundaries, but may cross the boundaries of

county subdivisions, places, American Indian and Alaska

Native areas, urbanized areas, voting districts, and congressional districts. BG’s generally contain between 250

and 550 housing units, with the ideal size being 400

housing units.

Tabulation Block Group

In the data tabulations, a geographic BG may be split to

present data for every unique combination of county

subdivision, place, American Indian and Alaska Native

area, urbanized area, voting district, urban/ rural and congressional district shown in the data product; for example,

if BG 3 is partly in a city and partly outside the city, there

will be separate tabulated records for each portion of BG 3.

BG’s are used in tabulating decennial census data nationwide in the 1990 census, in all block-numbered areas in the

1980 census, and in Tape Address Register (TAR) areas in

the 1970 census. For purposes of data presentation, BG’s

are a substitute for the enumeration districts (ED’s) used

for reporting data in many parts of the United States for the

1970 and 1980 censuses, and in all areas for pre-1970

censuses.

BOUNDARY CHANGES

The boundaries of some counties, county subdivisions,

American Indian and Alaska Native areas, and many

incorporated places, changed between those reported for

the 1980 census and January 1, 1990. Boundary changes

to legal entities result from:

1. Annexations to or detachments from legally established governmental units.

2. Mergers or consolidations of two or more governmental units.

3. Establishment of new governmental units.

4. Disincorporations or disorganizations of existing governmental units.

5. Changes in treaties and Executive Orders.

The historical counts shown for counties, county subdivisions, and places are not updated for such changes, and

thus reflect the population and housing units in the area as

delineated at each census. Information on boundary changes

reported between the 1980 and 1990 censuses for counties, county subdivisions, and incorporated places is presented in the ‘‘User Notes’’ section of the technical

documentation of Summary Tape Files 1 and 3, and in the

1990 CPH-2, Population and Housing Unit Counts printed

reports. For information on boundary changes for such

areas in the decade preceding other decennial censuses,

see the Number of Inhabitants reports for each census.

Boundary changes are not reported for some areas, such

as census designated places and block groups.

CENSUS REGION AND CENSUS DIVISION

Census Division

Census divisions are groupings of States that are subdivisions of the four census regions. There are nine

divisions, which the Census Bureau adopted in 1910 for

the presentation of data. The regions, divisions, and their

constituent States are:

Northeast Region

New England Division:

Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,

Rhode Island, Connecticut

Middle Atlantic Division:

New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania

Midwest Region

East North Central Division:

Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin

West North Central Division:

Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota,

Nebraska, Kansas

South Region

South Atlantic Division:

Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia,

West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,

Florida

 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 5 SESS: 53 OUTPUT: Wed Apr 22 13:24:37 1992 / node2/ F main F / 90dec/ all/ usst/ appa

East South Central Division:

Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi

West South Central Division:

Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas

West Region

Mountain Division:

Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico,

Arizona, Utah, Nevada

Pacific Division:

Washington, Oregon, California, Alaska, Hawaii

Census Region

Census regions are groupings of States that subdivide

the United States for the presentation of data. There are

four regions—Northeast, Midwest, South, and West. Each

of the four census regions is divided into two or more

census divisions. Prior to 1984, the Midwest region was

named the North Central region. From 1910, when census

regions were established, through the 1940’s, there were

three regions—North, South, and West.

CENSUS TRACT AND BLOCK NUMBERING

AREA

Block Numbering Area (BNA)

Block numbering areas (BNA’s) are small statistical

subdivisions of a county for grouping and numbering

blocks in nonmetropolitan counties where local census

statistical areas committees have not established census

tracts. State agencies and the Census Bureau delineated

BNA’s for the 1990 census, using guidelines similar to

those for the delineation of census tracts. BNA’s do not

cross county boundaries.

BNA’s are identified by a four-digit basic number and

may have a two-digit suffix; for example, 9901.07. The

decimal point separating the four-digit basic BNA number

from the two-digit suffix is shown in printed reports, in

microfiche, and on census maps; in machine-readable

files, the decimal point is implied. Many BNA’s do not have

a suffix; in such cases, the suffix field is left blank in all data

products. BNA numbers range from 9501 through 9989.99,

and are unique within a county (numbers in the range of

0001 through 9499.99 denote a census tract). The suffix

.99 identifies a BNA that was populated entirely by persons

aboard one or more civilian or military ships. A ‘‘crews-ofvessels’’ BNA appears on census maps only as an anchor

symbol with its BNA number (and block numbers on maps

showing block numbers); the BNA relates to the ships

associated with the onshore BNA’s having the same

four-digit basic number. Suffixes in the range .80 through

.98 usually identify BNA’s that either were revised or were

created during the 1990 census data collection activities.

Some of these revisions produced BNA’s that have extremely

small land area and may have little or no population or

housing. For data analysis, such a BNA can be summarized with an adjacent BNA.

Census Tract

Census tracts are small, relatively permanent statistical

subdivisions of a county. Census tracts are delineated for

all metropolitan areas (MA’s) and other densely populated

counties by local census statistical areas committees

following Census Bureau guidelines (more than 3,000

census tracts have been established in 221 counties

outside MA’s). Six States (California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, New Jersey, and Rhode Island) and the

District of Columbia are covered entirely by census tracts.

Census tracts usually have between 2,500 and 8,000

persons and, when first delineated, are designed to be

homogeneous with respect to population characteristics,

economic status, and living conditions. Census tracts do

not cross county boundaries. The spatial size of census

tracts varies widely depending on the density of settlement. Census tract boundaries are delineated with the

intention of being maintained over a long time so that

statistical comparisons can be made from census to

census. However, physical changes in street patterns

caused by highway construction, new development, etc.,

may require occasional revisions; census tracts occasionally are split due to large population growth, or combined

as a result of substantial population decline. Census tracts

are referred to as ‘‘tracts’’ in all 1990 data products.

Census tracts are identified by a four-digit basic number

and may have a two-digit suffix; for example, 6059.02. The

decimal point separating the four-digit basic tract number

from the two-digit suffix is shown in printed reports, in

microfiche, and on census maps; in machine-readable

files, the decimal point is implied. Many census tracts do

not have a suffix; in such cases, the suffix field is left blank

in all data products. Leading zeros in a census tract

number (for example, 002502) are shown only on machinereadable files.

Census tract numbers range from 0001 through 9499.99

and are unique within a county (numbers in the range of

9501 through 9989.99 denote a block numbering area).

The suffix .99 identifies a census tract that was populated

entirely by persons aboard one or more civilian or military

ships. A ‘‘crews-of-vessels’’ census tract appears on census maps only as an anchor symbol with its census tract

number (and block numbers on maps showing block

numbers). These census tracts relate to the ships associated with the onshore census tract having the same

four-digit basic number. Suffixes in the range .80 through

.98 usually identify census tracts that either were revised

or were created during the 1990 census data collection

activities. Some of these revisions may have resulted in

census tracts that have extremely small land area and may

have little or no population or housing. For data analysis,

such a census tract can be summarized with an adjacent

census tract.

CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT (CD)

Congressional districts (CD’s) are the 435 areas from

which persons are elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. After the apportionment of congressional seats

among the States, based on census population counts,

each State is responsible for establishing CD’s for the

purpose of electing representatives. Each CD is to be as

equal in population to all other CD’s in the State as

practicable, based on the decennial census counts.

The CD’s that were in effect on January 1, 1990 were

those of the 101st Congress. Data on the 101st Congress

appear in an early 1990 census data product (Summary

Tape File 1A). The CD’s of the 101st Congress are the

same as those in effect for the 102nd Congress. CD’s of

the 103rd Congress, reflecting redistricting based on the

1990 census, are summarized in later 1990 data products

(STF’s 1D and 3D, and 1990 CPH-4, Population and

Housing Characteristics for Congressional Districts of the

103rd Congress printed reports).

COUNTY

The primary political divisions of most States are termed

‘‘counties.’’ In Louisiana, these divisions are known as

‘‘parishes.’’ In Alaska, which has no counties, the county

equivalents are the organized ‘‘boroughs’’ and the ‘‘census areas’’ that are delineated for statistical purposes by

the State of Alaska and the Census Bureau. In four States

(Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, and Virginia), there are one

or more cities that are independent of any county organization and thus constitute primary divisions of their States.

These cities are known as ‘‘independent cities’’ and are

treated as equivalent to counties for statistical purposes.

That part of Yellowstone National Park in Montana is

treated as a county equivalent. The District of Columbia

has no primary divisions, and the entire area is considered

equivalent to a county for statistical purposes.

Each county and county equivalent is assigned a threedigit FIPS code that is unique within State. These codes

are assigned in alphabetical order of county or county

equivalent within State, except for the independent cities,

which follow the listing of counties.

COUNTY SUBDIVISION

County subdivisions are the primary subdivisions of

counties and their equivalents for the reporting of decennial census data. They include census county divisions,

census subareas, minor civil divisions, and unorganized

territories.

Each county subdivision is assigned a three-digit census code in alphabetical order within county and a five-digit

FIPS code in alphabetical order within State.

Census County Division (CCD)

Census county divisions (CCD’s) are subdivisions of a

county that were delineated by the Census Bureau, in

cooperation with State officials and local census statistical

areas committees, for statistical purposes. CCD’s were

established in 21 States where there are no legally established minor civil divisions (MCD’s), where the MCD’s do

not have governmental or administrative purposes, where

the boundaries of the MCD’s change frequently, and/ or

where the MCD’s are not generally known to the public.

CCD’s have no legal functions, and are not governmental

units.

The boundaries of CCD’s usually are delineated to

follow visible features, and in most cases coincide with

census tract or block numbering area boundaries. The

name of each CCD is based on a place, county, or

well-known local name that identifies its location. CCD’s

have been established in the following 21 States: Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida,

Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Kentucky, Montana, Nevada, New

Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee,

Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. For the 1980

census, the county subdivisions recognized for Nevada

were MCD’s.

Census Subarea (Alaska)

Census subareas are statistical subdivisions of boroughs and census areas (county equivalents) in Alaska.

Census subareas were delineated cooperatively by the

State of Alaska and the Census Bureau. The census

subareas, identified first in 1980, replaced the various

types of subdivisions used in the 1970 census.

Minor Civil Division (MCD)

Minor civil divisions (MCD’s) are the primary political or

administrative divisions of a county. MCD’s represent

many different kinds of legal entities with a wide variety of

governmental and/ or administrative functions. MCD’s are

variously designated as American Indian reservations,

assessment districts, boroughs, election districts, gores,

grants, magisterial districts, parish governing authority

districts, plantations, precincts, purchases, supervisors’

districts, towns, and townships. In some States, all or some

incorporated places are not located in any MCD and thus

serve as MCD’s in their own right. In other States, incorporated places are subordinate to (part of) the MCD’s in

which they are located, or the pattern is mixed—some

incorporated places are independent of MCD’s and others

are subordinate to one or more MCD’s.

