INTRODUCTION

Data from Census 2000 of the Island Areas are presented in PHC-4, Social, Economic, and Housing

Characteristics—Island Areas

The data from Census 2000 of the Island Areas were derived from questions asked of the entire

population and every housing unit. Appendix D presents facsimiles of the questionnaire pages

used to collect the data included in this report.

The PHC-4, Social, Economic, and Housing Characteristics—Island Areas, report series provides

data compiled from all people and housing units. Population items include sex; age; race; Hispanic

or Latino; household relationship; households and families; group quarters; marital status; grandparents as caregivers; language and ability to speak English; place of birth, parents’ place of birth,

citizenship status, and year of entry; migration; children ever born (fertility); place of work; journey to work (commuting); school enrollment and educational attainment; vocational training; veteran status; disability; employment status; industry, occupation, and class of worker; income; and

poverty status. Housing items include occupancy status; vacancy status; tenure; number of

rooms; number of bedrooms; year moved into unit; household size and occupants per room; units

in structure; year structure built; telephone service; plumbing and kitchen facilities; cooking fuel;

source of water; purchase of water from water vendor; condominium status; sewage disposal;

vehicles available; value of home; monthly rent; and shelter costs. Land area measurements and

population density also are provided.

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 desired data. The table finding guide lists alphabetically, by geographic area, the subjects shown in this report. To determine which tables in this report show data for a particular

topic, find the subject in the lefthand column of the table finding guide and then look across the

columns using the headings at the top for the desired type of geographic area. Figure I–1 is an

example of a table finding guide.

The table finding guide

does not include crossclassifications of subjectmatter items.

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 in

Figure I–2.

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 subjects 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 sub categories 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.

I–2 How to Use This Census Report

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
The data field is that

part of the statistical

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 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. Census

tables often include

derived measures such

as medians, means,

percentages, and ratios.

These and other

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 Census

2000 reports:

• A dash ‘‘-’’ represents zero or a derived measure that rounds to less than 0.1.

• (X) means not applicable. In the 1990 and earlier decennial census reports, three dots ‘‘...’’

meant not applicable.

• (NA) means not available.

• A plus sign ‘‘+’’ is appended to the lower bound of the highest interval when the median falls in

the upper interval of an open-ended distribution. A minus sign ‘‘-’’ is appended to the upper

bound of the lowest interval when the median falls in the lowest interval of an open-ended

distribution. For more information on medians, see the section on ‘‘Derived Measures’’ in

Appendix B.

The following geographic abbreviations and terms may be used in the tables in this report:

• A ‘‘(part)’’ next to the name of a geographic area in a hierarchical presentation indicates that the

geographic entity is located only partially in the superior geographic entity. For example, a

‘‘(part)’’ 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, urban/rural,

Figure I–2.

How to Use This Census Report I–3

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
metropolitan area, 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.

• CCD is census county division.

• CDP is census designated place.

GRAPHICS

Charts, statistical maps, and other graphic summaries are included in some Census 2000 reports.

USER NOTES

User notes include corrections, errata, and related explanatory information. This section appears

directly before the statistical tables in census reports. 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. However, sometimes this information becomes available too late to be

reflected even in the user notes. Census 2000 user updates are available on the Census Bureau’s

Internet site at www.census.gov/main/www/cen2000.html. To receive notification of user notes,

subscribe to the Census Product Update (http://www.census.gov/mp/www/cpu.html), a biweekly

e-mail newsletter available from the Customer Services Center of the Marketing Services Office at

the U.S. Census Bureau, or contact the Customer Services Center directly on 301-763-INFO (4636)

or at webmaster@census.gov.

Appendix B, Definitions of Subject Characteristics. Contains definitions for the subjectmatter terms used in census products, including explanations of derived measures, limitations of

the data, and comparability with previous censuses. The subjects are listed alphabetically. Population characteristics are defined first, followed by the definitions of the housing subjects.

Appendix C, Collection and Processing Procedures. Explains the enumeration and residence rules used in counting the population and housing units in the Island Areas. It also

describes the major components of the operational plan for Census 2000, and includes a glossary

of terms.

Appendix D, Questionnaire Facsimile. Presents a facsimile of the Census 2000 questionnaire used to collect the data in this report.

Appendix E, Data Products and User Assistance. Summarizes the Census 2000 data products by describing the information available in printed reports and through electronic media such

as CD-ROM, DVD, and the Internet. It also describes Census 2000 maps and other geographic

products, reference materials, and sources of assistance.

Appendix F, Maps. Contains maps depicting the geographic areas shown in this report.

Appendix G, Accuracy of the Data. Provides information on confidentiality of the data, imputation of housing unit status and population counts, sources of errors in the data, and editing of

unacceptable data.

Appendix H, Acknowledgments. Lists many of the U.S. Census Bureau staff who participated

INTRODUCTION—GEOGRAPHIC PRESENTATION OF DATA

In decennial census data products, geographic entities usually are presented in an hierarchical

arrangement or as an inventory listing.

Hierarchical Presentation

An hierarchical geographic presentation shows the geographic entities in a superior/subordinate

structure. 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 computer-readable media in the geographic coverage portion of the abstract in the

technical documentation. An example of hierarchical presentation for the Virgin Islands of the

United States is the ‘‘standard census geographic hierarchy’’: census block, within block group,

within census tract, within place, within minor civil division, within first-order subdivision, within

the Virgin Islands of the United States. Graphically, this is shown as:

Virgin Islands (U.S.)

First-order subdivision

Minor civil division

Place (or part)

Census tract (or part)

Block group (or part)

Census block

Inventory Presentation

An inventory presentation of geographic entities is one in which all entities of the same type are

shown in alphabetical, code, or geographic 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, or block group. An example of a series of

inventory presentations is: state or statistically equivalent entity, followed by all of its first-order

subdivisions, followed by all the places. Graphically, this is shown as:

The Virgin Islands of the United States

Subdivision A

Subdivision B

Subdivision C

Place X

Place Y

Place Z

AREA MEASUREMENT

Area measurement data provide the size, in square units (metric and nonmetric) of geographic

entities for which the U.S. Census Bureau tabulates and disseminates data. Area is calculated from

the specific boundary recorded for each entity in the Census Bureau’s geographic database (see

TIGER® database). These area measurements are recorded as whole square meters. (To convert

square meters to square kilometers, divide by 1,000,000; to convert square kilometers to square

miles, divide by 2.589988; to convert square meters to square miles, divide by 2,589,988.)

A–2 Census 2000 Geographic Terms and Concepts

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
The U.S. Census Bureau provides area measurement data for both land area and total water area.

The water area figures for the Virgin Islands of the United States include inland, coastal, and

territorial water. (For the 1990 census, the Census Bureau provided area measurements for land

and total water; water area for the inland, coastal, and territorial water classifications was

available in the Geographic Identification Code Scheme product only.) ‘‘Inland water’’ consists of

any lake, reservoir, pond, or similar body of water that is recorded in the Census Bureau’s

geographic database. It also includes any river, creek, canal, stream, or similar feature that is

recorded in that database as a two-dimensional feature (rather than as a single line). The portions

of the oceans and related large embayments, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea that

belong to the United States and its territories are classified as ‘‘coastal’’ and ‘‘territorial’’ waters.

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 data presentation purposes only, and does not necessarily

reflect their legal definitions.

Land and water area measurements may disagree with the information displayed on U.S. Census

Bureau maps and in the TIGER® database 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 first-order subdivision but is not within

the legal boundary of any minor civil division. Crews-of-vessels entities (see CENSUS TRACT and

CENSUS BLOCK) do not encompass territory and therefore have no area measurements.

The accuracy of any area measurement data is limited by the accuracy inherent in (1) the location

and shape of the various boundary information in the TIGER® database, (2) the location and

shapes of the shorelines of water bodies in that database, and (3) rounding affecting the last digit

in all operations that compute and/or sum the area measurements.

BLOCK GROUP (BG)

A block group (BG) consists of all census blocks having the same first digit of their four-digit

identifying numbers within a census tract. For example, block group 3 (BG 3) within a census tract

includes all blocks numbered from 3000 to 3999. BGs generally contain between 600 and 3,000

people, with an optimum size of 1,500 people. BGs on special places must contain a minimum of

300 people. (Special places include correctional institutions, military installations, college

campuses, workers’ dormitories, hospitals, nursing homes, and group homes.)

Most BGs were delineated by local participants as part of the U.S. Census Bureau’s Participant

Statistical Areas Program. The Census Bureau delineated BGs only where a local, state, or tribal

government declined to participate or where the Census Bureau could not identify a potential local

or tribal participant.

BGs never cross the boundaries of states (or statistically equivalent entities), and first-order

subdivisions. BGs never cross the boundaries of census tracts, but may cross the boundary of any

other geographic entity required as a census block boundary (see CENSUS BLOCK).

In decennial census data tabulations, a BG may be split to present data for every unique

combination of minor civil division, place, or other tabulation entity shown in the data products.

For example, if BG 3 is partly in a place and partly outside the place, there are separate tabulated

records for each portion of BG 3. BGs are used in tabulating data nationwide, as was done for the

1990 census, and for all block-numbered areas in the 1980 census. For data presentation

purposes, BGs are a substitute for the enumeration districts (EDs) used for reporting data in the

Virgin Islands of the United States for censuses before 1990. Also, BGs are the lowest level of the

geographic hierarchy for which the U.S. Census Bureau tabulates and presents sample data.

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
BOUNDARY CHANGES

Many of the legal and statistical entities for which the U.S. Census Bureau tabulates decennial

census data have had boundary changes between the 1990 census and Census 2000; that is,

between January 2, 1990, and January 1, 2000. 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 or executive orders, and governmental action placing additional lands in

trust.

6. Decisions by federal, state, and local courts.

7. Redistricting for congressional districts or county subdivisions that represent single-member

districts for election to a county governing board.

Statistical entity boundaries generally are reviewed by local, state, or tribal governments and can

have changes to adjust boundaries to visible features, to better define the geographic area each

encompasses, or to account for shifts and changes in the population distribution within an area.

The historical counts shown for the first-order subdivisions, minor civil divisions, and

incorporated places of the Virgin Islands of the United States are not updated for such changes,

and thus reflect the population and housing units in each entity as delineated at the time of each

decennial census. Boundary changes are not reported for some entities, such as census

designated places and block groups.

Changes to the boundaries for census tracts and, for the first time, for census blocks are available

in relationship files, which are only available in computer-readable form. The census tract

relationship files feature the relationship of census tracts/block numbering areas at the time of

the 1990 census to census tracts for Census 2000, and vice versa, including partial relationships.

For the first time, the census tract relationship files show a measure of the magnitude of change

using the proportion of the length of roads and sides of roads contained in partial census tracts.

This information can be used to proportion the data for the areas where census tracts have

changed.

The census block relationship files, which are available only in computer-readable form, present

relationships of the 1990 census and Census 2000 blocks on the basis of whole blocks or part

blocks (‘‘P’’). The following relationships can be derived:

A–4 Census 2000 Geographic Terms and Concepts

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Block relationship files are available to compare the following sets of census blocks:

1990 tabulation block to 2000 collection block

2000 collection block to 2000 tabulation block

1990 tabulation block to 2000 tabulation block

Census tract relationship files and block relationship files are not geographic equivalency files. For

a true areal comparison between the census tracts/block numbering areas and blocks used for the

1990 census and the census tracts and blocks used for Census 2000 (as well as other geographic

areas), it is necessary to use the 2000 TIGER/Line® files. The 2000 TIGER/Line® files will contain

1990 and 2000 boundaries for first-order subdivisions, minor civil divisions, places, census tracts,

census blocks, and by derivation from the census blocks, block groups.

CENSUS BLOCK

Census blocks are 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. Generally, census blocks are

small in area; for example, a block bounded by city streets. However, census blocks in sparsely

settled areas may contain many square miles of territory.

All territory in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas has been assigned block

numbers, as was the case for the 1990 census. To improve operational efficiency and geographic

identifications, the U.S. Census Bureau has introduced different numbering systems for tabulation

blocks used in decennial census data products, and for collection blocks, used in administering

the census. (In 1990, there generally was a single numbering system.) Collection block numbers

are available only in the TIGER/Line® data products; the Census Bureau does not tabulate data for

collection blocks.

Many tabulation blocks, used in decennial census data products, represent the same geographic

area as the collection blocks used in the Census 2000 enumeration process. Where the collection

blocks include territory in two or more geographic entities, each unique piece required for data

tabulation is identified as a separate tabulation block with a separate block number. It is possible

for two or more collection blocks to be combined into a single tabulation block. This situation can

occur when a visible feature established as a collection block boundary is deleted during the field

update operation. Tabulation blocks do not cross the boundaries of any entity for which the U.S.

Census Bureau tabulates data, including census tracts, first-order subdivisions, minor civil

divisions, places, and urban and rural areas. Tabulation blocks also generally do not cross the

boundaries of certain landmarks, including military installations, national parks, and national

monuments.

Tabulation blocks are identified uniquely within census tract by means of a four-digit number. (The

1990 census block numbers had three digits, with a potential alphabetic suffix.) The Census 2000

collection blocks are numbered uniquely within first-order subdivision and consist of four or five

digits. For its Census 2000 data tabulations, the U.S. Census Bureau created a unique set of

census block numbers immediately before beginning the tabulation process. These are the census

block numbers seen in the data presentations. For the 1990 census, the Census Bureau created a

separate block with a suffix of ‘‘Z’’ to identify crews-of-vessels population. For Census 2000,

crews-of-vessels population is assigned to the land block identified by the Census Bureau as

associated with the homeport of the vessel.

The U.S. Census Bureau introduced a different method for identifying the water areas of census

blocks. For the 1990 census, water was not uniquely identified within a census block; instead, all

water area internal to a block group was given a single block number ending in ‘‘99’’ (for example,

in block group 1, all water was identified as block 199). A suffix was added to each water block

number where the block existed in more than one tabulation entity within its block group. For

Census 2000, water area located completely within the boundary of a single land tabulation block

has the same block number as that land block. Water area that touches more than one land block

is assigned a unique block number not associated with any adjacent land block. The water block

numbers begin with the block group number followed by ‘‘999’’ and proceed in descending order

Census 2000 Geographic Terms and Concepts A–5

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
(for example, in block group 3, the numbers assigned to water areas that border multiple land

blocks are 3999, 3998, etc.). In some block groups, the numbering of land blocks might use

enough of the available numbers to reach beyond the 900 range within the block group. For this

reason, and because some land blocks include water (ponds and small lakes), no conclusions

about whether a block is all land or all water can be made by looking at the block number. The

land/water flag, set at the polygon level in the TIGER® database and shown in TIGER/Line® and

statistical data tabulation files, is the only way to know if a block is all water when viewing the

computer files. On maps, water areas are shown with a screen symbol.

CENSUS REGION AND CENSUS DIVISION

For statistical purposes, the United States is divided into four census regions, which are further

subdivided into nine census divisions. The Virgin Islands of the United States is not assigned to

any region or division.

CENSUS TRACT

Census tracts are small, relatively permanent statistical subdivisions of a county or statistically

equivalent entity delineated by local participants as part of the U.S. Census Bureau’s Participant

Statistical Areas Program. The Census Bureau delineated census tracts where no local participant

existed or where a local or tribal government declined to participate. The primary purpose of

census tracts is to provide a stable set of geographic units for the presentation of decennial

census data. This is the first decennial census for which the entire United States and its territories

are covered by census tracts. For the 1990 census, some areas had census tracts and others, such

as the Virgin Islands of the United States had block numbering areas (BNAs). For Census 2000, all

BNAs were replaced by census tracts, which may or may not represent the same areas.

Census tracts in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands of the United States

generally have between 1,500 and 8,000 people, with an optimum size of 4,000 people.

First-order subdivisions with fewer than 1,500 people have a single census tract. Census tracts

that comprise special places must contain a minimum of 1,000 people. (Special places include

correctional institutions, military installations, college campuses, workers’ dormitories, hospitals,

nursing homes, and group homes.) When first delineated, census tracts are designed to be

relatively homogeneous with respect to population characteristics, economic status, and living

conditions. 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 many decades

so that statistical comparisons can be made from decennial census to decennial census. However,

physical changes in street patterns caused by highway construction, new developments, and so

forth, may require occasional boundary revisions. In addition, census tracts occasionally are split

due to population growth or combined as a result of substantial population decline.

Census tracts are identified by a four-digit basic number and may have a two-digit numeric suffix;

for example, 6059.02. The decimal point separating the four-digit basic tract number from the

two-digit suffix is shown in the printed reports and on census maps. In computer-readable files,

the decimal point is implied. Many census tracts do not have a suffix; in such cases, the suffix

field is either left blank or is zero-filled. Leading zeros in a census tract number (for example,

002502) are shown only in computer-readable files. Census tract suffixes may range from .01 to

.98. For the 1990 census, the .99 suffix was reserved for census tracts/block numbering areas

that contained only crews-of-vessels population; for Census 2000, the crews-of-vessels population

is included with the related census tract.

Census tract numbers range from 1 to 9999 and are unique within a first-order subdivision. The

number 0000 in computer-readable files identifies a census tract delineated to provide complete

coverage of water area in territorial seas.

CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT (CD)

The Virgin Islands of the United States is represented in the U.S. House of Representatives by a

delegate, who may not vote on the floor of the House of Representatives, but may vote on

legislation as it is considered by committees to which the delegate has been named. In

computer-readable data products that display a congressional district field, the two-digit Federal

Information Processing Standards (FIPS) code ‘‘98’’ is used to identify such a representational area.

A–6 Census 2000 Geographic Terms and Concepts

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
FIRST-ORDER SUBDIVISION

‘‘First-order subdivisions’’ are the highest-level legal subdivisions of a state (in the United States)

or a statistically equivalent entity. In the United States, this entity usually is called a ‘‘county.’’ The

entities that serve as first-order subdivisions for census purposes in the Virgin Islands of the

United States are the principal islands of St. Croix, St. John, and St. Thomas.

Each first-order subdivision is assigned a three-digit Federal Information Processing Standards

(FIPS) code that is unique within state and state-equivalent entity. These codes are assigned in

alphabetical order of first-order subdivision within state or statistically equivalent entity.

GEOGRAPHIC CODE

Geographic codes are shown primarily in computer-readable data products, such as computer

tape and CD-ROM/DVD media, including data tabulations and data tables associated with

computer-readable boundary files, but they also are shown on some U.S. Census Bureau maps.

Census codes are used only if there is no Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) code for

the same geographic entity or if the FIPS code is not adequate for data presentation. A code that is

not identified as either ‘‘census’’ or ‘‘FIPS’’ is usually a census code for which there is no FIPS

equivalent. Entities that use only FIPS codes in Census Bureau products are congressional district,

first-order subdivision, minor civil division, places, and state or statistically equivalent entity.

Census Code

Census codes are assigned for a variety of geographic entities, including urbanized area and

urban cluster. The structure, format, and meaning of census codes used in U.S. Census Bureau

data products appear in the appropriate technical documentation.

Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) Code Federal Information

Processing Standards (FIPS) codes are assigned for a variety of geographic entities, including

congressional district, first-order subdivision, minor civil division, place, and state or statistically

equivalent entity. The structure, format, and meaning of FIPS codes used in U.S. Census Bureau

data products appear in the appropriate technical documentation.

The objective of FIPS codes is to improve the ability to use the data resources of the federal

government and avoid unnecessary duplication and incompatibilities in the collection, processing,

and dissemination of data. The FIPS codes and FIPS code documentation are available online at

http://www.itl.nist.gov/fipspubs/index.htm. Further information about the FIPS 5-2, 6-4, and 9-1

publications (states, counties, and congressional districts, respectively) is available from the

Geographic Areas Branch, Geography Division, U.S. Census Bureau, Washington, DC 20233-7400,

telephone 301-457-1099. Further information about the FIPS 55-DC3 publication (places,

consolidated cities, county subdivisions, and noncensus locational entities) is available from the

Geographic Names Office, National Mapping Division, U.S. Geological Survey, 523 National Center,

Reston, VA 20192, telephone 703-648-4544.

United States Postal Service (USPS) Code

United States Postal Service (USPS) codes for states and statistically equivalent entities are used in

all decennial census data products. The codes are two-character alphabetic abbreviations. These

codes are the same as the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) two-character

alphabetic abbreviations.

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

causes this point to be located outside the boundary of the entity or in a water body, it is

relocated to land area within the entity. In computer-readable products, internal points are shown

to six decimal places; the decimal point is implied.

Census 2000 Geographic Terms and Concepts A–7

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
The first character of the latitude or longitude is a plus (+) or a minus (-) sign. A plus sign in the

latitude identifies the point as being in the Northern Hemisphere, while a minus sign identifies a

location in the Southern Hemisphere. For longitude, a plus sign identifies the point as being in the

Eastern Hemisphere, while a minus sign identifies a location in the Western Hemisphere.

ISLAND AREAS OF THE UNITED STATES

The Island Areas of the United States are American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the

Northern Mariana Islands (Northern Mariana Islands), and the Virgin Islands of the United States.

The U.S. Census Bureau treats the Island Areas as entities that are statistically equivalent to states

for data presentation purposes. Geographic definitions specific to the Island Areas are shown in

the appropriate publications and documentation that accompany the data products for the Island

Areas.

American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands sometimes are

referred to as the ‘‘Pacific Island Areas.’’ Sometimes the Island Areas are referred to as ‘‘Island

Territories’’ or ‘‘Insular Areas.’’ For the 1990 and previous censuses, the U.S. Census Bureau

referred to the entities as ‘‘Outlying Areas.’’ The term ‘‘U.S. Minor Outlying Islands’’ refers to

certain small islands under U.S. jurisdiction in the Caribbean and Pacific: Baker Island, Howland

Island, Jarvis Island, Johnston Atoll, Kingman Reef, Midway Islands, Navassa Island, Palmyra Atoll,

and Wake Island.

MINOR CIVIL DIVISION

Minor civil divisions (MCDs) are the primary governmental or administrative divisions of a

first-order subdivision. In the Virgin Islands of the United States, the U.S. Census Bureau

recognizes the census subdistricts as MCDs. These entities are geographic subdivisions of the

first-order subdivisions and are not governmental units.

Each MCD is assigned a five-digit Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) code in

alphabetical order within state or statistically equivalent entity.

PLACE

Places, for the reporting of decennial census data for the Virgin Islands of the United States,

include census designated places and incorporated places. Each place is assigned a five-digit

Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) code, based on the alphabetical order of the place

name within each state or statistically equivalent entity.

Census Designated Place (CDP)

Census designated places (CDPs) are delineated for each decennial census to provide census data

for concentrations of population, housing, and commercial structures that are identifiable by

name but are not within an incorporated place. CDP boundaries usually are defined in cooperation

with state, local, and tribal officials. These boundaries, which usually coincide with visible

features or the boundary of an adjacent incorporated place or other legal entity boundary, have no

legal status, nor do these places have officials elected to serve traditional municipal functions.

CDP boundaries may change from one decennial census to the next with changes in the

settlement pattern; a CDP with the same name as in an earlier census does not necessarily have

the same boundary. There are six CDPs in the Virgin Islands of the United States for Census 2000.

For Census 2000, for the first time, CDPs did not need to meet a minimum population threshold

to qualify for tabulation of census data. For the 1990 census and earlier censuses, the U.S. Census

Bureau required CDPs to qualify on the basis of various minimum population size criteria.

Beginning with the 1950 census, the U.S. Census Bureau, in cooperation with state and local

governments, identified and delineated boundaries and names for CDPs. In the data products

issued in conjunction with Census 2000, the name of each such place is followed by ‘‘CDP,’’ as was

the case for the 1990 and 1980 censuses. In the data products issued in conjunction with the

1950, 1960, and 1970 censuses, these places were identified by ‘‘(U),’’ meaning ‘‘unincorporated

place.’’

A–8 Census 2000 Geographic Terms and Concepts

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Incorporated Place

Incorporated places recognized in decennial census data products are legally defined entities that

represent concentrations of population. The Census Bureau treats the three towns in the Virgin

Islands of the United States (Charlotte Amalie, Christiansted, and Frederiksted) as incorporated

places.

POPULATION OR HOUSING UNIT DENSITY

Population and housing unit density are computed by dividing the total population or number of

housing units within a geographic entity (for example, first-order subdivision, minor civil division,

place) by the land area of that entity measured in square kilometers or square miles. Density is

expressed as both ‘‘people (or housing units) per square kilometer’’ and ‘‘people (or housing units)

per square mile’’ of land area.

PUBLIC USE MICRODATA AREA (PUMA)

A public use microdata area (PUMA) is a decennial census area for which the U.S. Census Bureau

provides specially selected extracts of raw data from a small sample of long-form census records

that are screened to protect confidentiality. These extracts are referred to as ‘‘public use microdata

sample (PUMS)’’ files. Since 1960, data users have been using these files to create their own

statistical tabulations and data summaries.

For Census 2000, state, District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico participants, following U.S. Census

Bureau criteria, delineated two types of PUMAs within their states. PUMAs of one type comprise

areas that contain at least 100,000 people. The PUMS files for these PUMAs contain a 5-percent

sample of the long-form records. The other type of PUMAs, super-PUMAs, comprise areas of at

least 400,000 people. The sample size is 1 percent for the PUMS files for super-PUMAs. The larger

1-percent PUMAs are aggregations of the smaller 5-percent PUMAs.

For the Virgin Islands of the United States, the U.S. Census Bureau established a single PUMA

consisting of a 10-percent sample file.

STATE (OR STATISTICALLY EQUIVALENT ENTITY)

States are the primary governmental divisions of the United States. The District of Columbia is

treated as a statistical equivalent of a state for data presentation purposes. For Census 2000, the

U.S. Census Bureau also treats a number of entities that are not legal divisions of the United States

as statistically equivalent to a state: American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana

Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands of the United States.

Each state and statistically equivalent entity is assigned a two-digit numeric Federal Information

Processing Standards (FIPS) code in alphabetical order by state name, followed in alphabetical

order by Puerto Rico and the Island Areas. Each state and statistically equivalent entity also is

assigned a two-letter FIPS/U.S. Postal Service code and a two-digit census code.

TIGER® DATABASE

TIGER® is an acronym for the Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing

system or database. It is a digital (computer-readable) geographic database that automates the

mapping and related geographic activities required to support the U.S. Census Bureau’s census

and survey programs. The Census Bureau developed the 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 presentations, providing

the geographic structure for tabulation and dissemination of the collected statistical data,

assigning residential and employer addresses to the correct geographic location and relating

those locations to the geographic entities used for data tabulation, and so forth. The content of

the TIGER® database is undergoing continuous updates, and is made available to the public

UNITED STATES

The United States consists of the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

URBAN AND RURAL

The U.S. Census Bureau classifies as urban all territory, population, and housing units located

within urbanized areas (UAs) and urban clusters (UCs). It delineates UA and UC boundaries to

encompass densely settled territory, which generally consists of:

• A cluster of one or more block groups or census blocks each of which has a population density

of at least 1,000 people per square mile at the time.

• Surrounding block groups and census blocks each of which has a population density of at least

500 people per square mile at the time.

• Less densely settled blocks that form enclaves or indentations, or are used to connect

discontiguous areas with qualifying densities.

Rural consists of all territory, population, and housing units located outside of UAs and UCs.

Geographic entities such as first-order subdivisions, minor civil divisions, and places often contain

both urban and rural territory, population, and housing units.

The urban and rural classification applies to the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico,

American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Virgin Islands of the United States.

Urbanized Area (UA)

An urbanized area (UA) consists of densely settled territory that contains 50,000 or more people,

except in Guam (see below). The U.S. Census Bureau delineates UAs to provide a better separation

of urban and rural territory, population, and housing in the vicinity of large places. There are no

UAs in the Virgin Islands of the United States.

Urban Cluster (UC)

An urban cluster (UC) consists of densely settled territory that has at least 2,500 people but fewer

than 50,000 people, except in Guam. By agreement with the Government of Guam, the U.S.

Census Bureau recognizes Hagåtña as a UC rather than an urbanized area.

The U.S. Census Bureau introduced the UC for Census 2000 to provide a more consistent and

accurate measure of the population concentration in and around places. UCs are defined using the

same criteria that are used to define UAs. UCs replace the provision in the 1990 and previous

censuses that defined as urban only those places with 2,500 or more people located outside of

urbanized areas.

Urban Area Title

The title of each urbanized area (UA) and urban cluster (UC) may contain up to three incorporated

place names, and will include the two-letter U.S. Postal Service abbreviation for each state into

which the UA extends. However, if the UA or UC does not contain an incorporated place, the urban

area title will include the single name of a census designated place, minor civil division, or

populated place recognized by the U.S. Geological Survey’s Geographic Names Information

System.

Each UA and UC is assigned a five-digit numeric code, based on a national alphabetical sequence

of all urban area names. A separate flag is included in data tabulation files to differentiate

between UAs and UCs. In printed reports, the differentiation between UAs and UCs is included in

the name.

A–10 Census 2000 Geographic Terms and Concepts

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Urban Area Central Place

A central place functions as the dominant center of an urban area. The U.S. Census Bureau

identifies one or more central places for each urbanized area (UA) or urban cluster (UC) that

contains a place. Any incorporated place or census designated place (CDP) that is in the title of the

urban area is a central place of that UA or UC. In addition, any other incorporated places and CDPs

that have an urban population of 50,000, or an urban population of at least 2,500 people and at

least 2/3 the population of the largest place within the urban area, also are central places.

Extended Place

As a result of the urbanized area (UA) and urban cluster (UC) delineations, an incorporated place

or census designated place may be partially within and partially outside of a UA or UC. Any place

that is split by a UA or UC is referred to as an extended place.

Documentation of the UA, UC, and extended place criteria is available from the Geographic Areas

Branch, Geography Division, U.S. Census Bureau, Washington, DC 20233-7400; telephone

301-457-1099.

c-census2000.html.

AGE

The data on age were derived from answers to questionnaire Item 4. The age classification is

based on the age of the person in complete years as of April 1, 2000. The age of the person

usually was derived from their date of birth information. Their reported age was used only when

date of birth information was unavailable.

Data on age are used to determine the applicability of some of the questions for a person and to

classify other characteristics in census tabulations. Age data are needed to interpret most social

and economic characteristics used to plan and examine many programs and policies. Therefore,

age is tabulated by single years of age and by many different groupings, such as 5-year age

groups.

Median age. Median age divides the age distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases

falling below the median age and one-half above the median. Median age is computed on the

basis of a single year of age standard distribution (see the ‘‘Standard Distributions’’ section under

‘‘Derived Measures’’). Median age is rounded to the nearest tenth. (For more information on

medians, see ‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

Limitation of the data. The most general limitation for many decades has been the tendency of

people to overreport ages or years of birth that end in zero or 5. This phenomenon is called ‘‘age

heaping.’’ In addition, the counts in the 1970 and 1980 censuses for people 100 years old and

over were substantially overstated. So also were the counts of people 69 years old in 1970 and 79

years old in 1980. Improvements have been made since then in the questionnaire design and in

the imputation procedures that have minimized these problems.

