INTRODUCTION

Data from the 1990 census are presented in several

different report series. These series are published under

the following three subject titles:

1. 1990 Census of Population (1990 CP)

2. 1990 Census of Housing (1990 CH)

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

The types of data and the geographic areas shown in

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

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

Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands of the United States

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

Some series include reports for American Indian and

Alaska Native areas, metropolitan areas, and urbanized

areas. See appendix F for detailed information about the

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

other related materials; and sources of assistance.

The data from the 1990 census were derived from a

limited number of basic questions asked of the entire

population and about every housing unit (referred to as the

100-percent questions), and from additional questions

asked of a sample of the population and housing units

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

only the 100-percent questions and a long form containing

both the 100-percent questions and the additional sample

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

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

subjects that are covered by the 100-percent and sample

components of the 1990 census.

Legal provision for this census, which was conducted as

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

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

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

States Code.

HOW TO FIND GEOGRAPHIC AREAS AND

SUBJECT-MATTER DATA

This report includes a table finding guide to assist the

user in locating those statistical tables that contain the

data that are needed. The table finding guide lists 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 left-hand

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. Below is an example of a table finding

guide.

HOW TO USE THIS CENSUS REPORT I–1
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 2 SESS: 41 OUTPUT: Thu Oct 22 08:58:24 1992 / node2/ F main F / 90dec/ allexcph23/ usst/ how

Tables identified in the table finding guide with a reference letter in parentheses after the table number present

characteristics for racial groups or persons of Hispanic

origin. The tables without reference letters contain data for

the total population only. The table finding guide does not

include cross-classifications of subject-matter items, nor

does it distinguish among tables presenting data for all

persons or housing units and tables presenting data for

subgroups (for example, persons under 18 years or renteroccupied housing units) unless it is necessary to locate the

subject.

Additional information to locate data within specific

reports often is provided in the headnote at the top of the

table finding guide and in the footnotes at the bottom of the

guide.

HOW TO USE THE STATISTICAL TABLES

Parts of a Statistical Table

The census data included in printed reports are arranged

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

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

A typical census report table is illustrated below.

The heading consists of the table number, title, and

headnote. The table number indicates the position of the

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

indicating the classification, nature, and time reference of

the data presented in the table. The headnote is enclosed

in brackets and is located under the title. It contains

statements that qualify, explain, or provide information

pertaining to the entire table. In some tables showing racial

and Hispanic origin groups, the headnote includes information that data are presented only when certain populationsize criteria (thresholds) are met. (For more information on

thresholds, see the ‘‘User Notes’’ section.)

The boxhead is under the heading. This portion of the

table, which contains the individual column heads or

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

boxhead of many tables, a spanner appears across and

above two or more column heads or across two or more

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

qualify items below it or separate the table into identifiable

blocks in terms of major aspects of the data.

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

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

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

considered to be an extension of the table title and usually

shows generic geographic area designations and restrictions.

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

better understand the contents of the table. Usually, a

block of data lines is preceded by a sidehead. The

sidehead, similar to a spanner, describes and classifies the

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

indicates the relationship of one data line to another.

Indented data lines represent subcategories that in most

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

desirable to show one or more single-line subcategories

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

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

wording of the data line.

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

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

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

right-hand edge of the page.

Both geographic and subject-matter terms appear in

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

used in the tables because census terms often are defined

in special ways that reflect the manner in which the

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

Subject-matter terms are defined in appendix B.

Symbols and Geographic Abbreviations

The following symbols are used in the tables and

explanations of subjects covered in this report:

• A dash ‘‘-’’ represents zero or a percent that rounds to

less than 0.1.

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

• (NA) means not available.

I–2 HOW TO USE THIS CENSUS REPORT
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 3 SESS: 41 OUTPUT: Thu Oct 22 08:58:24 1992 / node2/ F main F / 90dec/ allexcph23/ usst/ how

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

since publication of 1980 reports or that the area was

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

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

Housing Unit Counts reports.