The Census Bureau recognizes MCD’s in the following

28 States: Arkansas, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,

Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New

Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North

Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota,

Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The District of Columbia has no primary divisions, and the entire

area is considered equivalent to an MCD for statistical

purposes.

 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 7 SESS: 50 OUTPUT: Wed Apr 22 13:24:37 1992 / node2/ F main F / 90dec/ all/ usst/ appa

The MCD’s in 12 selected States (Connecticut, Maine,

Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire,

New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin) also serve as general-purpose local

governments. The Census Bureau presents data for these

MCD’s in all data products in which it provides data for

places.

Unorganized Territory (unorg.)

In nine States (Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana,

Maine, Minnesota, North Carolina, North Dakota, and

South Dakota), some counties contain territory that is not

included in an MCD recognized by the Census Bureau.

Each separate area of unorganized territory in these

States is recognized as one or more separate county

subdivisions for census purposes. Each unorganized territory is given a descriptive name, followed by the designation ‘‘unorg.’’

GEOGRAPHIC CODE

Geographic codes are shown primarily on machinereadable data products, such as computer tape and compact disc-read only memory (CD-ROM), but also appear on

other products such as microfiche; they also are shown on

some census maps. Codes are identified as ‘‘census

codes’’ only if there is also a Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) code for the same geographic entity.

A code that is not identified as either ‘‘census’’ or ‘‘FIPS’’

is usually a census code for which there is no FIPS

equivalent, or for which the Census Bureau does not use

the FIPS code. The exceptions, which use only the FIPS

code in census products, are county, congressional district, and metropolitan area (that is, metropolitan statistical

area, consolidated metropolitan statistical area, and primary metropolitan statistical area).

Census Code

Census codes are assigned for a variety of geographic

entities, including American Indian and Alaska Native area,

census division, census region, county subdivision, place,

State, urbanized area, and voting district. The structure,

format, and meaning of census codes appear in the 1990

census Geographic Identification Code Scheme; in the

data dictionary portion of the technical documentation for

summary tape files, CD-ROM’s, and microfiche.

Federal Information Processing Standards

(FIPS) Code

Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) codes

are assigned for a variety of geographic entities, including

American Indian and Alaska Native area, congressional

district, county, county subdivision, metropolitan area, place,

and State. The structure, format, and meaning of FIPS

codes used in the census are shown in the 1990 census

Geographic Identification Code Scheme; in the data dictionary portion of the technical documentation for summary tape files, CD-ROM’s, and microfiche.

The objective of the FIPS codes is to improve the use of

data resources of the Federal Government and avoid

unnecessary duplication and incompatibilities in the collection, processing, and dissemination of data. More information about FIPS and FIPS code documentation is available

from the National Technical Information Service, Springfield, VA 22161.

United States Postal Service (USPS) Code

United States Postal Service (USPS) codes for States

are used in all 1990 data products. The codes are twocharacter alphabetic abbreviations. These codes are the

same as the FIPS two-character alphabetic abbreviations.

GEOGRAPHIC PRESENTATION

Hierarchical Presentation

A hierarchical geographic presentation shows the geographic entities in a superior/ subordinate structure in

census products. This structure is derived from the legal,

administrative, or areal relationships of the entities. The

hierarchical structure is depicted in report tables by means

of indentation, and is explained for machine-readable

media in the discussion of file structure in the geographic

coverage portion of the abstract in the technical documentation. An example of hierarchical presentation is the

‘‘standard census geographic hierarchy’’: block, within

block group, within census tract or block numbering area,

within place, within county subdivision, within county, within

State, within division, within region, within the United

States. Graphically, this is shown as:

United States

Region

Division

State

County

County subdivision

Place (or part)

Census tract/ block numbering area

(or part)

Block group (or part)

Block

Inventory Presentation

An inventory presentation of geographic entities is one

in which all entities of the same type are shown in

alphabetical or code sequence, without reference to their

hierarchical relationships. Generally, an inventory presentation shows totals for entities that may be split in a

hierarchical presentation, such as place, census tract/

AREA CLASSIFICATIONS A–7
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 8 SESS: 57 OUTPUT: Wed Apr 22 13:24:37 1992 / node2/ F main F / 90dec/ all/ usst/ appa

block numbering area, or block group. An example of a

series of inventory presentations is: State, followed by all

the counties in that State, followed by all the places in that

State. Graphically, this is shown as:

State

County ‘‘A’’

County ‘‘B’’

County ‘‘C’’

Place ‘‘X’’

Place ‘‘Y’’

Place ‘‘Z’’

HISTORICAL COUNTS

Historical counts for total population and total housing

units are shown in the 1990 CPH-2, Population and

Housing Unit Counts report series. As in past censuses,

the general rule for presenting historical data for States,

counties, county subdivisions, and places is to show

historical counts only for single, continually existing entities. Stated another way, if an entity existed for both the

current and preceding censuses, the tables show counts

for the preceding censuses. Included in this category are

entities of the same type (county, county subdivision,

place) even if they had changed their names. Also included

are entities that merged, but only if the new entity retained

the name of one of the merged entities. The historical

counts shown are for each entity as it was bounded at

each census.

In cases where an entity was formed since a preceding

census, such as a newly incorporated place or a newly

organized township, the symbol three dots ‘‘...’’ is shown

for earlier censuses. The three-dot symbol also is shown

for those parts of a place that have extended into an

additional county or county subdivision through annexation

or other revision of boundaries since the preceding census.

In a few cases, changes in the boundaries of county

subdivisions caused a place to be split into two or more

parts, or to be split differently than in the preceding census.

If historical counts for the parts of the place as currently

split did not appear in a preceding census, ‘‘(NA)’’ is shown

for the place in each county subdivision; however, the

historical population and housing unit counts of the place

appear in tables that show the entire place. For counties,

county subdivisions, and places formed since January 1,

1980, 1980 census population and housing unit counts in

the 1990 territory are reported in the geographic change

notes included in the ‘‘User Notes’’ text section of 1990

CPH-2, Population and Housing Unit Counts, and in the

technical documentation of Summary Tape Files 1 and 3.

In some cases, population and housing unit counts for

individual areas were revised since publication of the 1980

reports (indicated by the prefix ‘‘r’’). In a number of tables

of 1990 CPH-2, Population and Housing Unit Counts, 1980

counts are shown for aggregations of individual areas,

such as the number, population, and housing unit counts of

places in size groups, or urban and rural distributions.

Revisions of population and housing unit counts for individual areas were not applied to the various aggregations.

Therefore, it may not be possible to determine the individual areas in a given aggregation using the historical counts;

conversely, the sum of the counts shown for individual

areas may not agree with the aggregation.

INTERNAL POINT

An internal point is a set of geographic coordinates

(latitude and longitude) that is located within a specified

geographic entity. A single point is identified for each

entity; for many entities, this point represents the approximate geographic center of that entity. If the shape of the

entity caused this point to be located outside the boundaries of the entity, it is relocated from the center so that it

is within the entity. If the internal point for a block falls in a

water area, it is relocated to a land area within the block.

On machine-readable products, internal points are shown

to six decimal places; the decimal point is implied.

METROPOLITAN AREA (MA)

The general concept of a metropolitan area (MA) is one

of a large population nucleus, together with adjacent

communities that have a high degree of economic and

social integration with that nucleus. Some MA’s are defined

around two or more nuclei.

The MA classification is a statistical standard, developed for use by Federal agencies in the production,

analysis, and publication of data on MA’s. The MA’s are

designated and defined by the Federal Office of Management and Budget, following a set of official published

standards. These standards were developed by the interagency Federal Executive Committee on Metropolitan

Areas, with the aim of producing definitions that are as

consistent as possible for all MA’s nationwide.

Each MA must contain either a place with a minimum

population of 50,000 or a Census Bureau-defined urbanized area and a total MA population of at least 100,000

(75,000 in New England). An MA comprises one or more

central counties. An MA also may include one or more

outlying counties that have close economic and social

relationships with the central county. An outlying county

must have a specified level of commuting to the central

counties and also must meet certain standards regarding

metropolitan character, such as population density, urban

population, and population growth. In New England, MA’s

are composed of cities and towns rather than whole

counties.

The territory, population, and housing units in MA’s are

referred to as ‘‘metropolitan.’’ The metropolitan category is

subdivided into ‘‘inside central city’’ and ‘‘outside central

city.’’ The territory, population, and housing units located

outside MA’s are referred to as ‘‘nonmetropolitan.’’ The

A–8 AREA CLASSIFICATIONS
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 9 SESS: 57 OUTPUT: Wed Apr 22 13:24:37 1992 / node2/ F main F / 90dec/ all/ usst/ appa

metropolitan and nonmetropolitan classification cuts across

the other hierarchies; for example, there is generally both

urban and rural territory within both metropolitan and

nonmetropolitan areas.

To meet the needs of various users, the standards

provide for a flexible structure of metropolitan definitions

that classify an MA either as a metropolitan statistical area

(MSA) or as a consolidated metropolitan statistical area

(CMSA) that is divided into primary metropolitan statistical

areas (PMSA’s). Documentation of the MA standards and

how they are applied is available from the Secretary,

Federal Executive Committee on Metropolitan Areas, Population Division, U.S. Bureau of the Census, Washington,

DC 20233.

Central City

In each MSA and CMSA, the largest place and, in some

cases, additional places are designated as ‘‘central cities’’

under the official standards. A few PMSA’s do not have

central cities. The largest central city and, in some cases,

up to two additional central cities are included in the title of

the MA; there also are central cities that are not included

in an MA title. An MA central city does not include any part

of that city that extends outside the MA boundary.

Consolidated and Primary Metropolitan

Statistical Area (CMSA and PMSA)

If an area that qualifies as an MA has more than one

million persons, primary metropolitan statistical areas (PMSA’s)

may be defined within it. PMSA’s consist of a large

urbanized county or cluster of counties that demonstrates

very strong internal economic and social links, in addition

to close ties to other portions of the larger area. When

PMSA’s are established, the larger area of which they are

component parts is designated a consolidated metropolitan statistical area (CMSA).

Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA)

Metropolitan statistical areas (MSA’s) are relatively freestanding MA’s and are not closely associated with other

MA’s. These areas typically are surrounded by nonmetropolitan counties.

Metropolitan Area Title and Code

The title of an MSA contains the name of its largest

central city and up to two additional city names, provided

that the additional places meet specified levels of population, employment, and commuting. Generally, a city with a

population of 250,000 or more is in the title, regardless of

other criteria.