Review of detailed 1990 census information indicated that respondents tended to provide their

age as of the date of completion of the questionnaire, not their age as of April 1, 1990. One

reason this happened was that respondents were not specifically instructed to provide their age

as of April 1, 1990. Another reason was that data collection efforts continued well past the census

date. In addition, there may have been a tendency for respondents to round their age up if they

were close to having a birthday. It is likely that approximately 10 percent of people in most age

groups were actually 1 year younger. For most single years of age, the misstatements were largely

B–4 Definitions of Subject Characteristics

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
offsetting. The problem is most pronounced at age zero because people lost to age 1 probably

were not fully offset by the inclusion of babies born after April 1, 1990. Also, there may have

been more rounding up to age 1 to avoid reporting age as zero years. (Age in complete months

was not collected for infants under age 1.)

The reporting of age 1 year older than true age on April 1, 1990, is likely to have been greater in

areas where the census data were collected later in calendar year 1990. The magnitude of this

problem was much less in the 1960, 1970, and 1980 censuses where age was typically derived

from respondent data on year of birth and quarter of birth.

These shortcomings were minimized in Census 2000 because age was usually calculated from

exact date of birth and because respondents were specifically asked to provide their age as of

April 1, 2000. (For more information on the design of the age question, see the section below that

discusses ‘‘Comparability.’’)

Comparability. Age data have been collected in every census. For the first time since 1950, the

1990 data were not available by quarter year of age. This change was made so that coded

information could be obtained for both age and year of birth. In 2000, each individual has both an

age and an exact date of birth. In each census since 1940, the age of a person was assigned when

it was not reported. In censuses before 1940, people of unknown age were shown as a separate

category. Since 1960, assignment of unknown age has been performed by a general procedure

described as ‘‘imputation.’’ The specific procedures for imputing age have been different in each

census. (For more information on imputation, see ‘‘Accuracy of the Data.’’)

CITIZENSHIP STATUS

The data on citizenship status were derived from answers to questionnaire Item 12. On the U.S.

Virgin Islands questionnaire, respondents were asked to select one of six categories: (1) born in

the U.S. Virgin Islands, (2) born in the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam, or Northern Mariana

Islands, (3) born abroad of U.S. parent or parents, (4) a U.S. citizen by naturalization, (5) not a U.S.

citizen (permanent resident), and (6) not a U.S. citizen (temporary resident).

Citizen. This category includes respondents who indicated that they were born in the United

States, Puerto Rico, a U.S. Island Area (such as the U.S. Virgin Islands), or abroad of a U.S. parent

or parents. People who indicated that they were U.S. citizens by naturalization are also U.S.

citizens.

Not a citizen. This category includes respondents who indicated that they were not U.S. citizens,

but who indicated that they were either temporary or permanent residents of the U.S. Virgin

Islands.

Native. The native population includes people born in the United States, Puerto Rico, or the U.S.

Island Areas (such as the U.S. Virgin Islands). People who were born in a foreign country but have

at least one U.S. parent also are included in this category. The native population includes anyone

who was a U.S. citizen at birth.

Foreign born. The foreign-born population includes all people who were not U.S. citizens at

birth. Foreign-born people are those who indicated they were either a U.S. citizen by

naturalization or they were not a citizen of the United States, such as respondents who indicated

that they were either temporary or permanent residents of the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Census 2000 does not ask about immigration status. The population surveyed includes all people

who indicated that the U.S. Virgin Islands was their usual place of residence on the census date.

The foreign-born population includes: immigrants (legal permanent residents), temporary

migrants (e.g., students), humanitarian migrants (e.g., refugees), and unauthorized migrants

(people illegally residing in the U.S. Virgin Islands).

The foreign-born population is shown by selected area, country, or region of birth. The places of

birth shown in data products were chosen based on the number of respondents who reported that

area or country of birth. (See ‘‘Place of Birth.’’)

Definitions of Subject Characteristics B–5

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Comparability. The citizenship status questions differ between the 1990 and 2000 censuses of

the U.S. Virgin Islands. In 1990, the question wording includes examples of ‘‘citizen’’ such as

having at least one American parent or being a citizen by naturalization. In 2000, the question is

stated as ‘‘Is this person a citizen of the United States?’’—no examples are provided. Also, the

2000 census distinguishes between noncitizen ‘‘temporary’’ and ‘‘permanent’’ residents; whereas,

the 1990 census includes only one noncitizen response option without any reference to duration

of stay in the United States.

DISABILITY STATUS

The data on disability status were derived from answers to questionnaire Items 16 and 17. Item

16 was a two-part question that asked about the existence of the following long-lasting

conditions: (a) blindness, deafness, or a severe vision or hearing impairment (sensory disability)

and (b) a condition that substantially limits one or more basic physical activities, such as walking,

climbing stairs, reaching, lifting, or carrying (physical disability). Item 16 was asked of the

population 5 years old and over.

Item 17 was a four-part question that asked if the individual had a physical, mental, or emotional

condition lasting 6 months or more that made it difficult to perform certain activities. The four

activity categories were: (a) learning, remembering, or concentrating (mental disability); (b)

dressing, bathing, or getting around inside the home (self-care disability); (c) going outside the

home alone to shop or visit a doctor’s office (going outside the home disability); and (d) working

at a job or business (employment disability). Categories 17a and 17b were asked of the

population 5 years old and over; 17c and 17d were asked of the population 16 years old and over.

For data products that use the items individually, the following terms are used: sensory disability

for 16a, physical disability for 16b, mental disability for 17a, self-care disability for 17b, going

outside the home disability for 17c, and employment disability for 17d.

For data products that use a disability status indicator, individuals were classified as having a

disability if any of the following three conditions were true: (1) they were 5 years old and over

and had a response of ‘‘yes’’ to a sensory, physical, mental or self-care disability; (2) they were 16

years old and over and had a response of ‘‘yes’’ to going outside the home disability; or (3) they

were 16 to 64 years old and had a response of ‘‘yes’’ to employment disability.

Comparability. The 1990 census data products did not include a general disability status

indicator. Furthermore, a comparable indicator could not be constructed since the conceptual

framework of the 1990 census was more limited. The questionnaire included only three types of

disability in questions with four subparts. The questions asked about whether an individual had a

condition that had lasted for 6 months or more and that (1) limited the kind or amount of work

that he or she could do at a job, (2) prevented the individual from working at a job, (3) made it

difficult to go outside the home alone (for example, to shop or visit a doctor’s office), and (4)

made it difficult to take care of his or her own personal needs, such as bathing, dressing, or

getting around inside the home. The 1990 disability questions were asked of the population 15

years old and over.

EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT

Data on educational attainment were derived from answers to questionnaire Item 9a. Data on

attainment are tabulated for the population 25 years old and over. However, when educational

attainment is cross-tabulated by other variables, the universe may change. (For example, when

educational attainment is crossed by disability status, the data are tabulated for the civilian

noninstitutionalized population 18 to 34 years old.) People are classified according to the highest

degree or level of school completed.

The order in which degrees were listed on the questionnaire suggested that doctorate degrees

were ‘‘higher’’ than professional school degrees, which were ‘‘higher’’ than master’s degrees. The

question included instructions for people currently enrolled in school to report the level of the

previous grade attended or the highest degree received. Respondents who did not report

B–6 Definitions of Subject Characteristics

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
educational attainment or enrollment level were assigned the attainment of a person of the same

age, race, Hispanic or Latino origin, and sex, where possible, who resided in the same or a nearby

area. Respondents who filled more than one box were edited to the highest level or degree

reported.

The question included a response category that allowed respondents to report completing the

12th grade without receiving a high school diploma. It allowed people who received either a high

school diploma or the equivalent, for example, passed the Test of General Educational

Development (G.E.D.) and did not attend college, to be reported as ‘‘high school graduate(s).’’ The

category ‘‘Associate degree’’ included people whose highest degree is an associate degree, which

generally requires 2 years of college level work and is either in an occupational program that

prepares them for a specific occupation, or an academic program primarily in the arts and

sciences. The course work may or may not be transferable to a bachelor’s degree. Master’s

degrees include the traditional MA and MS degrees and field-specific degrees, such as MSW, MEd,

MBA, MLS, and MEng. Some examples of professional degrees include medicine, dentistry,

chiropractic, optometry, osteopathic medicine, pharmacy, podiatry, veterinary medicine, law, and

theology. Vocational and technical training, such as barber school training; business, trade,

technical, and vocational schools; or other training for a specific trade, are specifically excluded.

High school graduate or higher. This category includes people whose highest degree was a

high school diploma or its equivalent, people who attended college but did not receive a degree,

and people who received a college, university, or professional degree. People who reported

completing the 12th grade but not receiving a diploma are not high school graduates.

Not enrolled, not high school graduate. This category includes people of compulsory school

attendance age or above who were not enrolled in school and were not high school graduates.

These people may be referred to as ‘‘high school dropouts.’’ However, there is no criterion

regarding when they ‘‘dropped out’’ of school, so they may have never attended high school.

Comparability. Educational attainment questions on years of school completed were included in

the census from 1950 to 1980. In 1950, a single question on highest grade of school completed

was asked. In the 1960 to 1980 censuses, a two-part question was used to construct highest

grade or year of school completed. The question asked (1) the highest grade of school attended

and (2) whether that grade was finished. For people who have not attended college, the response

categories in the current educational attainment question should produce data that are

comparable to data on highest grade completed from earlier censuses. For people who attended

college, there is less comparability between years of school completed and highest degree.

Beginning in 1990, the response categories for people who have attended college were modified

from earlier censuses because there was some ambiguity in interpreting responses in terms of the

number of years of college completed. For instance, it was not clear whether ‘‘completed the

fourth year of college,’’ ‘‘completed the senior year of college,’’ and ‘‘college graduate’’ were

synonymous. Research conducted shortly before the 1990 census suggests that these terms were

more distinct than in earlier decades, and this change may have threatened the ability to estimate

the number of ‘‘college graduates’’ from the number of people reported as having completed the

fourth or a higher year of college. It was even more difficult to make inferences about

post-baccalaureate degrees and ‘‘Associate’’ degrees from highest year of college completed.

Thus, comparisons of post-secondary educational attainment in the 2000 and 1990 censuses with

data from the earlier censuses should be made with great caution.

Changes between 1990 and Census 2000 were slight. The two associate degree categories in

1990 were combined into one for Census 2000. ‘‘Some college, no degree’’ was split into two

categories, ‘‘Some college credit, but less than 1 year,’’ and ‘‘1 or more years of college, no

degree.’’ Prior to 1990, the college levels reported began with ‘‘Completed 1 year of college.’’

Beginning in 1990, the first category was ‘‘Some college, no degree,’’ which allowed people with

less than 1 year of college to be given credit for college. Prior to 1990, they were included in

‘‘High school, 4 years.’’ The two revised categories will accommodate comparisons with either

data series and allow the tabulation of students who completed at least 1 year of college, as some

data users wish. This will not change the total number who completed some college.

Definitions of Subject Characteristics B–7

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
The category ‘‘12th grade, no diploma’’ was counted as high school completion or ‘‘Completed

high school, 4 years’’ prior to 1990 and as ‘‘Less than high school graduate’’ in 1990 and 2000. In

the 1960 and subsequent censuses, people for whom educational attainment was not reported

were assigned the same attainment level as a similar person whose residence was in the same or

a nearby area. In the 1940 and 1950 censuses, people for whom educational attainment was not

reported were not allocated.

In censuses prior to 1990, ‘‘median school years completed’’ was used as a summary measure of

educational attainment. Using the current educational attainment question, the median can only

be calculated for groups of which less than half the members have attended college. ‘‘Percent high

school graduate or higher’’ and ‘‘percent bachelor’s degree or higher’’ are summary measures that

can be calculated from the present data and offer quite readily interpretable measures of

differences between population subgroups.

EMPLOYMENT STATUS

The data on employment status (referred to as labor force status in previous censuses), were

derived from answers to questionnaire Items 22 and 26, which were asked of the population 15

years old and over. The series of questions on employment status was designed to identify, in this

sequence: (1) people who worked at any time during the reference week; (2) people who did not

work during the reference week, but who had jobs or businesses from which they were

temporarily absent (excluding people on layoff); (3) people on temporary layoff who expected to

be recalled to work within the next 6 months or who had been given a date to return to work, and

who were available for work during the reference week; and (4) people who did not work during

the reference week, who had looked for work during the reference week or the three previous

weeks, and who were available for work during the reference week. (For more information, see

‘‘Reference Week.’’)

The employment status data shown in Census 2000 tabulations relate to people 16 years old and

over. In the 1940, 1950, and 1960 censuses, employment status data were presented for people

14 years old and over. The change in the universe was made in 1970 to agree with the official

measurement of the labor force as revised in January 1967 by the U.S. Department of Labor. The

1970 census was the last to show employment data for people 14 and 15 years old.

Employed. All civilians 16 years old and over who were either (1) ‘‘at work’’ — those who did

any work at all during the reference week as paid employees, worked in their own business or

profession, worked on their own farm, or worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers on a family

farm or in a family business; or (2) were ‘‘with a job but not at work’’ — those who did not work

during the reference week, but who had jobs or businesses from which they were temporarily

absent because of illness, bad weather, industrial dispute, vacation, or other personal reasons.

Excluded from the employed are people whose only activity consisted of work around their own

house (painting, repairing, or own home housework) or unpaid volunteer work for religious,

charitable, and similar organizations. Also excluded are all institutionalized people and people on

active duty in the United States Armed Forces.

Civilian employed. This term is defined exactly the same as the term ‘‘employed’’ above.

Unemployed. All civilians 16 years old and over were classified as unemployed if they were

neither ‘‘at work’’ nor ‘‘with a job but not at work’’ during the reference week, were looking for

work during the last 4 weeks, and were available to start a job. Also included as unemployed were

civilians 16 years old and over who: did not work at all during the reference week, were on

temporary layoff from a job, had been informed that they would be recalled to work within the

next 6 months or had been given a date to return to work, and were available to return to work

during the reference week, except for temporary illness. Examples of job seeking activities were:

• Registering at a public or private employment office

• Meeting with prospective employers

• Investigating possibilities for starting a professional practice or opening a business

B–8 Definitions of Subject Characteristics

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
• Placing or answering advertisements

• Writing letters of application

• Being on a union or professional register

Civilian labor force. Consists of people classified as employed or unemployed in accordance

with the criteria described above.

Labor force. All people classified in the civilian labor force (i.e., ‘‘employed’’ and ‘‘unemployed’’

people), plus members of the U.S. Armed Forces (people on active duty with the United States

Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard).

Not in labor force. All people 16 years old and over who are not classified as members of the

labor force. This category consists mainly of students, individuals taking care of home or family,

retired workers, seasonal workers enumerated in an off-season who were not looking for work,

institutionalized people (all institutionalized people are placed in this category regardless of any

work activities they may have done in the reference week), and people doing only incidental

unpaid family work (fewer than 15 hours during the reference week).

Worker. The terms ‘‘worker’’ and ‘‘work’’ appear in connection with several subjects: employment

status, journey-to-work, class of worker, and work status in 1999. Their meaning varies and,

therefore, should be determined by referring to the definition of the subject in which they appear.

When used in the concepts ‘‘Workers in Family,’’ ‘‘Workers in Family in 1999,’’ and ‘‘Full-Time,

Year-Round Workers,’’ the term ‘‘worker’’ relates to the meaning of work defined for the ‘‘Work

Status in 1999’’ subject.

Full-time, year-round workers. See ‘‘Work status in 1999.’’

Limitation of the data. The census may understate the number of employed people because

people who have irregular, casual, or unstructured jobs sometimes report themselves as not

working. The number of employed people ‘‘at work’’ is probably overstated in the census (and

conversely, the number of employed ‘‘with a job, but not at work’’ is understated) since some

people who were on vacation or sick leave erroneously reported themselves as working. This

problem has no effect on the total number of employed people. The reference week for the

employment data is not the same calendar week for all people. Since people can change their

employment status from 1 week to another, the lack of a uniform reference week may mean that

the employment data do not reflect the reality of the employment situation of any given week.

(For more information, see ‘‘Reference Week.’’)

Comparability. The questionnaire items and employment status concepts for Census 2000 are

essentially the same as those used in the 1970 to 1990 censuses. However, these concepts differ

in many respects from those associated with the 1950 and 1960 censuses. Since employment

data from the census are obtained from respondents in households, they differ from statistics

based on reports from individual business establishments, farm enterprises, and certain

government programs. People employed at more than one job are counted only once in the

census and are classified according to the job at which they worked the greatest number of hours

during the reference week. In statistics based on reports from business and farm establishments,

people who work for more than one establishment may be counted more than once. Moreover,

some establishment-based tabulations may exclude private household workers, unpaid family

workers, and self-employed people, but may include workers less than 16 years old. Census

tabulations count people who had a job but were not at work among the employed, but these

people may be excluded from employment figures based on establishment payroll reports.

Furthermore, census employment tabulations include people on the basis of place of residence

regardless of where they work; whereas, establishment data report people at their place of work

regardless of where they live. This latter consideration is particularly significant when comparing

data for workers who commute between areas.

Definitions of Subject Characteristics B–9

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
For several reasons, the unemployment figures of the Census Bureau are not comparable with

published figures on unemployment compensation claims. For example, figures on unemployment

compensation claims exclude people who have exhausted their benefit rights, new workers who

have not earned rights to unemployment insurance, and people losing jobs not covered by

unemployment insurance systems (including some workers in agriculture, domestic services, and

religious organizations, and self-employed and unpaid family workers). In addition, the

qualifications for drawing unemployment compensation differ from the definition of

unemployment used by the Census Bureau. People working only a few hours during the week and

people with a job, but not at work are sometimes eligible for unemployment compensation but

are classified as ‘‘employed’’ in the census. Differences in the geographical distribution of

unemployment data arise because the place where claims are filed may not necessarily be the

same as the place of residence of the unemployed worker.

The figures on employment status from the decennial census are generally comparable with

similar data collected in the Current Population Survey, which is the official source of the monthly

national unemployment rate. However, some differences may exist because of variations between

the two data sources in enumeration and processing techniques.

FERTILITY

Children ever born. The data on fertility (also referred to as ‘‘children ever born’’) were derived

from answers to questionnaire item 19, which asked women 15 years old and over—regardless of

their marital status—how many babies they have ever had. Stillbirths, stepchildren, and adopted

children were excluded from the number of children ever born.

Data are most frequently presented in terms of the aggregate number of children ever born to

women in specified population groups and in terms of the rate per 1,000 women. For the

purposes of calculating the aggregate number of children ever born, the open-ended response

category ‘‘15 or more’’ is assigned a value of 15.

Comparability. The wording of the question on children ever born was the same in 2000 as in

1990. In 1990, however, the terminal category was ‘‘12 or more’’ children ever born, and for

purposes of calculating the aggregate number of children ever born, the open-ended response

category was assigned a value of 13.

GRADE IN WHICH ENROLLED

The data on grade or level in which enrolled were derived from questionnaire Item 8b. People who

were enrolled in school were classified as enrolled in ‘‘Nursery school, preschool,’’ ‘‘Kindergarten,’’

‘‘Grade 1 to Grade 4’’ or ‘‘Grade 5 to Grade 8,’’ ‘‘Grade 9 to Grade 12,’’ ‘‘College undergraduate

years (freshman to senior)’’ or ‘‘Graduate and professional school (for example: medical, dental, or

law school).’’

Comparability. Grade of enrollment was first available in the 1950 census, when grade was

derived from highest grade of school completed. From 1960 to 1980, grade of enrollment was

obtained from the highest grade attended in the two-part question used to measure educational

attainment. (For more information, see the discussion under ‘‘Educational Attainment.’’) The form

of the question from which level of enrollment was derived in the 1990 census most closely

corresponds to the question used in 1950. While data from prior censuses can be aggregated to

provide levels of enrollment comparable to the 1990 census and Census 2000, the data from

these sources cannot be disaggregated to show single grade of enrollment as in previous

censuses.

In the 1990 census, people who were enrolled in school were classified as enrolled in ‘‘preprimary

school,’’ ‘‘elementary or high school,’’ or ‘‘college,’’ according to their response to the

questionnaire item on highest level of school completed or highest degree received. Those who

were enrolled and reported completing nursery school or less were classified as enrolled in

‘‘preprimary school,’’ which includes kindergarten. Similarly, those enrolled who had completed at

least kindergarten, but not high school, were classified as enrolled in elementary or high school.

B–10 Definitions of Subject Characteristics

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
The enrolled who also reported completing high school or some college or having received a

post-secondary degree were classified as enrolled in ‘‘college.’’ Those who reported completing

the twelfth grade but receiving ‘‘NO DIPLOMA’’ were classified as enrolled in high school.

The Census 2000 question is the first to be asked only of the enrolled and does not serve to

measure both year of enrollment and educational attainment. While the attainment item in 1990

served the needs for educational attainment data better than the question used in earlier

censuses, it did not serve reporting of enrollment level well.

GRANDPARENTS AS CAREGIVERS

The data on grandparents as caregivers were derived from answers to questionnaire Item 20,

which was asked of the population 15 years old and over. Data were collected on whether a

grandchild lives in the household, whether the grandparent has responsibility for the basic needs

of the grandchild, and the duration of that responsibility. Because of the very low number of

people under 30 years old who are grandparents, data are only shown for people 30 years old and

over.

Existence of a grandchild in the household. This was determined by a ‘‘Yes’’ answer to the

question, ‘‘Does this person have any of his/her own grandchildren under the age of 18 living in

this house or apartment?’’

Responsibility for basic needs. This question determines if the grandparent is financially

responsible for food, shelter, clothing, day care, etc., for any or all grandchildren living in the

household.

Duration of responsibility. The answer refers to the grandchild for whom the grandparent has

been responsible for the longest period of time. Duration categories ranged from less than 6

months to 5 years or more.

Comparability. These questions are new to Census 2000. The Personal Responsibility and Work

Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 mandated that the decennial census collect data on this

subject.

GROUP QUARTERS

The group quarters population includes all people not living in households. Two general

categories of people in group quarters are recognized: (1) the institutionalized population and (2)

the noninstitutionalized population.

Institutionalized population. Includes people under formally authorized, supervised care or

custody in institutions at the time of enumeration. Such people are classified as ‘‘patients or

inmates’’ of an institution regardless of the availability of nursing or medical care, the length of

stay, or the number of people in the institution. Generally, the institutionalized population is

restricted to the institutional buildings and grounds (or must have passes or escorts to leave) and

thus have limited interaction with the surrounding community. Also, they are generally under the

care of trained staff who have responsibility for their safekeeping and supervision.

Type of institution. The type of institution was determined as part of census enumeration

activities. For institutions that specialize in only one specific type of service, all patients or

inmates were given the same classification. For institutions that had multiple types of major

services (usually general hospitals and Veterans’ Administration hospitals), patients were

classified according to selected types of wards. For example, in psychiatric wards of hospitals,

patients were classified in ‘‘mental (psychiatric) hospitals’’; in general hospital wards for people

with chronic diseases, patients were classified in ‘‘other hospitals for the chronically ill.’’ Each

patient or inmate was classified in only one type of institution. Institutions include the following

types:

Correctional institutions. Includes prisons, federal detention centers, military disciplinary barracks

and jails, police lockups, halfway houses used for correctional purposes, local jails, and other

confinement facilities, including work farms.

Definitions of Subject Characteristics B–11

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Prisons. Where people convicted of crimes serve their sentences. In some census products,

the prisons are classified by two types of control: (1) ‘‘federal’’ (operated by the Bureau of

Prisons of the Department of Justice) and (2) ‘‘state.’’ In census products this category

includes federal detention centers. Residents who are criminally insane were classified on

the basis of where they resided at the time of enumeration: (1) in institutions (or hospital

wards) operated by departments of correction or similar agencies, or (2) in institutions

operated by departments of mental health or similar agencies.

Federal detention centers. Operated by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS)

and the Bureau of Prisons. These facilities include: detention centers used by the Park Police;

Bureau of Indian Affairs Detention Centers; INS Centers, such as the INS Federal Alien

Detention Facility; INS Processing Centers; INS Contract Detention Centers used to detain

aliens under exclusion or deportation proceedings, as well as those aliens who have not

been placed into proceedings, such as custodial required departures; and INS Detention

Centers operated within local jails, and state and federal prisons.

Military disciplinary barracks and jails. Operated by military police and used to hold people

awaiting trial or convicted of violating military laws.

Local jails and other confinement facilities. Includes facilities operated by counties and cities

that primarily hold people beyond arraignment, usually for more than 48 hours and police

lockups operated by county and city police that hold people for 48 hours or less only if they

have not been formally charged in court. Also, includes work farms used to hold people

awaiting trial or serving time on relatively short sentences and jails run by private

businesses under contract for local governments (but not by state governments).

Halfway houses. Operated for correctional purposes and include probation and restitution

centers, prerelease centers, and community-residential centers.

Other types of correctional institutions. Privately operated correctional facilities and

correctional facilities specifically for alcohol or drug abuse.

Nursing homes. Comprises a heterogeneous group of places providing continuous nursing and

other services to patients. The majority of patients are elderly, although people who require

nursing care because of chronic physical conditions may be found in these homes regardless of

their age. Included in this category are skilled-nursing facilities, intermediate-care facilities,

long-term care rooms in wards or buildings on the grounds of hospitals, or long-term care

rooms/nursing wings in congregate housing facilities. Also included are nursing, convalescent,

and rest homes, such as soldiers’, sailors’, veterans’, and fraternal or religious homes for the aged,

with nursing care.

Mental (psychiatric) hospitals. Includes hospitals or wards for the criminally insane not

operated by a prison and psychiatric wards of general hospitals and veterans’ hospitals. Patients

receive supervised medical/nursing care from formally trained staff.

Hospitals or wards for chronically ill. Includes hospitals for patients who require long-term

care, including those in military hospitals and wards for the chronically ill located on military

bases; or other hospitals or wards for the chronically ill, which include tuberculosis hospitals or

wards; wards in general and Veterans’ Administration hospitals for the chronically ill; neurological

wards; hospices and homes for chronically ill patients; wards for patients with Hansen’s Disease

(leprosy) and other incurable diseases; and other unspecified wards for the chronically ill. Patients

who had no usual home elsewhere were enumerated as part of the institutional population in the

wards of general and military hospitals. Most hospital patients are at the hospital temporarily and

were enumerated at their usual place of residence. In some census products, patients in hospitals

or wards for the chronically ill are classified in three categories: (1) military hospitals or wards for

chronically ill, (2) other hospitals or wards for chronically ill, and (3) hospices or homes for

chronically ill.

Schools, hospitals, or wards for the mentally retarded. Includes those institutions such as

wards in hospitals for the mentally retarded and intermediate-care facilities for the mentally

retarded that provide supervised medical/nursing care from formally trained staff.

B–12 Definitions of Subject Characteristics

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Schools, hospitals, or wards for the physically handicapped. Includes three types of

institutions: institutions for the blind, those for the deaf, and orthopedic wards and institutions

for the physically handicapped. Institutions for people with speech problems are classified with

‘‘institutions for the deaf.’’ The category ‘‘orthopedic wards and institutions for the physically

handicapped’’ includes those institutions providing relatively long-term care to accident victims

and to people with polio, cerebral palsy, and muscular dystrophy.

Hospitals and wards for drug/alcohol abuse. Includes hospitals and wards for drug/alcohol

abuse. These facilities are equipped medically and designed for the diagnosis and treatment of

medical or psychiatric illnesses associated with alcohol or drug abuse. Patients receive supervised

medical care from formally trained staff.

Wards in general hospitals for patients who have no usual home elsewhere. Includes

maternity, neonatal, pediatric (including wards for boarder babies), and surgical wards of

hospitals and wards for people with infectious diseases. If not shown separately, this category

includes wards in military hospitals for patients who have no usual home elsewhere.

Wards in military hospitals for patients who have no usual home elsewhere. (See above

definition for ‘‘Wards in general hospitals for patients who have no usual home elsewhere.’’)

Juvenile institutions. Includes homes, schools, and other institutions providing care for

children (short- or long-term care). Juvenile institutions include the following types:

Homes for abused, dependent, and neglected children. Includes orphanages and other institutions

that provide long-term care (usually more than 30 days) for children.

Residential treatment centers. Includes those institutions that primarily serve children who, by

clinical diagnosis, are moderately or seriously disturbed emotionally. Also, these institutions

provide long-term treatment services, usually supervised or directed by a psychiatrist.

Training schools for juvenile delinquents. Includes residential training schools or homes, and

industrial schools, camps, or farms for juvenile delinquents.

Public training schools for juvenile delinquents. Usually operated by a state agency (for example,

department of welfare, corrections, or a youth authority). Some are operated by county and city

governments. These public training schools are specialized institutions serving delinquent

children, generally between the ages of 10 and 17 years old, all of whom are committed by the

courts.

Private training schools. Operated under private auspices. Some of the children they serve are

committed by the courts as delinquents. Others are referred by parents or social agencies because

of delinquent behavior. One difference between private and public training schools is that, by

their administrative policy, private schools have control over their selection and intake.

Detention centers. Includes institutions providing short-term care (usually 30 days or less)

primarily for delinquent children pending disposition of their cases by a court. This category also

covers diagnostic centers. In practice, such institutions may be caring for both delinquent and

neglected children pending court disposition.

Noninstitutionalized population. Includes people who live in group quarters other than

institutions. Includes staff residing in military and nonmilitary group quarters on institutional

grounds who provide formally authorized, supervised care or custody for the institutionalized

population.

Group Homes. Includes ‘‘community-based homes’’ that provide care and supportive services.

Such places include homes for the mentally ill, mentally retarded, and physically handicapped;

drug/alcohol halfway houses not operated for correctional purposes; communes; and maternity

homes for unwed mothers.

Definitions of Subject Characteristics B–13

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Homes for the mentally ill. Includes community-based homes that provide care primarily for

the mentally ill. Homes that combine treatment of the physically handicapped with treatment

of the mentally ill are counted as homes for the mentally ill.

Homes for the mentally retarded. Includes community-based homes that provide care

primarily for the mentally retarded. Homes that combine treatment of the physically

handicapped with treatment of the mentally retarded are counted as homes for the mentally

retarded.

Homes for the physically handicapped. Includes community-based homes for the blind, for

the deaf, and other community-based homes for the physically handicapped. People with

speech problems are classified with homes for the deaf. Homes that combine treatment of

the physically handicapped with treatment of the mentally ill are counted as homes for the

mentally ill. Homes that combine treatment of the physically handicapped with treatment of

the mentally retarded are counted as homes for the mentally retarded.

Homes or halfway houses for drug/alcohol abuse. Includes people with no usual home

elsewhere in places that provide community-based care and supportive services to people

suffering from a drug/alcohol addiction and to recovering alcoholics and drug abusers.

Places providing community-based care for drug and alcohol abusers include group homes,

detoxification centers, quarterway houses (residential treatment facilities that work closely

with accredited hospitals), halfway houses, and recovery homes for ambulatory, mentally

competent recovering alcoholics and drug abusers who may be reentering the work force.

Other group homes. Includes people with no usual home elsewhere in communes, foster

care homes, and maternity homes for unwed mothers. Most of these types of places provide

communal living quarters, generally for people who have formed their own community in

which they have common interests and often share or own property jointly. The maternity

homes for unwed mothers provide domestic care for unwed mothers and their children.

These homes may provide social services and postnatal care within the facility, or may make

arrangements for women to receive such services in the community. Nursing services are

usually available in the facility.