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

indicates that there has been a geographic change(s)

(for example, an annexation or detachment, a new

incorporation, or a name change) since the information

published for the 1980 census for that area. This symbol

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

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

Unit Counts report, for that State. The information for all

States appears in the ‘‘User Notes’’ section of the

technical documentation for Summary Tape Files 1

and 3.

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

denotes that the median falls in the initial or terminal

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

Measures’’ in appendix B.)

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

The following geographic abbreviations are used in the

tables and explanations of subjects covered in this report:

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

hierarchical presentation indicates that the geographic

entity is only partially located in the superior geographic

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

county subdivision-place hierarchy indicates that the

place is located in more than one county subdivision.

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

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

and other geographic boundaries, depending on the

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

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

block, which is unique within all geographic entities in

census products.

• BG is block group.

• BNA is block numbering area.

• CDP is census designated place.

• CMSA is consolidated metropolitan statistical area.

• MA is metropolitan area.

• MSA is metropolitan statistical area.

• PMSA is primary metropolitan statistical area.

• TDSA is tribal designated statistical area.

• TJSA is tribal jurisdiction statistical area.

• unorg. is unorganized territory.

• VTD is voting district.

Census tables often include derived measures such as

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

GRAPHICS

Charts, statistical maps, and other graphic summaries

are included in some 1990 census reports. If graphics are

shown in a report, they are presented immediately after the

‘‘User Notes’’ section.

USER NOTES

User notes include corrections, errata, and related

explanatory information. This section appears directly before

the statistical tables in census reports unless graphics are

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

to be reflected in the text or tables themselves.

CONTENTS OF THE APPENDIXES

Appendix A—Provides definitions of the types of geographic areas and related information used in census

reports.

Appendix B—Contains definitions for the subject-matter

items used in census reports, including explanations of

ADDITIONAL DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS OF DATA

GENERAL

User Note 1

Age Reporting—Review of detailed 1990 information

indicated that respondents tended to provide their age as

of the date of completion of the questionnaire, not their

age on April 1, 1990. In addition, there may have been a

tendency for respondents to round up their age if they were

close to having a birthday. It is likely that approximately 10

percent of persons in most age groups are actually 1 year

younger. For most single years of age, the misstatements

are largely offsetting. The problem is most pronounced at

age 0 because persons lost to age 1 may not have been

fully offset by the inclusion of babies born after April 1,

1990, and because there may have been more rounding up

to age 1 to avoid reporting age as 0 years. (Age in

completed months was not collected for infants under

age 1.)

The reporting of age 1 year older than age on April 1,

1990, is likely to have been greater in areas where the

census data were collected later in 1990. The magnitude

of this problem was much less in the three previous

censuses where age was typically derived from respondent data on year of birth and quarter of birth. (For more

information on the design of the age question, see the

discussion on comparability under ‘‘Age’’ in appendix B.)

User Note 2

The user should note that there are limitations to many

of these data. Please refer to the text provided with this

report for further explanations on the limitations of the

data.

User Note 3

Estimated population and housing unit totals based on

tabulations from only the sample questionnaires (sample

tabulations) may differ from the official counts as tabulated

from every census questionnaire (100-percent tabulations).

Such differences result, in part, because the sample

tabulations are based on information from a sample of

households rather than from all households (sampling

error). Differences also can occur because the interview

situation (length of questionnaire, effect of the interviewer,

etc.) and the processing rules differ between the 100-

percent and sample tabulations. These types of differences are referred to as nonsampling errors. (For more

information on nonsampling error, see appendix C.)

The 100-percent data are the official counts and should

be used as the source of information on population and

housing items collected on the 100-percent questionnaire,

such as age, race, Hispanic origin, number of rooms, and

tenure. This is especially appropriate when the primary

focus is on counts of the population or housing units for

small areas such as census tracts/ BNA’s, block groups,

and for American Indian and Alaska Native areas. For

estimates of counts of persons and housing units by

characteristics asked only on a sample basis (such as

education, labor force status, income, and source of

water), the sample estimates should be used within the

context of the error associated with them.