The title of a PMSA may contain up to three place

names, as determined above, or up to three county names,

sequenced in order of population. A CMSA title also may

include up to three names, the first of which generally is

the most populous central city in the area. The second

name may be the first city or county name in the most

populous remaining PMSA; the third name may be the first

city or county name in the next most populous PMSA. A

regional designation may be substituted for the second

and/ or third names in a CMSA title if such a designation is

supported by local opinion and is deemed to be unambiguous and suitable by the Office of Management and

Budget.

The titles for all MA’s also contain the name of each

State in which the area is located. Each metropolitan area

is assigned a four-digit FIPS code, in alphabetical order

nationwide. If the fourth digit of the code is a ‘‘2,’’ it

identifies a CMSA. Additionally, there is a separate set of

two-digit codes for CMSA’s, also assigned alphabetically.

OUTLYING AREAS OF THE UNITED STATES

The Census Bureau treats the outlying areas as the

statistical equivalents of States for the 1990 census. The

outlying areas are American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (Northern Mariana

Islands), Republic of Palau (Palau), Puerto Rico, and the

Virgin Islands of the United States (Virgin Islands). Geographic definitions specific to each outlying area are

shown in appendix A of the text in the data products for

each area.

PLACE

Places, for the reporting of decennial census data,

include census designated places and incorporated places.

Each place is assigned a four-digit census code that is

unique within State. Each place is also assigned a five-digit

FIPS code that is unique within State. Both the census and

FIPS codes are assigned based on alphabetical order

within State. Consolidated cities (see below) are assigned

a one-character alphabetical census code that is unique

nationwide and a five-digit FIPS code that is unique within

State.

Census Designated Place (CDP)

Census designated places (CDP’s) are delineated for

the decennial census as the statistical counterparts of

incorporated places. CDP’s comprise densely settled concentrations of population that are identifiable by name, but

are not legally incorporated places. Their boundaries,

which usually coincide with visible features or the boundary

of an adjacent incorporated place, have no legal status,

nor do these places have officials elected to serve traditional municipal functions. CDP boundaries may change

with changes in the settlement pattern; a CDP with the

same name as in previous censuses does not necessarily

have the same boundaries.

 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 10 SESS: 57 OUTPUT: Wed Apr 22 13:24:37 1992 / node2/ F main F / 90dec/ all/ usst/ appa

Beginning with the 1950 census, the Census Bureau, in

cooperation with State agencies and local census statistical areas committees, has identified and delineated boundaries for CDP’s. In the 1990 census, the name of each

such place is followed by ‘‘CDP.’’ In the 1980 census,

‘‘(CDP)’’ was used; in 1970, 1960, and 1950 censuses,

these places were identified by ‘‘(U),’’ meaning ‘‘unincorporated place.’’

To qualify as a CDP for the 1990 census, an unincorporated community must have met the following criteria:

1. In all States except Alaska and Hawaii, the Census

Bureau uses three population size criteria to designate

a CDP. These criteria are:

a. 1,000 or more persons if outside the boundaries of

an urbanized area (UA) delineated for the 1980

census or a subsequent special census.

b. 2,500 or more persons if inside the boundaries of

a UA delineated for the 1980 census or a subsequent special census.

c. 250 or more persons if outside the boundaries of a

UA delineated for the 1980 census or a subsequent special census, and within the official boundaries of an American Indian reservation recognized for the 1990 census.

2. In Alaska, 25 or more persons if outside a UA, and

2,500 or more persons if inside a UA delineated for the

1980 census or a subsequent special census.

3. In Hawaii, 300 or more persons, regardless of whether

the community is inside or outside a UA.

For the 1990 census, CDP’s qualified on the basis of the

population counts prepared for the 1990 Postcensus Local

Review Program. Because these counts were subject to

change, a few CDP’s may have final population counts

lower than the minimums shown above.

Hawaii is the only State with no incorporated places

recognized by the Bureau of the Census. All places shown

for Hawaii in the data products are CDP’s. By agreement

with the State of Hawaii, the Census Bureau does not show

data separately for the city of Honolulu, which is coextensive with Honolulu County.

Consolidated City

A consolidated government is a unit of local government for which the functions of an incorporated place and

its county or minor civil division (MCD) have merged. The

legal aspects of this action may result in both the primary

incorporated place and the county or MCD continuing to

exist as legal entities, even though the county or MCD

performs few or no governmental functions and has few or

no elected officials. Where this occurs, and where one or

more other incorporated places in the county or MCD

continue to function as separate governments, even though

they have been included in the consolidated government,

the primary incorporated place is referred to as a ‘‘consolidated city.’’

The data presentation for consolidated cities varies

depending upon the geographic presentation. In hierarchical presentations, consolidated cities are not shown. These

presentations include the semi-independent places and

the ‘‘consolidated city (remainder).’’ Where the consolidated city is coextensive with a county or county subdivision, the data shown for those areas in hierarchical

presentations are equivalent to those for the consolidated

government.

For inventory geographic presentations, the consolidated city appears at the end of the listing of places. The

data for the consolidated city include places that are part

of the consolidated city. The ‘‘consolidated city (remainder)’’ is the portion of the consolidated government minus

the semi-independent places, and is shown in alphabetical

sequence with other places.

In summary presentations by size of place, the consolidated city is not included. The places semi-independent of

consolidated cities are categorized by their size, as is the

‘‘consolidated city (remainder).’’

Each consolidated city is assigned a one-character

alphabetic census code. Each consolidated city also is

assigned a five-digit FIPS code that is unique within State.

The semi-independent places and the ‘‘consolidated city

(remainder)’’ are assigned a four-digit census code and a

five-digit FIPS place code that are unique within State.

Both the census and FIPS codes are assigned based on

alphabetical order within State.

Incorporated Place

Incorporated places recognized in 1990 census data

products are those reported to the Census Bureau as

legally in existence on January 1, 1990 under the laws of

their respective States as cities, boroughs, towns, and

villages, with the following exceptions: the towns in the

New England States, New York, and Wisconsin, and the

boroughs in New York are recognized as minor civil

divisions for census purposes; the boroughs in Alaska are

county equivalents.

POPULATION OR HOUSING UNIT DENSITY

Population or housing unit density is computed by

dividing the total population or housing units of a geographic unit (for example, United States, State, county,

place) by its land area measured in square kilometers or

square miles. Density is expressed as both ‘‘persons (or

housing units) per square kilometer’’ and ‘‘persons (or

housing units) per square mile’’ of land area in 1990

census printed reports.

STATE

States are the primary governmental divisions of the

United States. The District of Columbia is treated as a

statistical equivalent of a State for census purposes. The

four census regions, nine census divisions, and their

component States are shown under ‘‘CENSUS REGION

AND CENSUS DIVISION’’ in this appendix.

The Census Bureau treats the outlying areas as State

equivalents for the 1990 census. The outlying areas are

American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands,

Palau, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands of the United

States. Geographic definitions specific to each outlying

area are shown in appendix A in the data products for each

area.

Each State and equivalent is assigned a two-digit numeric

Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) code in

alphabetical order by State name, followed by the outlying

area names. Each State and equivalent area also is

assigned a two-digit census code. This code is assigned

on the basis of the geographic sequence of each State

within each census division; the first digit of the code is the

code for the respective division. Puerto Rico, the Virgin

Islands, and the outlying areas of the Pacific are assigned

‘‘0’’ as the division code. Each State and equivalent area

also is assigned the two-letter FIPS/ United States Postal

Service (USPS) code.

In 12 selected States (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey,

New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and

Wisconsin), the minor civil divisions also serve as generalpurpose local governments. The Census Bureau presents

data for these minor civil divisions in all data products in

which it provides data for places.

TIGER

TIGER is an acronym for the new digital (computerreadable) geographic data base that automates the mapping and related geographic activities required to support

the Census Bureau’s census and survey programs. The

Census Bureau developed the Topologically Integrated

Geographic Encoding and Referencing (TIGER) System to

automate the geographic support processes needed to

meet the major geographic needs of the 1990 census:

producing the cartographic products to support data collection and map publication, providing the geographic

structure for tabulation and publication of the collected

data, assigning residential and employer addresses to their

geographic location and relating those locations to the

Census Bureau’s geographic units, and so forth. The

content of the TIGER data base is made available to the

public through a variety of ‘‘TIGER Extract’’ files that may

be obtained from the Data User Services Division, U.S.

Bureau of the Census, Washington, DC 20233.

UNITED STATES

The United States comprises the 50 States and the

District of Columbia. In addition, the Census Bureau treats

the outlying areas as statistical equivalents of States for

the 1990 census. The outlying areas include American

Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Palau, Puerto

Rico, and the Virgin Islands.

URBAN AND RURAL

The Census Bureau defines ‘‘urban’’ for the 1990

census as comprising all territory, population, and housing

units in urbanized areas and in places of 2,500 or more

persons outside urbanized areas. More specifically, ‘‘urban’’

consists of territory, persons, and housing units in:

1. Places of 2,500 or more persons incorporated as

cities, villages, boroughs (except in Alaska and New

York), and towns (except in the six New England

States, New York, and Wisconsin), but excluding the

rural portions of ‘‘extended cities.’’

2. Census designated places of 2,500 or more persons.

3. Other territory, incorporated or unincorporated, included

in urbanized areas.

Territory, population, and housing units not classified as

urban constitute ‘‘rural.’’ In the 100-percent data products,

‘‘rural’’ is divided into ‘‘places of less than 2,500’’ and ‘‘not

in places.’’ The ‘‘not in places’’ category comprises ‘‘rural’’

outside incorporated and census designated places and

the rural portions of extended cities. In many data products, the term ‘‘other rural’’ is used; ‘‘other rural’’ is a

residual category specific to the classification of the rural in

each data product.

In the sample data products, rural population and housing units are subdivided into ‘‘rural farm’’ and ‘‘rural

nonfarm.’’ ‘‘Rural farm’’ comprises all rural households

and housing units on farms (places from which $1,000 or

more of agricultural products were sold in 1989); ‘‘rural

nonfarm’’ comprises the remaining rural.

The urban and rural classification cuts across the other

hierarchies; for example, there is generally both urban and

rural territory within both metropolitan and nonmetropolitan

areas.

In censuses prior to 1950, ‘‘urban’’ comprised all territory, persons, and housing units in incorporated places of

2,500 or more persons, and in areas (usually minor civil

divisions) classified as urban under special rules relating to

population size and density. The definition of urban that

restricted itself to incorporated places having 2,500 or

more persons excluded many large, densely settled areas

merely because they were not incorporated. Prior to the

1950 census, the Census Bureau attempted to avoid some

of the more obvious omissions by classifying selected

areas as ‘‘urban under special rules.’’ Even with these

rules, however, many large, closely built-up areas were

excluded from the urban category.