Religious group quarters. Includes, primarily, group quarters for nuns teaching in parochial

schools and for priests living in rectories. It also includes other convents and monasteries, except

those associated with a general hospital or an institution.

College quarters off campus. Includes university-owned off-campus housing, if the place is

reserved exclusively for occupancy by college students who do not have their families living with

them. In census products, people in this category are classified as living in a college dormitory.

College dormitories. Includes college students in dormitories (provided the dormitory is restricted

to students who do not have their families living with them), fraternity and sorority houses, and

on-campus residential quarters used exclusively for those in religious orders who are attending

college. College dormitory housing includes university-owned, on-campus and off-campus

housing for unmarried residents.

Military quarters. Includes military personnel living in barracks and dormitories on base,

transient quarters on base for temporary residents (both civilian and military), and military ships.

However, patients in military hospitals receiving treatment for chronic diseases or who had no

usual home elsewhere, and people being held in military disciplinary barracks were included as

part of the institutionalized population.

Agriculture workers’ dormitories. Includes people in migratory farm workers’ camps on farms,

bunkhouses for ranch hands, and other dormitories on farms, such as those on ‘‘tree farms.’’ (A

tree farm is an area of forest land managed to ensure continuous commercial production.)

Other workers’ dormitories. Includes people in logging camps, construction workers’ camps,

firehouse dormitories, job-training camps, energy enclaves (Alaska only), and nonfarm migratory

workers’ camps (for example, workers in mineral and mining camps).

B–14 Definitions of Subject Characteristics

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Dormitories for nurses and interns in general and military hospitals. Includes group quarters for

nurses and other staff members, excluding patients. If not shown separately, dormitories for

nurses and interns in general and military hospitals are included in the category ‘‘Staff Residents

of Institutions.’’

Job corps and vocational training facilities. Includes facilities that provide a full-time, year-round

residential program offering a comprehensive array of training, education, and supportive

services, including supervised dormitory housing, meals, and counseling for at-risk youth ages 16

through 24.

Emergency and transitional shelters (with sleeping facilities). Includes people without

conventional housing who stayed overnight on March 27, 2000, in permanent and emergency

housing, missions, Salvation Army shelters, transitional shelters, hotels and motels used to

shelter people without conventional housing, and similar places known to have people without

conventional housing staying overnight. Also included are shelters that operate on a first come,

first-serve basis where people must leave in the morning and have no guaranteed bed for the next

night OR where people know that they have a bed for a specified period of time (even if they

leave the building every day). Shelters also include facilities that provide temporary shelter during

extremely cold weather (such as churches). If shown, this category also includes shelters for

children who are runaways, neglected, or without conventional housing.

Shelters for children who are runaways, neglected, or without conventional housing. Includes

shelters/group homes that provide temporary sleeping facilities for juveniles. In census products,

this category is included with emergency and transitional housing.

Shelters for abused women (shelters against domestic violence or family crisis centers). Includes

community-based homes or shelters that provide domiciliary care for women who have sought

shelter from family violence and who may have been physically abused. Most shelters also

provide care for children of abused women. These shelters may provide social services, meals,

psychiatric treatment, and counseling. In census products, this category is included with ‘‘other

noninstitutional group quarters.’’

Soup kitchens. Includes soup kitchens, food lines, and programs distributing prepared breakfasts,

lunches, or dinners on March 28, 2000. These programs may be organized as food service lines,

bag or box lunches, or tables where people are seated, then served by program personnel. These

programs may or may not have a place for clients to sit and eat the meal. In census products, this

category is included with ‘‘other noninstitutional group quarters.’’ This category excludes regularly

scheduled mobile food vans.

Targeted nonsheltered outdoor locations. Includes geographically identifiable outdoor locations

open to the elements where there is evidence that people who do not usually receive services at

soup kitchens, shelters, and mobile food vans lived on March 29, 2000, without paying to stay

there. Sites must have a specific location description that allowed a census enumeration team to

physically locate the site; for example, ‘‘the Brooklyn Bridge at the corner of Bristol Drive’’ or ‘‘the

700 block of Taylor Street behind the old warehouse.’’ Excludes pay-for-use campgrounds; drop-in

centers; post offices; hospital emergency rooms; and commercial sites, including all-night theaters

and all-night diners. In census products, this category is included with ‘‘other noninstitutional

group quarters.’’

Crews of maritime vessels. Includes officers, crew members, and passengers of maritime U.S. flag

vessels. All ocean-going and Great Lakes ships are included.

Residential facilities providing ‘‘protective oversight.’’ Includes facilities providing assistance to

people with disabilities.

Staff residents of institutions. Includes staff residing in military and nonmilitary group quarters on

institutional grounds who provide formally authorized, supervised care or custody for the

institutionalized population.

Definitions of Subject Characteristics B–15

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Other nonhousehold living situations. Includes people with no usual home elsewhere enumerated

at locations such as YMCAs, YWCAs, and hostels. People enumerated at those places that did not

have a usual home elsewhere are included in this category.

Living quarters for victims of natural disasters. Includes living quarters for people temporarily

displaced by natural disasters.

Comparability. For Census 2000, the definition of the institutionalized population was

consistent with the definition used in the 1990 census. As in 1990, the definition of ‘‘care’’ only

includes people under organized medical or formally authorized, supervised care or custody. In

Census 2000, the 1990 and 1980 rule of classifying ten or more unrelated people living together

as living in noninstitutional group quarters was dropped. In 1970, the criteria was six or more

unrelated people.

Several changes have occurred in the tabulation of specific types of group quarters. In Census

2000, police lockups were included with local jails and other confinement facilities, and homes for

unwed mothers were included in ‘‘Other group homes’’; in 1990, these categories were shown

separately. For the first time, Census 2000 tabulates separately the following types of group

quarters: military hospitals or wards for the chronically ill, other hospitals or wards for the

chronically ill, hospices or homes for the chronically ill, wards in military hospitals with patients

who have no usual home elsewhere, wards in general hospitals with patients who have no usual

home elsewhere, and job corps and vocational training facilities. For Census 2000, rooming and

boarding houses were classified as housing units rather than group quarters as in 1990.

As in 1990, workers’ dormitories were classified as group quarters regardless of the number of

people sharing the dormitory. In 1980, ten or more unrelated people had to share the dorm for it

to be classified as a group quarters. In 1960, data on people in military barracks were shown only

for men. In subsequent censuses, they include both men and women.

The phrase ‘‘institutionalized persons’’ in 1990 data products was changed to ‘‘institutionalized

population’’ for Census 2000. In 1990, the Census Bureau used the phrase ‘‘other persons in

group quarters’’ for people living in noninstitutional group quarters. In 2000, this group is

referred to as the ‘‘noninstitutionalized population.’’ The phrase ‘‘staff residents’’ was used for

staff living in institutions in both 1990 and 2000.

In Census 2000, the category ‘‘emergency and transitional shelters’’ includes emergency shelters,

transitional shelters, and shelters for children who are runaways, neglected, or without

conventional housing. Those people tabulated at shelters for abused women, soup kitchens,

regularly scheduled mobile food vans, and targeted nonsheltered outdoor locations were included

in the category ‘‘other noninstitutional group quarters.’’ Each of these categories were enumerated

from March 27-29, 2000, during Service-Based enumeration. (For more information on the

‘‘Service-Based Enumeration’’ operation, see ‘‘Collection and Processing Procedures.’’)

HISPANIC OR LATINO

The data on the Hispanic or Latino population were derived from answers to questionnaire Item 5.

The terms ‘‘Spanish,’’ ‘‘Hispanic origin,’’ and ‘‘Latino’’ are used interchangeably. Some respondents

identify with all three terms, while others may identify with only one of these three specific terms.

Hispanics or Latinos who identify with the terms ‘‘Spanish,’’ ‘‘Hispanic,’’ or ‘‘Latino’’ are those who

classify themselves in one of the specific Hispanic or Latino categories listed on the questionnaire

— ‘‘Mexican,’’ ‘‘Puerto Rican,’’ or ‘‘Cuban’’ — as well as those who indicate that they are ‘‘other

Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino.’’ People who do not identify with one of the specific origins listed on

the questionnaire but indicate that they are ‘‘other Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino’’ are those whose

origins are from Spain, the Spanish-speaking countries of Central or South America, the Dominican

Republic, or people identifying themselves generally as Spanish, Spanish-American, Hispanic,

Hispano, Latino, and so on. All write-in responses to the ‘‘other Spanish/Hispanic/Latino’’ category

were coded.

B–16 Definitions of Subject Characteristics

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Origin can be viewed as the heritage, nationality group, lineage, or country of birth of the person

or the person’s parents or ancestors before their arrival in the United States. People who identify

their origin as Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino may be of any race.

Some tabulations are shown by the origin of the householder. In all cases where the origin of

households, families, or occupied housing units is classified as Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino, the

origin of the householder is used. (For more information, see the discussion of householder under

‘‘Household Type and Relationship.’’)

If an individual could not provide a Hispanic origin response, their origin was assigned using

specific rules of precedence of household relationship. For example, if origin was missing for a

natural-born daughter in the household, then either the origin of the householder, another

natural-born child, or the spouse of the householder was assigned. If Hispanic origin was not

reported for anyone in the household, the origin of a householder in a previously processed

household with the same race was assigned. This procedure is a variation of the general

imputation procedures described in ‘‘Accuracy of the Data,’’ and is similar to those used in 1990,

except that for Census 2000, race and Spanish surnames were used to assist in assigning an

origin. (For more information, see the ‘‘Comparability’’ section below.)

Comparability. The 2000 data on Hispanic origin are generally comparable with those for the

1990 census. However, there are some important differences in the format of the Hispanic origin

question between the two censuses worth noting. First, the sequence of the race and Hispanic

origin questions for Census 2000 differs from that in 1990; in 1990, the race question preceded

the Hispanic origin question. Testing prior to Census 2000 indicated that response to the Hispanic

origin question could be improved by placing it before the race question without affecting the

response to the race question. Second, there is an instruction preceding the Hispanic origin

question indicating that respondents should answer both the Hispanic origin question and the

race question. This instruction was added to give emphasis to the distinct concepts of the

Hispanic origin and race questions and to emphasize the need for both pieces of information.

Third, the term ‘‘Latino’’ was added to the 2000 Hispanic origin question and the word ‘‘origin’’

was deleted from the 2000 wording. In addition, the response category ‘‘Yes, Dominican

(Dominican Republic) was deleted and replaced with ‘‘Yes, Mexican, Mexican Am., Chicano.’’

Finally, Spanish/Hispanic write-in examples also were deleted from the 2000 Hispanic origin

question.

Furthermore, there has been a change in the processing of the Hispanic origin and race responses.

In 1990, the Hispanic origin question and the race question had separate edits; therefore,

although information may have been present on the questionnaire, it was not fully utilized due to

the discreet nature of the edits. However, for Census 2000, there was a joint race and Hispanic

origin edit which, for example, made use of race responses in the Hispanic origin question to

impute a race if none was given.

HOUSEHOLD TYPE AND RELATIONSHIP

Household

A household includes all of the people who occupy a housing unit. (People not living in

households are classified as living in group quarters.) A housing unit is a house, an apartment, a

mobile home, a group of rooms, or a single room occupied (or if vacant, intended for occupancy)

as separate living quarters. Separate living quarters are those in which the occupants live

separately from any other people in the building and that have direct access from the outside of

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 people who

share living quarters.

Average household size. A measure obtained by dividing the number of people in households

by the total number of households (or householders). In cases where household members are

tabulated by race or Hispanic origin, household members are classified by the race or Hispanic

origin of the householder rather than the race or Hispanic origin of each individual. Average

household size is rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Definitions of Subject Characteristics B–17

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Relationship to Householder

Householder. The data on relationship to householder were derived from the question, ‘‘How is

this person related to Person 1,’’ which was asked of Persons 2 and higher in housing units. One

person in each household is designated as the householder (Person 1). In most cases, the

householder is the person, or one of the people, in whose name the home is owned, being

bought, or rented. If there is no such person in the household, any adult household member 15

years old and over could be designated as the householder (i.e., Person 1).

Households are classified by type according to the sex of the householder and the presence of

relatives. Two types of householders are distinguished: family householders and nonfamily

householders. A family householder is a householder living with one or more individuals related

to him or her by birth, marriage, or adoption. The householder and all of the people in the

household related to him or her are family members. A nonfamily householder is a householder

living alone or with nonrelatives only.

Spouse (husband/wife). A spouse (husband/wife) is a person married to and living with a

householder. People in formal marriages, as well as people in common-law marriages, are

included. The number of spouses is equal to the number of ‘‘married-couple families’’ or

‘‘married-couple households.’’

Child. A child is a son or daughter by birth, a stepchild, or an adopted child of the householder,

regardless of the child’s age or marital status. The category excludes sons-in-law, daughters-inlaw, and foster children.

Natural-born son/daughter. Natural-born son/daughter includes a son or daughter of the

householder by birth, regardless of the age of the child.

Adopted son/daughter. Adopted son/daughter includes a son or daughter of the householder by

legal adoption, regardless of the age of the child. If a stepson/stepdaughter of the householder

has been legally adopted by the householder, the child is then classified as an adopted child.

Stepson/stepdaughter. Stepson/stepdaughter includes a son or daughter of the householder

through marriage but not by birth, regardless of the age of the child. If a stepson/stepdaughter of

the householder has been legally adopted by the householder, the child is then classified as an

adopted child.

Own child. Own child is a never-married child under 18 years who is a son or daughter of the

householder by birth, marriage (a stepchild), or adoption.

In certain tabulations, own children are further classified as living with two parents or with one

parent only. Own children living with two parents are by definition found only in married-couple

families. In a subfamily, an ‘‘own child’’ is a child under 18 years old who is a natural-born child,

stepchild, or an adopted child of a mother in a mother-child subfamily, a father in father-child

subfamily, or either spouse in a married-couple subfamily. (Note: In the tabulation under

‘‘EMPLOYMENT STATUS’’ of own children under 6 years by employment status of parents, the

number of ‘‘own children’’ includes any child under 6 years old in a family or a subfamily who is a

son or daughter, by birth, marriage, or adoption, of a member of the householder’s family, but not

necessarily of the householder.)

Related children. Related children include the sons and daughters of the householder (including

natural-born, adopted, or stepchildren) and all other people under 18 years old, regardless of

marital status, in the household, who are related to the householder, except the spouse of the

householder. Foster children are not included since they are not related to the householder.

Other relatives. Other relatives include any household member related to the householder by

birth, marriage, or adoption, but not included specifically in another relationship category. In

certain detailed tabulations, the following categories may be shown:

Grandchild. A grandchild is a grandson or granddaughter of the householder.

B–18 Definitions of Subject Characteristics

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Brother/sister. Brother/sister refers to the brother or sister of the householder, including

stepbrothers, stepsisters, and brothers and sisters by adoption. Brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law

are included in the ‘‘Other relative’’ category on the questionnaire.

Parent. Parent refers to the father or mother of the householder, including a stepparent or

adoptive parent. Fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law are included in the ‘‘Parent-in-law’’ category on

the questionnaire.

Parent-in-law. A parent-in-law is the mother-in-law or father-in-law of the householder.

Son-in-law/daughter-in-law. A son-in-law/daughter-in-law, by definition, is a spouse of the child of

the householder.

Other relatives. Other relatives include anyone not listed in a reported category above who is

related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption (brother-in-law, grandparent, nephew,

aunt, cousin, and so forth).

Nonrelatives. Nonrelatives include any household member not related to the householder by

birth, marriage, or adoption, including foster children. The following categories may be presented

in more detailed tabulations:

Roomer, boarder. A roomer or boarder is a person who lives in a room in the household of

Person 1 (householder). Some sort of cash or noncash payment (e.g., chores) is usually made for

their living accommodations.

Housemate or roommate. A housemate or roommate is a person who is not related to the

householder and who shares living quarters primarily to share expenses.

Unmarried partner. An unmarried partner is a person who is not related to the householder, who

shares living quarters, and who has a close personal relationship with the householder.

Foster child. A foster child is a person who is under 18 years old placed by the local government

in a household to receive parental care. They may be living in the household for just a brief period

or for several years. Foster children are nonrelatives of the householder. If the foster child is also

related to the householder, the child should be classified as that specific relative.

Other nonrelatives. Other nonrelatives includes individuals who are not related by birth,

marriage, or adoption to the householder and who are not described by the categories given

above.

Unrelated Individual

An unrelated individual is: (1) a householder living alone or with nonrelatives only, (2) a

household member who is not related to the householder, or (3) a person living in group quarters

who is not an inmate of an institution.

Family Type

A family includes a householder and one or more other people living in the same household who

are related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption. All people in a household who are

related to the householder are regarded as members of his or her family. A family household may

contain people not related to the householder, but those people are not included as part of the

householder’s family in census tabulations. Thus, the number of family households is equal to the

number of families, but family households may include more members than do families. A

household can contain only one family for purposes of census tabulations. Not all households

contain families since a household may be comprised of a group of unrelated people or of one

person living alone.

Families are classified by type as either a ‘‘married-couple family’’ or ‘‘other family’’ according to

the presence of a spouse. ‘‘Other family’’ is further broken out according to the sex of the

householder.

Definitions of Subject Characteristics B–19

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Married-couple family. This category includes a family in which the householder and his or her

spouse are enumerated as members of the same household.

Other family:

Male householder, no wife present. This category includes a family with a male maintaining a

household with no wife of the householder present.

Female householder, no husband present. This category includes a family with a female

maintaining a household with no husband of the householder present.

Nonfamily household. This category includes a householder living alone or with nonrelatives

only.

Average family size. A measure obtained by dividing the number of people in families by the

total number of families (or family householders). In cases where this measure is tabulated by

race or Hispanic origin, the race or Hispanic origin refers to that of the householder rather than to

the race or Hispanic origin of each individual. Average family size is rounded to the nearest

hundredth.

Subfamily

A subfamily is a married couple with or without own children under 18 years old who are

never-married, or a single parent with one or more own never-married children under 18 years

old. A subfamily does not maintain their own household, but lives in a household where the

householder or householder’s spouse is a relative. Subfamilies are defined during the processing

of the data.

In some labor force tabulations, both one-parent families and one-parent subfamilies are included

in the total number of children living with one parent, while both married-couple families and

married-couple subfamilies are included in the total number of children living with two parents.

Unmarried-Partner Household

An unmarried-partner household is a household that includes a householder and an ‘‘unmarried

partner.’’ An ‘‘unmarried partner’’ can be of the same or of the opposite sex of the householder. An

‘‘unmarried partner’’ in an ‘‘unmarried-partner household’’ is an adult who is unrelated to the

householder, but shares living quarters and has a close personal relationship with the

householder. An unmarried-partner household may also be a family household or a nonfamily

household, depending on the presence or absence of another person in the household who is

related to the householder. There may be only one unmarried-partner per household, and an

unmarried partner may not be included in a married-couple household as the householder cannot

have both a spouse and an unmarried partner.

Comparability. The 1990 relationship category, ‘‘Natural-born or adopted son/daughter’’ has

been replaced by ‘‘Natural-born son/daughter’’ and ‘‘Adopted son/daughter.’’ The following

categories were added in Census 2000: ‘‘Parent-in-law’’ and ‘‘Son-in-law/daughter-in-law.’’ The

1990 nonrelative category, ‘‘Roomer, boarder, or foster child’’ was replaced by two categories:

‘‘Roomer, boarder’’ and ‘‘Foster child.’’ In 2000, foster children had to be in the local government’s

foster care system to be so classified. In 1990, foster children were estimated to be those children

in households who were not related to the householder and for whom there were no people 18

years old and over who may have been their parents. In 1990, stepchildren who were adopted by

the householder were still classified as stepchildren. In 2000, stepchildren who were legally

adopted by the householder were classified as adopted children. Some tables may show

relationship to householder and be labeled ‘‘child.’’ These tabulations include all marital status

categories of natural-born, adopted, or stepchildren. Because of changes in editing procedures,

same sex unmarried-partner households in 1990 should not compared with same sex

unmarried-partner households in Census 2000.

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
INCOME IN 1999

The data on income in 1999 were derived from answers to questionnaire Items 32 and 33, which

were asked of the population 15 years old and over. ‘‘Total income’’ is the sum of the amounts

reported separately for wage or salary income; net self-employment income; interest, dividends,

or net rental or royalty income or income from estates and trusts; social security or railroad

retirement income; Supplemental Security Income (SSI); public assistance or welfare payments;

retirement, survivor, or disability pensions; and all other income.

‘‘Earnings’’ are defined as the sum of wage or salary income and net income from selfemployment. ‘‘Earnings’’ represent the amount of income received regularly for people 16 years

old and over before deductions for personal income taxes, social security, bond purchases, union

dues, medicare deductions, etc.

Receipts from the following sources are not included as income: capital gains, money received

from the sale of property (unless the recipient was engaged in the business of selling such

property); the value of income ‘‘in kind’’ from food stamps, public housing subsidies, medical care,

employer contributions for individuals, etc.; withdrawal of bank deposits; money borrowed; tax

refunds; exchange of money between relatives living in the same household; and gifts and

lump-sum inheritances, insurance payments, and other types of lump-sum receipts.

Income Type in 1999

The eight types of income reported in the census are defined as follows:

1. Wage or salary income. Wage or salary income includes total money earnings received for

work performed as an employee during the calendar year 1999. It includes wages, salary,

armed forces pay, commissions, tips, piece-rate payments, and cash bonuses earned before

deductions were made for taxes, bonds, pensions, union dues, etc.

2. Self-employment income. Self-employment income includes both farm and nonfarm

self-employment income. Nonfarm self-employment income includes net money income (gross

receipts minus expenses) from one’s own business, professional enterprise, or partnership.

Gross receipts include the value of all goods sold and services rendered. Expenses include

costs of goods purchased, rent, heat, light, power, depreciation charges, wages and salaries

paid, business taxes (not personal income taxes), etc. Farm self-employment income includes

net money income (gross receipts minus operating expenses) from the operation of a farm by

a person on his or her own account, as an owner, renter, or sharecropper. Gross receipts

include the value of all products sold, government farm programs, money received from the

rental of farm equipment to others, and incidental receipts from the sale of wood, sand,

gravel, etc. Operating expenses include cost of feed, fertilizer, seed, and other farming

supplies, cash wages paid to farmhands, depreciation charges, cash rent, interest on farm

mortgages, farm building repairs, farm taxes (not state and federal personal income taxes),

etc. The value of fuel, food, or other farm products used for family living is not included as

part of net income.

3. Interest, dividends, or net rental income. Interest, dividends, or net rental income

includes interest on savings or bonds, dividends from stockholdings or membership in

associations, net income from rental of property to others and receipts from boarders or

lodgers, net royalties, and periodic payments from an estate or trust fund.

4. Social security income. Social security income includes social security pensions and

survivors benefits, permanent disability insurance payments made by the Social Security

Administration prior to deductions for medical insurance, and railroad retirement insurance

checks from the U.S. government. Medicare reimbursements are not included.

5. Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a nationwide

U.S. assistance program administered by the Social Security Administration that guarantees a

minimum level of income for needy aged, blind, or disabled individuals. The census

questionnaire for Puerto Rico asked about the receipt of SSI; however, SSI is not a federally

administered program in Puerto Rico. Therefore, it is probably not being interpreted by most

Definitions of Subject Characteristics B–21

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
respondents as the same as SSI in the United States. The only way a resident of Puerto Rico

could have appropriately reported SSI would have been if they lived in the United States at any

time during calendar year 1999 and received SSI.

6. Public assistance income. Public assistance income includes general assistance and

Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF). Separate payments received for hospital or

other medical care (vendor payments) are excluded. This does not include Supplemental

Security Income (SSI).

7. Retirement income. Retirement income includes: (1) retirement pensions and survivor

benefits from a former employer; labor union; or federal, state, or local government; and the

U.S. military; (2) income from workers’ compensation; disability income from companies or

unions; federal, state, or local government; and the U.S. military; (3) periodic receipts from

annuities and insurance; and (4) regular income from IRA and KEOGH plans. This does not

include social security income.

8. All other income. All other income includes unemployment compensation, Veterans’

Administration (VA) payments, alimony and child support, contributions received periodically

from people not living in the household, military family allotments, and other kinds of

periodic income other than earnings.

Income of households. This includes the income of the householder and all other individuals

15 years old and over in the household, whether they are related to the householder or not.

Because many households consist of only one person, average household income is usually less

than average family income. Although the household income statistics cover calendar year 1999,

the characteristics of individuals and the composition of households refer to the time of

enumeration (April 1, 2000). Thus, the income of the household does not include amounts

received by individuals who were members of the household during all or part of calendar year

1999 if these individuals no longer resided in the household at the time of enumeration. Similarly,

income amounts reported by individuals who did not reside in the household during 1999 but

who were members of the household at the time of enumeration are included. However, the

composition of most households was the same during 1999 as at the time of enumeration.

Income of families. In compiling statistics on family income, the incomes of all members 15

years old and over related to the householder are summed and treated as a single amount.

Although the family income statistics cover calendar year 1999, the characteristics of individuals

and the composition of families refer to the time of enumeration (April 1, 2000). Thus, the income

of the family does not include amounts received by individuals who were members of the family

during all or part of calendar year 1999 if these individuals no longer resided with the family at

the time of enumeration. Similarly, income amounts reported by individuals who did not reside

with the family during 1999 but who were members of the family at the time of enumeration are

included. However, the composition of most families was the same during 1999 as at the time of

enumeration.

Income of individuals. Income for individuals is obtained by summing the eight types of

income for each person 15 years old and over. The characteristics of individuals are based on the

time of enumeration (April 1, 2000), even though the amounts are for calendar year 1999.

Median income. The median divides the income distribution into two equal parts: one-half of

the cases falling below the median income and one-half above the median. For households and

families, the median income is based on the distribution of the total number of households and

families including those with no income. The median income for individuals is based on

individuals 15 years old and over with income. Median income for households, families, and

individuals is computed on the basis of a standard distribution (see the ‘‘Standard Distributions’’

section under ‘‘Derived Measures’’). Median income is rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Median

income figures are calculated using linear interpolation if the width of the interval containing the

estimate is $2,500 or less. If the width of the interval containing the estimate is greater than

$2,500, Pareto interpolation is used. (For more information on medians and interpolation, see

‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

B–22 Definitions of Subject Characteristics

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Aggregate income. Aggregate income is the sum of all incomes for a particular universe.

Aggregate income is subject to rounding, which means that all cells in a matrix are rounded to the

nearest hundred dollars. (For more information, see ‘‘Aggregate’’ under ‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

Mean income. Mean income is the amount obtained by dividing the aggregate income of a

particular statistical universe by the number of units in that universe. Thus, mean household

income is obtained by dividing total household income by the total number of households. (The

aggregate used to calculate mean income is rounded. For more information, see ‘‘Aggregate

income.’’)

For the various types of income, the means are based on households having those types of

income. For households and families, the mean income is based on the distribution of the total

number of households and families including those with no income. The mean income for

individuals is based on individuals 15 years old and over with income. Mean income is rounded to

the nearest whole dollar.

Care should be exercised in using and interpreting mean income values for small subgroups of

the population. Because the mean is influenced strongly by extreme values in the distribution, it is

especially susceptible to the effects of sampling variability, misreporting, and processing errors.

The median, which is not affected by extreme values, is, therefore, a better measure than the

mean when the population base is small. The mean, nevertheless, is shown in some data products

for most small subgroups because, when weighted according to the number of cases, the means

can be added to obtained summary measures for areas and groups other than those shown in

census tabulations. (For more information on means, see ‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

Earnings. Earnings are defined as the sum of wage or salary income and net income from

self-employment. ‘‘Earnings’’ represent the amount of income received regularly for people 16

years old and over before deductions for personal income taxes, social security, bond purchases,

union dues, medicare deductions, etc.

Median earnings. The median divides the earnings distribution into two equal parts: one-half of

the cases falling below the median earnings and one-half above the median. Median earnings is

restricted to individuals 16 years old and over and is computed on the basis of a standard

distribution (see the ‘‘Standard Distributions’’ section under ‘‘Derived Measures’’). Median earnings

figures are calculated using linear interpolation if the width of the interval containing the estimate

is $2,500 or less. If the width of the interval containing the estimate is greater than $2,500,

Pareto interpolation is used. (For more information on medians and interpolation, see ‘‘Derived

Measures.’’)

Aggregate earnings. Aggregate earnings are the sum of wage/salary and net self-employment

income for a particular universe of people 16 years old and over. Aggregate earnings are subject

to rounding, which means that all cells in a matrix are rounded to the nearest hundred dollars.

(For more information, see ‘‘Aggregate’’ under ‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

Mean earnings. Mean earnings is calculated by dividing aggregate earnings by the population

16 years old and over with earnings. (The aggregate used to calculate mean earnings is rounded.

For more information, see ‘‘Aggregate earnings.’’) Mean earnings is rounded to the nearest whole

dollar. (For more information on means, see ‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

Per capita income. Per capita income is the mean income computed for every man, woman, and

child in a particular group. It is derived by dividing the total income of a particular group by the

total population in that group. (The aggregate used to calculate per capita income is rounded. For

more information, see ‘‘Aggregate’’ under ‘‘Derived Measures.’’) Per capita income is rounded to

the nearest whole dollar. (For more information on means, see ‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

Limitation of the data. Since answers to income questions are frequently based on memory

and not on records, many people tended to forget minor or sporadic sources of income and,

therefore, underreport their income. Underreporting tends to be more pronounced for income

sources that are not derived from earnings, such as public assistance, interest, dividends, and net

rental income.

Definitions of Subject Characteristics B–23

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Extensive computer editing procedures were instituted in the data processing operation to reduce

some of these reporting errors and to improve the accuracy of the income data. These procedures

corrected various reporting deficiencies and improved the consistency of reported income items

associated with work experience and information on occupation and class of worker. For example,

if people reported they were self employed on their own farm, not incorporated, but had reported

wage and salary earnings only, the latter amount was shifted to self-employment income. Also, if

any respondent reported total income only, the amount was generally assigned to one of the

types of income items according to responses to the work experience and class-of-worker

questions. Another type of problem involved nonreporting of income data. Where income

information was not reported, procedures were devised to impute appropriate values with either

no income or positive or negative dollar amounts for the missing entries. (For more information

on imputation, see ‘‘Accuracy of the Data.’’)

In income tabulations for households and families, the lowest income group (for example, less

than $2,500) includes units that were classified as having no 1999 income. Many of these were

living on income ‘‘in kind,’’ savings, or gifts, were newly created families, or were families in

which the sole breadwinner had recently died or left the household. However, many of the

households and families who reported no income probably had some money income that was not

reported in the census.

Comparability. The income data collected in the 2000 census are almost identical to the 1990

data. The only exception is the ‘‘public assistance’’ question. In 1990, this question asked

respondents to report (1) Supplementary Security Income (SSI) payments made by federal or state

welfare agencies to low income persons who were aged (65 years old or over), blind, or disabled;

(2) Aid to Families With Dependent Children (AFDC), and (3) general assistance. In 2000, we asked

the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) question separately from the general assistance question.