Many users are interested in tabulations of items collected on the sample cross-classified by items collected on

a 100-percent basis such as age, race, sex, Hispanic

origin, and housing units by tenure. Given the way the

weights were applied during sample tabulations, generally,

there is exact agreement between sample estimates and

100-percent counts for total population and total housing

units for most geographic areas. At the State level and

higher geographic levels, sample estimates and 100-percent

counts for population by age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin

and for housing units by tenure, number of rooms and so

on would be reasonably similar and, in some cases, the

same.

At smaller geographic levels, including census tract/

BNA, there is still general agreement between 100-percent

USER NOTES III–1
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 2 SESS: 17 OUTPUT: Mon Jul 19 16:02:07 1993 / pssw01/ disk2/ 90dec/ ch2/ 0/ usernote

counts and sample estimates of total population or housing units. At smaller geographic levels, however, there will

be expected differences between sample estimates and

100-percent counts for population by age, sex, race, and

Hispanic origin and for housing units by tenure, number of

rooms and so on. In these cases, users may want to

consider using derived measures (such as means and

medians) or percent distributions. Whether using absolute

numbers or derived measures for small population groups

and for a small number of housing units in small geographic areas, users should be cautioned that the sampling

error associated with these data may be large.

Even though the differences between sample estimates

and 100-percent counts for these categories are generally

small, the differences for the American Indian, as well as

the Hispanic origin populations, are relatively larger than

for other groups. The following provides some explanation

for these differences.

State-level sample estimates of the number of American Indians are generally higher than the corresponding

100-percent counts. It appears the differences are primarily the result of proportionately higher reporting of ‘‘Cherokee’’ tribe on sample questionnaires. This phenomenon

occurs primarily in off-reservation areas. The reasons for

the greater reporting of Cherokee on sample forms are not

fully known at this time. The Census Bureau will do

research to provide more information on this phenomenon.

For the Hispanic origin population, sample estimates at

the State level are generally lower than the corresponding

100-percent counts. The majority of difference is caused

by the 100-percent and sample processing of the Hispanic

question on the sample questionnaire when the respondent did not mark any response category. When processing the sample, we used written entries in race or Hispanic

origin as well as responses to questions only asked on the

sample, such as ancestry and place of birth. These procedures led to a lower proportion of persons being assigned

as Hispanic in sample processing than were assigned

during 100-percent processing. The Census Bureau will

evaluate the effectiveness of the 100-percent and sample

procedures.

As in previous censuses, the Census Bureau will evaluate the quality of the data and make this information

available to data users. In the meanwhile, both 100-

percent and sample data serve very important purposes

and, therefore, should be used within the limitations of the

sampling and nonsampling errors.

User Note 4

Thresholds and Complementary Thresholds—To show

characteristics for a large number of racial and Hispanic

groups and to avoid using a large number of pages to show

characteristics for small population groups, population

thresholds are used in some tables in this report. Also,

complementary population thresholds are used in some

tables to avoid showing largely repetitive data for the White

population and for the White, not of Hispanic origin population. Specifically, complementary thresholds are used to

limit the presentation of characteristics for the White

population when the population of races other than White

is small and for the White, not of Hispanic origin population

when the Hispanic origin population is small.

For example, assume that the threshold and complementary threshold are 1,000 in a table showing data by

race and Hispanic origin for counties. The threshold of

1,000 applies to each group, and in addition, the complementary threshold of 1,000 applies to White and to White,

not of Hispanic origin. Figure 1 shows how the threshold

and complementary threshold for race and Hispanic origin

apply for a hypothetical county. (For simplicity, it is assumed

that the ‘‘Other race’’ population of the county is zero

because characteristics are not shown for the ‘‘Other

race’’ population below the State level.) Thresholds are

calculated for each race and Hispanic origin population

appendix B.)

The Census Bureau provides data in greater subjectmatter and geographic detail on summary tape files (STF’s)

than in printed reports. Each printed report is derived from

a specific summary tape file. For data not shown in a report

because of the application of thresholds or complementary

thresholds, see the corresponding summary tape file. For

more information on computer tapes and other data products, see appendix F.