To improve its measure of urban territory, population,

and housing units, the Census Bureau adopted the concept of the urbanized area and delineated boundaries for

AREA CLASSIFICATIONS A–11
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 12 SESS: 57 OUTPUT: Wed Apr 22 13:24:37 1992 / node2/ F main F / 90dec/ all/ usst/ appa

unincorporated places (now, census designated places)

for the 1950 census. Urban was defined as territory,

persons, and housing units in urbanized areas and, outside

urbanized areas, in all places, incorporated or unincorporated, that had 2,500 or more persons. With the following

three exceptions, the 1950 census definition of urban has

continued substantially unchanged. First, in the 1960 census (but not in the 1970, 1980, or 1990 censuses), certain

towns in the New England States, townships in New

Jersey and Pennsylvania, and Arlington County, Virginia,

were designated as urban. However, most of these ‘‘special rule’’ areas would have been classified as urban

anyway because they were included in an urbanized area

or in an unincorporated place of 2,500 or more persons.

Second, ‘‘extended cities’’ were identified for the 1970,

1980, and 1990 censuses. Extended cities primarily affect

the figures for urban and rural territory (area), but have very

little effect on the urban and rural population and housing

units at the national and State levels— although for some

individual counties and urbanized areas, the effects have

been more evident. Third, changes since the 1970 census

in the criteria for defining urbanized areas have permitted

these areas to be defined around smaller centers.

Documentation of the urbanized area and extended city

criteria is available from the Chief, Geography Division,

U.S. Bureau of the Census, Washington, DC 20233.

Extended City

Since the 1960 census, there has been a trend in some

States toward the extension of city boundaries to include

territory that is essentially rural in character. The classification of all the population and living quarters of such

places as urban would include in the urban designation

territory, persons, and housing units whose environment is

primarily rural. For the 1970, 1980, and 1990 censuses, the

Census Bureau identified as rural such territory and its

population and housing units for each extended city whose

closely settled area was located in an urbanized area. For

the 1990 census, this classification also has been applied

to certain places outside urbanized areas.

In summary presentations by size of place, the urban

portion of an extended city is classified by the population of

the entire place; the rural portion is included in ‘‘other

rural.’’

URBANIZED AREA (UA)

The Census Bureau delineates urbanized areas (UA’s)

to provide a better separation of urban and rural territory,

population, and housing in the vicinity of large places. A UA

comprises one or more places (‘‘central place’’) and the

adjacent densely settled surrounding territory (‘‘urban fringe’’)

that together have a minimum of 50,000 persons. The

urban fringe generally consists of contiguous territory

having a density of least 1,000 persons per square mile.

The urban fringe also includes outlying territory of such

density if it was connected to the core of the contiguous

area by road and is within 1 1/ 2 road miles of that core, or

within 5 road miles of the core but separated by water or

other undevelopable territory. Other territory with a population density of fewer than 1,000 people per square mile is

included in the urban fringe if it eliminates an enclave or

closes an indentation in the boundary of the urbanized

area. The population density is determined by (1) outside

of a place, one or more contiguous census blocks with a

population density of at least 1,000 persons per square

mile or (2) inclusion of a place containing census blocks

that have at least 50 percent of the population of the place

and a density of at least 1,000 persons per square mile.

The complete criteria are available from the Chief, Geography Division, U.S. Bureau of the Census, Washington,

DC 20233.

Urbanized Area Central Place

One or more central places function as the dominant

centers of each UA. The identification of a UA central

place permits the comparison of this dominant center with

the remaining territory in the UA. There is no limit on the

number of central places, and not all central places are

necessarily included in the UA title. UA central places

include:

1. Each place entirely (or partially, if the place is an

extended city) within the UA that is a central city of a

metropolitan area (MA).

2. If the UA does not contain an MA central city or is

located outside of an MA, the central place(s) is

determined by population size.

Urbanized Area Title and Code

The title of a UA identifies those places that are most

important within the UA; it links the UA to the encompassing MA, where appropriate. If a single MA includes most of

the UA, the title and code of the UA generally are the same

as the title and code of the MA. If the UA is not mostly

included in a single MA, if it does not include any place that

is a central city of the encompassing MA, or if it is not

located in an MA, the Census Bureau uses the population

size of the included places, with a preference for incorporated places, to determine the UA title. The name of each

State in which the UA is located also is in each UA title.

The numeric code used to identify each UA is the same

as the code for the mostly encompassing MA (including

CMSA and PMSA). If MA title cities represent multiple

UA’s, or the UA title city does not correspond to the first

name of an MA title, the Census Bureau assigns a code

based on the alphabetical sequence of the UA title in

relationship to the other UA and MA titles.

VOTING DISTRICT (VTD)

A voting district (VTD) is any of a variety of types of

areas (for example, election districts, precincts, wards,

legislative districts) established by State and local governments for purposes of elections. For census purposes,

A–12 AREA CLASSIFICATIONS
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 13 SESS: 57 OUTPUT: Wed Apr 22 13:24:37 1992 / node2/ F main F / 90dec/ all/ usst/ appa

each State participating in Phase 2 of the 1990 Census

Redistricting Data Program outlined the boundaries of

VTD’s around groups of whole census blocks on census

maps. The entities identified as VTD’s are not necessarily

those legally or currently established. Also, to meet the

‘‘whole block’’ criterion, a State may have had to adjust

VTD boundaries to nearby block boundaries. Therefore,

the VTD’s shown on the 1990 census tapes, listings, and

maps may not represent the actual VTD’s in effect at the

time of the census. In the 1980 census, VTD’s were

referred to as ‘‘election precincts.’’

Each VTD is assigned a four-character alphanumeric

code that is unique within each county. The code ‘‘ZZZZ’’

is assigned to nonparticipating areas; the Census Bureau

reports data for areas coded ‘‘ZZZZ.’’

ZIP CODE

ZIP Codes are administrative units established by the

United States Postal Service (USPS) for the distribution of

mail. ZIP Codes serve addresses for the most efficient

delivery of mail, and therefore generally do not respect

political or census statistical area boundaries. ZIP Codes

usually do not have clearly identifiable boundaries, often

serve a continually changing area, are changed periodically to meet postal requirements, and do not cover all the

land area of the United States. ZIP Codes are identified by

five-digit codes assigned by the USPS. The first three digits

identify a major city or sectional distribution center, and the

last two digits generally signify a specific post office’s

delivery area or point. For the 1990 census, ZIP Code data

are tabulated for the five-digit codes in STF 3B.

POPULATION CHARACTERISTICS

In this report, counts of all persons living in housing units

and group quarters are presented for various geographic

areas. Separate population characteristics are not shown.

HOUSING CHARACTERISTICS

LIVING QUARTERS

Living quarters are classified as either housing units or

group quarters. Usually, living quarters are in structures

intended for residential use (for example, a one-family

home, apartment house, hotel or motel, boarding house, or

mobile home). Living quarters also may be in structures

intended for nonresidential use (for example, the rooms in

a warehouse where a guard lives), as well as in places

such as tents, vans, shelters for the homeless, dormitories,

barracks, and old railroad cars.

Housing Units—A housing unit is a house, an apartment,

a mobile home or trailer, a group of rooms or a single room

occupied as separate living quarters or, if vacant, intended

for occupancy as separate living quarters. Separate living

quarters are those in which the occupants live and eat

separately from any other persons in the building and

which have direct access from outside the building or

through a common hall.

The occupants may be a single family, one person living

alone, two or more families living together, or any other

group of related or unrelated persons who share living

arrangements. For vacant units, the criteria of separateness and direct access are applied to the intended occupants whenever possible. If that information cannot be

obtained, the criteria are applied to the previous occupants.

Both occupied and vacant housing units are included in

the housing unit inventory, except that recreational vehicles, boats, vans, tents, railroad cars, and the like are

included only if they are occupied as someone’s usual

place of residence. Vacant mobile homes are included

provided they are intended for occupancy on the site

where they stand. Vacant mobile homes on dealers’ sales

lots, at the factory, or in storage yards are excluded from

the housing inventory.

If the living quarters contain 9 or more persons unrelated to the householder or person in charge (a total of 10

unrelated persons), they are classified as group quarters. If

the living quarters contain eight or fewer persons unrelated

to the householder or person in charge, they are classified

as housing units.

Occupied Housing Units—A housing unit is classified as

occupied if it is the usual place of residence of the person

or group of persons living in it at the time of enumeration,

or if the occupants are only temporarily absent; that is,

away on vacation. If all the persons staying in the unit at

the time of the census have their usual place of residence

elsewhere, the unit is classified as vacant. A household

includes all the persons who occupy a housing unit as their

usual place of residence. By definition, the count of

occupied housing units for 100-percent tabulations is the

same as the count of households or householders.

Vacant Housing Units—A housing unit is vacant if no one

is living in it at the time of enumeration, unless its occupants are only temporarily absent. Units temporarily occupied at the time of enumeration entirely by persons who

have a usual residence elsewhere are also classified as

vacant. (For more information, see discussion under ‘‘Usual

Home Elsewhere.’’)

New units not yet occupied are classified as vacant

housing units if construction has reached a point where all

exterior windows and doors are installed and final usable

floors are in place. Vacant units are excluded if they are

open to the elements; that is, the roof, walls, windows,

and/ or doors no longer protect the interior from the

elements, or if there is positive evidence (such as a sign on

the house or in the block) that the unit is condemned or is

to be demolished. Also excluded are quarters being used

entirely for nonresidential purposes, such as a store or an

office, or quarters used for the storage of business supplies or inventory, machinery, or agricultural products.

Hotels, Motels, Rooming Houses, Etc.—Occupied rooms

or suites of rooms in hotels, motels, and similar places are

 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 2 SESS: 4 OUTPUT: Tue Nov 17 09:47:56 1992 / node2/ F main F / 90dec/ cph2/ usst/ appb

classified as housing units only when occupied by permanent residents; that is, persons who consider the hotel as

their usual place of residence or have no usual place of

residence elsewhere. Vacant rooms or suites of rooms are

classified as housing units only in those hotels, motels, and

similar places in which 75 percent or more of the accommodations are occupied by permanent residents.

If any of the occupants in a rooming or boarding house

live and eat separately from others in the building and have

direct access, their quarters are classified as separate

housing units.

Staff Living Quarters—The living quarters occupied by

staff personnel within any group quarters are separate

housing units if they satisfy the housing unit criteria of

separateness and direct access; otherwise, they are considered group quarters.