All references to AFDC were dropped due to changes in the welfare programs during the 1990s. In

2000, each person 15 years old or older was asked to report:

• Wage or salary income

• Net self-employment income

• Interest, dividend, or net rental or royalty income

• Social Security or Railroad Retirement income

• Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

• Public assistance income

• Retirement, survivor, or disability pensions

• Income from all other sources

Between the 1980, 1990, and 2000 censuses, there were minor differences in the processing of

the data. In all three censuses, all people with missing values in one or more of the detailed type

of income items and total income were designated as allocated. Each missing entry was imputed

as a ‘‘no’’ or as a dollar amount. If total income was reported and one or more of the type of

income fields was not answered, then the entry in total income generally was assigned to one of

the income types according to the socioeconomic characteristics of the income recipient. This

person was designated as unallocated.

In 1980, 1990, and 2000, all nonrespondents with income not reported (whether heads of

households or other persons) were assigned the reported income of persons with similar

characteristics. (For more information on imputation, see ‘‘Accuracy of the Data.’’)

There was a difference in the method of computer derivation of aggregate income from individual

amounts between the three census processing operations. In the 1980 census, income amounts

less than $100,000 were coded in tens of dollars and amounts of $100,000 or more were coded

in thousands of dollars; $5 was added to each amount coded in thousands of dollars. Entries of

$999,000 or more were treated as $999,500 and losses of $9,999 or more were treated as minus

B–24 Definitions of Subject Characteristics

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
$9,999. In both the 1990 and 2000 censuses, income amounts less than $999,999 were entered

in dollars. Amounts of $999,999 or more were treated as $999,999 and losses of $9,999 or more

were treated as minus $9,999 in all of the computer derivations of aggregate income.

In 1970, each person 14 years old and over was required to report:

• Wage or salary income

• Net nonfarm self-employment income

• Net farm self-employment income

• Social security or railroad retirement income

• Public assistance or welfare payments

• Income from all other sources

If a person reported a dollar amount in wage or salary or net self-employment, the person was

considered unallocated only if no further dollar amounts were imputed for any additional missing

entries.

In 1960, all people 14 years old and over were required to report wage or salary income, net

self-employment income, and income other than earnings received in 1959. An assumption was

made in the editing process that no other type of income was received by a person who reported

the receipt of either wage and salary income or self-employment but who had failed to report the

receipt of other money income.

INDUSTRY, OCCUPATION, AND CLASS OF WORKER

The data on industry, occupation, and class of worker were derived from answers to questionnaire

Items 28, 29, and 30 respectively, which were asked of the population 15 years old and over.

Information on industry relates to the kind of business conducted by a person’s employing

organization; occupation describes the kind of work a person does on the job.

For employed people, the data refer to the person’s job during the reference week. For those who

worked at two or more jobs, the data refer to the job at which the person worked the greatest

number of hours during the reference week. For unemployed people, the data refer to their last

job. The industry and occupation statistics are derived from the detailed classification systems

developed for Census 2000 as described below.

Respondents provided the data for the tabulations by writing on the questionnaires descriptions

of their industry and occupation. All cases were coded by clerical staff, who converted the

written questionnaire responses to codes by comparing these responses to entries in the

Alphabetical Index of Industries and Occupations. For the industry code, these coders also

referred to an Employer Name List. This list, prepared from the American Business Index (ABI),

contained the names of business establishments and their North American Industrial Classification

System (NAICS) codes converted to population census equivalents. This list facilitated coding and

maintained industrial classification comparability.

Industry

The industry classification system used during Census 2000 was developed for the census and

consists of 265 categories for employed people, classified into 14 major industry groups. From

1940 through 1990, the industrial classification has been based on the Standard Industrial

Classification (SIC) Manual. The Census 2000 classification was developed from the 1997 North

American Industry Classification System (NAICS) published by the Office of Management and

Budget, Executive Office of the President. NAICS is an industry description system that groups

establishments into industries based on the activities in which they are primarily engaged.

Definitions of Subject Characteristics B–25

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
The NAICS differs from most industry classifications because it is a supply-based, or

production-oriented economic concept. Census data, which were collected from households, differ

in detail and nature from those obtained from establishment surveys. Therefore, the census

classification system, while defined in NAICS terms, cannot reflect the full detail in all categories.

NAICS shows a more detailed hierarchical structure than that used for Census 2000. The

expansion from 11 divisions in the SIC to 20 sectors in the NAICS provides groupings that are

meaningful and useful for economic analysis. Various statistical programs that previously sampled

or published at the SIC levels face problems with the coverage for 20 sectors instead of 11

divisions. These programs requested an alternative aggregation structure for production purposes

which was approved and issued by the Office of Management and Budget on May 15, 2001, in the

clarification Memorandum No. 2, ‘‘NAICS Alternate Aggregation Structure for Use by U.S. Statistical

Agencies.’’ Several census data products will use the alternative aggregation, while others, such as

Summary File 3 and Summary File 4, will use more detail.

Occupation

The occupational classification system used during Census 2000 consists of 509 specific

occupational categories for employed people arranged into 23 major occupational groups. This

classification was developed based on the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) Manual:

2000, which includes a hierarchical structure showing 23 major occupational groups divided into

96 minor groups, 449 broad groups, and 821 detailed occupations. For Census 2000, tabulations

with occupation as the primary characteristic present several levels of occupational detail.

Some occupation groups are related closely to certain industries. Operators of transportation

equipment, farm operators and workers, and healthcare providers account for major portions of

their respective industries of transportation, agriculture, and health care. However, the industry

categories include people in other occupations. For example, people employed in agriculture

include truck drivers and bookkeepers; people employed in the transportation industry include

mechanics, freight handlers, and payroll clerks; and people employed in the health care industry

include occupations such as security guard and secretary.

Class of Worker

The data on class of worker were derived from answers to questionnaire Item 30. The information

on class of worker refers to the same job as a respondent’s industry and occupation, categorizing

people according to the type of ownership of the employing organization. The class of worker

categories are defined as follows:

Private wage and salary workers. Private wage and salary workers include people who worked

for wages, salary, commission, tips, pay-in-kind, or piece rates for a private for-profit employer or

a private not-for-profit, tax-exempt, or charitable organization. Self-employed people whose

business was incorporated are included with private wage and salary workers because they are

paid employees of their own companies. Some tabulations present data separately for these

subcategories: ‘‘for-profit,’’ ‘‘not-for-profit,’’ and ‘‘own business incorporated.’’

Government workers. Government workers includes people who were employees of any federal,

tribal, state, or local governmental unit, regardless of the activity of the particular agency. For

some tabulations, the data were presented separately for federal (includes tribal), state, and local

governments. Employees of foreign governments, the United Nations, or other formal

international organizations were classified as ‘‘federal government,’’ unlike the 1990 census when

they were classified as ‘‘private not-for-profit.’’

Self-employed in own not incorporated business workers. Self-employed in own not incorporated

business workers includes people who worked for profit or fees in their own unincorporated

business, professional practice, or trade, or who operated a farm.

Unpaid family workers. Unpaid family workers includes people who worked 15 hours or more

without pay in a business or on a farm operated by a relative.

B–26 Definitions of Subject Characteristics

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Self-employed in own incorporated business workers. In tabulations, this category is included with

private wage and salary workers because they are paid employees of their own companies.

The industry category, ‘‘Public administration,’’ is limited to regular government functions, such as

legislative, judicial, administrative, and regulatory activities of governments. Other government

organizations, such as schools, hospitals, liquor stores, and bus lines, are classified by industry

according to the activity in which they are engaged. On the other hand, the class of worker

government categories include all government workers.

In some cases, respondents supplied industry, occupation, or class of worker descriptions that

were not sufficiently specific for a precise classification or did not report on these items at all. In

the coding operation, certain types of incomplete entries were corrected using the Alphabetical

Index of Industries and Occupations. For example, it was possible in certain situations to assign

an industry code based on the occupation reported, or vice versa.

Following the coding operations, there was a computer edit and an allocation process. The edit

first determined whether a respondent was in the universe that required an industry and

occupation code. The codes for the three items (industry, occupation, and class of worker) were

checked to ensure they were valid and were edited for their relation to each other. Invalid and

inconsistent codes were either blanked or changed to a consistent code.

If one or more of the three codes was blank after the edit, a code was assigned from a ‘‘similar’’

person based on other items, such as age, sex, education, farm or nonfarm residence, and weeks

worked. If all of the labor force and income data were blank, all of these economic items were

assigned from one other person or one other household who provided all the necessary data.

Comparability. Comparability of industry and occupation data was affected by a number of

factors, primarily the systems used to classify the questionnaire responses. For both the industry

and occupation classification systems, the basic structures were generally the same from 1940 to

1970, but changes in the individual categories limited comparability of the data from one census

to another. These changes were needed to recognize the ‘‘birth’’ of new industries and

occupations, the ‘‘death’’ of others, the growth and decline in existing industries and occupations,

and the desire of analysts and other users for more detail in the presentation of the data. Probably

the greatest cause of noncomparability is the movement of a segment of a category to a different

category in the next census. Changes in the nature of jobs and respondent terminology and

refinement of category composition made these movements necessary. The 1990 occupational

classification system was essentially the same as the 1980 census. However, the industry

classification had minor changes between 1980 and 1990 that reflected changes to the Standard

Industrial Classification (SIC).

In Census 2000, both the industry and occupation classifications had major revisions to reflect

changes to the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) and the Standard

Occupational Classification (SOC). The conversion of the census classifications in 2000 means that

the 2000 classification systems are not comparable to the classifications used in the 1990 census

and earlier.

Other factors that affected data comparability over the decades include the universe to which the

data referred (in 1970, the age cutoff for labor force was changed from 14 years old to 16 years

old); the wording of the industry and occupation questions on the questionnaire (for example,

important changes were made in 1970); improvements in the coding procedures (the Employer

Name List technique was introduced in 1960); and how the ‘‘not reported’’ cases were handled.

Prior to 1970, they were placed in the residual categories, ‘‘industry not reported’’ and

‘‘occupation not reported.’’ In 1970, an allocation process was introduced that assigned these

cases to major groups. In Census 2000, as in 1980 and 1990, the ‘‘not reported’’ cases were

assigned to individual categories. Therefore, the 1980, 1990, and Census 2000 data for individual

categories include some numbers of people who would have been tabulated in a ‘‘not reported’’

category in previous censuses.

The following publications contain information on the various factors affecting comparability and

are particularly useful for understanding differences in the occupation and industry information

from earlier censuses: U.S. Census Bureau, Changes Between the 1950 and 1960 Occupation and

Classification Systems, Technical Paper No. 59, 1988. For citations for earlier census years, see the

1980 Census of Population report, PC80-1-D, Detailed Population Characteristics.

The 1990 census introduced an additional class of worker category for ‘‘private not-for-profit’’

employers, which is also used for Census 2000. This category is a subset of the 1980 category

‘‘employee of private employer’’ so there is no comparable data before 1990. Also in 1990,

employees of foreign governments, the United Nations, etc., were classified as ‘‘private

not-for-profit,’’ rather than ‘‘Federal Government’’ as in 1970, 1980, and Census 2000. While in

theory, there was a change in comparability, in practice, the small number of U.S. residents

working for foreign governments made this change negligible.

Comparability between the statistics on industry and occupation from Census 2000 and statistics

from other sources is affected by many of the factors described in the ‘‘Employment Status’’

section. These factors are primarily geographic differences between residence and place of work,

different dates of reference, and differences in counts because of dual job holdings. Industry data

from population censuses cover all industries and all kinds of workers, whereas, data from

establishments often exclude private household workers, government workers, and the self

employed. Also, the replies from household respondents may have differed in detail and nature

from those obtained from establishments.

Occupation data from the census and data from government licensing agencies, professional

associations, trade unions, etc., may not be as comparable as expected. Organizational listings

often include people not in the labor force or people devoting all or most of their time to another

occupation; or the same person may be included in two or more different listings. In addition,

relatively few organizations, except for those requiring licensing, attained complete coverage of

membership in a particular occupational field.

JOURNEY TO WORK

Place of Work

The data on place of work were derived from answers to questionnaire Item 23, which was asked

of the population 15 years old and over. This question was asked of people who indicated in

question 22 that they worked at some time during the reference week. (For more information, see

‘‘Reference Week.’’)

Data were tabulated for workers 16 years old and over; that is, members of the armed forces and

civilians who were at work during the reference week. Data on place of work refer to the

geographic location at which workers carried out their occupational activities during the reference

week. The name of the general area of the place of work (island in the U.S. Virgin Islands, U.S.

state, commonwealth, territory, or foreign county) was asked, as well as the place (city, town, or

village). If the person’s employer operated in more than one location, the location or branch where

the respondent worked was requested.

Limitation of the data. The data on place of work relate to a reference week; that is, the

calendar week preceding the date on which the respondents completed their questionnaires or

were interviewed by enumerators. This week is not the same for all respondents because the

enumeration was not completed in 1 week.

However, for the majority of people, the reference week for Census 2000 is the week ending with

April 1, 2000. The lack of a uniform reference week means that the place-of-work data reported in

Census 2000 do not exactly match the distribution of workplace locations observed or measured

during an actual work week.

The place-of-work data are estimates of people 16 years old and over who were both employed

and at work during the reference week (including people in the armed forces). People who did not

work during the reference week but had jobs or businesses from which they were temporarily

B–28 Definitions of Subject Characteristics

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
absent due to illness, bad weather, industrial dispute, vacation, or other personal reasons are not

included in the place-of-work data. Therefore, the data on place of work understate the total

number of jobs or total employment in a geographic area during the reference week. It also

should be noted that people who had irregular, casual, or unstructured jobs during the reference

week may have erroneously reported themselves as not working.

The location where the individual worked most often during the reference week was recorded on

the Census 2000 questionnaire. If a worker held two jobs, only data about the primary job (the

one worked the greatest number of hours during the preceding week) was requested. People who

regularly worked in several locations during the reference week were requested to give the

address at which they began work each day. For cases in which daily work was not begun at a

central place each day, the person was asked to provide as much information as possible to

describe the area in which he or she worked most during the reference week.

Comparability. The wording of the question on place of work was substantially the same in

Census 2000 as the 1990 census.

For Census 2000 and the 1990 census, when place of work was not reported or the response was

incomplete, a work location was allocated to the person based on their means of transportation to

work, travel time to work, industry, and location of residence and workplace of others.

Means of Transportation to Work

The data on means of transportation to work were derived from answers to questionnaire Item

24a, which was asked of the population 15 years old and over. This question was asked of people

who indicated in Question 22 that they worked at some time during the reference week. (For more

information, see ‘‘Reference Week.’’) Means of transportation to work refers to the principal mode

of travel or type of conveyance that the worker usually used to get from home to work during the

reference week. Data were tabulated for workers 16 years old and over; that is, members of the

armed forces and civilians who were at work during the reference week.

People who used different means of transportation on different days of the week were asked to

specify the one they used most often, that is, the greatest number of days. People who used more

than one means of transportation to get to work each day were asked to report the one used for

the longest distance during the work trip. The category ‘‘Car, truck, or van — drove alone’’

includes people who usually drove alone to work, as well as people who were driven to work by

someone who then drove back home or to a nonwork destination during the reference week. The

category ‘‘Car, truck, or van — carpooled’’ includes workers who reported that two or more people

usually rode to work in the vehicle during the reference week. The category ‘‘Public

transportation’’ includes workers who usually used a bus, taxicab, safari or taxi bus, ferryboat, or

water taxi during the reference week. The category ‘‘Other means’’ includes workers who used a

mode of travel that is not identified separately. The category ‘‘Other means’’ may vary from table

to table, depending on the amount of detail shown in a particular distribution.

The means of transportation data for some areas may show workers using modes of public

transportation that are not available in those areas (for example, water taxi riders in an area

where there actually is no water taxi service). This result is largely due to people who worked

during the reference week at a location that was different from their usual place of work (such as

people away from home on business in an area where water taxi service was available) and people

who used more than one means of transportation each day but whose principal means was

unavailable where they lived (for example, residents of areas who drove to a location and took the

ferryboat most of the distance to work).

Private Vehicle Occupancy

The data on private vehicle occupancy were derived from answers to questionnaire Item 24b,

which was asked of the population 15 years old and over. This question was asked of people who

indicated in Question 22 that they worked at some time during the reference week and who

Definitions of Subject Characteristics B–29

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
reported in Question 24a that their means of transportation to work was ‘‘Car, truck, or van.’’ (For

more information, see ‘‘Reference Week.’’) Data were tabulated for workers 16 years old and over;

that is, members of the armed forces and civilians who were at work during the reference week.

Private vehicle occupancy refers to the number of people who usually rode to work in the vehicle

during the reference week. The category ‘‘Drove alone,’’ includes people who usually drove alone

to work as well as people who were driven to work by someone who then drove back home or to

a nonwork destination. The category ‘‘Carpooled,’’ includes workers who reported that two or

more people usually rode to work in the vehicle during the reference week.

Workers per car, truck, or van. This is obtained by dividing the number of people who

reported using a car, truck, or van to get to work by the number of such vehicles that they used.

The number of vehicles used is derived by counting each person who drove alone as one vehicle,

each person who reported being in a 2-person carpool as one-half of a vehicle, each person who

reported being in a three-person carpool as one-third of a vehicle, and so on, and then summing

all the vehicles. Workers per car, truck, or van is rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Time Leaving Home to Go to Work

The data on time leaving home to go to work were derived from answers to questionnaire Item

25a, which was asked of the population 15 years old and over. This question was asked of people

who indicated in Question 22 that they worked at some time during the reference week and who

reported in Question 24a that they worked outside their home. The departure time refers to the

time of day that the person usually left home to go to work during the reference week. (For more

information, see ‘‘Reference Week.’’) Data were tabulated for workers 16 years old and over; that

is, members of the armed forces and civilians who were at work during the reference week.

Travel Time to Work

The data on travel time to work were derived from answers to questionnaire Item 25b, which was

asked of the population 15 years old and over. This question was asked of people who indicated

in Question 22 that they worked at some time during the reference week and who reported in

Question 24a that they worked outside their home. Travel time to work refers to the total number

of minutes that it usually took the person to get from home to work each day during the reference

week. The elapsed time includes time spent waiting for public transportation, picking up

passengers in carpools, and time spent in other activities related to getting to work. (For more

information, see ‘‘Reference Week.’’) Data were tabulated for workers 16 years old and over; that

is, members of the armed forces and civilians who were at work during the reference week.

Aggregate travel time to work (minutes). Aggregate travel time to work (minutes) is

calculated by adding together all the number of minutes each worker traveled to work (one way)

for specified travel times and/or means of transportation. Aggregate travel time to work is zero if

the aggregate is zero, is rounded to 4 minutes if the actual aggregate is 1 to 7 minutes, and is

rounded to the nearest multiple of 5 minutes for all other values (if the aggregate is not already

evenly divisible by 5). (For more information, see ‘‘Aggregate’’ under ‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

Mean travel time to work (minutes). Mean travel time to work is the average travel time in

minutes that workers usually took to get from home to work (one way) during the reference week.

This measure is obtained by dividing the total number of minutes taken to get from home to work

by the number of workers 16 years old and over who did not work at home. The travel time

includes time spent waiting for public transportation, picking up passengers in carpools, and time

spent in other activities related to getting to work. Mean travel times of workers having specific

characteristics also are computed. For example, the mean travel time of workers traveling 45 or

more minutes is computed by dividing the aggregate travel time of workers whose travel time

was 45 or more minutes by the number of workers whose travel time was 45 or more minutes.

Mean travel time to work is rounded to the nearest tenth. (For more information on means, see

‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

LANGUAGE SPOKEN AT HOME AND ABILITY TO SPEAK ENGLISH

Language Spoken at Home

Data on language spoken at home were derived from answers to questionnaire Items 10a and

10b. Data were edited to include in tabulations only the population 5 years old and over.

Questions 10a and 10b referred to languages spoken at home in an effort to measure the current

use of languages other than English. People who knew languages other than English but did not

use them at home or who only used them elsewhere were excluded. Most people who reported

speaking a language other than English at home also speak English. The questions did not permit

determination of the primary or dominant language of people who spoke both English and

another language. (For more information, see discussion below on ‘‘Ability to Speak English.’’)

The respondent was asked to mark ‘‘Yes’’ in question 10a if the person sometimes or always

spoke a language other than English at home. People who spoke only English at home were

instructed to answer ‘‘No’’ and to skip the remaining language questions.

For people who indicated that they spoke a language other than English at home in Question 10a,

but failed to specify the name of the language in Question 10b, the language was assigned based

on the language of other speakers in the household, on the language of a person of the same

Spanish origin or detailed race group. People for whom a language other than English was entered

in Question 10b, and for whom Question 10a was blank were assumed to speak that other

language at home.

The responses to Question 10b (specific language spoken) were written in on the questionnaire

and later given a three-digit code using a detailed list of languages which distinguished more than

380 languages or language groups in a separate clerical coding operation. The same list was used

for the 1980 and 1990 censuses. If the respondent listed more than one non-English language,

only the first was coded.

The write-in responses represented the names people used for languages they speak. They may

not match the names or categories used by linguists. The sets of categories used are sometimes

geographic and sometimes linguistic. For the Virgin Islands, several general categories of

languages were used:

• Asian and Pacific Island languages include Chinese, Japanese, Korean, languages of Southeast

Asia such as Vietnamese and Thai, Dravidian languages of India, the Turkic languages,

Philippine, Micronesian and Polynesian languages.

• Indo-European languages include Romance (including French, Patois, French Creole, Italian,

Spanish, and Portuguese), Germanic (including German, Dutch, and Danish), Slavic (including

Russian, Czech, and Polish), and Iranian and Indic languages of India (including Hindi, Sindhi,

and Urdu). When ‘‘French or French Creole’’ is shown separately, it includes French, Patois,

French Creole, and Haitian Creole.

• Other languages include languages of the Middle East and Africa (including Arabic and Hebrew),

and other languages of the Americas (American Indian and Alaska Native languages).

Household language. In households where one or more people (5 years old and over) speak a

language other than English, the household language assigned to all household members is the

non-English language spoken by the first person with a non-English language in the following

order: householder, spouse, parent, sibling, child, grandchild, in-laws, other relatives, stepchild,

unmarried partner, housemate or roommate, and other nonrelatives. Thus, a person who speaks

only English may have a non-English household language assigned to him/her in tabulations of

individuals by household language.

Limitation of the data. Some people who speak a language other than English at home may

have first learned that language at school. However, these people would be expected to indicate

that they spoke English ‘‘Very well.’’ People who speak a language other than English, but do not

do so at home, should have been reported as not speaking a language other than English at

home.

Definitions of Subject Characteristics B–31

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
The extreme detail in which language names were coded may give a false impression of the

linguistic precision of these data. The names used by speakers of a language to identify it may

reflect ethnic, geographic, or political affiliations and do not necessarily respect linguistic

distinctions. The categories shown in the tabulations were chosen on a number of criteria, such as

information about the number of speakers of each language that might be expected in the Virgin

Islands.

Comparability. The language questions are comparable to those asked in the 1990 and 1980

censuses. The language categories shown in the tabulations are slightly different from earlier

censuses.

Ability to Speak English

Data on ability to speak English were derived from the answers to questionnaire Item 10c.

Respondents who reported that they spoke a language other than English in questionnaire Item

10a were asked to indicate their ability to speak English in one of the following categories: ‘‘Very

well,’’ ‘‘Well,’’ ‘‘Not well,’’ or ‘‘Not at all.’’

The data on ability to speak English represent the person’s own perception about his or her own

ability or, because census questionnaires are usually completed by one household member, the

responses may represent the perception of another household member. Respondents were not

instructed on how to interpret the response categories in Question 10c.

People who reported that they spoke a language other than English at home, but whose ability to

speak English was not reported, were assigned the English-language ability of a randomly selected

person of the same age, Hispanic origin, nativity and year of entry, and language group.

Linguistic isolation. A household in which no person 14 years old and over speaks only

English and no person 14 years old and over who speaks a language other than English speaks

English ‘‘Very well’’ is classified as ‘‘linguistically isolated.’’ In other words, a household in which

all members 14 years old and over speak a non-English language and also speak English less than

‘‘Very well’’ (have difficulty with English) is ‘‘linguistically isolated.’’ All the members of a

linguistically isolated household are tabulated as linguistically isolated, including members under

14 years old who may speak only English.

Comparability. The current question on ability to speak English was asked for the first time in

1980. In tabulations from 1980, the categories ‘‘Very well’’ and ‘‘Well’’ were combined. Data from

other surveys suggested a major difference between the category ‘‘Very well’’ and the remaining

categories. In some tabulations showing ability to speak English, people who reported that they

spoke English ‘‘Very well’’ are presented separately from people who reported their ability to speak

English as less than ‘‘Very well.’’

MARITAL STATUS

The data on marital status were derived from answers to questionnaire Item 7. The marital status

classification refers to the status at the time of enumeration. Data on marital status are tabulated

only for the population 15 years old and over.

Each person was asked whether they were ‘‘Now married,’’ ‘‘Widowed,’’ ‘‘Divorced,’’ ‘‘Separated,’’ or

‘‘Never married.’’ Couples who live together (for example, people in common-law marriages) were

able to report the marital status they considered to be the most appropriate.

Never married. Never married includes all people who have never been married, including

people whose only marriage(s) was annulled.

Ever married. Ever married includes people married at the time of enumeration, along with

those who are separated, widowed, or divorced.

B–32 Definitions of Subject Characteristics

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Now married, except separated. Now married, except separated includes people whose

current marriage has not ended through widowhood or divorce; or who are not currently

separated. The category also may include people in common-law marriages if they consider this

category the most appropriate. In certain tabulations, currently married people are further

classified as ‘‘spouse present’’ or ‘‘spouse absent.’’

Separated. Separated includes people with legal separations, people living apart with intentions

of obtaining a divorce, and people who are permanently or temporarily separated because of

marital discord.

Widowed. This category includes widows and widowers who have not remarried.

Divorced. This category includes people who are legally divorced and who have not remarried.

Now married. All people whose current marriage has not ended by widowhood or divorce. This

category includes people defined above as ‘‘separated.’’

Spouse present. Married people whose wives or husbands were enumerated as members of the

same household or the same group quarters facility, including those whose spouses may have

been temporarily absent for such reasons as travel or hospitalization.

Spouse absent. Married people whose wives or husbands were not enumerated as members of

the same household or the same group quarters facility.

Separated. Defined above.

Spouse absent, other. Married people whose wives or husbands were not enumerated as

members of the same household, excluding separated. For example, this includes any person

whose spouse was employed and living away from home, in an institution, or away in the armed

forces.

Differences between the number of currently married males and the number of currently married

females occur because of reporting differences and because some husbands and wives have their

usual residence in different areas. These differences also can occur because different weights are

applied to the individual’s data. Any differences between the number of ‘‘now married, spouse

present’’ males and females are due solely to sample weighting procedures. By definition, the

numbers would be the same.

Comparability. Census 2000 marital status definitions are the same as those used in 1990. A

general marital status question has been asked in every census since 1930.

PLACE OF BIRTH

The data on place of birth were derived from answers to questionnaire Item 11. Mother’s place of

birth and father’s place of birth were derived from answers to questions 14a and 14b. Each place

of birth question asked to report St. Croix, St. John, or St. Thomas if in the U.S. Virgin Islands, or

the name of the U.S. state, commonwealth, territory, or foreign country where they or their

parents were born. People not reporting a place of birth were assigned the birthplace of another

family member or were imputed the response of another person with similar characteristics.

People born outside the area were asked to report their place of birth according to current

international boundaries. Since numerous changes in boundaries of foreign countries have

occurred in the last century, some people may have reported their place of birth in terms of

boundaries that existed at the time of their birth or emigration, or in accordance with their own

national preference.

Nativity. Information on place of birth and citizenship status was used to classify the population

into two major categories: native and foreign born. (See ‘‘Native’’ and ‘‘Foreign Born’’ under

‘‘Citizenship Status.’’)

Comparability. Similar data were shown in tabulations for the 1990 census.

Definitions of Subject Characteristics B–33

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
POVERTY STATUS IN 1999

The poverty data were derived from answers questionnaire Items 32 and 33, the same questions

used to derive income data. (For more information, see ‘‘Income in 1999.’’) The Census Bureau

uses the federal government’s official poverty definition. The Social Security Administration (SSA)

developed the original poverty definition in 1964, which federal interagency committees

subsequently revised in 1969 and 1980. The Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB’s) Directive

14 prescribes this definition as the official poverty measure for federal agencies to use in their

statistical work.

Derivation of the Current Poverty Measure

When the Social Security Administration (SSA) created the poverty definition in 1964, it focused on

family food consumption. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) used its data about the

nutritional needs of children and adults to construct food plans for families. Within each food

plan, dollar amounts varied according to the total number of people in the family and the family’s

composition, such as the number of children within each family. The cheapest of these plans, the

Economy Food Plan, was designed to address the dietary needs of families on an austere budget.

Since the USDA’s 1955 Food Consumption Survey showed that families of three or more people

across all income levels spent roughly one-third of their income on food, the SSA multiplied the

cost of the Economy Food Plan by three to obtain dollar figures for the poverty thresholds. Since

the Economy Food Plan budgets varied by family size and composition, so too did the poverty

thresholds. For 2-person families, the thresholds were adjusted by slightly higher factors because

those households had higher fixed costs. Thresholds for unrelated individuals were calculated as

a fixed proportion of the corresponding thresholds for 2-person families.

The poverty thresholds are revised annually to allow for changes in the cost of living as reflected

in the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U). The poverty thresholds are the same for all parts of the

country — they are not adjusted for regional, state or local variations in the cost of living. For a

detailed discussion of the poverty definition, see U.S. Census Bureau, Current Population Reports,

‘‘Poverty in the United States: 1999,’’ P-60-210.

How Poverty Status is Determined

The poverty status of families and unrelated individuals in 1999 was determined using 48

thresholds (income cutoffs) arranged in a two dimensional matrix. The matrix consists of family

size (from 1 person to 9 or more people) cross-classified by presence and number of family

members under 18 years old (from no children present to 8 or more children present). Unrelated

individuals and 2-person families were further differentiated by the age of the reference person

(RP) (under 65 years old and 65 years old and over).

To determine a person’s poverty status, one compares the person’s total family income with the

poverty threshold appropriate for that person’s family size and composition (see table below). If

the total income of that person’s family is less than the threshold appropriate for that family, then

the person is considered poor, together with every member of his or her family. If a person is not

living with anyone related by birth, marriage, or adoption, then the person’s own income is

compared with his or her poverty threshold.

Weighted average thresholds. Even though the official poverty data are based on the 48

thresholds arranged by family size and number of children within the family, data users often

want to get an idea of the ‘‘average’’ threshold for a given family size. The weighted average

thresholds provide that summary. They are weighted averages because for any given family size,

families with a certain number of children may be more or less common than families with a

different number of children. In other words, among 3-person families, there are more families

with two adults and one child than families with three adults. To get the weighted average

threshold for families of a particular size, multiply each threshold by the number of families for

whom that threshold applies; then add up those products, and divide by the total number of

families who are of that family size.

B–34 Definitions of Subject Characteristics

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
For example, for 3-person families, 1999 weighted thresholds were calculated in the following

way using information from the 2000 Current Population Survey:

Family type Number of families Threshold

No children (three adults) 5,213 * $13,032 = $67,935,816

One child (two adults) 8,208 * $13,410 = $110,069,280

Two children (one adult) 2,656 * $13,423 = $35,651,488

Totals 16,077 $213,656,584

Source: Current Population Survey, March 2000.