User Note 5

The Hispanic origin groups included in the category, ‘‘All

other Hispanic origin’’ may vary among some data products. Persons of Hispanic origin are those who classified

themselves in one of the specific Hispanic origin groups

listed on the census questionnaire—‘‘Mexican,’’ ‘‘Puerto

Rican,’’ ‘‘Cuban,’’ or ‘‘other Spanish/ Hispanic’’ origin.

In the tables of this report, the category, ‘‘All other

Hispanic origin’’ includes only those persons who reported

‘‘other Spanish/ Hispanic,’’ and are not included in the

specific groups listed under ‘‘Other Hispanic.’’

In other selected data products, ‘‘All other Hispanic

origin’’ is a residual category that includes all persons who

reported any Hispanic origin group but were not tabulated

in any of the Hispanic origin groups listed in the table. (For

more information on Hispanic origin, see appendix B.)

AMERICAN INDIAN AND ALASKA NATIVE AREA

Alaska Native Regional Corporation (ANRC)

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

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

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

nonprofit affairs of Alaska Natives. Alaska is divided into

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

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

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

were established by the Department of the Interior, in

cooperation with Alaska Natives. Each ANRC was designed

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

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

Land Management. A 13th region was established for

Alaska Natives who are not permanent residents and who

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

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

first identified for the 1980 census.

Each ANRC is assigned a two-digit census code ranging

from 07 through 84. These census codes are assigned in

alphabetical order of the ANRC’s.

Alaska Native Village (ANV) Statistical Area

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

clans, groups, villages, communities, or associations in

Alaska that are recognized pursuant to the Alaska Native

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

ANV’s do not have legally designated boundaries, the

Census Bureau has established Alaska Native village

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

1990 census, the Census Bureau cooperated with officials

of the nonprofit corporation within each participating Alaska

Native Regional Corporation (ANRC), as well as other

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

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

that the Census Bureau recognized for the 1980 census.

Each ANVSA is assigned a four-digit census code

ranging from 6001 through 8989. Each ANVSA also is

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

codes are assigned in alphabetical order of ANVSA’s.

American Indian Reservation and Trust Land

American Indian Reservation—Federal American Indian

reservations are areas with boundaries established by

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

American Indian tribes have jurisdiction. State reservations

are lands held in trust by State governments for the use

and benefit of a given tribe. The reservations and their

boundaries were identified for the 1990 census by the

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

Federal reservations), and State governments (for State

reservations). The names of American Indian reservations

recognized by State governments, but not by the Federal

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

of reservation lands that are administered jointly and/ or

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

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

American Indian reservations for census purposes.

Federal reservations may cross State boundaries, and

Federal and State reservations may cross county, county

subdivision, and place boundaries. For reservations that

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

that State; the entire reservations are shown in data

products for the United States.

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

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

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

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

the FIPS codes are assigned in alphabetical sequence of

American Indian reservations within each State, the FIPS

code is different in each State for reservations in more

than one State.

Trust Land—Trust lands are property associated with a

particular American Indian reservation or tribe, held in trust

by the Federal Government. Trust lands may be held in

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

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

recognized for the 1990 census comprise all tribal trust

lands and inhabited individual trust lands located outside

of a reservation boundary. As with other American Indian

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

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

products for that State; all trust lands associated with a

reservation or tribe are shown in data products for the

United States. The Census Bureau first reported data for

tribal trust lands for the 1980 census.

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

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

with which they are associated. Trust lands not associated

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

Tribal Designated Statistical Area (TDSA)

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

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

lands, to provide statistical areas for which the Census

Bureau tabulates data. TDSA’s represent areas generally

containing the American Indian population over which

federally-recognized tribes have jurisdiction and areas in

which State tribes provide benefits and services to their

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

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

Each TDSA is assigned a four-digit census code ranging

from 9001 through 9589. The census codes are assigned

in alphabetical order of TDSA’s nationwide. Each TDSA

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

within State.