Comparability—The first Census of Housing in 1940

established the ‘‘dwelling unit’’ concept. Although the term

became ‘‘housing unit’’ and the definition has been modified slightly in succeeding censuses, the 1990 definition is

essentially comparable to previous censuses. There was

no change in the housing unit definition between 1980 and

1990.

DERIVED MEASURES

This report includes various derived measures such as

percentages, as well as certain rates and ratios. Derived

measures which round to less than 0.1 are not shown but

indicated as zero. In printed reports, zero is indicated by

showing a dash (–).

Percentages, Rates, and Ratios

These measures are frequently presented in census

products and are used to compare two numbers or two

sets of measurements. These comparisons are made in

two ways: (1) subtraction which provides an absolute

measure of the difference between two items and (2) the

quotient of two numbers which provides a relative measure

of difference.

Accuracy of the Data

CONTENTS

Confidentiality of the Data --------------------------------- C–1

Editing of Unacceptable Data ------------------------------ C–1

Sources of Error ------------------------------------------ C–1

CONFIDENTIALITY OF THE DATA

To maintain confidentiality required by law (Title 13,

United States Code), the Bureau of the Census applies a

confidentiality edit to assure published data do not disclose information about specific individuals, households,

and housing units. The result is that a small amount of

uncertainty is introduced into some of the census characteristics to prevent identification of specific individuals,

households, or housing units. The edit is controlled so that

the counts of total persons, totals by race and American

Indian tribe, Hispanic origin, and age 18 years and over are

not affected by the confidentiality edit and are published as

collected. In addition, total counts for housing units by

tenure are not affected by this edit.

The confidentiality edit is conducted by selecting a

sample of census households from the 100-percent data

internal census files and interchanging its data with other

households that have identical characteristics on a set of

selected key variables but are in different geographic

locations within the same State. To provide more protection for ‘‘small areas,’’ a higher sampling rate was used for

these areas. The net result of this procedure is that the

data user’s ability to obtain census data, particularly for

small areas and subpopulation groups, has been significantly enhanced.

EDITING OF UNACCEPTABLE DATA

The objective of the processing operation is to produce

a set of data that describes the population as accurately

and clearly as possible. To meet this objective, questionnaires were edited during field data collection operations

for consistency, completeness, and acceptability. Questionnaires were also reviewed by census clerks for omissions, certain inconsistencies, and population coverage.

For example, write-in entries such as ‘‘Don’t know’’ or

‘‘NA’’ were considered unacceptable. For some district

offices, the initial edit was automated; however, for the

majority of the district offices, it was performed by clerks.

As a result of this operation, a telephone or personal visit

followup was made to obtain missing information. Potential

coverage errors were included in the followup, as well as a

sample of questionnaires with omissions or inconsistencies.

Subsequent to field operations, remaining incomplete or

inconsistent information on the questionnaires was assigned

using imputation procedures during the final automated

edit of the collected data. Allocations, or computer assignments of acceptable codes in place of unacceptable

entries or blanks, are needed most often when an entry for

a given item is lacking or when the information reported for

a person or housing unit on that item is inconsistent with

other information for that same person or housing unit. As

in previous censuses, the general procedure for changing

unacceptable entries was to assign an entry for a person

or housing unit that was consistent with entries for persons

or housing units with similar characteristics. The assignment of acceptable codes in place of blanks or unacceptable entries enhances the usefulness of the data.

Another way in which corrections were made during the

computer editing process was through substitution; that is,

the assignment of a full set of characteristics for a person

or housing unit. When there was an indication that a

housing unit was occupied, but the questionnaire contained no information for the people within the household,

or the occupants were not listed on the questionnaire, a

previously accepted household was selected as a substitute, and the full set of characteristics for the substitute

was duplicated. The assignment of the full set of housing

characteristics occurred when there was no housing information available. If the housing unit was determined to be

occupied, the housing characteristics were assigned from

a previously processed occupied unit. If the housing unit

was vacant, the housing characteristics were assigned

from a previously processed vacant unit.

SOURCES OF ERROR

In any large-scale statistical operation, such as the 1990

decennial census, human- and machine-related errors

occur. These errors are commonly referred to as nonsampling errors. Such errors include not enumerating every

household or every person in the population, not obtaining

all required information from the respondents, obtaining

incorrect or inconsistent information, and recording information incorrectly. In addition, errors can occur during the

field review of the enumerators’ work, during clerical

handling of the census questionnaires, or during the electronic processing of the questionnaires.

To reduce various types of nonsampling errors, a number of techniques were implemented during the planning,

development of the mailing address list, data collection,

and data processing activities. Quality assurance methods

were used throughout the data collection and processing

phases of the census to improve the quality of the data. A

reinterview program was designed to minimize the errors in

the data collection phase for enumerator-filled questionnaires.

Several coverage improvement programs were implemented during the development of the census address list

and census enumeration and processing to minimize undercoverage of the population and housing units. These

programs were developed based on experience from the

1980 decennial census and results from the 1990 decennial census testing cycle. In developing and updating the

census address list, the Census Bureau used a variety of

specialized procedures in different parts of the country.

• For larger urban areas, the Census Bureau purchased

and coded address lists, had the United States Postal

Service (USPS) review and update this list, and conducted a dependent canvass and update operation.

Prior to mailout, local officials were given the opportunity

to examine block counts of address listings (local review)

and identify possible errors, and the USPS conducted a

final review.

• For small cities and suburban and selected rural parts of

the country, the Census Bureau created the address list

through a listing operation that occurred in 1988 and

1989. For the addresses listed in 1988, the USPS

reviewed and updated this list, and the Census Bureau

reconciled USPS corrections through a field check; prior

to mailout, the USPS conducted a final review of these

addresses, and local officials participated in reviewing

block counts of address listings.

Coverage improvement programs continued during and

after mailout. The Census Bureau (rather than the USPS)

delivered census questionnaires in the rural and seasonal

housing areas listed in 1989 and in inner-city public

housing developments. Computer and clerical edits and

telephone and personal visit followups contributed to

improved coverage.

Enumeration and Residence Rules ------------------------- D–1

Processing Procedures ------------------------------------ D–4

ENUMERATION AND RESIDENCE RULES

In accordance with census practice dating back to the

first United States census in 1790, each person was to be

enumerated as an inhabitant of his or her ‘‘usual residence’’ in the 1990 census. Usual residence is the place

where the person lives and sleeps most of the time or

considers to be his or her usual residence. This place is not

necessarily the same as the person’s legal residence or

voting residence. In the vast majority of cases, however,

the use of these different bases of classification would

produce substantially the same statistics, although there

might be appreciable differences for a few areas.

The implementation of this practice has resulted in the

establishment of rules for certain categories of persons

whose usual place of residence is not immediately apparent. Furthermore, this practice means that persons were

not always counted as residents of the place where they

happened to be staying on Census Day (April 1, 1990).

Enumeration Rules

Each person whose usual residence was in the United

States was to be included in the census, without regard to

the person’s legal status or citizenship. In a departure from

earlier censuses, foreign diplomatic personnel participated

voluntarily in the census, regardless of their residence on

or off the premises of an embassy. As in previous censuses, persons in the United States specifically excluded

from the census were foreign travelers who had not

established a residence.

Americans with a usual residence outside the United

States were not enumerated in the 1990 census. United

States military and Federal civilian employees, and their

dependents overseas, are included in the population counts

for States for purposes of Congressional apportionment,

but are excluded from all other tabulations for States and

their subdivisions. The counts of United States military and

Federal civilian employees, and their dependents, were

obtained from administrative records maintained by Federal departments and agencies. Other Americans living

overseas, such as employees of international agencies

and private businesses and students, were not enumerated, nor were their counts obtained from administrative

sources. On the other hand, Americans temporarily overseas were to be enumerated at their usual residence in the

United States.

Residence Rules

Each person included in the census was to be counted

at his or her usual residence—the place where he or she

lives and sleeps most of the time or the place where the

person considers to be his or her usual home. If a person

had no usual residence, the person was to be counted

where he or she was staying on April 1, 1990.

Persons temporarily away from their usual residence,

whether in the United States or overseas, on a vacation or

on a business trip, were counted at their usual residence.

Persons who occupied more than one residence during the

year were counted at the one they considered to be their

usual residence. Persons who moved on or near Census

Day were counted at the place they considered to be their

usual residence.

Persons in the Armed Forces—Members of the Armed

Forces were counted as residents of the area in which the

installation was located, either on the installation or in the

surrounding community. Family members of Armed Forces

personnel were counted where they were living on Census

Day (for example, with the Armed Forces person or at

another location).

Each Navy ship not deployed to the 6th or 7th Fleet was

attributed to the municipality that the Department of the

Navy designated as its homeport. If the homeport included

more than one municipality, ships berthed there on Census

Day were assigned by the Bureau of the Census to the

municipality in which the land immediately adjacent to the

dock or pier was actually located. Ships attributed to the

homeport, but not physically present and not deployed to

the 6th or 7th Fleet, were assigned to the municipality

named on the Department of the Navy’s homeport list.

These rules also apply to Coast Guard vessels.

Personnel assigned to each Navy and Coast Guard ship

were given the opportunity to report a residence off the

ship. Those who did report an off-ship residence in the

communities surrounding the homeport were counted there;

those who did not were counted as residents of the ship.

Personnel on Navy ships deployed to the 6th or 7th Fleet

on Census Day were considered to be part of the overseas

population.

Persons on Maritime Ships—Persons aboard maritime

ships who reported an off-ship residence were counted at

that residence. Those who did not were counted as

residents of the ship, and were attributed as follows:

1. The port where the ship was docked on Census Day,

if that port was in the United States or its territories.

2. The port of departure if the ship was at sea, provided

the port was in the United States or its territories.

3. The port of destination in the United States or its

territories, if the port of departure of a ship at sea was

a foreign port.

4. The overseas population if the ship was docked at a

foreign port or at sea between foreign ports. (These

persons were not included in the overseas population

for apportionment purposes.)

Persons Away at School—College students were counted

as residents of the area in which they were living while

attending college, as they have been since the 1950

census. Children in boarding schools below the college

level were counted at their parental home.

Persons in Institutions—Persons under formally authorized, supervised care or custody, such as in Federal or

State prisons; local jails; Federal detention centers; juvenile institutions; nursing, convalescent, and rest homes for

the aged and dependent; or homes, schools, hospitals, or

wards for the physically handicapped, mentally retarded,

or mentally ill, were counted at these places.

Persons Away From Their Usual Residence on Census

Day—Migrant agricultural workers who did not report a

usual residence elsewhere were counted as residents of

the place where they were on Census Day. Persons in

worker camps who did not report a usual residence

elsewhere were counted as residents of the camp where

they were on Census Day.