Dividing $213,656,584 by 16,077 (the total number of 3-person families) yields $13,290, the

weighted average threshold for 3-person families. Please note that the thresholds are weighted

not just by the number of poor families, but by all families for which the thresholds apply: the

thresholds are used to determine which families are at or above poverty, as well as below poverty.

Individuals for whom poverty status is determined. Poverty status was determined for all

people except institutionalized people, people in military group quarters, people in college

dormitories, and unrelated individuals under 15 years old. These groups also were excluded from

the numerator and denominator when calculating poverty rates. They are considered neither

‘‘poor’’ nor ‘‘nonpoor.’’

Specified poverty levels. For various reasons, the official poverty definition does not satisfy all

the needs of data users. Therefore, some of the data reflect the number of people below different

percentages of the poverty level. These specified poverty levels are obtained by multiplying the

official thresholds by the appropriate factor. For example, the average income cutoff at 125

percent of the poverty level was $21,286 ($17,029 x 1.25) in 1999 for family of four people.

Income deficit. Income deficit represents the difference between the total income of families

and unrelated individuals below the poverty level and their respective poverty thresholds. In

computing the income deficit, families reporting a net income loss are assigned zero dollars and

for such cases the deficit is equal to the poverty threshold.

This measure provides an estimate of the amount which would be required to raise the incomes of

all poor families and unrelated individuals to their respective poverty thresholds. The income

deficit is thus a measure of the degree of the impoverishment of a family or unrelated individual.

Definitions of Subject Characteristics B–35

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
However, please use caution when comparing the average deficits of families with different

characteristics. Apparent differences in average income deficits may, to some extent, be a

function of differences in family size.

Aggregate income deficit. Aggregate income deficit refers only to those families or unrelated

individuals who are classified as below the poverty level. It is defined as the group (e.g., type of

family) sum total of differences between the appropriate threshold and total family income or total

personal income. Aggregate income deficit is subject to rounding, which means that all cells in a

matrix are rounded to the nearest hundred dollars. (For more information, see ‘‘Aggregate’’ under

‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

Mean income deficit. Mean income deficit represents the amount obtained by dividing the total

income deficit for a group below the poverty level by the number of families (or unrelated

individuals) in that group. (The aggregate used to calculate mean income deficit is rounded. For

more information, see ‘‘Aggregate income deficit.’’) As mentioned above, please use caution when

comparing mean income deficits of families with different characteristics, as apparent differences

may to some extent be a function of differences in family size. Mean income deficit is rounded to

the nearest whole dollar. (For more information on means, see ‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

Comparability. The poverty definition used in the 1980 census and later differed slightly from

the one used in the 1970 census. Three technical modifications were made to the definition used

in the 1970 census:

1. Beginning with the 1980 census, the Office of Management and Budget eliminated any

distinction between thresholds for ‘‘families with a female householder with no husband

present’’ and all other families. The new thresholds — which apply to all families regardless of

the householder’s sex — were a weighted average of the old thresholds.

2. The Office of Management and Budget eliminated any differences between farm families and

nonfarm families, and farm and nonfarm unrelated individuals. In the 1970 census, the farm

thresholds were 85 percent of those for nonfarm families; whereas, in 1980 and later, the

same thresholds were applied to all families and unrelated individuals regardless of residence.

3. The thresholds by size of family were extended from seven or more people in 1970 to nine or

more people in 1980 and later.

These changes resulted in a minimal increase in the number of poor at the national level. For a

complete discussion of these modifications and their impact, see U.S. Census Bureau, Current

Population Reports, ‘‘Characteristics of the Population Below the Poverty Level: 1980,’’ P-60, No.

133.

With respect to poverty, the population covered in the 1970 census was almost the same as that

covered in the 1980 census and later. The only difference was that in 1980 and after, unrelated

individuals under 15 years old were excluded from the poverty universe, while in 1970, only

those under age 14 were excluded. The limited poverty data from the 1960 census excluded all

people in group quarters and included all unrelated individuals regardless of age. It was unlikely

that these differences in population coverage would have had significant impact when comparing

the poverty data for people since the 1960 census.

Household poverty data. Poverty status is not defined for households — only for families and

unrelated individuals. Because some data users need poverty data at the household level, we have

provided a few matrices that show tallies of households by the poverty status of the householder.

In these matrices, the householder’s poverty status is computed exactly the same way as

described above. Therefore, to determine whether or not a ‘‘household’’ was in poverty, anyone

who is not related to the householder is ignored.

B–36 Definitions of Subject Characteristics

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Example #1: Household #1 has six members — a married couple, Alice and Albert, with their

10-year-old nephew, Aaron, and another married couple, Brian and Beatrice, with their 6-year-old

son, Ben. Alice is the householder. Brian, Beatrice, and Ben are not related to Alice.

Household member Relationship to Alice Income

Alice self (householder) $5,000

Albert spouse $40,000

Aaron related child $0

Brian unrelated individual $0

Beatrice unrelated individual $5,000

Ben unrelated individual $0

The total income of Alice’s family is $45,000, and their poverty threshold is $13,410, since there

are three people in the family, with one member under age 18. Their income is greater than their

threshold, so they are not classified as poor. Their ratio of income to poverty is 3.36 ($45,000

divided by $13,410). Alice’s income-to-poverty ratio is also 3.36, because everyone in the same

family has the same poverty status.

Even though Brian, Beatrice and Ben would be classified as poor if they lived in their own

household, the household is not classified as poor because the householder, Alice, is not poor, as

was shown in the computation above.

Example #2: Household #2 consists of four adults, Claude, Danielle, Emily, and Francis, who are

unrelated to each other and are living as housemates. Claude, who is age 30, is the householder.

Household member Relationship to Claude Income

Claude self (householder) $4,500

Danielle unrelated individual $82,000

Emily unrelated individual $28,000

Francis unrelated individual $40,000

Because Claude is under age 65 and is not living with any family members, his poverty threshold

is $8,667. Since his income, $4,500, is less than his threshold, he is considered poor. His ratio of

income to poverty is 0.52 ($4,500 divided by $8,667).

Household #2 would be classified as poor because its householder, Claude, is poor, even though

the other household members (who are not related to Claude) are not in poverty.

RACE

The data on race were derived from answers to questionnaire Item 6. The concept of race, as used

by the Census Bureau, reflects self-identification by people according to the race or races with

which they most closely identify. These categories are socio-political constructs and should not be

interpreted as being scientific or anthropological in nature. Furthermore, the race categories

include both racial and national-origin groups.

The racial classifications used by the Census Bureau adhere to the October 30, 1997, Federal

Register Notice entitled, ‘‘Revisions to the Standards for the Classification of Federal Data on Race

and Ethnicity,’’ issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). These standards govern the

categories used to collect and present federal data on race and ethnicity. The OMB requires five

minimum categories (White, Black or African American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian,

and Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander) for race. The race categories are described below

with a sixth category, ‘‘Some other race,’’ added with OMB approval. In addition to the five race

groups, the OMB also states that respondents should be offered the option of selecting one or

more races.

If an individual did not provide a race response, the race or races of the householder or other

household members were assigned using specific rules of precedence of household relationship.

For example, if race was missing for a natural-born child in the household, then either the race or

Definitions of Subject Characteristics B–37

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
races of the householder, another natural-born child, or the spouse of the householder were

assigned. If race was not reported for anyone in the household, the race or races of a householder

in a previously processed household were assigned. This procedure is a variation of the general

imputation procedures described in ‘‘Accuracy of the Data.’’

White. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North

Africa. It includes people who indicate their race as ‘‘White’’ or report entries such as Irish,

German, Italian, Lebanese, Near Easterner, Arab, or Polish.

Black or African American. A person having origins in any of the Black racial groups of Africa.

It includes people who indicate their race as ‘‘Black, African Am., or Negro,’’ or provide written

entries such as African American, Afro-American, Kenyan, Nigerian, or Haitian.

American Indian or Alaska Native. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of

North and South America (including Central America) and who maintain tribal affiliation or

community attachment. It includes people who classified themselves as described below.

American Indian. This category includes people who indicated their race as ‘‘American Indian,’’

entered the name of an Indian tribe, or reported such entries as Canadian Indian, French American

Indian, or Spanish American Indian.

American Indian tribe. Respondents who identified themselves as American Indian were asked

to report their enrolled or principal tribe. Therefore, tribal data in tabulations reflect the written

entries reported on the questionnaires. Some of the entries (for example, Iroquois, Sioux,

Colorado River, and Flathead) represent nations or reservations. The information on tribe is

based on self-identification and therefore does not reflect any designation of federally or

state-recognized tribe. Information on American Indian tribes is presented in summary files. The

information for Census 2000 is derived from the American Indian Tribal Classification List for

the 1990 census that was updated based on a December 1997, Federal Register Notice, entitled

‘‘Indian Entities Recognized and Eligible to Receive Service From the United States Bureau of

Indian Affairs,’’ Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, issued by the Office of

Management and Budget.

Alaska Native. This category includes written responses of Eskimos, Aleuts, and Alaska Indians as

well as entries such as Arctic Slope, Inupiat, Yupik, Alutiiq, Egegik, and Pribilovian. The Alaska

tribes are the Alaskan Athabascan, Tlingit, and Haida. The information for Census 2000 is based

on the American Indian Tribal Classification List for the 1990 census, which was expanded to list

the individual Alaska Native Villages when provided as a written response for race.

Asian. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or

the Indian subcontinent including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia,

Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam. It includes ‘‘Asian Indian,’’ ‘‘Chinese,’’

‘‘Filipino,’’ ‘‘Korean,’’ ‘‘Japanese,’’ ‘‘Vietnamese,’’ and ‘‘Other Asian.’’

Asian Indian. This category includes people who indicated their race as ‘‘Asian Indian’’ or

identified themselves as Bengalese, Bharat, Dravidian, East Indian, or Goanese.

Chinese. This category includes people who indicate their race as ‘‘Chinese’’ or who identify

themselves as Cantonese, or Chinese American. In some census tabulations, written entries of

Taiwanese are included with Chinese while in others they are shown separately.

Filipino. This category includes people who indicate their race as ‘‘Filipino’’ or who report entries

such as Philipino, Philipine, or Filipino American.

Japanese. This category includes people who indicate their race as ‘‘Japanese’’ or who report

entries such as Nipponese or Japanese American.

Korean. This category includes people who indicate their race as ‘‘Korean’’ or who provide a

response of Korean American.

B–38 Definitions of Subject Characteristics

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Vietnamese. This category includes people who indicate their race as ‘‘Vietnamese’’ or who

provide a response of Vietnamese American.

Cambodian. This category includes people who provide a response such as Cambodian or

Cambodia.

Hmong. This category includes people who provide a response such as Hmong, Laohmong, or

Mong.

Laotian. This category includes people who provide a response such as Laotian, Laos, or Lao.

Thai. This category includes people who provide a response such as Thai, Thailand, or Siamese.

Other Asian. This category includes people who provide a response of Bangladeshi; Bhutanese;

Burmese; Indochinese; Indonesian; Iwo Jiman; Madagascar; Malaysian; Maldivian; Nepalese;

Okinawan; Pakistani; Singaporean; Sri Lankan; or Other Asian, specified and Other Asian, not

specified.

Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander. A person having origins in any of the original

peoples of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific Islands. It includes people who indicate their

race as ‘‘Native Hawaiian,’’ ‘‘Guamanian or Chamorro,’’ ‘‘Samoan,’’ and ‘‘Other Pacific Islander.’’

Native Hawaiian. This category includes people who indicate their race as ‘‘Native Hawaiian’’ or

who identify themselves as ‘‘Part Hawaiian’’ or ‘‘Hawaiian.’’

Guamanian or Chamorro. This category includes people who indicate their race as such,

including written entries of Guam or Chamorro.

Samoan. This category includes people who indicate their race as ‘‘Samoan’’ or who identify

themselves as American Samoan or Western Samoan.

Other Pacific Islander. This category includes people who provide a write-in response of a Pacific

Islander group such as Carolinian; Chuukese (Trukese); Fijian; Kosraean; Melanesian; Micronesian;

Northern Mariana Islander; Palauan; Papua New Guinean; Pohnpeian; Polynesian; Solomon

Islander; Tahitian; Tokelauan; Tongan; Yapese; or Other Pacific Islander, specified and Other Pacific

Islander, not specified.

Some other race. This category includes all other responses not included in the ‘‘White,’’ ‘‘Black

or African American,’’ ‘‘American Indian or Alaska Native,’’ ‘‘Asian,’’ and ‘‘Native Hawaiian or Other

Pacific Islander’’ race categories described above. Respondents providing write-in entries such as

multiracial, mixed, interracial, or a Hispanic/Latino group (for example, Mexican, Puerto Rican, or

Cuban) in the ‘‘Some other race’’ write-in space are included in this category.

Two or more races. People may have chosen to provide two or more races either by checking

two or more race response check boxes, by providing multiple write-in responses, or by some

combination of check boxes and write-in responses. The race response categories shown on the

questionnaire are collapsed into the five minimum races identified by the OMB, and the Census

Bureau ‘‘Some other race’’ category. For data product purposes, ‘‘Two or more races’’ refers to

combinations of two or more of the following race categories:

1. White

2. Black or African American

3. American Indian and Alaska Native

4. Asian

5. Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander

6. Some other race

There are 57 possible combinations (see below) involving the race categories shown above. Thus,

according to this approach, a response of ‘‘White’’ and ‘‘Asian’’ was tallied as two or more races,

while a response of ‘‘Japanese’’ and ‘‘Chinese’’ was not because ‘‘Japanese’’ and ‘‘Chinese’’ are both

Given the many possible ways of displaying data on two or more races, data products will provide

varying levels of detail. The most common presentation shows a single line indicating ‘‘Two or

more races.’’ Some data products provide totals of all 57 possible combinations of two or more

races, as well as subtotals of people reporting a specific number of races, such as people

reporting two races, people reporting three races, and so on.

In other presentations on race, data are shown for the total number of people who reported one

of the six categories alone or in combination with one or more other race categories. For example,

the category, ‘‘Asian alone or in combination with one or more other races’’ includes people who

reported Asian alone and people who reported Asian in combination with White, Black or African

American, Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, and Some other race. This number,

therefore, represents the maximum number of people who reported as Asian in the question on

race. When this data presentation is used, the individual race categories will add to more than the

total population because people may be included in more than one category.

Coding of race write-in responses. During processing of Census 2000 questionnaires, clerks

reviewed and coded write-in entries from the response categories on the race question: American

Indian or Alaska Native, Other Asian, Other Pacific Islander, and Some other race. Write-in

responses such as Laotian or Thai and Guamanian or Tongan were reviewed and coded, and

tabulated as ‘‘Other Asian’’ and ‘‘Other Pacific Islander,’’ respectively, in the census. Responses

were coded by a procedure that allowed for identification of two responses per write-in area.

Respondents entering a write-in response had their individual entries coded and classified to the

appropriate race regardless of whether they filled a checkbox.

Comparability. The data on race in Census 2000 are not directly comparable to those collected

in previous censuses. The October 1997 revised standards issued by the OMB led to changes in

the question on race for Census 2000. The Census 2000 Dress Rehearsal data were the first to

reflect these changes. First, respondents were allowed to select more than one category for race.

Second, the sequence of the questions on race and Hispanic origin changed. In 1990, the question

on race (Item 4) preceded the question on Hispanic origin (Item 7) with two intervening questions.

For Census 2000, the question on race immediately follows the question on Hispanic origin.

Definitions of Subject Characteristics B–41

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Third, there were terminology changes to the response categories, such as spelling out

‘‘American’’ instead of ‘‘Amer.’’ for the American Indian or Alaska Native category; and adding

‘‘Native’’ to the Hawaiian response category. The 1990 category, ‘‘Other race,’’ was renamed ‘‘Some

other race.’’ Other differences that may affect comparability involve the individual categories on

the Census 2000 questionnaire. The 1990 category, ‘‘Asian and Pacific Islander,’’ was separated

into two categories, ‘‘Asian’’ and ‘‘Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander’’ for Census 2000.

Accordingly, on the Census 2000 questionnaire, there were seven Asian categories and four

Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander categories. The two residual categories, ‘‘Other Asian’’

and ‘‘Other Pacific Islander,’’ replaced the 1990 single category ‘‘Other API.’’ The 1990 categories,

‘‘American Indian,’’ ‘‘Eskimo,’’ and ‘‘Aleut,’’ were combined into ‘‘American Indian and Alaska

Native.’’ American Indians and Alaska Natives can report one or more tribes.

As in 1980 and 1990, people who reported a Hispanic or Latino ethnicity in the question on race

and did not mark a specific race category were classified in the ‘‘Some other race’’ category

(‘‘Other’’ in 1980 and ‘‘Other race’’ in 1990). They commonly provided a write-in entry such as

Mexican, Puerto Rican, or Latino. In the 1970 census, most of these responses were included in

the ‘‘White’’ category. In addition, some ethnic entries that in 1990 may have been coded as White

or Black are now shown in the ‘‘Some other race’’ group.

REFERENCE WEEK

The data on employment status and commuting to work are related to a 1-week time period,

known as the reference week. For each person, this week is the full calendar week, Sunday

through Saturday, preceding the date the questionnaire was completed. This calendar week is not

the same for all people since the enumeration was not completed in 1 week. The occurrence of

holidays during the enumeration period probably had no effect on the overall measurement of

employment status.

RESIDENCE 5 YEARS AGO

The data on residence 5 years ago were derived from answers to questionnaire Item 15b, which

was asked of the population five years old and over. This question asked to report St. Croix, St.

John, or St. Thomas if in the U.S. Virgin Islands, or the name of the U.S. state, commonwealth,

territory, or foreign country of residence on April 1, 1995, for those people who reported in

question 15a that they lived in a different house than their current residence. People living in the

U.S. Virgin Islands were also asked to report the name of the city, town, or village in which they

lived 5 years earlier.

When no information on previous residence was reported for a person, information for other

family members, if available, was used to assign a location of residence in 1995. All cases of

nonresponse or incomplete response that were not assigned a previous residence based on

information from other family members were imputed the previous residence of another person

with similar characteristics who provided complete information on residence 5 years earlier.

The tabulation category, ‘‘Same house,’’ includes all people 5 years old and over who did not move

during the 5 years as well as those who had moved but by Census Day had returned to their 1995

residence. The category, ‘‘Different house,’’ includes people who lived in the U.S. Virgin Islands 5

years earlier but lived in a different house or apartment from the one they occupied on Census

Day. These movers are then further subdivided according to the type of move.

In most tabulations, movers within the U.S. Virgin Islands are divided into three groups according

to their previous residence: ‘‘Different house, same island,’’ ‘‘Different house, different island,’’ and

‘‘Outside U.S. Virgin Islands.’’ The last group may be further subdivided into ‘‘In the United States,’’

‘‘On another Caribbean Island,’’ or ‘‘Elsewhere’’ in 1995. The ‘‘Elsewhere’’ category, includes those

whose previous residence was in a foreign country, American Samoa, Guam, or the

Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, including members of the armed forces and their

dependents.

B–42 Definitions of Subject Characteristics

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
The number of people who were living in a different house 5 years earlier is somewhat less than

the total number of moves during the 5-year period. Some people in the same house at the two

dates had moved during the 5-year period but by the time of the census had returned to their

1995 residence. Other people who were living in a different house had made one or more

intermediate moves. For similar reasons, the number of people living in a different municipality,

county, or district may be understated.

Comparability. Similar questions were asked for the 1990 census. In 1980, previous residence

was not imputed for nonresponse. These people were shown in the category ‘‘Residence in 1975

not reported.’’

SCHOOL ENROLLMENT AND EMPLOYMENT STATUS

Tabulation of data on school enrollment, educational attainment, and employment status for the

population 16 to 19 years old allows for calculating the proportion of people 16 to 19 years old

who are not enrolled in school and not high school graduates (‘‘dropouts’’) and an unemployment

rate for the ‘‘dropout’’ population. Definitions of the three topics and descriptions of the census

items from which they were derived are presented in ‘‘Educational Attainment,’’ ‘‘Employment

Status,’’ and ‘‘School Enrollment and Type of School.’’

Comparability. The tabulation of school enrollment by employment status is similar to that

published in 1980 and 1990 census reports. The 1980 census tabulation included a single data

line for armed forces; school enrollment, educational attainment, and employment status data

were shown for the civilian population only. In 1970, a tabulation was included for 16 to 21 year

old males not attending school.

SCHOOL ENROLLMENT AND TYPE OF SCHOOL

Data on school enrollment were derived from answers to questionnaire Items 8a and 8b. People

were classified as enrolled in school if they reported attending a ‘‘regular’’ public or private school

or college at any time between February 1, 2000, and the time of enumeration. The question

included instructions to ‘‘include only nursery school or preschool, kindergarten, elementary

school, and schooling which leads to a high school diploma or a college degree’’ as regular school

or college. Respondents who did not answer the enrollment question were assigned the

enrollment status and type of school of a person with the same age, sex, and race/Hispanic or

Latino origin whose residence was in the same or a nearby area.

Public and private school. Public and private school includes people who attended school in

the reference period and indicated they were enrolled by marking one of the questionnaire

categories for either ‘‘public school, public college’’ or ‘‘private school, private college.’’ Schools

supported and controlled primarily by a federal, state, or local government are defined as public.

Those supported and controlled primarily by religious organizations or other private groups are

private.

Comparability. School enrollment questions have been included in the decennial census of the

Virgin Islands since 1930; highest grade attended was first asked in 1950 and type of school was

first asked in 1970. In 1930, the reference period was ‘‘since Sept. 1, 1929.’’ In 1940, the

reference was to attendance in the month preceding the census, and in the 1950 and subsequent

censuses, the question referred to attendance in the 2 months preceding the census date.

Enrollment in the 1930 census included attendance at a school or college of any kind. In 1940,

vocational school, extension school, or night school were included if the school was part of the

regular school system. In the 1950 instructions, the term ‘‘regular school’’ was introduced, and it

was defined as schooling which ‘‘advances a person towards an elementary or high school

diploma or a college, university, or professional school degree.’’ Vocational, trade, or business

schools were excluded unless they were graded and considered part of a regular school system.

On-the-job training was excluded, as was nursery school and kindergarten. There has been very

little change in the definition since, except the additions of kindergarten in 1960 and

pre-kindergarten in 1970. In 1960, the question used the term ‘‘regular school or college.’’

Definitions of Subject Characteristics B–43

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Instruction by correspondence was excluded unless it was given by a regular school and counted

towards promotion. In 1960, the question used the term ‘‘regular school or college’’ and a similar,

though expanded, definition of ‘‘regular’’ was included in the instruction, which continued to

exclude nursery school but included kindergarten. In the 1970 census, the questionnaire included

instructions to ‘‘count nursery school, kindergarten, and schooling that leads to an elementary

school certificate, high school diploma, or college degree.’’

The age range for which enrollment data have been obtained and published has varied over the

censuses. Information on enrollment was recorded for people of all ages in the 1930 census; 5 to

24 years old in 1940; 5 to 29 years old in 1950; 5 to 34 years old in 1960; and 3 years old and

over since 1970. Most of the published enrollment figures referred to people 5 to 20 years old in

the 1930 census, 5 to 24 in 1940, 5 to 29 in 1950, 5 to 34 in 1960, 3 to 34 in 1970, and 3 years

old and over in 1980 and later years. This growth in the age group whose enrollment was

reported reflects increased interest in the number of children in preprimary schools and in the

number of older people attending colleges and universities. In the 1950 and subsequent

censuses, college students were enumerated where they lived while attending college; whereas, in

earlier censuses, they generally were enumerated at their parental homes.

Type of school was first introduced in the 1970 census, where the type of school was

incorporated into the ‘‘Yes’’ response categories for the enrollment question and the terms were

changed to ‘‘public,’’ ‘‘parochial,’’ and ‘‘other private.’’ In the 1980 census, ‘‘private, church related’’

and ‘‘private, not church related’’ replaced ‘‘parochial’’ and ‘‘other private.’’ In 1990 and 2000,

‘‘public’’ and ‘‘private’’ were used. The instruction guide defined a public school as ‘‘any school or

college controlled and supported by a local, county, state, or federal government.’’ Schools

supported and controlled primarily by religious organizations or other private groups were

defined as private. In Census 2000, there was no separate instruction guide. The questionnaire

reference book used by enumerators and telephone assistance staff contained these definitions

for those who asked questions.

Data on school enrollment also were collected and published by other federal, state, and local

government agencies. Where these data were obtained from administrative records of school

systems and institutions of higher learning, they were only roughly comparable to data from

population censuses and household surveys because of differences in definitions and concepts,

subject matter covered, time references, and enumeration methods. At the local level, the

difference between the location of the institution and the residence of the student may affect the

comparability of census and administrative data. Differences between the boundaries of school

districts and census geographic units may also affect these comparisons.

SEX

The data on sex were derived from answers to questionnaire Item 3. Individuals were asked to

mark either ‘‘male’’ or ‘‘female’’ to indicate their sex. For most cases in which sex was not

reported, it was determined from the person’s given (i.e., first) name and household relationship.

Otherwise, sex was imputed according to the relationship to the householder and the age of the

person. (For more information on imputation, see ‘‘Accuracy of the Data.’’)

Sex ratio. A measure derived by dividing the total number of males by the total number of

females, and then multiplying by 100. This measure is rounded to the nearest tenth.

Comparability. A question on the sex of individuals has been included in every census. Census

2000 was the first time that first name was used for imputation of cases where sex was not

reported.

VETERAN STATUS

Data on veteran status, period of military service, and years of military service were derived from

questionnaire Item 21, which was asked of the population 15 years old and over.

B–44 Definitions of Subject Characteristics

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Veteran status. The data on veteran status were derived from answers to questionnaire Item

21a. For census data products, a ‘‘civilian veteran’’ is a person 18 years old and over who, at the

time of the enumeration, had served on active duty in the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine

Corps, or Coast Guard in the past (even for a short time), but was not then on active duty, or who

had served in the Merchant Marine during World War II. People who had served in the National

Guard or Military Reserves were classified as veterans only if they had ever been called or ordered

to active duty, not counting the 4 to 6 months for initial training or yearly summer camps. All

other civilians 18 years old and over were classified as nonveterans.

Period of military service. People who indicated in questionnaire Item 21a that they had

served on active duty in the past (civilian veterans) or were on active duty at the time of

enumeration were asked to indicate in Question 21b the period or periods in which they served.

People who served in both wartime and peacetime periods are tabulated according to their

wartime service.

The responses to the question about period of service were edited for consistency and

reasonableness. The edit eliminated inconsistencies between reported period(s) of service and the

age of the person; it also removed reported combinations of periods containing unreasonable

gaps (for example, it did not accept a response that indicated that the person had served in World

War II and in the Vietnam era, but not in the Korean conflict).

Years of military service. People who indicated in questionnaire Item 21a that they had served

on active duty in the past (civilian veterans) or were on active duty at the time of enumeration

were asked whether they had spent at least 2 years in total on active duty. The question asked for

accumulated service (i.e., total service), which is not necessarily the same as continuous service.

The years of military service question provides necessary information to estimate the number of

veterans that are eligible to receive specific benefits.

Limitation of the data. There may be a tendency for the following kinds of people to report

erroneously that they had served on active duty in the armed forces: (a) people who served in the

National Guard or Military Reserves, but were never called to active duty; (b) civilian employees or

volunteers for the USO, Red Cross, or the Department of Defense (or its predecessors, the

Department of War and the Department of the Navy); and (c) employees of the Merchant Marine or

Public Health Service. There is also the possibility that people may have misreported years of

service in questionnaire Item 21c because of rounding errors (for example, people with 1 year 8

months of active duty military service may have mistakenly reported ‘‘2 years or more’’).

Comparability. Since census data on veterans are based on self-reported responses, they may

differ from data from other sources, such as administrative records of the Department of Defense

and/or the Department of Transportation. Census data also may differ from Department of

Veterans Affairs’ data on the benefits-eligible population, since criteria for determining eligibility

for veterans’ benefits differ from the rules for classifying veterans in the census.

The questions and concepts for veterans’ data for Census 2000 were essentially the same as

those used for the 1990 census, with the following exceptions: (1) the period of military service

categories were updated; (2) in an effort to reduce reporting error, the format of the years of

military service question was changed from an open-ended one (how many years has...served?) to

a closed-ended one (the respondent checked either of two boxes: less than 2 years/2 years or

more); and (3) persons with service during World War II in the Women’s Air Forces Service Pilots

organization were first counted as veterans in Census 2000, a development that should not

appreciably affect 1990-2000 comparability. Both the 2000 and 1990 veteran-status questions

represented expanded versions of the corresponding question in the 1980 census, which asked

only whether the person was a veteran or not. The expansion was intended to clarify the

appropriate response for persons currently in the armed forces and for persons whose only

military service was for training in the Reserves or National Guard.

VOCATIONAL TRAINING

The data on vocational training were derived from responses to questionnaire item 9b. Vocational

training is a school program designed to prepare a person for work in a specific occupational

Definitions of Subject Characteristics B–45

field. People were counted as having completed vocational training if they ‘‘completed the

requirements for a vocational training program at a trade school, business school, hospital, some

other kind of school for occupational training, or place of work.’’

People who completed a program were asked to report whether the training was in the area in

which they lived, ‘‘No’’; ‘‘Yes, in the U.S. Virgin Islands’’ or outside the area; ‘‘Yes, not in the U.S.

Virgin Islands.’’

Comparability. The vocational training question is a new question for the U.S. Virgin Islands. The

question was in the U.S. census in 1970 only. It has been asked in the Pacific Islands since 1970.

WORK STATUS IN 1999

The data on work status in 1999 were derived from answers to questionnaire Item 31a, which was

asked of the population 15 years old and over. People 16 years old and over who worked 1 or

more weeks according to the criteria described below are classified as ‘‘Worked in 1999.’’ All other

people 16 years old and over are classified as ‘‘Did not work in 1999.’’ Some earnings tabulations

showing work status in 1999 include 15 year olds; these people, by definition, are classified as

‘‘Did not work in 1999.’’

Weeks worked in 1999. The data on weeks worked in 1999 were derived from answers to

questionnaire Item 31b, which was asked of people 15 years old and over who indicated in

questionnaire Item 31a that they worked in 1999. The data were tabulated for people 16 years old

and over and pertain to the number of weeks during 1999 in which a person did any work for pay

or profit (or took paid vacation or paid sick leave) or worked without pay on a family farm or in a

family business. Weeks on active duty in the armed forces also are included as weeks worked.

Median weeks worked in 1999. Median weeks worked in 1999 divides the weeks worked

distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median weeks worked

and one-half above the median. Median weeks worked in 1999 is computed on the basis of a

standard distribution (see the ‘‘Standard Distributions’’ section under ‘‘Derived Measures’’). Median

weeks worked is rounded to the nearest whole number. (For more information on medians, see

‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

Usual hours worked per week in 1999. The data on usual hours worked in 1999 were

derived from answers to questionnaire Item 31c. This question was asked of people 15 years old

and over who indicated that they worked in 1999 in Question 31a, and the data are tabulated for

people 16 years old and over. The respondent was asked to report the number of hours usually

worked during the weeks worked in 1999. If their hours varied considerably from week to week

during 1999, the respondent was asked to report an approximate average of the hours worked

each week. People 16 years old and over who reported that they usually worked 35 or more hours

each week are classified as ‘‘Usually worked full time’’; people who reported that they usually

worked 1 to 34 hours each week are classified as ‘‘Usually worked part time.’’

