U.S. Census Bureau Data

Variable Matrix

INTRODUCTION

This document lists variables of interest to the Minority Business Development Agency

(MBDA), classified by their availability at the National, state, and county level. This listing was

created by the U.S. Census Bureau Population Division from the following Census Bureau data

products: selected 1990 Census of Population and Housing Summary Tape Files and Subject

Summary Tape Files, the 1992 Survey of Minority-Owned Business Enterprises, and the

Population Projections for States by Age, Sex, Race, and Hispanic Origin: 1995 to 2025. The

U.S. Census Bureau Data Variable Matrix was developed in order to provide the MBDA with a

menu of Census data variables relevant to MBDA’s mission and from which the underlying data

pertaining to these variables may subsequently be provided, by request. From this foundation,

MBDA may elect to identify specific data to extract for analytical purposes, including the

production of state and/or county-level maps. The extracted data would then serve as the

starting point toward establishing a dynamic data base for MBDA, that could be updated as new

population estimates, projections, Economic Census, and Census of Population and Housing

data become available.

ORGANIZATION

The variables are organized in this listing by data source. The number in parentheses

beside the variable name indicates how many categories in which the variable is classified. A

detailed list of categories for each variable classification is provided in the Appendix. This

detailed list provides the specific categories pertaining to each variable. For example, the

variable, educational attainment (5) indicates that there are 5 categories for this variable. The

Appendix then lists the corresponding specific 5 categories: Not high school graduate; High

school graduate (includes equivalency); Some college or associate degree; Bachelor’s degree;

and Graduate or professional degree.

Frequently, a variable may have several different breakdowns by number of categories.

Again using educational attainment as an example, some data are available classified into 5, 6,

7, or as many as 15 educational attainment categories. In each case, the specific categories

are provided in the Appendix.

The number in the “Total Data Columns” column indicates how many columns of data a

particular variable would constitute if it were provided in spreadsheet format. For example, the

particular variable combination, marital status (2) by age (4), implies a total of 8 potential “data

columns,” namely, Never married, Age 15-24 years; Never married, Age 25-34 years; Never

married, Age 35-44 years; Never married, Age 45 years and over; Ever married, Age 15-24

years; Ever married, Age 25-34 years; Ever married, Age 35-44 years; and Ever married, Age

45 years and over. Each of these data columns could be provided for the geographic level of

detail available.

The “Universe” column indicates to whom the responses to each variable refer. For

example, if the universe is “persons of Hispanic origin”, then the data for that variable in the

categories listed refer only to persons of Hispanic origin.

The “Geographic Detail” column indicates at what geographic level the data are

available. In this case, the three geographic levels of detail are: National, State, and County.

An “X” in any geographic detail box indicates that the variable is available at that particular

geographic level.