In some parts of the country, natural disasters displaced

significant numbers of households from their usual place of

residence. If these persons reported a destroyed or damaged residence as their usual residence, they were counted

at that location.

Persons away from their usual residence were counted

by means of interviews with other members of their

families, resident managers, or neighbors.

DATA COLLECTION PROCEDURES

The 1990 census was conducted primarily through

self-enumeration. The questionnaire packet included general information about the 1990 census and an instruction

guide explaining how to complete the questionnaire. Spanishlanguage questionnaires and instruction guides were available on request. Instruction guides also were available in

32 other languages.

Enumeration of Housing Units

Each housing unit in the country received one of two

versions of the census questionnaire:

1. A short-form questionnaire that contained a limited

number of basic population and housing questions;

these questions were asked of all persons and housing units and are often referred to as 100-percent

questions.

2. A long-form questionnaire that contained the 100-

percent items and a number of additional questions; a

sampling procedure was used to determine those

housing units that were to receive the long-form

questionnaire.

Three sampling rates were employed. For slightly more

than one-half of the country, one in every six housing units

(about 17 percent) received the long-form or sample

questionnaire. In functioning local governmental units (counties and incorporated places, and in some parts of the

country, towns and townships) estimated to have fewer

than 2,500 inhabitants, every other housing unit (50 percent) received the sample questionnaire in order to enhance

the reliability of the sample data for these small areas. For

census tracts and block numbering areas having more

than 2,000 housing units in the Census Bureau’s address

files, one in every eight housing units (about 13 percent)

received a sample questionnaire, providing reliable statistics for these areas while permitting the Census Bureau to

stay within a limit of 17.7 million sample questionnaires, or

a one-in-six sample, nationwide.

The mail-out/ mail-back procedure was used mainly in

cities, suburban areas, towns, and rural areas where

mailing addresses consisted of a house number and street

name. In these areas, the Census Bureau developed

mailing lists that included about 88.4 million addresses.

The questionnaires were delivered through the mail and

respondents were to return them by mail. Census questionnaires were delivered 1 week before Census Day

(April 1, 1990)

The update/ leave/ mail-back method was used mainly

in densely populated rural areas where it was difficult to

develop mailing lists because mailing addresses did not

use house number and street name. The Census Bureau

compiled lists of housing units in advance of the census.

Enumerators delivered the questionnaires, asked respondents to return them by mail, and added housing units not

on the mailing lists. This method was used mainly in the

South and Midwest, and also included some high-rise,

low-income urban areas. A variation of this method was

used in urban areas having large numbers of boarded-up

buildings. About 11 million housing units were enumerated

using this method.

The list/ enumerate method (formerly called conventional or door-to-door enumeration) was used mainly in

very remote and sparsely-settled areas. The United States

Postal Service delivered unaddressed short-form questionnaires before Census Day. Starting a week before Census

Day, enumerators canvassed these areas, checked that all

housing units received a questionnaire, created a list of all

housing units, completed long-form questionnaires, and

picked up the completed short-form questionnaires. This

method was used mainly in the West and Northeast to

enumerate an estimated 6.5 million housing units.

Followup

Nonresponse Followup—In areas where respondents

were to mail back their questionnaires, an enumerator

visited each address from which a questionnaire was not

received.

Coverage and Edit-Failure Followup—In the mail-back

areas, some households returned a questionnaire that did

not meet specific quality standards because of incomplete

or inconsistent information, or the respondent had indicated difficulty in deciding who was to be listed on the

questionnaire. These households were contacted by telephone or by personal visit to obtain the missing information

or to clarify who was to be enumerated in the household. In

areas where an enumerator picked up the questionnaires,

the enumerator checked the respondent-filled questionnaire for completeness and consistency.

Special Enumeration Procedures

Special procedures and questionnaires were used for

the enumeration of persons in group quarters, such as

college dormitories, nursing homes, prisons, military barracks, and ships. The questionnaires (Individual Census

Reports, Military Census Reports, and Shipboard Census

Reports) included the 100-percent population questions

but did not include any housing questions. In all group

quarters, all persons were asked the basic population

questions; in most group quarters, additional questions

were asked of a sample (one-in-six) of persons.

Shelter and Street Night (S-Night)

The Census Bureau collected data for various components of the homeless population at different stages in the

1990 census. ‘‘Shelter and Street Night’’ (S-Night) was a

special census operation to count the population in four

types of locations where homeless people are found. On

the evening of March 20, 1990, and during the early

morning hours of March 21, 1990, enumerators counted

persons in pre-identified locations:

1. Emergency shelters for the homeless population (public and private; permanent and temporary).

2. Shelters with temporary lodging for runaway youths.

3. Shelters for abused women and their children.

4. Open locations in streets or other places not intended

for habitation.

Emergency shelters include all hotels and motels costing $12 or less (excluding taxes) per night regardless of

whether persons living there considered themselves to be

homeless, hotels and motels (regardless of cost) used

entirely to shelter homeless persons, and pre-identified

rooms in hotels and motels used for homeless persons

and families. Enumeration in shelters usually occurred

from 6 p.m. to midnight; street enumeration, from 2 a.m. to

4 a.m.; abandoned and boarded-up buildings from 4 a.m. to

8 a.m.; and shelters for abused women, from 6 p.m. on

March 20 to noon on March 21.

Other components, which some consider as part of the

homeless population, were enumerated as part of regular

census operations. These include persons doubled up with

other families, as well as persons with no other usual home

living in transient sites, such as commercial campgrounds,

maternity homes for unwed mothers, and drug/ alcohol

abuse detoxification centers. In institutions, such as local

jails and mental hospitals, the Census Bureau does not

know who has a usual home elsewhere; therefore, even

though some are literally homeless, these persons cannot

be identified separately as a component of the homeless

population.

There is no generally agreed-upon definition of ‘‘the

homeless,’’ and there are limitations in the census count

that prevent obtaining a total count of the homeless

population under any definition. As such, the Census

Bureau does not have a definition and will not provide a

total count of ‘‘the homeless.’’ Rather, the Census Bureau

will provide counts and characteristics of persons found at

the time of the census in selected types of living arrangements. These selected components can be used as building blocks to construct a count of homeless persons

appropriate to particular purposes as long as the data

limitations are taken into account.

In preparation for ‘‘Shelter-and-Street-Night’’ enumeration, the regional census centers (RCC’s) mailed a certified

letter (Form D-33 (L)) to the highest elected official of each

active functioning government of the United States (more

than 39,000) requesting them to identify:

1. All shelters with sleeping facilities (permanent and

temporary, such as church basements, armories,

public buildings, and so forth, that could be open on

March 20).

2. Hotels and motels used to house homeless persons

and families.

3. A list of outdoor locations where homeless persons

tend to be at night.

4. Places such as bus or train stations, subway stations,

airports, hospital emergency rooms, and so forth,

where homeless persons seek shelter at night.

COLLECTION AND PROCESSING PROCEDURES D–3
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 4 SESS: 25 OUTPUT: Mon Sep 21 14:34:30 1992 / node2/ F main F / 90dec/ all/ usst/ appd

5. The specific addresses of abandoned or boarded-up

buildings where homeless persons were thought to

stay at night.

The letter from the RCC’s to the governmental units

emphasized the importance of listing night-time congregating sites. The list of shelters was expanded using information from administrative records and informed local sources.

The street sites were limited to the list provided by the

jurisdictions. All governmental units were eligible for ‘‘Shelter and Street Night.’’ For cities with 50,000 or more

persons, the Census Bureau took additional steps to

update the list of shelter and street locations if the local

jurisdiction did not respond to the certified letter. Smaller

cities and rural areas participated if the local jurisdiction

provided the Census Bureau a list of shelters or open

public places to visit or if shelters were identified through

our inventory development, local knowledge update, or

during the Special Place Prelist operation.

The Census Bureau encouraged persons familiar with

homeless persons and the homeless themselves to apply

as enumerators. This recruiting effort was particularly

successful in larger cities.

For shelters, both long- and short-form Individual Census Reports (ICR’s) were distributed. For street enumeration, only short-form ICR’s were used. Persons in shelters

and at street locations were asked the basic population

questions. Additional questions about social and economic

characteristics were asked of a sample of persons in

shelters only.

Enumerators were instructed not to ask who was homeless; rather, they were told to count all persons (including

children) staying overnight at the shelters, and everyone

they saw on the street except the police, other persons in

uniform, and persons engaged in employment or obvious

money-making activities other than begging and panhandling.

At both shelter and street sites, persons found sleeping

were not awakened to answer questions. Rather, the

enumerator answered the sex and race questions by

observation and estimated the person’s age to the best of

his or her ability. In shelters, administrative records and

information from the shelter operator were used, when

available, for persons who were already asleep.

Less than 1 percent of shelters refused to participate in

the census count at first. By the end of the census period,

most of those eventually cooperated and the number of

refusals had been reduced to a few. For the final refusals,

head counts and population characteristics were obtained

by enumerators standing outside such shelters and counting people as they left in the morning.

The ‘‘street’’ count was restricted to persons who were

visible when the enumerator came to the open, public

locations that had been identified by local jurisdictions.

Homeless persons who were well hidden, moving about, or

in locations other than those identified by the local governments were likely missed. The number missed will

never be known and there is no basis to make an estimate

of the number missed from census data. The count of

persons in open, public places was affected by many

factors, including the extra efforts made to encourage

people to go to shelters for ‘‘Shelter and Street Night,’’ the

weather (which was unusually cold in many parts of the

country), the presence of the media, and distrust of the

census. Expectations of the number of homeless persons

on the street cannot be based on the number seen during

the day because the night-time situation is normally very

different as more homeless persons are in shelters or very

well hidden.

For both ‘‘Shelter-and-Street-Night’’ locations, the Census Bureau assumed that the usual home of those enumerated was in the block where they were found (shelter

or street).

The ‘‘Shelter-and-Street-Night’’ operation replaced and

expanded the 1980 Mission Night (M-Night) and Casual

Count operations. These two operations were aimed at

counting the population who reported having no usual

residence. M-Night was conducted a week after Census

Day, in April 1980. Enumerators visited hotels, motels, and

similar places costing $4 or less each night; missions,

flophouses, local jails and similar places at which the

average length of stay was 30 days or less; and nonshelter

locations, such as bus depots, train stations, and all night

movie theaters. Questions were asked of everyone, regardless of age. Enumerators conducted M-Night up to midnight on April 8, 1980, and returned the next morning to

collect any forms completed after midnight.

The Casual Count operation was conducted in May

1980 at additional nonshelter locations, such as street

corners, pool halls, welfare and employment offices. This

operation lasted for approximately 2 weeks. Casual Count

was conducted during the day only in selected large

central cities. Only persons who appeared to be at least 15

years of age were asked if they had been previously

enumerated. Casual Count was actually a coverage-improvement operation. It was not specifically an operation to

count homeless persons living in the streets. Persons were

excluded if they said they had a usual home outside the

city because it was not cost effective to check through

individual questionnaires in another city to try to find the

person.