Median usual hours worked per week in 1999. Median usual hours worked per week in

1999 divides the usual hours worked distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases

falling below the median usual hours worked and one-half above the median. Median usual hours

worked per week in 1999 is computed on the basis of a standard distribution (see the ‘‘Standard

Distributions’’ section under ‘‘Derived Measures’’). Median usual hours worked per week is

rounded to the nearest whole hour. (For more information on medians, see ‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

Aggregate usual hours worked per week in 1999. The aggregate usual hours worked per

week in 1999 is the number obtained by summing across the usual hours worked values of all

people who worked in 1999. (Note that there is one usual hours value for each worker, so the

number of items summed equals the number of workers.)

Mean usual hours worked per week in 1999. Mean usual hours worked per week is

calculated by dividing the aggregate number of usual hours worked per week worked in 1999 by

the total number of people who worked in 1999. Mean usual hours worked per week is rounded

to the nearest tenth. (For more information on means, see ‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

B–46 Definitions of Subject Characteristics

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Full-time, year-round workers. Full-time, year-round workers consists of people 16 years old

and over who usually worked 35 hours or more per week for 50 to 52 weeks in 1999. The term

‘‘worker’’ in these concepts refers to people classified as ‘‘Worked in 1999’’ as defined above. The

term ‘‘worked’’ in these concepts means ‘‘worked one or more weeks in 1999’’ as defined above

under ‘Weeks Worked in 1999.’’

Limitation of the data. It is probable that data on the number of people who worked in 1999

and on the number of weeks worked are understated since there was probably a tendency for

respondents to forget intermittent or short periods of employment or to exclude weeks worked

without pay. There may also have been a tendency for people not to include weeks of paid

vacation among their weeks worked, which would result in an underestimate of the number of

people who worked ‘‘50 to 52 weeks.’’

Comparability. The data on weeks worked collected in Census 2000 are comparable with data

from the 1960 to 1990 censuses, but may not be entirely comparable with data from the 1940

and 1950 censuses. Starting with the 1960 census, two separate questions have been used to

obtain this information. The first identifies people with any work experience during the year and,

thus, indicates those people for whom the question about number of weeks worked applies. In

1940 and 1950, the questionnaires contained only a single question on number of weeks worked.

In 1970, people responded to the question on weeks worked by indicating one of six

weeks-worked intervals. In 1980 and 1990, people were asked to enter the specific number of

weeks they worked.

Worker. The terms ‘‘worker’’ and ‘‘work’’ appear in connection with several subjects: employment

status, journey-to-work, class of worker, and work status in 1999. Their meaning varies and,

therefore, should be determined by referring to the definition of the subject in which they appear.

When used in the concepts ‘‘Workers in Family,’’ ‘‘Workers in Family in 1999,’’ and ‘‘Full-Time,

Year-Round Workers,’’ the term ‘‘worker’’ relates to the meaning of work defined for the ‘‘Work

Status in 1999’’ subject.

YEAR OF ENTRY

The data on year of entry were derived from answers to questionnaire Item 13. All people born

outside the U.S. Virgin Islands were asked for the year in which they came to live in the U.S. Virgin

Islands, and if they entered more than once, to provide the year of their latest entry. This includes

people born in Puerto Rico and other U.S. Island Areas (such as Guam); people born abroad of a

U.S. parent(s); and the foreign born. (For more information, see ‘‘Place of Birth’’ and ‘‘Citizenship

Status.’’)

Limitation of the data. The census questions on nativity, citizenship status, and year of entry

were not comparable across enumerated areas (i.e., U.S. stateside, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin

Islands and other U.S. Island Areas). Instead of the phrase ‘‘to stay,’’ the U.S. stateside and Puerto

Rico employed the phrase ‘‘to live’’ to obtain the year in which the person became a resident of

the area. Also, the U.S. Virgin Islands questionnaire instructed respondents to provide the latest

year of entry if the person had entered the U.S. Virgin Islands more than once. These instructions

were not included in the U.S. stateside or Puerto Rico questionnaires.

Comparability. Although the year of entry questions do not differ between the 1990 and 2000

censuses of the U.S. Virgin Islands, differences in response options do exist. The 1990 census

used a multiple-choice format that offered 10 predetermined entry periods of various durations

from which to choose. Census 2000, however, provided a write-in field limited to four spaces to

represent the actual year of entry.

c-census2000.html.

LIVING QUARTERS

Living quarters are either housing units or group quarters. Living quarters are usually found in

structures intended for residential use, but also may be found in structures intended for

nonresidential use as well as in places such as tents, vans, and emergency and transitional

shelters.

Housing unit. A housing unit may be a house, an apartment, a mobile home, a group of rooms,

or a single room that is occupied (or, if vacant, is intended for occupancy) as separate living

quarters. Separate living quarters are those in which the occupants live separately from any other

individuals in the building and which have direct access from outside the building or through a

common hall. 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. Boats,

recreational vehicles (RVs), vans, tents, and the like are housing units 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’ lots, at the factory,

or in storage yards are excluded from the housing inventory. Also excluded from the housing

inventory 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.

Occupied housing unit. A housing unit is classified as occupied if it is the usual place of

residence of the person or group of people living in it at the time of enumeration, or if the

occupants are only temporarily absent; that is, away on vacation or business. 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 people who share living quarters.

Occupied rooms or suites of rooms in hotels, motels, and similar places are classified as housing

units only when occupied by permanent residents; that is, people who consider the hotel as their

usual place of residence or have no usual place of residence elsewhere. If any of the occupants in

rooming or boarding houses, congregate housing, or continuing care facilities live separately from

others in the building and have direct access, their quarters are classified as separate housing

units. 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.

Vacant housing unit. 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 people who have a usual residence elsewhere are also classified

as vacant. 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 from the housing inventory if they are open to the elements; that

is, the roof, walls, windows, and/or doors no longer protect the interior from the elements. Also

excluded are vacant units with a sign that they are condemned or they are to be demolished.

Comparability. The first Census of Housing in 1940 established the ‘‘dwelling unit’’ concept.

Although the term became ‘‘housing unit’’ and the definition was modified slightly in succeeding

censuses, the housing unit definition remained essentially comparable between 1940 and 1990.

Since 1990, two changes were made to the housing unit definition.

B–48 Definitions of Subject Characteristics

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
The first change eliminated the concept of ‘‘eating separately.’’ The elimination of the eating

criterion is more comparable with the United Nations’ definition of a housing unit that stresses the

entire concept of separateness rather than the specific ‘‘eating’’ element. Although the ‘‘eating

separately’’ criterion was previously included in the definition of a housing unit, the data collected

did not distinguish whether the occupants ate separately from any other people in the building.

(Questions that asked households about their eating arrangements have not been included in the

census after 1970.) Therefore, the current definition better reflects the information that is used in

the determination of a housing unit.

The second change for Census 2000 eliminated the ‘‘number of nonrelatives’’ criterion; that is,

‘‘nine or more people unrelated to the householder’’ which converted housing units to group

quarters. This change was prompted by the following considerations: (1) there were relatively few

such conversions in 1990; (2) household relationship and housing data were lost by converting

these housing units to group quarters; and (3) there was no empirical support for establishing a

particular number of nonrelatives as a threshold for these conversions.

In 1960, 1970, and 1980, vacant rooms in hotels, motels, and other similar places where 75

percent or more of the accommodations were occupied by permanent residents were counted as

part of the housing inventory. We intended to classify these vacant units as housing units in the

1990 census. However, an evaluation of the data collection procedures prior to the 1990 census

indicated that the concept of permanency was a difficult and confusing procedure for

enumerators to apply correctly. Consequently, in the 1990 census, vacant rooms in hotels, motels,

and similar places were not counted as housing units. In Census 2000, we continued the

procedure adopted in 1990.

ACREAGE

The data on acreage were obtained from answers to questionnaire Item 48b. This question was

asked at all occupied and vacant 1-family houses and mobile homes. The data for vacant units are

obtained by asking a neighbor, real estate agent, building manager, or anyone else who has

knowledge of the vacant unit in question.

Question 48b determines a range of acres on which the house or mobile home is located. A major

purpose for this item is to exclude owner-occupied and renter-occupied 1-family houses on 10 or

more acres from the specified owner- and renter-occupied universes for value and rent

tabulations. Another major purpose for this item, in conjunction with questionnaire Item 48c on

agricultural sales, is to identify farm units. (For more information, see ‘‘Farm Residence.’’) The land

may consist of more than one tract or plot. These tracts or plots are usually adjoining; however,

they may be separated by a road, creek, another piece of land, etc.

Comparability. Question 48b replaced two items on acreage that were asked in 1990, ‘‘Is this

house on 10 or more acres’’ and ‘‘Is this house on less than 1 acre.’’ No information was lost by

combining these items.

AGRICULTURAL SALES

Data on the sales of agricultural crops were obtained from answers to questionnaire Item 48c,

which was asked at occupied 1-family houses and mobile homes located on lots of 1 acre or

more. Data for this item exclude units on lots of less than 1 acre, units located in structures

containing two or more units, and all vacant units. This item refers to the total amount (before

taxes and expenses) received in 1999 from the sale of crops, vegetables, fruits, nuts, livestock

and livestock products, and nursery and forest products produced on ‘‘this property.’’

Respondents new to a unit were to estimate total agricultural sales in 1999 even if some portion

of the sales had been made by previous occupants of the unit.

This item is used mainly to classify housing units as farm or nonfarm residences, not to provide

detailed information on the sale of agricultural products. Detailed information on the sale of

agricultural products is provided by the Census of Agriculture (1992 Census of Agriculture, Vol. 1,

geographic area series conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture). (For more information,

see ‘‘Farm Residence.’’)

Definitions of Subject Characteristics B–49

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
BEDROOMS

The data on bedrooms were obtained from answers to questionnaire Item 39, which was asked at

both occupied and vacant housing units. The number of bedrooms is the count of rooms designed

to be used as bedrooms; that is, the number of rooms that would be listed as bedrooms if the

house, apartment, or mobile home were on the market for sale or for rent. Included are all rooms

intended to be used as bedrooms even if they currently are being used for some other purpose. A

housing unit consisting of only one room, such as a one-room efficiency apartment, is classified,

by definition, as having no bedroom.

Comparability. Data on bedrooms have been collected in every census since 1960. In 1970 and

1980, data for bedrooms were shown only for year-round units. Year-round housing units are all

occupied units plus vacant units available or intended for year round use. Vacant units intended

for seasonal occupancy and migratory laborers are excluded. Since 1990, these data are shown

for all housing units. Prior to 1990, a room was defined as a bedroom if it was used mainly for

sleeping even if it also was used for other purposes. Rooms that were designed to be used as

bedrooms but used mainly for other purposes were not classified as bedrooms.

BUSINESS ON PROPERTY

The data for business on property were obtained from answers to questionnaire Item 48a, which

was asked of all occupied and vacant 1-family houses and mobile homes. This question is used to

exclude owner-occupied, 1-family houses with business or medical offices on the property from

certain statistics on financial characteristics.

A business must be easily recognizable from the outside. It usually will have a separate outside

entrance and have the appearance of a business, such as a grocery store, restaurant, or barber

shop. It may be either attached to the house or mobile home or be located elsewhere on the

property. Those housing units in which a room is used for business or professional purposes and

have no recognizable alterations to the outside are not considered to have a business. Medical

offices are considered businesses for tabulation purposes.

Comparability. Data on business on property have been collected since 1940.

CONDOMINIUM FEE

The data on condominium fee were obtained from answers to questionnaire Item 56, which was

asked at occupied condominiums. A condominium fee normally is charged monthly to the owners

of individual condominium units by the condominium owners’ association to cover operating,

maintenance, administrative, and improvement costs of the common property (grounds, halls,

lobby, parking areas, laundry rooms, swimming pool, etc.). The costs for utilities and/or fuels may

be included in the condominium fee if the units do not have separate meters.

The data from this item were added to payments for mortgages (both first, second, home equity

loans, and other junior mortgages); real estate taxes; fire, hazard, and flood insurance payments;

and utilities and fuels to derive ‘‘Selected Monthly Owner Costs’’ and ‘‘Selected Monthly Owner

Costs as a Percentage of Household Income in 1999’’ for condominium owners.

Comparability. Data on condominium fees were collected for the first time in 1990. In previous

decennial censuses, a question on whether a unit was part of a condominium also was asked. The

question on condominium status was not asked in Census 2000.

CONDOMINIUM STATUS

The data on condominium housing units were obtained from answers to questionnaire Item 47,

which was asked at both occupied and vacant housing units. Condominium is a type of ownership

that enables a person to own an apartment or house in a development of similarly owned units

and to hold a common or joint ownership of some or all of the common areas as facilities, such as

land, the roof, hallways, entrances, elevators, a swimming pool, etc. Condominiums may be

B–50 Definitions of Subject Characteristics

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
single-family houses or units in apartment buildings. A condominium unit need not be occupied

by the owner to be counted as such. A unit classified as ‘‘mobile home,’’ ‘‘boat or houseboat,’’ or

‘‘RV, van, tent, etc.,’’ cannot be a condominium unit. (See discussion on ‘‘Units in Structure.’’)

Limitation of the Data.

Testing done in the United States prior to the 1980 and 1990 censuses indicated that the number

of condominiums may be slightly overstated.

Comparability.

In 1970, condominiums were grouped together with cooperative housing units, and the data were

reported only for owner-occupied cooperatives and condominiums. Beginning in 1980, the census

identified all condominium units, and the data were shown for renter-occupied and vacant

year-round condominiums, as well as owner occupied.

CONTRACT RENT

The data on contract rent (also referred to as ‘‘rent asked’’ for vacant units) were obtained from

answers to questionnaire Item 50, which was asked at occupied housing units that were rented

for cash rent and vacant housing units that were for rent at the time of enumeration.

Housing units that are renter occupied without payment of cash rent are shown separately as ‘‘No

cash rent’’ in census data products. The unit may be owned by friends or relatives who live

elsewhere and who allow occupancy without charge. Rent-free houses or apartments may be

provided to compensate caretakers, ministers, tenant farmers, sharecroppers, or others.

Contract rent is the monthly rent agreed to or contracted for, regardless of any furnishings,

utilities, fees, meals, or services that may be included. For vacant units, it is the monthly rent

asked for the rental unit at the time of enumeration.

If the contract rent includes rent for a business unit or for living quarters occupied by another

household, only that part of the rent estimated to be for the respondent’s unit was included.

Excluded was any rent paid for additional units or for business premises.

If a renter pays rent to the owner of a condominium or cooperative, and the condominium fee or

cooperative carrying charge also is paid by the renter to the owner, the condominium fee or

carrying charge was included as rent.

If a renter receives payments from lodgers or roomers who are listed as members of the

household, the rent without deduction for any payments received from the lodgers or roomers

was to be reported. The respondent was to report the rent agreed to or contracted for even if paid

by someone else such as friends or relatives living elsewhere, a church or welfare agency, or the

government through subsidies or vouchers.

In some tabulations, contract rent is presented for all renter-occupied housing units, as well as

specified renter-occupied and vacant-for-rent units. (For more information on rent, see ‘‘Gross

Rent.’’)

Specified renter-occupied and specified vacant-for-rent units. In some tabulations,

contract rent is presented for specified renter-occupied and vacant-for-rent units. Specified

renter-occupied and specified vacant-for-rent units exclude 1-family houses on 10 acres or more.

Median and quartile contract rent. The median divides the rent distribution into two equal

parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median contract rent and one-half above the median.

Quartiles divide the rent distribution into four equal parts. Median and quartile contract rent are

computed on the basis of a standard distribution (see the ‘‘Standard Distributions’’ section under

‘‘Derived Measures’’). In computing median and quartile contract rent, units reported as ‘‘No cash

rent’’ are excluded. Median and quartile rent calculations are rounded to the nearest whole dollar.

Upper and lower quartiles can be used to note large rent differences among various geographic

areas. (For more information on medians and quartiles, see ‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

Definitions of Subject Characteristics B–51

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Aggregate contract rent. Aggregate contract rent is calculated by adding all of the contract

rents for occupied housing units in an area. Aggregate contract rent is subject to rounding, which

means that all cells in a matrix are rounded to the nearest hundred dollars. (For more information,

see ‘‘Rounding’’ or ‘‘Aggregate’’ under ‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

Aggregate rent asked. Aggregate rent asked is calculated by adding all of the rents for

vacant-for-rent housing units in an area. Aggregate rent asked is subject to rounding, which

means that all cells in a matrix are rounded to the nearest hundred dollars. (For more information,

see ‘‘Aggregate’’ under ‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

Limitation of the data. In previous censuses, including 1990, contract rent for vacant units had

high allocation rates (about 35 percent).

Comparability. Data on this item have been collected since 1930.

For 1990, data on quartiles were added. In Census 2000, respondents wrote in the contract rent

amount. In previous decennial censuses, respondents marked the appropriate contract rent box

shown as ranges on the questionnaire.

COOKING FUEL

The data on cooking fuel were obtained from answers to questionnaire Item 43, which was asked

at occupied housing units. The data show the type of fuel used most for cooking.

Bottled or tank gas. Includes liquid propane gas stored in bottles and tanks, which are refilled

or exchanged when empty.

Electricity. Electricity is generally supplied by means of above or underground electric power

lines.

Fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Includes fuel oil, kerosene, gasoline, alcohol, and other combustible

liquids.

Wood or charcoal. Includes purchased wood or charcoal, wood cut by household members on

their property or elsewhere, driftwood, sawmill or construction scraps, or the like.

Other fuel. Includes all other fuels not specified elsewhere.

No fuel used. Includes units that do not use any fuel or that do not have heating equipment.

Comparability. Data on cooking fuel were collected for the first time in 1980.

FARM RESIDENCE

The data on farm residence were obtained from answers to questionnaire Items 48b and 48c. An

occupied 1-family house or mobile home is classified as a farm residence if: (1) the housing unit is

located on a property of 1 acre or more, and (2) at least $100 worth of agricultural products were

sold from the property in 1999. Group quarters and housing units that are in multiunit buildings

or are vacant are not included as farm residences.

The farm population consists of people in households living in farm residences. Some people who

are counted on a property classified as a farm (including, in some cases, farm workers) are

excluded from the farm population. Such people include those who reside in multiunit buildings

or group quarters.

Comparability. These are the same criteria that were used to define a farm residence in 1980

and 1990. In 1960 and 1970, a farm was defined as a place of 10 or more acres with at least $50

worth of agricultural sales or a place of less than 10 acres with at least $250 worth of agricultural

sales. Earlier censuses used other definitions. The definition of a farm residence differs from the

definition of a farm in the Census of Agriculture (1992 Census of Agriculture, Vol. 1, geographic

area series conducted by the Department of Agriculture).

B–52 Definitions of Subject Characteristics

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
GROSS RENT

The data on gross rent were obtained from answers to questionnaire Items 49a-d. Gross rent is

the contract rent plus the estimated average monthly cost of utilities (electricity, gas, water and

sewer) and fuels (oil, coal, kerosene, wood, etc.) if these are paid by the renter (or paid for the

renter by someone else). Gross rent is intended to eliminate differentials that result from varying

practices with respect to the inclusion of utilities and fuels as part of the rental payment. The

estimated costs of utilities and fuels are reported on an annual basis but are converted to monthly

figures for the tabulations. Renter units occupied without payment of cash rent are shown

separately as ‘‘No cash rent’’ in the tabulations.

Median gross rent. Median gross rent divides the gross rent distribution into two equal parts:

one-half of the cases falling below the median gross rent and one-half above the median. Median

gross rent is computed on the basis of a standard distribution (see the ‘‘Standard Distributions’’

section under ‘‘Derived Measures’’). Median gross rent is rounded to the nearest whole dollar. (For

more information on medians, see ‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

Aggregate gross rent. Aggregate gross rent is calculated by adding together all the gross rents

for all occupied housing units in an area. Aggregate gross rent is subject to rounding, which

means that all cells in a matrix are rounded to the nearest hundred dollars. (For more information,

see ‘‘Rounding’’ or ‘‘Aggregate’’ under ‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

Comparability. Data on gross rent have been collected since 1940 for renter-occupied housing

units. In Census 2000, questionnaire Item 49c asked the annual costs for water and sewer in an

effort to obtain all costs associated with water usage.

GROSS RENT AS A PERCENTAGE OF HOUSEHOLD INCOME IN 1999

Gross rent as a percentage of household income in 1999 is a computed ratio of monthly gross

rent to monthly household income (total household income in 1999 divided by 12). The ratio is

computed separately for each unit and is rounded to the nearest whole percentage. Units for

which no cash rent is paid and units occupied by households that reported no income or a net

loss in 1999 comprise the category ‘‘Not computed.’’

Median gross rent as a percentage of household income in 1999. This measure divides

the gross rent as a percentage of household income distribution into two equal parts, one-half of

the cases falling below the median gross rent as a percentage of household income and one-half

above the median. Median gross rent as a percentage of household income is computed on the

basis of a standard distribution (see the ‘‘Standard Distributions’’ section under ‘‘Derived

Measures’’). Median selected gross rent as a percentage of household income is rounded to the

nearest whole tenth. (For more information on medians, see ‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

HOUSEHOLD SIZE

This item is based on the count of people in occupied housing units. All people occupying the

housing unit are counted, including the householder, occupants related to the householder, and

lodgers, roomers, boarders, and so forth.

For products based on population data, ‘‘household size’’ is the number of people in households.

The count of ‘‘occupied housing units’’ may not match the count of ‘‘households.’’ Consequently,

the household size measures derived from housing and population-based data also may differ.

Average household size of occupied unit. A measure obtained by dividing the number of

people living in occupied housing units by the number of occupied housing units. This measure is

rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Average household size of owner-occupied unit. A measure obtained by dividing the

number of people living in owner-occupied housing units by the total number of owner-occupied

housing units. This measure is rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Definitions of Subject Characteristics B–53

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Average household size of renter-occupied unit. A measure obtained by dividing the

number of people living in renter-occupied housing units by the total number of renter-occupied

housing units. This measure is rounded to the nearest hundredth.

INSURANCE FOR FIRE, HAZARD, AND FLOOD

The data on fire, hazard, and flood insurance were obtained from answers to questionnaire Item

54, which was asked at all owner-occupied housing units. The statistics for this item refer to the

annual premium for fire, hazard, and flood insurance on the property (land and buildings); that is,

policies that protect the property and its contents against loss due to damage by fire, lightning,

winds, hail, flood, explosion, and so on.

Liability policies are included only if they are paid with the fire, hazard, and flood insurance

premiums and the amounts for fire, hazard, and flood cannot be separated. Premiums are

reported even if they have not been paid or are paid by someone outside the household. When

premiums are paid on other than an annual basis, the premiums are converted to an annual basis.

The payment for fire, hazard, and flood insurance is added to payments for real estate taxes,

utilities, fuels, and mortgages (both first, second, home equity loans, and other junior mortgages)

to derive ‘‘Selected Monthly Owner Costs’’ and ‘‘Selected Monthly Owner Costs as a Percentage of

Household Income in 1999.’’

A separate questionnaire item (51d) determines whether insurance premiums are included in the

mortgage payment to the lender(s). This makes it possible to avoid counting these premiums

twice in the computations.

Comparability. Data on payment for fire and hazard insurance were collected for the first time

in 1980. Flood insurance was not specifically mentioned in the wording of the question in 1980.

In 1990, the question was modified to include flood insurance. It was asked at 1family,

owner-occupied houses; mobile homes; and condominiums. In Census 2000, the question was

asked at all owner-occupied housing units.

KITCHEN FACILITIES

Data on kitchen facilities were obtained from answers to questionnaire Item 41, which was asked

at both occupied and vacant housing units. A unit has complete kitchen facilities when it has all of

the following: (1) a sink with piped water; (2) a range, or cook top and oven; and (3) a

refrigerator. All kitchen facilities must be located in the house, apartment, or mobile home, but

they need not be in the same room. A housing unit having only a microwave or portable heating

equipment, such as a hot plate or camping stove, should not be considered as having complete

kitchen facilities. An ice box is not considered to be a refrigerator.

Comparability. Data on complete kitchen facilities were collected for the first time in 1970.

Earlier censuses collected data on individual components, such as kitchen sink and type of

refrigeration equipment. In 1970 and 1980, data for kitchen facilities were shown only for

year-round units. Since 1990, data are shown for all housing units.

Prior to Census 2000, the kitchen facilities only had to be located in the structure, not in the unit.

For example, if an apartment did not have complete kitchen facilities, but these facilities were

present elsewhere in the building, the item would have been marked ‘‘yes’’ prior to Census 2000,

but ‘‘no’’ in Census 2000.

MEALS INCLUDED IN RENT

The data on meals included in the rent were obtained from answers to questionnaire Item 50b,

which was asked at all occupied housing units that were rented for cash rent and vacant housing

units that were for rent at the time of enumeration.

The statistics on meals included in rent are presented for specified renter-occupied and specified

vacant-for-rent units. Specified renter-occupied and specified vacant-for-rent units exclude 1-family

houses on ten or more acres. (For more information, see ‘‘Contract Rent.’’)

B–54 Definitions of Subject Characteristics

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Comparability. This was a new item in 1990 used to measure ‘‘congregate’’ housing, which

generally is considered to be housing units where the rent includes meals and other services, such

as transportation to shopping and recreation.

MOBILE HOME OR BOAT COSTS

The data on mobile home/boat costs were obtained from answers to questionnaire Items 57a and

57b, which were asked at all owner-occupied mobile homes or boats. Questionnaire Item 57a asks

if there is an installment loan or contract on the mobile home or boat. This is a payment plan for

mobile homes and boats similar to buying a car or appliance. If the mobile home is not

permanently attached to the land it may not be considered real estate and thus will not have a

mortgage. With an installment loan, the buyer pays a specified amount per month for a specified

number of months. The mobile home or boat is the collateral for the loan, similar to a car loan.

The data derived from Question 57b include the total annual costs for installment loan payments,

personal property taxes, site rent, marina fees, registration fees, and license fees on

owner-occupied mobile homes or boats. The instructions are to exclude real estate taxes already

reported in questionnaire Item 49.

Costs are estimated as closely as possible when exact costs are not known. Amounts are the total

for an entire 12-month billing period, even if they are paid by someone outside the household or

remain unpaid.

The data from this item are added to payments for mortgages; real estate taxes; fire, hazard, and

flood insurance payments; utilities; and fuels to derive selected monthly owner costs for mobile

home or boat owners.

Comparability. Data for mobile home and boat costs were collected for the first time in 1990.

In Census 2000, a question was added to determine if there was an installment loan or contract

on the mobile home or boat.

MORTGAGE PAYMENT

The data on mortgage payment were obtained from answers to questionnaire Item 51b, which

was asked at owner-occupied housing units. Questionnaire Item 51b provides the regular monthly

amount required to be paid to the lender for the first mortgage (deed of trust, contract to

purchase, or similar debt) on the property. Amounts are included even if the payments are

delinquent or paid by someone else. The amounts reported are included in the computation of

‘‘Selected Monthly Owner Costs’’ and ‘‘Selected Monthly Owner Costs as a Percentage of

Household Income in 1999’’ for units with a mortgage.

The amounts reported include everything paid to the lender including principal and interest

payments; real estate taxes; fire, hazard, and flood insurance payments; and mortgage insurance

premiums. Separate questions determine whether real estate taxes and fire, hazard, and flood

insurance payments are included in the mortgage payment to the lender. This makes it possible to

avoid counting these components twice in the computation of ‘‘Selected Monthly Owner Costs.’’

Comparability. Information on mortgage payment was collected for the first time in 1980. In

1990, the questions on monthly mortgage payments were asked at owner-occupied, 1-family

houses; mobile homes; and condominiums. In Census 2000, the question was asked at all

owner-occupied housing units.

The 1980 census obtained total regular monthly mortgage payments, including payments on

second or other junior mortgages, from a single question. Beginning in 1990, two questions were

asked; one for regular monthly payments on first mortgages, and one for regular monthly

payments on second mortgages, home equity loans, and other junior mortgages. (For more

information, see ‘‘Second or Junior Mortgage or Home Equity Loan.’’)

Definitions of Subject Characteristics B–55

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
MORTGAGE STATUS

The data on mortgage status were obtained from answers to questionnaire Items 51a and 52a,

which were asked at owner-occupied housing units. ‘‘Mortgage’’ refers to all forms of debt where

the property is pledged as security for repayment of the debt, including deeds of trust; trust

deeds; contracts to purchase; land contracts; junior mortgages; and home equity loans.

A mortgage is considered a first mortgage if it has prior claim over any other mortgage or if it is

the only mortgage on the property. All other mortgages, (second, third, etc.) are considered junior

mortgages. A home equity loan is generally a junior mortgage. If no first mortgage is reported,

but a junior mortgage or home equity loan is reported, then the loan is considered a first

mortgage.

In most census data products, the tabulations for ‘‘Selected Monthly Owner Costs’’ and ‘‘Selected

Monthly Owner Costs as a Percentage of Household Income in 1999’’ usually are shown separately

for units ‘‘with a mortgage’’ and for units ‘‘not mortgaged.’’ The category ‘‘not mortgaged’’ is

comprised of housing units owned free and clear of debt.

Comparability. This item was asked for the first time in 1980. In 1980, the mortgage status

questions were asked at owner-occupied 1-family houses on less than 3 acres. Excluded were

mobile homes, boats, condominiums, houses with a business or medical office, houses on 3 or

more acres, and housing units in multiunit buildings. In 1990, the questions were asked of all

1-family, owner-occupied housing units including houses on 10 or more acres. They were also

asked at mobile homes, boats, condominiums, and houses with a business or medical office.

In Census 2000, the questions were asked at all owner-occupied housing units. In addition, the

answer categories distinguished between the presence of a second mortgage and a home equity

loan.

OCCUPANTS PER ROOM

Occupants per room is obtained by dividing the number of people in each occupied housing unit

by the number of rooms in the unit. The figures show the number of occupied housing units

having the specified ratio of people per room. Although the Census Bureau has no official

definition of crowded units, many users consider units with more than one occupant per room to

be crowded. Occupants per room is rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Mean occupants per room. This is computed by dividing occupants in housing units by the

aggregate number of rooms. This is intended to provide a measure of utilization or crowding. A

higher mean may indicate a greater degree of utilization or crowding; a low mean may indicate

under-utilization. Mean occupants per room is rounded to the nearest hundredth. (For more

information on means, see ‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

PLUMBING FACILITIES

The data on plumbing facilities were obtained from answers to questionnaire Item 40, which was

asked at both occupied and vacant housing units. Complete plumbing facilities include: (1) hot

and cold piped water, (2) a flush toilet, and (3) a bathtub or shower. All three facilities must be

located inside the house, apartment, or mobile home, but not necessarily in the same room.

Housing units are classified as lacking complete plumbing facilities when any of the three facilities

is not present.

Comparability. The 1990 census and Census 2000 data on complete plumbing facilities are not

strictly comparable with the 1980 data. Before 1990, complete plumbing facilities were defined as

hot and cold piped water, a bathtub or shower, and a flush toilet in the housing unit for the

exclusive use of the residents of that unit. In 1990, the Census Bureau dropped the requirement of

exclusive use from the definition of complete plumbing facilities. From 1940 to 1970, separate

and more detailed questions were asked on piped water, bathing, and toilet facilities. In 1970 and

1980, the data on plumbing facilities were shown only for year-round housing units.