PROCESSING PROCEDURES

Respondents returned many census questionnaires by

mail to 1 of over 344 census district offices or to one of six

processing offices. In these offices, the questionnaires

were ‘‘checked in’’ and edited for completeness and

consistency of the responses. After this initial processing

had been performed, all questionnaires were sent to the

processing offices.

In the processing offices, the household questionnaires

were microfilmed and processed by the Film Optical

Sensing Device for Input to Computers (FOSDIC). For

most items on the questionnaire, the information supplied

by the respondent was indicated by filling circles in predesignated positions. FOSDIC electronically ‘‘read’’ these

filled circles from the microfilm copy of the questionnaire

and transferred the information to computer tape. The

computer tape did not include individual names, addresses,

or handwritten responses.

The data processing was performed in several stages.

All questionnaires were microfilmed, ‘‘read’’ by FOSDIC,

and transferred to computer disk. Selected written entries

in the race question on both the short and long forms were

keyed from the microfilm and coded using the data base

developed from the 1980 census and subsequent content

and operational tests. Keying of other written entries on

the long forms occurred in the seven processing offices.

The information (for example, income dollar amounts or

homeowner shelter costs) on these keyed files was merged

with the FOSDIC data or processed further through one of

three automated coding programs. The codes for industry,

occupation, place-of-birth, migration, place-of-work, ancestry, language, relationship, race, and Hispanic origin were

merged with the FOSDIC data for editing, weighting, and

tabulating operations at Census Bureau headquarters. All

responses to the questions on Individual Census Reports

(ICR’s), Military Census Reports (MCR’s), and Shipboard

Census Reports (SCR’s) were keyed, not processed by

microfilm or FOSDIC.

The 1990 census data products, being released during

1991-93, are available in a variety of new and traditional

media. The Census Bureau has increased the product

options available to data users in an effort to meet a variety

of requirements and maximize the usefulness of the data.

For example,laser discs,called CD-ROM (compact disc—readonly memory), are a new data delivery medium.

The Census Bureau also has expanded services and

sources of assistance available to data users. For example, the State Data Center Program has been expanded to

include over 1,400 organizations to provide data and

services to the public.

This appendix provides a detailed introduction to the

1990 census data products and related materials, such as

maps and reference publications. It concludes by describing sources of assistance and other Census Bureau data

available to the public.

DATA PRODUCTS

Printed reports and computer tape files traditionally are

the most widely used products. The Census Bureau also

offers data on microfiche, on CD-ROM laser discs, and

through its online service, CENDATATM. These various

products are described below. For information about prices

and how to order, write or call Customer Services. (See the

‘‘Sources of Assistance’’ section for the address and

phone number.)

The data products present statistics about the subjects

covered in the 1990 census questionnaires. These subjects are listed in figure 1, page F–7. As the figure shows,

there are 100-percent subjects (those covered in questions asked of everyone or about every housing unit) and

sample subjects (those covered in questions asked at

about one out of every six housing units). Generally, a data

product presents either 100-percent data prepared by

tabulating the responses to the 100-percent questions

from all questionnaires, or sample data prepared by tabulating only the responses to the 100-percent and sample

questions from the ‘‘long-form’’ questionnaires. Two report

series, 1990 CPH-3 and 1990 CPH-4 (see figure 2, page

F–8), present both 100-percent and sample data.

Printed Reports

Printed reports are the most convenient and readily

available source of data for most census users. The

Census Bureau releases the reports in several series (see

figure 2) that are grouped under three broad titles: 1990

Census of Population and Housing (1990 CPH), 1990

Census of Population (1990 CP), and 1990 Census of

Housing (1990 CH). There also are reports, not reflected in

figure 2, for the outlying areas of the Pacific. The reports

are sold by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office. (See the ‘‘Sources of Assistance’’

section for the address and phone number.)

In several series, there are separate reports for each

State. The geographic coverage of the State reports is

listed in figure 2. The United States summaries for these

report series contain, for the most part, data for the United

States, regions, divisions, States, metropolitan areas (MA’s),

urbanized areas (UA’s), counties, American Indian and

Alaska Native areas, places with 10,000 or more persons,

and other large substate areas (for example, county subdivisions, such as towns and townships, with 10,000 or

more persons in selected States).

Report series that present data for small areas, such as

census tracts, contain limited subject-matter detail (for

example, counts of people by age ranges—under 5 years,

5 to 9 years, etc.—rather than by single years). Report

series that include greater amounts of subject-matter detail

include less geographic detail.

Computer Tape Files

The Census Bureau provides more data on tape and

other machine-readable products than in printed reports.

These products are sold by the Census Bureau’s Customer Services. There are several general types of data

files released on computer tape (available on both reels

and cartridges). They are introduced below, and more

information is presented in figures 3 and 4, pages F–11

through F–13.

Public Law 94-171 Data—This data file presents the

counts designed and formatted for use in legislative redistricting. These counts also are available on CD-ROM

and paper listings. Excerpts are available on

CENDATATM. The counts, for areas as small as blocks,

census tracts, and voting districts, include totals for population, race groups, persons of Hispanic origin, population

18 years and over, and housing units. (See figure 4.)

DATA PRODUCTS AND USER ASSISTANCE F–1
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 2 SESS: 92 OUTPUT: Mon Sep 21 14:36:05 1992 / node2/ F main F / 90dec/ all/ usst/ appf

Summary Tape Files (STF’s)— These computer tape files

provide statistics with greater subject-matter detail than

printed reports. They also present statistics for some types

of areas, such as block groups and blocks, that are not

included in the reports. (See figure 3.)

Here are some important features of STF’s:

• Each STF presents a particular set of data tables for

specific types of geographic areas.

• Each STF has three or more file types (indicated by a

letter suffix attached to the STF number) that differ in the

geographic levels reported, but contain the same data

detail.

• STF’s 1 and 2 contain 100-percent data, and STF’s 3

and 4 offer sample data.

• STF’s 1 and 3 report on smaller areas and offer less

data detail than STF’s 2 and 4.

• STF’s 1 through 4 offer greater data detail than the 1980

STF’s 1 through 4.

Subject Summary Tape Files (SSTF’s)—These files are

the source of the subject reports and provide greater

subject-matter detail than the STF’s. They present data for

the United States, regions, and divisions, and, in some

cases, also for States, counties, and large cities. (See

figure 4.)

Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) Files—These

computer tape files (see figure 4) contain data from

samples of long-form housing-unit records (‘‘microdata’’) for large geographic areas. Each sample housingunit record includes essentially all the 1990 census data

collected about each person in a sample household and

the characteristics of the housing unit. Information that

could be used to identify an individual or a housing unit is

not included in the file.

Microdata files enable users to prepare customized

tabulations and cross-tabulations of most items on the

census questionnaire. There are two PUMS files:

• A file presenting a 5-percent sample of housing units in

which each household record includes codes to let the

user know in what area, such as a group of counties, a

single county, or a place, the household is located. Each

area identified must have a population of at least 100,000

and boundaries that do not cross State lines.

• A file presenting a 1-percent sample of housing units. Its

household records include codes associating them with

MA’s and other large areas, the boundaries of which

may cross State lines. (For the 1980 census, there were

two files with 1-percent samples. The 1-percent sample

showing data for selected urbanized areas and other

large areas will not be produced for the 1990 census.)

Other Special Computer Tape Files—Other files include

the Census/ Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Special

File and the County-to-County Migration File. (See figure

4.) The Census Bureau may prepare additional special

files.

Microfiche

Block statistics are available on microfiche as they were

for the 1980 census. The microfiche present, in table

format, a subset of the tabulations for census blocks found

in STF 1B (see figure 3). In the 1990 census, for the first

time, the entire land area of the Nation and its possessions

was block-numbered. This increased the number of blocks

for which the Census Bureau provides data from 2.5 million

in 1980 to 7 million for 1990. The cost and storage of block

data of this magnitude would be prohibitive if the data were

published in printed reports.

STF’s 1A and 3A are available on microfiche, as well. As

noted in figure 3, they provide data for a variety of

geographic areas. Also, all printed reports are offered on

microfiche from Customer Services soon after they are

published.

Compact Disc—Read-Only Memory (CD-ROM)

For the 1990 census, the Public Law (P.L.) 94-171 file;

an extract of STF 1B that presents selected statistics for

blocks; and STF’s 1A, 1C, 3A, 3B, and 3C are also

available on CD-ROM. (One 4 3/ 4-inch CD-ROM, a type of

optical or laser disc, can hold the contents of approximately 1,600 flexible diskettes, or three or four highdensity computer tapes.)

Online Information Systems

The Census Bureau began CENDATATM, its online

information service, in 1984. CENDATATM is accessible

through two information vendors, CompuServe and

DIALOG. A number of Census Bureau reports, in whole

or in part, are offered online. For the 1990 census,

CENDATATM provides up-to-date information about the

availability of data products and carries selections of State,

county, MA, and place data from the P.L. 94-171 tape file

and STF’s 1 and 3.

Custom Data Products

These products are for users who require unique tabulations that are not included in standard products; for

example, information for locally defined geographic areas.

Users also can order special microdata files.

The cost of preparing custom products must be paid by

the users who request them. Any data that the Census

Bureau provides in these products are subject to the same

standards applied to other data to ensure that confidential

individual information is not revealed.

User-Defined Areas Program (UDAP) Tabulations—

UDAP can provide a set of predefined data tables for

locally defined areas that do not correspond to standard

1990 census geographic areas. Users identify the geographic areas of interest to them by delineating boundaries

around groupings of census blocks on 1990 census County

Block Maps or by electronically submitting the geographic

components of their area of interest. (A contact for more

information is given in the ‘‘Sources of Assistance’’ section.)

Special Tabulations—The Census Bureau can prepare

special data tabulations for any specific geographic or

subject-matter area. Users should rely on standard reports,

tapes, microfiche, or user-defined area tabulations whenever possible, since special tabulations tend to be substantially more expensive and take time to arrange and produce. (Contacts for more information are given in the

‘‘Sources of Assistance’’ section.)

GEOGRAPHIC PRODUCTS

Maps

Census Bureau maps are necessary for virtually all uses

of small-area 1990 census data. They are needed to locate

the specific geographic areas for which the census provides data and to study the spatial relationship of the data

for analytic purposes. The Census Bureau prepares a

variety of 1990 census maps. Among the most useful are

these four series:

County Block Maps—These maps show census blocks

and their numbers; boundaries for statistical and governmental entities, such as census tracts and places; and

physical features. The P.L. 94-171 version of these maps

also shows voting district boundaries in those States that

furnished them. The maps are prepared on electrostatic

plotters by county (or equivalent entity) with one or more

map sheets each, depending on the size and shape of the

area and the density of the block pattern. An average

county requires 20 map sheets. The maps may be purchased from Customer Services.

County Subdivision Outline Maps—Maps in this Statebased series present the boundaries of the counties,

county subdivisions, places, American Indian and Alaska

Native areas (including off-reservation trust lands), tribal

designated statistical areas, and tribal jurisdiction statistical areas. Electrostatic-plotter copies are available for

purchase from Customer Services. Also, they appear on

multiple page-size sheets in the State reports of these

series: 1990 CPH-1, 1990 CPH-2, 1990 CPH-5, 1990 CP-1,

1990 CP-2, 1990 CH-1, and 1990 CH-2.

Census Tract/ Block Numbering Area (BNA) Outline

Maps—Maps in this county-based series depict census

tract or BNA boundaries and numbers, and the features

underlying the boundaries. They also show governmental

units in relation to the census tracts/ BNA’s. Customer

Services sells electrostatic-plotter copies, and the Superintendent of Documents sells printed copies.

Voting District Outline Maps—Maps in this county-based

series depict voting district boundaries (for those counties

for which States furnished boundary information) and the

features underlying the boundaries. They also show governmental unit boundaries in relation to the voting districts.

They are prepared on electrostatic plotters and sold by

Customer Services.

Geographic Publications

The Geographic Identification Code Scheme report in

the 1990 CPH-R series shows the 1990 census geographic area codes and Federal information processing

standards (FIPS) codes, as appropriate, for States, metropolitan areas, counties, county subdivisions, places, American Indian and Alaska Native areas, and other entities,

along with some descriptive information about the codes.

The code scheme also is offered on computer tape.

Machine-Readable Geographic Files

All 1990 census summary tape files include 1990 census geographic area codes, FIPS codes, certain area

names, land and inland water area in square kilometers,

geographic coordinates for an internal point for each

entity, and other geographic information.

The Census Bureau developed an automated geographic data base, known as the TIGER (Topologically

Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing) System, to produce the geographic products for the 1990

census. TIGER provides coordinate-based digital map

information for the entire United States, Puerto Rico, the

U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Pacific territories over which

the United States has jurisdiction.

The TIGER System has significantly improved the utility

of 1990 census maps and geographic reference products.

Extract files generated from the TIGER System permit

users, with appropriate software, to perform such tasks as

linking the statistical data in the P.L. 94-171 file or the

STF’s and displaying selected characteristics on maps or a

video display screen at different scales and with whatever

boundaries they select for any geographic area of the

country. For example, a map for a particular county could

show the distribution of the voting age population by city

block.

The first extract of selected geographic and cartographic information intended for computer applications,

such as plotting maps and building geographic information

systems, is called the TIGER/ LineTM files. TIGER/ LineTM

files contain attributes for the segments of each boundary

and feature (for example, roads, railroads, and rivers),

including 1990 census geographic codes for adjacent

areas, latitude/ longitude coordinates of segment end points

and the curvature of segments, the name and type of the

feature, and the relevant census feature class code identifying the feature segment by category. TIGER/ LineTM

files also furnish address ranges and associated ZIP

areas; provide the names of landmarks, such as lakes and

golf courses; and include other information.

TIGER/ LineTM files and other TIGER System extracts,

such as TIGER/ BoundaryTM and TIGER/ DataBaseTM, are

released on computer tape and, in some cases, CD-ROM.

For information on TIGER extract files, contact Customer

Services.

Other Sources of Products and Services

State Data Centers—The Census Bureau furnishes data

products, training in data access and use, technical assistance, and consultation to all States, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. State

Data Centers, in turn, offer publications for reference,

printouts from computer tape, specially prepared reports,

maps, and other products and assistance to data users.

For a list of the State Data Centers, see the Census

Catalog and Guide or contact Customer Services. The list

also notes organizations in States participating in the

Census Bureau’s Business/ Industry Data Center (BIDC)

Program. The BIDC’s help business people, economic

development planners, and other data users obtain and

use data.

National Services Program—The National Services Program (NSP) provides data-related services for nationally

based nonprofit organizations that represent minorities or

other segments of the population who have been historically undercounted in decennial censuses. The participants include social service, business, professional, civil

rights, educational, and religious groups. Through a pilot

project, the National Services Information Center (NSIC)

Initiative, three of these nonprofit groups now offer their

clientele reports, computer tape printouts, and other information from the Census Bureau. To learn more about the

NSP and the NSIC, write to the National Services Program,

Data User Services Division, Bureau of the Census, Washington, DC 20233, or call 301-763-1384.

National Clearinghouse—The National Clearinghouse for

Census Data Services is a listing of private companies and

other organizations that offer assistance in obtaining and

using data released by the Census Bureau. For a list of

participants in the National Clearinghouse, see the Census

Catalog and Guide or contact Customer Services.

Depository Libraries—There are 1,400 libraries that receive

(from the Government Printing Office) Federal publications

that they think their patrons will need. Often some of these

publications are Census Bureau reports. The Census Bureau

provides free reports to an additional 120 census depository libraries. Also, many libraries purchase census reports

and maps for their areas. The Census Catalog and Guide

includes a list of all depository libraries.

OTHER CENSUS BUREAU RESOURCES

The Census Bureau has more to offer than just the

results of the census of population and housing. Through

other censuses, surveys, and estimates programs, it compiles and issues (in reports, computer tape, and other

media) data on subjects as diverse as appliance sales,

neighborhood conditions, and exports to other countries.

Here are examples of the information published about—

• People: Age, race, sex, income, poverty, child care,

child support, fertility, noncash benefits, education, commuting habits, pension coverage, unemployment, ancestry.

• Business and industry: Number of employees, total payroll, sales and receipts, products manufactured or sold.

• Housing and construction: Value of new construction,

numbers of owners and renters, property value or rent

paid, housing starts, fuels used, mortgage costs.

• Farms: Number, acreage, livestock, crop sales.

• Governments: Revenues and expenditures, taxes, employment, pension funds.

• Foreign trade: Exports and imports, origin and destination, units shipped.

• Other nations: Population, birth rates, death rates, literacy, fertility.

The other censuses, such as agriculture, retail trade,

manufactures, and governments, are collected for years

ending in ‘‘2’’ and ‘‘7.’’ Surveys and estimates programs

generate results as often as every month.

Many of the monthly ‘‘economic indicators’’ that measure how the Nation is doing come directly or indirectly

from the Census Bureau. Examples: employment and

unemployment; housing starts; wholesale and retail trade;

manufacturers’ shipments, inventories, and orders; export

and import trade; and sales of single-family homes.

The other statistical activities of the Census Bureau are

described below. Data users will find more information

about them and descriptions of their data products in the

annual Census Catalog and Guide. Also, special guides

and brochures are prepared for most of them. Contact the

Census Bureau’s Customer Services for more information.

Current Demographic and Housing Programs

Two types of current programs complement the 10-year

census: population estimates and surveys. The total population of the United States is estimated monthly; the

population of States, counties, and metropolitan areas is

estimated annually; and the population of places and other

governmental units is estimated every 2 years. Projections

of future population are made at the national and State

levels.

The Census Bureau’s many household surveys update

population and housing characteristics at the national level

and sometimes for States and metropolitan areas, as well.

These surveys also obtain many characteristics not included

in the 10-year census. The Current Population Survey is

taken monthly; the American Housing Survey national

sample is taken biennially; the American Housing Survey

metropolitan sample is taken in 44 areas, 11 per year in a

4-year cycle; most other surveys are annual or less frequent.

Economic Censuses and Surveys

The economic censuses provide statistics about business establishments once every 5 years, covering years

ending in ‘‘2’’ and ‘‘7.’’ The 1987 Economic Censuses

include the censuses of retail trade, wholesale trade,

service industries, transportation, manufactures, mineral

industries, and construction industries. Also included are

related programs, such as statistics on minority- and

women-owned businesses, enterprise statistics, and censuses of economic activity in Puerto Rico and some of the

outlying areas under U.S. jurisdiction.

Several key statistics are tabulated for all industries

covered in the censuses. They are number of establishments, number of employees, payroll, and measure of

output (sales or receipts, and value of shipments or of work

done). Other items vary from sector to sector.

The Census Bureau also has programs that provide

current statistics on such measures as total sales of

particular kinds of businesses or production of particular

products. These programs include monthly, quarterly, and

annual surveys, the results of which appear in publication

series such as Current Business Reports and Current

Industrial Reports. The County Business Patterns program

offers annual statistics based on data compiled primarily

from administrative records.

Agriculture Census and Surveys

The agriculture census is conducted concurrently with

the economic censuses. It is the only source of uniform

agriculture data at the county level. It provides data on

such subjects as the number and size of farms; land use

and ownership; livestock, poultry, and crops; and value of

products sold.

Results of three surveys—the 1988 Farm and Ranch

Irrigation Survey, 1988 Census of Horticulture Specialties,

and 1988 Agricultural Economics and Land Ownership

Survey—are published in conjunction with the 1987 Census of Agriculture. Also, the Census Bureau regularly

issues reports from a survey on cotton ginnings.

Governments Census and Surveys

The census of governments, also for years ending in

‘‘2’’ and ‘‘7,’’ covers all types of governments: Federal,

State, county, municipal (place), township (county subdivision), school district, and special district. It provides data

on such subjects as number of public employees, payrolls,

revenue, and expenditures.

Annual and quarterly surveys cover the same principal

subjects but generate data only for States and the largest

local governments.

Foreign Trade Statistics

Monthly U.S. merchandise trade data compiled by the

Census Bureau summarize export and import transactions

and are based on the official documents filed by shippers

and receivers. These figures reflect the flow of merchandise but not intangibles like services and financial commitments. The trade figures trace commodity movements out

of and into the U.S. Customs jurisdiction, which includes

Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands as well as the 50

States and the District of Columbia. Data are published

separately on trade between the United States and Puerto

Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and other U.S. possessions.

Other Statistical Activities

The Census Bureau also offers international data. It

maintains an international data base which is available to

the public on computer tape and is used to produce the

biennial World Population Profile report. It prepares studies

dealing with the demographic and economic characteristics of other countries and world regions.

Statistical compendia are another important data product. These publications (sometimes also offered in machinereadable form) draw data from many sources and reorganize them for convenient use. The most widely used

compendia are the annual Statistical Abstract of the United

States, the County and City Data Book (published every 5

years), and the State and Metropolitan Area Data Book

(published approximately every 4 years).