B–56 Definitions of Subject Characteristics

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
POPULATION IN OCCUPIED UNITS

The data shown for population in occupied units is the total population minus any people living in

group quarters. All people occupying the housing unit are counted, including the householder,

occupants related to the householder, and lodgers, roomers, boarders, and so forth. (For more

information, see ‘‘Living Quarters.’’)

Average household size of occupied unit. A measure obtained by dividing the number of

people living in occupied housing units by the number of occupied housing units.

Average household size of owner-occupied unit. A measure obtained by dividing the

number of people living in owner-occupied housing units by the number of owner-occupied

housing units.

Average household size of renter-occupied unit. A measure obtained by dividing the

number of people living in renter-occupied housing units by the number of renter-occupied

housing units.

REAL ESTATE TAXES

The data on real estate taxes were obtained from answers to questionnaire Item 53, which was

asked at owner-occupied housing units. The statistics from this question refer to the total amount

of all real estate taxes on the entire property (land and buildings) payable in 1999 to all taxing

jurisdictions, including special assessments, school taxes, county taxes, and so forth.

Real estate taxes include state, local, and all other real estate taxes even if delinquent, unpaid, or

paid by someone who is not a member of the household. However, taxes due from prior years are

not included. If taxes are not paid on a yearly basis, the payments are converted to a yearly basis.

The payment for real estate taxes is added to payments for fire, hazard, and flood insurance;

utilities and fuels; and mortgages (both first and second, home equity loans, and other junior

mortgages) to derive ‘‘Selected Monthly Owner Costs’’ and ‘‘Selected Monthly Owner Costs as a

Percentage of Household Income in 1999.’’ A separate question (51c) determines whether real

estate taxes are included in the mortgage payment to the lender(s). This makes it possible to

avoid counting taxes twice in the computations.

Median real estate taxes. Median real estate taxes divides the real estate taxes distribution

into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median real estate taxes and one-half

above the median. Median real estate taxes is computed on the basis of a standard distribution

(see the ‘‘Standard Distributions’’ section under ‘‘Derived Measures’’). Median real estate taxes is

rounded to the nearest whole dollar. (For more information on medians, see ‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

Comparability. Data for real estate taxes were collected for the first time in 1980. In 1990 and

2000, the question was asked at all owner-occupied housing units including houses on 10 or

more acres. It was also asked at mobile homes, condominiums, and 1-family houses with a

business or medical office on the property.

ROOMS

The data on rooms were obtained from answers to questionnaire Item 38, which was asked at

both occupied and vacant housing units. The statistics on rooms are presented in terms of the

number of housing units with a specified number of rooms. The intent of this question is to count

the number of whole rooms used for living purposes.

For each unit, rooms include living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, finished recreation

rooms, enclosed porches suitable for year-round use, and lodgers’ rooms. Excluded are strip or

pullman kitchens, bathrooms, open porches, balconies, halls or foyers, half-rooms, utility rooms,

unfinished attics or basements, or other unfinished space used for storage. A partially divided

room is a separate room only if there is a partition from floor to ceiling, but not if the partition

consists solely of shelves or cabinets.

Definitions of Subject Characteristics B–57

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Median rooms. This measure divides the rooms distribution into two equal parts, one-half of

the cases falling below the median number of rooms and one-half above the median. Median

rooms is computed on the basis of a standard distribution (see the ‘‘Standard Distributions’’

section under ‘‘Derived Measures’’). In computing median rooms, the whole number is used as the

midpoint of the interval; thus, the category ‘‘3 rooms’’ is treated as an interval ranging from 2.5 to

3.5 rooms. Median rooms is rounded to the nearest tenth. (For more information on medians, see

‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

Aggregate rooms. To calculate aggregate rooms, an arbitrary value of ‘‘10’’ is assigned to

rooms for units falling within the terminal category, ‘‘9 or more.’’ (For more information on

aggregates, see ‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

Comparability. Data on rooms have been collected since 1940. In 1970 and 1980, these data

were shown only for year-round housing units. Since 1990, these data are shown for all housing

units.

SECOND OR JUNIOR MORTGAGE PAYMENT OR HOME EQUITY LOAN

The data on second mortgage or home equity loan payments were obtained from answers to

questionnaire Items 52a and 52b, which were asked at owner-occupied housing units. Question

52a asks whether a second or junior mortgage or a home equity loan exists on the property.

Question 52b asks for the regular monthly amount required to be paid to the lender on all junior

mortgages and home equity loans. Amounts are included even if the payments are delinquent or

paid by someone else. The amounts reported are included in the computation of ‘‘Selected

Monthly Owner Costs’’ and ‘‘Selected Monthly Owner Costs as a Percentage of Household Income

in 1999’’ for units with a mortgage.

All mortgages other than first mortgages (for example, second, third, etc.) are classified as

‘‘junior’’ mortgages. A second mortgage is a junior mortgage that gives the lender a claim against

the property that is second to the claim of the holder of the first mortgage. Any other junior

mortgage(s) would be subordinate to the second mortgage. A home equity loan is a line of credit

available to the borrower that is secured by real estate. It may be placed on a property that

already has a first or second mortgage, or it may be placed on a property that is owned free and

clear.

If the respondents answered that no first mortgage existed, but a second mortgage or a home

equity loan did, a computer edit assigned the unit a first mortgage and made the first mortgage

monthly payment the amount reported in the second mortgage. The second mortgage/home

equity loan data were then made ‘‘No’’ in Question 52a and blank in Question 52b.

Comparability. The 1980 census obtained total regular monthly mortgage payments, including

payments on second or junior mortgages, from one single question. Beginning in 1990, two

questions were used: one for regular monthly payments on first mortgages, and one for regular

monthly payments on second or junior mortgages and home equity loans.

The 1990 census did not allow respondents to distinguish between a second mortgage or a home

equity loan. In Census 2000, Question 52a allows the respondent to choose multiple answers,

thereby identifying the specific type of second mortgage. In 1990, the second or junior mortgage

questions were asked at 1-family, owner-occupied housing units; mobile homes; and

condominiums. In Census 2000, the questions were asked at owner-occupied housing units.

SELECTED CONDITIONS

The variable ‘‘Selected conditions’’ is defined for owner- and renter-occupied housing units as

having at least one of the following conditions: (1) lacking complete plumbing facilities, (2)

lacking complete kitchen facilities, (3) with 1.01 or more occupants per room, or (4) selected

monthly owner costs as a percentage of household income in 1999 greater than 30 percent, and

gross rent as a percentage of household income in 1999 greater than 30 percent.

B–58 Definitions of Subject Characteristics

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Comparability. Data on ‘‘Selected Conditions’’ were shown for the first time in the 1990

Summary Tape File 4. The same conditions were identified in Census 2000.

SELECTED MONTHLY OWNER COSTS

The data on selected monthly owner costs were obtained from answers to questionnaire Items

49a-d, 51b, 52b, 53, 54, 56, and 57b, which were asked at owner-occupied housing units.

Selected monthly owner costs are the sum of payments for mortgages, deeds of trust, contracts

to purchase, or similar debts on the property (including payments for the first mortgage, second

mortgage, home equity loans, and other junior mortgages); real estate taxes; fire, hazard, and

flood insurance on the property; utilities (electricity, gas, and water and sewer); and fuels (oil,

coal, kerosene, wood, etc.). It also includes, where appropriate, the monthly condominium fees or

mobile home costs (installment loan payments, personal property taxes, site rent, registration

fees, and license fees). The data are shown for all owner-occupied housing units and specified

owner-occupied housing units.

Specified owner-occupied housing units. Specified owner-occupied housing units include only

1-family houses on less than 10 acres without a business or medical office on the property. The

data for ‘‘specified units’’ exclude mobile homes, houses with a business or medical office, houses

on 10 or more acres, and housing units in multiunit buildings. Data usually are shown separately

for units ‘‘with a mortgage’’ and for units ‘‘not mortgaged.’’

Median selected monthly owner costs. This measure divides the selected monthly owner

costs distribution into two equal parts, one-half of the cases falling below the median selected

monthly owner costs and one-half above the median. Medians are shown separately for units

‘‘with a mortgage’’ and for units ‘‘not mortgaged.’’ Median selected monthly owner costs is

computed on the basis of a standard distribution (see the ‘‘Standard Distributions’’ section under

‘‘Derived Measures’’). Median selected monthly owner costs is rounded to the nearest whole dollar.

(For more information on medians, see ‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

Aggregate selected monthly owner costs. Aggregate selected monthly owner costs is

calculated by adding together all the selected monthly owner costs for all occupied housing units

in an area. Aggregate selected monthly owner costs is subject to rounding, which means that all

cells in a matrix are rounded to the nearest hundred dollars. (For more information, see

‘‘Rounding’’ or ‘‘Aggregate’’ under ‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

Comparability. The components of selected monthly owner costs were collected for the first

time in 1980. In 1990, the questions related to selected monthly owner costs were asked at

1-family, owner-occupied houses; mobile homes; and condominiums. In Census 2000, the

questions related to selected monthly owner costs were asked at all owner-occupied housing

units. Question 57a, ‘‘Do you have an installment loan or contract on this mobile home or boat?’’

was added in Census 2000 to determine the existence of installment loans or contracts on mobile

home units and/or boats.

SELECTED MONTHLY OWNER COSTS AS A PERCENTAGE OF HOUSEHOLD INCOME IN

1999

The information on selected monthly owner costs as a percentage of household income in 1999 is

the computed ratio of selected monthly owner costs to monthly household income in 1999. The

ratio was computed separately for each unit and rounded to the nearest whole percentage. The

data are tabulated separately for all owner-occupied units and specified owner-occupied housing

units.

Separate distributions are often shown for units ‘‘with a mortgage’’ and for units ‘‘not mortgaged.’’

Units occupied by households reporting no income or a net loss in 1999 are included in the ‘‘not

computed’’ category. (For more information, see ‘‘Selected Monthly Owner Costs.’’)

Median selected monthly owner costs as a percentage of household income. This

measure divides the selected monthly owner costs as a percentage of household income

distribution into two equal parts, one-half of the cases falling below the median selected monthly

owner costs as a percentage of household income and one-half above the median. Median

selected monthly owner costs as a percentage of household income is computed on the basis of a

standard distribution (see the ‘‘Standard Distributions’’ section under ‘‘Derived Measures’’). Median

selected monthly owner costs as a percentage of household income is rounded to the nearest

tenth. (For more information on medians, see ‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

SEWAGE DISPOSAL

The data on sewage disposal were obtained from questionnaire Item 46, which was asked at both

occupied and vacant housing units. Housing units are either connected to a public sewer, to a

septic tank or cesspool, or they dispose of sewage by other means. A public sewer may be

operated by a government body or by a private organization. A housing unit is considered to be

connected to a septic tank or cesspool when the unit is provided with an underground pit or tank

for sewage disposal. The category, ‘‘Other means’’ includes housing units which dispose of

sewage in some other way.

Comparability. Data on sewage disposal have been collected since 1940. In 1970 and 1980,

data were shown only for year-round housing units. In 2000 and 1990, data are shown for all

housing units.

SOURCE OF WATER

The data on source of water were obtained from questionnaire Items 45a and 45b, which were

asked at both occupied and vacant housing units. Housing units may receive their water supply

from a number of sources. A common source supplying water to five or more units is classified as

‘‘a public system only’’ or ‘‘a public system and cistern.’’ Another source of water may be ‘‘cistern,

tanks, or drums only’’ in which rain water is collected. ‘‘A public standpipe’’ is an elevated tank or

vertical storage cylinder or street hydrant, which is connected to a public system from which

nearby residents draw water. The category ‘‘some other source such as an individual well or a

spring’’ includes water obtained from creeks, rivers, lakes, etc.

Purchase of water from water vendor. Households were asked whether or not water was

purchased from a water vendor from January through December 1999. Households are considered

to have purchased water from a water vendor, even if only one purchase was made during the

year; and even though their primary source of water is from a public system, a public standpipe,

or some other source. Bottled water purchased from a commercial establishment such as a

grocery store or drugstore is not included.

Comparability. Data on source of water have been collected in every census since 1940. In

1970 and 1980, data were shown only for year-round housing units.

TELEPHONE SERVICE AVAILABLE

The data on telephones were obtained from answers to questionnaire Item 42, which was asked

at occupied housing units. Households with telephone service have a telephone in working order

and are able to make and receive calls. Households whose service has been discontinued for

nonpayment or other reasons are not counted as having telephone service available.

Comparability. Data on telephones were collected for the first time in 1990. In Census 2000,

the telephone question emphasizes the availability of service in the house, apartment, or mobile

home. Data on telephone service are needed because an individual can own a telephone but have

no service to make or receive calls. In 1990, respondents were asked about the presence of a

telephone in the housing unit.

TENURE

The data on tenure, which was asked at all occupied housing units, were obtained from answers

to questionnaire Item 34. All occupied housing units are classified as either owner occupied or

renter occupied.

B–60 Definitions of Subject Characteristics

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Owner occupied. A housing unit is owner occupied if the owner or co-owner lives in the unit

even if it is mortgaged or not fully paid for. The owner or co-owner must live in the unit and

usually is Person 1 on the questionnaire. The unit is ‘‘Owned by you or someone in this household

with a mortgage or loan’’ if it is being purchased with a mortgage or some other debt

arrangement, such as a deed of trust, trust deed, contract to purchase, land contract, or purchase

agreement. The unit is also considered owned with a mortgage if it is built on leased land and

there is a mortgage on the unit. Mobile homes occupied by owners with installment loans

balances are also included in this category.

A housing unit is ‘‘Owned by you or someone in this household free and clear (without a

mortgage or loan)’’ if there is no mortgage or other similar debt on the house, apartment, or

mobile home including units built on leased land if the unit is owned outright without a mortgage.

More extensive information is collected on the questionnaire.

Renter occupied. All occupied housing units that are not owner occupied, whether they are

rented for cash rent or occupied without payment of cash rent, are classified as renter occupied.

‘‘No cash rent’’ units are separately identified in the rent tabulations. Such units are generally

provided free by friends or relatives or in exchange for services, such as resident manager,

caretaker, minister, or tenant farmer. Housing units on military bases also are classified in the ‘‘No

cash rent’’ category. ‘‘Rented for cash rent’’ includes units in continuing care, sometimes called life

care arrangements. These arrangements usually involve a contract between one or more

individuals and a service provider guaranteeing the individual shelter, usually a house or

apartment, and services, such as meals or transportation to shopping or recreation. (For more

information, see ‘‘Meals Included in Rent.’’)

Comparability. Data on tenure have been collected for the Virgin Islands since 1930. For 1990,

the response categories were expanded to allow the respondent to report whether the unit was

owned with a mortgage or loan, or free and clear (without a mortgage). The distinction between

units owned with a mortgage and units owned free and clear was added in 1990 to improve the

count of owner-occupied units. Research after the 1980 census indicated some respondents did

not consider their units owned if they had a mortgage. In Census 2000, we continued with the

same tenure categories used in the 1990 census.

UNITS IN STRUCTURE

The data on units in structure (also referred to as ‘‘type of structure’’) were obtained from answers

to questionnaire Item 35, which was asked at both occupied and vacant housing units. A structure

is a separate building that either has open spaces on all sides or is separated from other

structures by dividing walls that extend from ground to roof. In determining the number of units

in a structure, all housing units, both occupied and vacant, are counted. Stores and office space

are excluded. The statistics are presented for the number of housing units in structures of

specified type and size, not for the number of residential buildings.

1-unit, detached. This is a 1-unit structure detached from any other house; that is, with open

space on all four sides. Such structures are considered detached even if they have an adjoining

shed or garage. A 1-family house that contains a business is considered detached as long as the

building has open space on all four sides. Mobile homes to which one or more permanent rooms

have been added or built also are included.

1-unit, attached. This is a 1-unit structure that has one or more walls extending from ground to

roof separating it from adjoining structures. In row houses (sometimes called townhouses),

double houses, or houses attached to nonresidential structures, each house is a separate,

attached structure if the dividing or common wall goes from ground to roof.

2 or more units. These are units in structures containing 2 or more housing units, further

categorized as units in structures with 2, 3 or 4, 5 to 9, 10 to 19, 20 to 49, and 50 or more units.

Mobile home. Both occupied and vacant mobile homes to which no permanent rooms have been

added are counted in this category. Mobile homes used only for business purposes or for extra

sleeping space and mobile homes for sale on a dealer’s lot, at the factory, or in storage are not

counted in the housing inventory. In 1990, the category was ‘‘mobile home or trailer.’’

Definitions of Subject Characteristics B–61

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Boat or houseboat. Included in this category are boats and houseboats that are occupied as

housing units.

RV, van, tent, etc. This category is for any living quarters occupied as a housing unit that does

not fit in the previous categories. Examples that fit in this category are railroad cars, campers, and

vans.

Comparability. Data on units in structure have been collected since 1940, on mobile homes

and trailers since 1950, and on boats since 1980. In 1970 and 1980, these data were shown only

for year-round housing units. A category of ‘‘other’’ was used in 1990, but this category was

greatly overstated. It was replaced by ‘‘RV, van, tent, etc.’’ in Census 2000.

USUAL HOME ELSEWHERE

The data for usual home elsewhere were obtained from the questionnaire, Item A, which was

completed by census enumerators. A housing unit temporarily occupied at the time of

enumeration entirely by people with a usual residence elsewhere was classified as vacant. The

occupants were classified as having a ‘‘Usual home elsewhere’’ and were counted at the address of

their usual place of residence. All usual home elsewhere units were classified as ‘‘For seasonal,

recreational, or occasional use’’ unless the respondent specifically stated the unit had a different

vacancy status (for more information, see ‘‘Vacancy Status’’).

Limitation of the data. Evidence from previous censuses suggests that in some areas

enumerators marked units as ‘‘vacant—usual home elsewhere’’ when they should have marked

‘‘vacant—regular.’’

Comparability. Data for usual home elsewhere were tabulated for the first time in 1980.

UTILITIES

The data on utility costs were obtained from answers to questionnaire Items 49a through 49d,

which were asked at occupied housing units. Questions 49a through 49d asked for the monthly

cost of utilities (electricity, gas, water and sewer) and other fuels (oil, coal, wood, kerosene, etc.).

The average monthly costs are included in the computation of ‘‘Gross Rent,’’ ‘‘Gross Rent as a

Percentage of Household Income in 1999,’’ ‘‘Selected Monthly Owner Costs,’’ and ‘‘Selected

Monthly Owner Costs as a Percentage of Household Income in 1999.’’

Costs are recorded if paid by or billed to occupants, a welfare agency, relatives, or friends. Costs

that are paid by landlords, included in the rent payment, or included in condominium or

cooperative fees are excluded.

Limitation of the data. Research has shown that respondents tended to overstate their

expenses for electricity and gas when compared with utility company records.

Comparability. The data on utility costs were collected for the first time in 1980.

VACANCY STATUS

The data on vacancy status were obtained from the questionnaire, Item C. Vacancy status and

other characteristics of vacant units were determined by census enumerators obtaining

information from landlords, owners, neighbors, rental agents, and others. Vacant units are

subdivided according to their housing market classification as follows:

For rent. These are vacant units offered ‘‘for rent,’’ and vacant units offered either ‘‘for rent’’ or

‘‘for sale.’’

For sale only. These are vacant units offered ‘‘for sale only,’’ including units in cooperatives and

condominium projects if the individual units are offered ‘‘for sale only.’’ If units are offered either

‘‘for rent’’ or ‘‘for sale,’’ they are included in the ‘‘for rent’’ classification.

B–62 Definitions of Subject Characteristics

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Rented or sold, not occupied. If any money rent has been paid or agreed upon but the new

renter has not moved in as of the date of enumeration, or if the unit has recently been sold but

the new owner has not yet moved in, the vacant unit is classified as ‘‘rented or sold, not

occupied.’’

For seasonal, recreational, or occasional use. These are vacant units used or intended for

use only in certain seasons, for weekends, or other occasional use throughout the year. Seasonal

units include those used for summer or winter sports or recreation, such as beach cottages and

hunting cabins. Seasonal units also may include quarters for such workers as herders and loggers.

Interval ownership units, sometimes called shared-ownership or time-sharing condominiums, also

are included in this category.

For migrant workers. These include vacant units intended for occupancy by migratory

workers employed in farm work during the crop season. (Work in a cannery, a freezer plant, or a

food-processing plant is not farm work.)

Other vacant. If a vacant unit does not fall into any of the categories specified above, it is

classified as ‘‘other vacant.’’ For example, this category includes units held for occupancy by a

caretaker or janitor, and units held for personal reasons of the owner.

Available housing. Available housing units are vacant units that are ‘‘for sale only’’ or ‘‘for

rent.’’

Available housing vacancy rate. The available housing vacancy rate is the proportion of the

housing inventory that is available ‘‘for sale only’’ or ‘‘for rent.’’ It is computed by dividing the

number of available units by the sum of occupied units and the number of available units, and

then multiplying by 100. This measure is rounded to the nearest tenth.

Homeowner vacancy rate. The homeowner vacancy rate is the proportion of the homeowner

housing inventory that is vacant ‘‘for sale.’’ It is computed by dividing the number of vacant units

‘‘for sale only’’ by the sum of owner-occupied units and vacant units that are ‘‘for sale only,’’ and

then multiplying by 100. This measure is rounded to the nearest tenth.

Rental vacancy rate. The rental vacancy rate is the proportion of the rental inventory that is

vacant ‘‘for rent.’’ It is computed by dividing the number of vacant units ‘‘for rent’’ by the sum of

renter-occupied units and vacant units that are ‘‘for rent,’’ and then multiplying by 100. This

measure is rounded to the nearest tenth.

Comparability. Data on vacancy status have been collected since 1940. Since 1990, the

category, ‘‘For seasonal, recreational, or occasional use,’’ was used. In earlier censuses, separate

categories were used to collect data on these types of vacant units. Also, in 1970 and 1980,

housing characteristics generally were presented only for year-round units. Beginning in 1990 and

continuing into Census 2000, housing characteristics are shown for all housing units.

VALUE

The data on value (also referred to as ‘‘price asked’’ for vacant units) were obtained from answers

to questionnaire Item 55, which was asked at owner-occupied housing units and units that were

being bought, or vacant for sale at the time of enumeration. Value is the respondent’s estimate of

how much the property (house and lot, mobile home and lot, or condominium unit) would sell for

if it were for sale. If the house or mobile home was owned or being bought, but the land on which

it sits was not, the respondent was asked to estimate the combined value of the house or mobile

home and the land. For vacant units, value was the price asked for the property. Value was

tabulated separately for all owner-occupied and vacant-for-sale housing units, owner-occupied,

and specified owner-occupied housing units, and specified vacant-for-sale housing units.

Specified owner-occupied and specified vacant-for-sale units. Specified owner-occupied

and specified vacant-for-sale housing units include only 1-family houses on less than 10 acres

without a business or medical office on the property. The data for ‘‘specified units’’ exclude mobile

homes, houses with a business or medical office, houses on 10 or more acres, and housing units

in multiunit buildings.

Definitions of Subject Characteristics B–63

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Median and quartile value. The median divides the value distribution into two equal parts:

one-half of the cases falling below the median value of the property (house and lot, mobile home

and lot, or condominium unit) and one-half above the median. Quartiles divide the value

distribution into four equal parts. Median and quartile value are computed on the basis of a

standard distribution (see the ‘‘Standard Distributions’’ section under ‘‘Derived Measures’’). Median

and quartile value calculations are rounded to the nearest hundred dollars. Upper and lower

quartiles can be used to note large value differences among various geographic areas. (For more

information on medians and quartiles, see ‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

Aggregate value. To calculate aggregate value, the amount assigned for the category ‘‘Less than

$10,000’’ is $9,000. The amount assigned to the category ‘‘$1,000,000 or more’’ is $1,250,000.

Aggregate value is rounded to the nearest hundred dollars. (For more information, see ‘‘Rounding’’

or ‘‘Aggregates,’’ see ‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

Aggregate price asked. To calculate aggregate price asked assigned for the category ‘‘Less

than $10,000’’ is $9,000. The amount assigned to the category ‘‘$1,000,000 or more’’ is

$1,250,000. Aggregate price asked is rounded to the nearest hundred dollars. (For more

information, see ‘‘Rounding’’ or ‘‘Aggregates,’’ see ‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

Comparability. In 1980, value was asked only at owner-occupied or vacant-for-sale 1-family

houses on less than 10 acres with no business or medical office on the property and at all

owner-occupied or vacant-for-sale condominium housing units. Mobile homes were excluded.

Value data were presented for specified owner-occupied housing units, specified vacant-for-saleonly housing units, and owner-occupied condominium housing units.

Beginning in 1990, the question was asked at all owner-occupied or vacant-for-sale-only housing

units with no exclusions. Data presented for specified owner-occupied and specified

vacant-for-sale-only housing units include 1-family condominium houses but not condominiums in

multiunit structures.

VEHICLES AVAILABLE

The data on vehicles available were obtained from answers to questionnaire Item 44, which was

asked at occupied housing units. These data show the number of passenger cars, vans, and

pickup or panel trucks of 1-ton capacity or less kept at home and available for the use of

household members. Vehicles rented or leased for 1 month or more, company vehicles, and police

and government vehicles are included if kept at home and used for nonbusiness purposes.

Dismantled or immobile vehicles are excluded. Vehicles kept at home but used only for business

purposes also are excluded.

Vehicles per household (Mean vehicles available). Vehicles per household is computed by

dividing aggregate vehicles available by the number of occupied housing units. Vehicles per

household is rounded to the nearest tenth. (For more information on means, see ‘‘Derived

Measures.’’)

Limitation of the data. The statistics do not measure the number of vehicles privately owned

or the number of households owning vehicles.

Comparability. Data on automobiles available were collected for the first time in 1980. In 1980,

a separate question also was asked on the number of trucks and vans. The data on automobiles

and trucks and vans were presented separately and also as a combined vehicles-available

tabulation. The 1990 and Census 2000 data are comparable to the 1980 vehicles-available

tabulations. In 1990, the terminal category identified ‘‘7 or more’’; this was changed to ‘‘6 or

more’’ in Census 2000.

YEAR HOUSEHOLDER MOVED INTO UNIT

The data on year householder moved into unit were obtained from answers to questionnaire Item

37, which was asked at occupied housing units. These data refer to the year of the latest move by

the householder. If the householder moved back into a housing unit he or she previously

B–64 Definitions of Subject Characteristics

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
occupied, the year of the latest move was reported. If the householder moved from one apartment

to another within the same building, the year the householder moved into the present apartment

was reported. The intent is to establish the year the present occupancy by the householder began.

The year that the householder moved in is not necessarily the same year other members of the

household moved in, although in the great majority of cases an entire household moves at the

same time.

Median year householder moved into unit. Median year householder moved into unit divides

the distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median year

householder moved into unit and one-half above the median. Median year householder moved

into unit is computed on the basis of a standard distribution (see the ‘‘Standard Distributions’’

section under ‘‘Derived Measures’’). Median year householder moved into unit is rounded to the

nearest whole number. (For more information on medians, see ‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

Comparability. In 1960 and 1970, this question was asked of every person and included in

population reports. This item in housing tabulations refers to the year the householder moved in.

Since 1980, the question has been asked only of the householder.

YEAR STRUCTURE BUILT

The data on year structure built were obtained from answers to questionnaire Item 36, which was

asked at both occupied and vacant housing units. Year structure built refers to when the building

was first constructed, not when it was remodeled, added to, or converted. For housing units

under construction that met the housing unit definition—that is, all exterior windows, doors, and

final usable floors were in place—the category ‘‘1999 or 2000’’ was used for tabulations. For

mobile homes, houseboats, RVs, etc., the manufacturer’s model year was assumed to be the year

built. The data relate to the number of units built during the specified periods that were still in

existence at the time of enumeration.

Median year structure built. Median year structure built divides the distribution into two equal

parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median year structure built and one-half above the

median. Median year structure built is computed on the basis of a standard distribution (see the

‘‘Standard Distributions’’ section under ‘‘Derived Measures’’). Median year structure built is

rounded to the nearest whole number. Median age of housing can be obtained by subtracting

median year structure built from 2000. For example, if the median year structure built is 1967,

the median age of housing in that area is 33 years (2000 minus 1967). (For more information on

medians, see ‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

Limitation of the data. Data on year structure built are more susceptible to errors of response

and nonreporting than data on many other items because respondents must rely on their memory

or on estimates by people who have lived in the neighborhood a long time.

Comparability. Data on year structure built were collected for the first time in the 1940 census.

Since then, the response categories have been modified to accommodate the 10-year period

between each census. In the 1980 census, the number of units built before 1940 appeared to be

underreported. In an effort to alleviate this problem, a ‘‘Don’t know’’ category was added in 1990.

Responses of ‘‘Don’t know’’ were treated like blanks and the item was allocated from similar units

by tenure and structure type. However, this led to an extremely high allocation rate for the item

(28 percent). A 1996 test proved inconclusive in determining whether a ‘‘Don’t know’’ category led

to a more accurate count of older units, but the test showed the allocation rate for this item was

greatly reduced by the elimination of the ‘‘Don’t know’’ category. As a result, ‘‘Don’t know’’ was

deleted for Census 2000.

DERIVED MEASURES

Census data products include various derived measures, such as medians, means, and

percentages, as well as certain rates and ratios. Derived measures that round to less than 0.1 are

shown as zero.

Definitions of Subject Characteristics B–65

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Aggregate

See ‘‘Mean.’’

Average

See ‘‘Mean.’’

Interpolation

Interpolation is frequently used to calculate medians or quartiles and to approximate standard

errors from tables based on interval data. Different kinds of interpolation may be used to estimate

the value of a function between two known values, depending on the form of the distribution. The

most common distributional assumption is that the data are linear, resulting in linear

interpolation. However, this assumption may not be valid for income data, particularly when the

data are based on wide intervals. For these cases, a Pareto distribution is assumed and the median

is estimated by interpolating between the logarithms of the upper and lower income limits of the

median category. The Census Bureau estimates median income using the Pareto distribution

within intervals when the intervals are wider than $2,500.

Mean

This measure represents an arithmetic average of a set of values. It is derived by dividing the sum

(or aggregate) of a group of numerical items by the total number of items in that group. For

example, mean household earnings is obtained by dividing the aggregate of all earnings reported

by individuals with earnings living in households by the total number of households with

earnings. (Additional information on means and aggregates is included in the separate

explanations of many population and housing subjects.)

Aggregate. An aggregate is the sum of the values for each of the elements in the universe. For

example, aggregate household income is the sum of the incomes of all households in a given

geographic area. Means are derived by dividing the aggregate by the appropriate universe.

Rounding for selected aggregates. To protect the confidentiality of responses, the aggregates

shown in matrices for the list of subjects below are rounded. This means that the aggregates for

these subjects, except for travel time to work, are rounded to the nearest hundred dollars. Unless

special rounding rules apply (see below); $150 rounds up to $200; $149 rounds down to $100.

Note that each cell in a matrix is rounded individually. This means that an aggregate value shown

for the United States may not necessarily be the sum total of the aggregate values in the matrices

for the states. This also means that the cells in the aggregate matrices may not add to the total

and/or subtotal lines.

Special rounding rules for aggregates

• If the dollar value is between –$100 and +$100, then the dollar value is rounded to $0.

• If the dollar value is less than –$100, then the dollar value is rounded to the nearest –$100.

‘‘costs of utilities and fuels.’’ Selected Monthly Owner Costs includes aggregates of payments for

‘‘mortgages, deeds of trust, contracts to purchase, or similar debts on the property (including

payments for the first mortgage, second mortgage, home equity loans, and other junior

mortgages); real estate taxes; fire, hazard, and flood insurance on the property, and the costs of

utilities and fuels.’’

** Aggregate travel time to work is zero if the aggregate is zero, is rounded to 4 minutes if the

aggregate is 1 to 7 minutes, and is rounded to the nearest multiple of 5 minutes for all other

values (if the aggregate is not already evenly divisible by 5).

Median

This measure represents the middle value (if n is odd) or the average of the two middle values (if

n is even) in an ordered list of n data values. The median divides the total frequency distribution

into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median and one-half above the

median. Each median is calculated using a standard distribution (see below). (For more

information, see ‘‘Interpolation.’’)

For data products displayed in American FactFinder, medians that fall in the upper-most category

of an open-ended distribution will be shown with a plus symbol (+) appended (e.g., ‘‘$2,000+’’ for

contract rent), and medians that fall in the lowest category of an open-ended distribution will be

shown with a minus symbol (-) appended (e.g., ‘‘$100- for contract rent’’). For data products on

CD-ROM and DVD, and data files that are downloaded by users (i.e., FTP files), plus and minus

signs will not be appended. Contract rent, for example will be shown as $2001 if the median falls

in the upper-most category ($2,000 or more) and $99 if the median falls in the lowest category

(Less than $100). (The ‘‘Standard Distributions’’ section below shows the open-ended intervals for

medians.)

Standard distributions. In order to provide consistency in the values within and among data

products, standard distributions from which medians and quartiles are calculated are used for

Census 2000. This is a new approach for Census 2000; in previous censuses medians were not

necessarily based on a single, standard distribution. The Census 2000 standard distributions are

listed below.

Definitions of Subject Characteristics B–73

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Percentage

This measure is calculated by taking the number of items in a group possessing a characteristic of

interest and dividing by the total number of items in that group, and then multiplying by 100.

Quartile

This measure divides a distribution into four equal parts. The first quartile (or lower quartile) is

the value that defines the upper limit of the lowest one-quarter of the cases. The second quartile

is the median. The third quartile (or upper quartile) is defined as the upper limit of the lowest

three quarters of cases in the distribution. Quartiles are presented for certain financial

characteristics, such as housing value and contract rent. The distribution used to compute

quartiles is the same as that used to compute medians for that variable.

Rate

This is a measure of occurrences in a given period of time divided by the possible number of

occurrences during that period. For example, the homeowner vacancy rate is calculated by

dividing the number of vacant units ‘‘for sale only’’ by the sum of owner-occupied units and

vacant units that are ‘‘for sale only,’’ and then multiplying by 100. Rates are sometimes presented

as percentages.

Ratio

This is a measure of the relative size of one number to a second number expressed as the

quotient of the first number divided by the second. For example, the sex ratio is calculated by

dividing the total number of males by the total number of females, and then multiplying by 100.

INTRODUCTION

The Census Bureau conducted the Census 2000 operations in the U.S. Virgin Islands in partnership

with the government of the U.S. Virgin Islands. This partnership ensured that Census 2000 data

met federal legal requirements, as well as the specific needs of the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Census

2000 operations in the U.S. Virgin Islands were built around the following three strategies:

• Strategy One: Build Partnerships at Every Stage of the Process. The Census Bureau and

the government of the U.S. Virgin Islands developed and signed a Memorandum of Agreement

(MOA) that outlined mutual roles and responsibilities. In consultation with the government of

the U.S. Virgin Islands, census questionnaire content was developed to meet the legislative and

programmatic needs of the U.S. Virgin Islands. A separate advertisement and promotion

campaign was developed for the U.S. Virgin Islands to build awareness of the census and boost

participation.

Census 2000 in the U.S. Virgin Islands was conducted using the list/enumerate procedure. This

decision was based on recommendations from U.S. Virgin Islands’ representatives and an

analysis of the various data collection methodologies. Unlike the stateside list/enumerate

procedures, the United States Post Office delivered Advance Census Reports (ACRs), D-13-VI, to

residential addresses in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Respondents were instructed to complete the

form and hold it for an enumerator to pick up.

• Strategy Two: Keep it Simple. Using the findings from our stateside census testing and

research, the Census Bureau designed respondent-friendly questionnaires and forms that were

simpler and easier for respondents to understand and answer and for the enumerators to

administer.

Questionnaires were available in English. Locally produced questionnaire guides were available

in Spanish and other languages spoken in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Be Counted questionnaires were readily available to respondents in convenient locations

identified through consultation with local partners.

• Strategy Three: Use Technology. The Census Bureau made greater use of the telephone as a

data collection tool, in addition to its use in providing assistance to respondents with questions

about Census 2000.

The Census Bureau developed an Office Control System software package for the U.S. Virgin

Islands. The system was designed to check-in questionnaires and address registers and locate

any duplicates or missing questionnaires. The control system also was available at

Headquarters to receive status reports.

Data Collection and Processing Procedures C–1

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
HEADQUARTERS AND FIELD OFFICE STAFFING

Headquarters: The Decennial Management Division (DMD). The DMD provided overall

guidance to the U.S. Virgin Islands regarding field office infrastructure based on staffing

requirements for planned data collection and office operations. The DMD provided the U.S. Virgin

Islands with a calendar of operations and monitored all census data collection operations with the

help of the Census Advisor assigned to the U.S. Virgin Islands. As in previous censuses,

headquarters staff developed all field and office use forms, procedures, and training materials.

The U.S. Virgin Islands was consulted and informed about the development and content of these

materials.

Regional Census Center (RCC). The Boston RCC had responsibility for conducting the TIGER

database updates and for working with the U.S. Virgin Islands on the participant statistical

programs. The Boston RCC also was responsible for producing maps (other than those used by

enumerators) for the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Local Census Office (LCO). The Government of the U.S. Virgin Islands established two LCOs,

one in St. Thomas and one in St. Croix. The Governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands, through the terms

of the MOA, was responsible for selecting the Census Manager for the LCOs. The Census Manager

was responsible for the overall coordination and administration of the LCO, including staffing,

payroll, and census field and office operations. Other staff in the LCO included the

Partnership/Media Specialist, the Assistant Manager for Field Operations (AMFO), the Geographic

Specialist, the Field Operations Supervisor (FOS), the Assistant Manager for Office Operations

(AMOO), crew leaders, and enumerators.

A Census Bureau employee was appointed to work with the Census Manager. This person,

designated as the Census Advisor, worked in the LCOs with the local census staff and was

responsible for ensuring procedures were followed during all office and field data collection

activities.

National Processing Center (NPC), Jeffersonville, Indiana. Once the LCOs closed, the U.S.

Virgin Islands address registers, maps, and questionnaires were shipped to the NPC in

Jeffersonville, Indiana, for check-in, keying, the digitizing of map spots and map features and data

capture.

ENUMERATION AND RESIDENCE RULES

In accordance with census practice dating back to the first decennial census of the U.S. Virgin

Islands in 1930, each person was to be enumerated as an inhabitant of his or her ‘‘usual

residence’’ in Census 2000. Usual residence is the place where the person lives and sleeps most of

the time. 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 people whose usual place of residence is not immediately apparent. Furthermore,

this practice means that people were not always counted as residents of the place where they

happened to be staying on Census Day (April 1, 2000).

Enumeration rules. Each person whose usual residence was in the U.S. Virgin Islands was to be

included in the census, without regard to the person’s legal status or citizenship. As in previous

censuses, people specifically excluded from the census were citizens of foreign countries

temporarily traveling or visiting in the U.S. Virgin Islands who had not established a residence.

Residents of the U.S. Virgin Islands temporarily overseas were to be enumerated at their usual

residence in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Persons with a usual residence outside the U.S. Virgin Islands

were not enumerated in Census 2000.

C–2 Data Collection and Processing Procedures

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
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. If a person had no usual

residence, the person was to be counted where he or she was staying on Census Day.

People temporarily away from their usual residence on Census Day, such as on a vacation or

business trip, were to be counted at their usual residence.

Armed forces personnel in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Members of the U.S. Armed Forces were

counted at their usual residence (the place where they lived and slept most of the time) whether it

was on or off the military installation. Family members of armed forces personnel were counted at

their usual residence (for example, with the armed forces person or at another location).

Personnel assigned to each Navy and Coast Guard vessel with a U.S. homeport were given the

opportunity to report an onshore residence where they usually stayed when they were off the

ship. Those who reported an onshore residence were counted there; those who did not were

counted at their vessel’s homeport.

Personnel on U.S. flag merchant vessels. Crews of U.S. flag merchant vessels docked in a

U.S. Virgin Islands port or sailing from one U.S. Virgin Islands port to another U.S. Virgin Islands

port were counted at their usual onshore residence if they reported one. Those who did not were

counted as residents of the ship and were assigned as follows:

• The U.S. Virgin Islands port if the vessel was docked there on Census Day.

• The port of departure if the ship was sailing from one U.S. Virgin Islands port to another U.S.

Virgin Islands port.

The following crews of U.S. merchant ships were not counted in the U.S. Virgin Islands census:

• Those docked in a port other than in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

• Those sailing from a U.S. Virgin Islands port to a non-U.S. Virgin Islands port.

• Those sailing from a non-U.S. Virgin Islands port to a U.S. Virgin Islands port.

People 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.

People in institutions. People under formally authorized, supervised care or custody, such as

in local jails; juvenile institutions; nursing or convalescent homes for the aged or dependent;

homes, schools, hospitals, or wards for the physically handicapped, mentally retarded, or

mentally ill; or in drug/alcohol recovery facilities were counted at these places.

People in general hospitals. People in general hospitals or wards (including Veterans’ Affairs

hospitals) on Census Day were counted at their usual residence. Newborn babies were counted at

the residence where they would be living.

People in shelters. People staying on Census Day at emergency or transitional shelters with

sleeping facilities for people without housing, such as for abused women or runaway or neglected

youth, were counted at the shelter.

People with multiple residences. People who lived at more than one residence during the

week, month, or year were counted at the place where they lived most of the time.

People away from their usual residence on Census Day. Temporary, migrant, or seasonal

workers who did not report a usual U.S. residence elsewhere were counted as residents of the

place where they were on Census Day.

Data Collection and Processing Procedures C–3

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
In some areas, natural disasters (hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, and so forth) displaced

households from their usual place of residence. If these people reported a destroyed or damaged

residence as their usual residence, they were counted at that location.

People away from their usual residence were counted by means of interviews with other members

of their families, resident managers, or neighbors.

DATA COLLECTION PROCEDURES

Enumeration of housing units. Beginning in late March, enumerators visited and listed every

housing unit and collected the ACR from the household if it was completed prior to the

enumerator’s visit. Otherwise, the enumerator conducted a personal interview to complete a

simplified enumerator questionnaire (D-2(E)VI) at each housing unit or recorded vacant housing

information at vacant units. Enumerators also developed an address list for their assigned area

and map spotted each living quarter’s location on a map.

The ACR and the enumerator questionnaire contained all questions asked of every person at every

housing unit. Each questionnaire contained both basic (stateside 100-percent equivalent) and

detailed (stateside sample equivalent) population and housing questions. Only housing

information was obtained from vacant housing units.

Clerical edit and coding. The enumerators conducted an initial check of the questionnaires for

completeness and consistency. The census office staff performed additional edit checks. Failed

edit cases that didn’t have a telephone number or for whom the office attempt to telephone failed,

were assigned for Field follow-up.

The coding of all written entries, including relationship, race, Hispanic origin, language, place of

birth, migration, place of work, and industry and occupation was done at the U.S. Virgin Islands

Local Census Offices (LCOs). Coded questionnaires were sent to the National Processing Center

(NPC) in Jeffersonville, Indiana, for data capture.

Field follow-up. Follow-up enumerators visited each address in the U.S. Virgin Islands for which

questionnaires were missing to obtain a completed questionnaire. They returned to the

households that could not be reached by telephone to complete missing or incomplete items on

the questionnaires that failed clerical edit. Enumerators also visited housing units that were

enumerated as vacant to verify that they were vacant on Census Day. If they were not vacant on

Census Day, they collected the appropriate information for the housing unit. If a follow-up

enumerator determined that the unit was vacant on Census Day, regardless of the present

occupancy status, the enumerator obtained information about the unit from a neighbor or other

knowledgeable source and filled out a questionnaire for that unit, completing specified items on

the questionnaire for vacant units.

Collecting Data on Populations Living in Nontraditional Households

During a decennial census, the Census Bureau not only counts people living in houses and

apartments, but also must count people who live in group quarters and other nontraditional

housing units, as well as people with no usual residence. Group quarters include nursing homes,

group homes, college dormitories, migrant and seasonal farm worker camps, and military

barracks or installations.

Some of the methods that were used for these special populations are listed below:

• Group quarters enumeration identified the location of all group living quarters and made

advance visits to each special place. ( A special place is a place containing one or more group

quarters where people live or stay other than the usual house or apartment.) Census staff listed

all residents at group quarters in April 2000 and distributed questionnaire packets.

• The Census Bureau designed an operation for Census 2000 called Service-Based Enumeration

(SBE) to improve the count of individuals who might not be included through standard

enumeration methods. The SBE operation was conducted in selected service locations, such as

shelters and soup kitchens, and targeted nonsheltered outdoor locations.

C–4 Data Collection and Processing Procedures

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
• Another special operation counted highly transient individuals living at recreational vehicle

campgrounds and parks, commercial or public campgrounds, marinas, and workers’ quarters at

fairs and carnivals.

• The Census Bureau worked with the Department of Defense and the U.S. Coast Guard to count

individuals living on military installations, and with the U.S. Maritime Administration to identify

maritime vessels for enumeration.

Be Counted Program

The Be Counted Questionnaires were available for people who believed they did not receive a

questionnaire or were not included on a census form. Be Counted Questionnaires were placed at

locations people frequent, such as post offices, community centers, and other convenient places.

The U.S. Virgin Islands Be Counted Questionnaires contained both the basic and detailed

population and housing questions and were available in English.

PROCESSING PROCEDURES

The U.S. Virgin Islands questionnaires were processed in the Census Bureau’s Jeffersonville,

Indiana, processing office. The information supplied to the enumerator by the respondent was

recorded by marking the answers in the appropriate boxes and, in some cases, entering a write-in

response.

The data processing was performed in several stages. All questionnaires passed through a

check-in procedure upon their arrival at the processing office. The U.S. Virgin Islands

questionnaires were keyed, and the resulting file was sent to the Census Bureau headquarters for

editing and tabulating operations. The files were prepared at headquarters using the Integrated

Microcomputer Processing System (IMPs).

GLOSSARY

100-Percent Data

Information based on population and housing questions collected from every inhabitant and

housing unit in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Address List Review

As part of the Memorandum of Agreement for the U.S. Virgin Islands, the governor designated a

committee to review the Address Listing Pages and census maps once census enumeration was

complete. The committee compared the local estimates for housing unit counts and the group

quarters population with the census results shown on the local review map spotted maps and

Address Listing Pages. Any problems were documented on a Local Government Review Listing

Form and resolved before the LCOs closed.

Advance Notice Letter

This letter was part of the questionnaire mailing strategy. This strategy included a blanket mailing

to all residential customers of an advance notice letter, followed by a blanket mailing of advance

questionnaires.

American FactFinder (AFF)

An electronic system for access and dissemination of Census Bureau data. The system is available

through the Internet and offers prepackaged data products and the ability to build custom

products. The system serves as the vehicle for accessing and disseminating data from Census

2000. The system was formerly known as the Data Access and Dissemination System (DADS).

Data Collection and Processing Procedures C–5

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Be Counted Enumeration and Be Counted Form

The Be Counted enumeration procedure targets areas that are traditionally undercounted.

Unaddressed census questionnaires (Be Counted forms) are placed at selected sites where people

who believe they were not counted can pick them up, complete them, and mail them to the Local

Census Office. The sites are in targeted areas that local government and community groups, in

conjunction with the Census Bureau, identify.

Census 2000 Publicity Office (C2PO)

An office at the Census Bureau which developed, implemented, and coordinated an integrated

marketing program for Census 2000, including paid advertising, public relations, partnerships,

and local outreach.

Confidentiality

The guarantee made by law (Title 13, United States Code) to individuals who provide census

information regarding nondisclosure of that information to others.

Confidentiality Edit

The name for the Census 2000 disclosure avoidance procedure.

Data Access and Dissemination System (DADS)

The system is now known as the American FactFinder (AFF).

Decennial Census

The Census of Population and Housing, taken by the Census Bureau in years ending in 0 (zero).

Article I of the Constitution requires that a census be taken every 10 years for the purpose of

reapportioning the U.S. House of Representatives. Title 13 of the U.S. Code, which sets out the

basic laws under which the Census Bureau conducts the census, specifies that the U.S. Virgin

Islands shall be included in the decennial census.

Derived Measures

Census data products include various derived measures, such as medians, means, and

percentages, as well as certain rates and ratios. Derived measures that round to less than 0.1 are

normally indicated as 0.

Disclosure Avoidance (DA)

Statistical methods used in the tabulation of data prior to releasing data products to ensure the

confidentiality of responses.

Family

A group of two or more people who reside together and who are related by birth, marriage, or

adoption.

Field Follow-Up

Field follow-up (FFU) in the U.S.Virgin Islands was an operation designed to collect missing

questionnaires, follow-up on questionnaires that failed edit, and verify housing units classified as

vacant. This operation was designed to improve data quality and coverage.

Geocoding

A code assigned to identify a geographic entity; to assign an address (such as a housing unit,

business, industry, farm) to the full set of geographic code(s) applicable to the location of that

address on the surface of the Earth.

C–6 Data Collection and Processing Procedures

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Group Quarters

A facility where people live that is not a typical household-type living arrangement. The Census

Bureau classifies all individuals not living in housing units as living in group quarters. There are

two types of group quarters: institutional (for example, correctional facilities, nursing homes, and

mental hospitals) and noninstitutional (for example, college dormitories, military barracks and

military ships, maritime vessels, group homes, missions, and shelters).

Household

Household refers to all of the people who occupy a housing unit.

Housing Unit

A housing unit is a house, an apartment, a mobile home or trailer, a group of rooms, or a single

room occupied as a separate living quarters, or if vacant, intended for occupancy as a separate

living quarters. Separate living quarters are those in which the occupants live separately from any

other individuals in the building and that have direct access from outside the building or through

a common hall. For vacant units, the criteria of separateness and direct access are applied to the

intended occupants whenever possible.

Imputation

When information is missing or inconsistent, the Census Bureau uses a method called imputation

to assign values. Imputation relies on the statistical principle of ‘‘homogeneity,’’ or the tendency of

households within a small geographic area to be similar in most characteristics. For example, the

value of ‘‘rented’’ is likely to be imputed for a housing unit not reporting on owner/renter status in

a neighborhood with multiunits or apartments where other respondents reported ‘‘rented’’ on the

census questionnaire. In past censuses, when the occupancy status or the number of residents

was not known for a housing unit, this information was imputed.

Interpolation

Interpolation frequently is used in calculating medians or quartiles based on interval data and in

approximating standard errors from tables. Linear interpolation is used to estimate values of a

function between two known values. Pareto interpolation is an alternative to linear interpolation.

In Pareto interpolation, the median is derived by interpolating between the logarithms of the

upper and lower income limits of the median category. It is used by the Census Bureau in

calculating median income within intervals wider than $2,500.

List/Enumerate

In the U.S. Virgin Islands a method of data collection in which temporary field staff, called

enumerators, list each residential address, spot the location of each on a census map, and pick up

the completed ACR or interview the residents of the household during a single visit. This

completes the census address list for these areas, provides the information needed to update the

TIGER database, and provides a starting point for building a Master Address File for the U.S. Virgin

Islands (see definitions below).

Master Address File (MAF)

A computer-based file of addresses. Information collected from Census 2000 will be used as the

starting point for building a MAF for the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Metadata

Information about the content, quality, condition, and other characteristics of data.

Quality Assurance (QA)

Quality assurance represents a broad philosophy and specific procedures that are designed to

build quality into the system, constantly improve the system, and integrate responsibility for

quality with production.

Data Collection and Processing Procedures C–7

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Questionnaire Mailing Strategy

For Census 2000 in the U.S. Virgin Islands, the United States Post Office delivered an Advance

Letter and Advance Census Reports (ACRs) to residential postal customers in the U.S. Virgin

Islands. Respondents were instructed to complete the form and hold it for an enumerator to pick

up.

Seasonal/Recreational/Occasional Use

A housing unit held for occupancy only during limited portions of the year, such as a beach

cottage, or time-share condominium.

Separate Living Quarters

Those living quarters in which the occupants live separately from any other individual in the

building and which have direct access from outside the building or through a common hall. For

vacant units, the criteria of separateness and direct access are applied to the intended occupants

whenever possible.

Service-Based Enumeration (SBE)

An operation designed to enumerate people at selected service locations that serve people

without conventional housing. The SBE locations include shelters, soup kitchens, and targeted

nonsheltered outdoor locations.

Service Locations

Locations where clients are enumerated during the service-based enumeration operation, such as

emergency or transitional shelters, soup kitchens, and targeted nonsheltered outdoor locations.

Simplified Enumerator Questionnaire (SEQ)

In the U.S. Virgin Islands, if a household did not complete their Advanced Census Report (ACR) or

did not receive an ACR in the mail, enumerators were instructed to conduct an interview at the

household using the ‘‘simplified enumerator questionnaire’’ designed for personal interview

situations. This questionnaire also was used for transient, or T-night enumeration, and when

conducting Field follow-up in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Soup Kitchens

Includes soup kitchens, food lines, and programs distributing prepared breakfasts, lunches, or

dinners. These programs may be organized as food service lines, bag or box lunches, or tables

where people are seated, then served by program personnel. These programs may or may not

have a place for clients to sit and eat the meal. These are service locations.

Special Place

A place containing one or more group quarters where people live or stay other than the usual

house or apartment. Examples are colleges and universities, nursing homes, hospitals, and

prisons. Special places may have both group quarters and housing units associated with them.

Special Place Update

Special Place Update was a procedure used in the U.S. Virgin Islands to verify location information

for living quarters at special places. The Crew Leader Assistant interviewed an official at each

special place for the purpose of collecting address information for the special place and any

associated group quarters and housing units, determining the type of special place/group

quarters, and map spotting the special place and any housing units and/or group quarters

associated with it.

C–8 Data Collection and Processing Procedures

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
State Data Center (SDC)

A state agency or university facility identified by the governor of each state or state equivalent to

participate in the Census Bureau’s cooperative network for the dissemination of census data. SDCs

also provide demographic data to local agencies participating in the Census Bureau’s statistical

areas programs and assist the Census Bureau in the delineation and identification of statistical

areas. In the U.S. Virgin Islands, the State Data Center is the University of the Virgin Islands

Eastern Caribbean Center.

Summary File (SF)

A series of census summary tabulations of population and housing data available for public use

on CD-ROM and the Internet. In 1990, these files were available on computer tapes and, as a

result, were known as summary tape files (STF).

Summary Table

A collection of one or more data elements that are classified into some logical structure either as

dimensions or data points.

Tabulation Block

A physical block that does not have any legal or statistical boundaries passing through it; or each

portion of a physical block after the Census Bureau recognizes any legal or statistical boundaries

that pass through it.

Targeted Nonsheltered Outdoor Location

A geographically identifiable outdoor location open to the elements where there is evidence that

people who do not usually receive services at shelters and soup kitchens might be living without

paying to stay there. These sites must have a specific location description that allows a census

enumeration team to physically locate the site and excludes pay-for-use campgrounds, drop-in

centers, post offices, hospital emergency rooms, and commercial sites (including all-night theaters

and all-night diners).

Title 13 (United States Code)

The law under which the Census Bureau operates and that guarantees the confidentiality of

census information and establishes penalties for disclosing this information.

Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (TIGER)

A computer database that contains a digital representation of all census-required map features

(streets, roads, rivers, and so forth), the related attributes for each (street names, etc.), and the

geographic identification codes for all entities used by the Census Bureau to tabulate data for the

U.S. Virgin Islands. The TIGER database records the interrelationships among these features,

attributes, and geographic codes and provides a resource for the production of maps and entity

headers for data tabulations.

Transient Night (T-Night)/T-Night Enumeration (TNE)

A method of enumeration in which Census Bureau staff enumerate people at transient locations,

such as campgrounds at race tracks, recreational vehicle campgrounds or parks, commercial or

public campgrounds, fairs and carnivals, and marinas. Enumerators conduct a personal interview

using a Simplified Enumerator Questionnaire. No vacant units are generated by this operation.

Type of Enumeration Area (TEA)

A classification identifying how the Census Bureau takes the decennial census of a geographic

area. Examples of TEAs include (1) the area inside the ‘‘blue line’’ – this is the mailout/mailback

and urban update/leave operations area, (2) address listing areas, (3) list/enumerate areas, and (4)

remote areas of Alaska. The U.S. Virgin Islands was a TEA(3) - list/enumerate area.

Accuracy of the Data

CONFIDENTIALITY OF THE DATA

The Census Bureau has modified or suppressed some data in this data release to protect confidentiality. Title 13, United States Code, Section 9, prohibits the Census Bureau from publishing results

in which an individual can be identified. The Census Bureau’s internal Disclosure Review Board

sets the confidentiality rules for all data releases. A checklist approach is used to ensure that all

potential risks to the confidentiality of the data are considered and addressed.

Title 13, United States Code. Title 13 of the United States Code authorizes the Census Bureau

to conduct censuses and surveys. Section 9 of the same Title requires that any information collected from the public under the authority of Title 13 be maintained as confidential. Section 214

of Title 13 and Sections 3559 and 3571 of Title 18 of the United States Code provide for the imposition of penalties of up to 5 years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines for wrongful disclosure

of confidential census information.

Disclosure limitation. Disclosure limitation is the process for protecting the confidentiality of

data. A disclosure of data occurs when someone can use published statistical information to identify an individual who provided information under a pledge of confidentiality. Using disclosure

limitation procedures, the Census Bureau modifies or removes the characteristics that put confidential information at risk for disclosure. Although it may appear that a table shows information

about a specific individual, the Census Bureau has taken steps to disguise the original data while

making sure the results are still useful. The techniques used by the Census Bureau to protect confidentiality in tabulations vary depending on the type of data.

Disclosure limitation for the United States Virgin Islands (U.S. Virgin Islands) is conducted in basically the same way for the two types of data that are collected from people and housing units in

the U.S. Virgin Islands. In the United States census, certain data (referred to as stateside 100-

percent data) are collected from everyone while some additional data (referred to as stateside

sample data) are collected from approximately 1-in-6 households. As in the 1990 U.S. Virgin

Islands census, the 2000 U.S. Virgin Islands census asked both basic and detailed questions of all

people and housing units. Basic subjects include items such as race, age, sex, and tenure (whether

the home is owned or rented) and are equivalent to the stateside 100-percent component subjects. Detailed subjects in the 2000 U.S. Virgin Islands census include items like income, occupation, disability, and housing costs. The detailed subjects are equivalent to the stateside sample

component subjects.

Data swapping. Data swapping is a method of disclosure limitation designed to protect confidentiality in tables of frequency data (the number or percentage of the population with certain

characteristics). Data swapping is done by editing the source data or exchanging records for a

sample of cases when creating a table. A sample of households is selected and matched on a set

of selected key variables with households in neighboring geographic areas that have similar characteristics (such as the same number of adults and the same number of children). Because the

swap often occurs within a neighboring area, there is little or no effect on the marginal totals for

the area or for totals that include data from multiple areas. Because of data swapping, users

should not assume that tables with cells having a value of 1 or 2 reveal information about specific

individuals. Data swapping procedures were first used in the 1990 census and were also used for

Census 2000.

Accuracy of the Data G–1

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
EDITING OF UNACCEPTABLE DATA

The objective of the processing operations is to produce a set of data that describe the population

as clearly and accurately as possible. To meet this objective, crew leaders review and edit

questionnaires for consistency, completeness, and acceptability during field data collection

operations. Census clerks in the local census offices also review questionnaires for omissions,

certain inconsistencies, and population coverage. For example, write-in entries such as ‘‘Don’t

know’’ or ‘‘NA’’ are considered unacceptable in certain quantities and/or in conjunction with other

data omissions. As a result of this review operation, missing information was collected through a

telephone or personal visit followup.

Subsequent to field operations, imputation procedures assign acceptable values to remaining

incomplete or inconsistent data records. Allocations, or computer assignments of acceptable data

in place of unacceptable entries or blanks, are needed 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). Assigning acceptable codes in place of

blanks or unacceptable entries enhances the usefulness of the data. Substitutions, which assign a

full set of characteristics for a person or housing unit, are not performed in the 2000 U.S. Virgin

Islands census. This contrasts with the 1990 U.S. Virgin Islands census that incorporated

substitutions.

SOURCES OF ERROR

In any large-scale statistical operation such as the 2000 decennial census, human and processing

errors occur. These errors are commonly referred to as nonsampling errors. Such errors include:

not enumerating every household or every person in the population, failing to obtain 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.

While it is impossible to completely eliminate nonsampling error from an operation as large and

complex as the decennial census, the Census Bureau attempts to control the sources of such error

during the planning, data collection, and data processing operations. Several 2000 U.S. Virgin

Islands census initiatives focus on improving data quality. These programs were developed based

on experience from the 1990 decennial census and results from the 2000 United States decennial

census testing cycle.

A quality assurance program was designed to improve coverage. Coverage improvement

initiatives include telephone and personal visit followups. For the Field Followup Operation,

census workers visit housing units that are classified as ‘‘vacant.’’ Field Followup also includes

housing units for which the questionnaire failed the clerical edit and for which there was no

telephone contact. Census workers also visit addresses for which the questionnaire could not be

located in the local census office.

Computer and clerical edits improve the quality and consistency of the data. The objective of the

Clerical Merge Operation is: (1) to ensure that, after the edit and coding operations, an address

register exists for each assignment area, and (2) each listing on the address register is associated

with a questionnaire (and any continuation forms for households with more than 5 members).

Also, the number of people in the address register is crosschecked against information on the

questionnaire for consistency.

One of the primary goals of Census 2000 is to make it simpler for people to be counted. Be

Counted forms were available in public places for use by people or households who believed they

were not included in the census. Providing these response options made it easier for people to be

counted but may have increased the possibility that more than one response was submitted for a

given person or household. The objective of the Unduplication Operation was to resolve situations

where more than one form was received from a particular housing unit.

G–2 Accuracy of the Data

U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000
Finally, there was a Local Government Review of Census Addresses Operation. During this

operation, the Virgin Islands government reviewed the completeness and accuracy of their Census

2000 counts. Local governments appointed reviewers who were familiar with local geography and

development patterns. Reviewers who identified potential problems at the block level reviewed

census maps and the address listing pages. Since local census offices were still open at the time

of this review, census enumerators could investigate locally reported problems and make

corrections as needed.