Tribal Jurisdiction Statistical Area (TJSA)

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

delineated by federally-recognized tribes in Oklahoma

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

the American Indian population over which one or more

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

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

which is treated as a separate TJSA for census purposes.

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

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

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

statehood of Oklahoma in 1907. The Historic Areas of

Oklahoma (excluding urbanized areas) were identified only

for the 1980 census.

Each TJSA is assigned a four-digit census code ranging

from 5001 through 5989. The census codes are assigned

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

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

assigned a five-digit FIPS code in alphabetical order within

Oklahoma.

AREA MEASUREMENT

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

each geographic entity for which the Census Bureau

tabulates data in general-purpose data products (except

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

specific set of boundaries recorded for the entity in the

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

On machine-readable files, area measurements are shown

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

printed reports and listings, area measurements are shown

to one decimal.

The Census Bureau provides measurements for both

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

water figure includes inland, coastal, Great Lakes, and

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

provided area measurements for land and inland water.)

The Census Bureau will provide measurements for the

component types of water for the affected entities in a

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

Census Bureau’s geographic data base. It also includes

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

recorded in that data base as a two-dimensional feature

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

and related large embayments (such as the Chesapeake

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

Caribbean Sea that belong to the United States and its

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

waters; the Great Lakes are treated as a separate water

entity. Rivers and bays that empty into these bodies of

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

which they are narrower than one nautical mile across.

Identification of land and inland, coastal, and territorial

waters is for statistical purposes, and does not necessarily

reflect legal definitions thereof.

By definition, census blocks do not include water within

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

always zero. Land area measurements may disagree with

the information displayed on census maps and in the

TIGER file because, for area measurement purposes,

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

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

possible to derive the land area for an entity by summing

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

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

lower-level geographic entity. Therefore, because water is

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

lower-level geographic entities will not yield the water area

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

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

boundary of any minor civil division, or the water is

associated with a State but is not within the legal boundary

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

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

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

therefore, also do not have area measurements.

The accuracy of any area measurement figure is limited

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

of the various boundary features in the data base, and

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

compute and/ or sum the area measurements.

BLOCK

Census blocks are small areas bounded on all sides by

visible features such as streets, roads, streams, and

railroad tracks, and by invisible boundaries such as city,

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

imaginary extensions of streets and roads.

Tabulation blocks, used in census data products, are in

most cases the same as collection blocks, used in the

census enumeration. In some cases, collection blocks

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

tabulations. Tabulation blocks do not cross the boundaries

of counties, county subdivisions, places, census tracts or

block numbering areas, American Indian and Alaska Native

areas, congressional districts, voting districts, urban or

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

first for which the entire United States and its possessions

are block-numbered.

Blocks are numbered uniquely within each census tract

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

sometimes with a single alphabetical suffix. Block numbers

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

with suffixes generally represent collection blocks that

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

limit runs through data collection block 101, the data for

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

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

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

the Census Bureau tabulates data, but that does not

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

census maps associated with an anchor symbol and a

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

BLOCK GROUP (BG)

Geographic Block Group

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

having the same first digit of their three-digit identifying

numbers within a census tract or block numbering area

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

includes all blocks numbered between 301 and 397. In

most cases, the numbering involves substantially fewer

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

or BNA boundaries, but may cross the boundaries of

county subdivisions, places, American Indian and Alaska

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

and 550 housing units, with the ideal size being 400

housing units.

Tabulation Block Group

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

present data for every unique combination of county

subdivision, place, American Indian and Alaska Native

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

censuses.

BOUNDARY CHANGES

The boundaries of some counties, county subdivisions,

American Indian and Alaska Native areas, and many

incorporated places, changed between those reported for

the 1980 census and January 1, 1990. Boundary changes

to legal entities result from:

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

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

3. Establishment of new governmental units.

4. Disincorporations or disorganizations of existing governmental units.

5. Changes in treaties and Executive Orders.

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

thus reflect the population and housing units in the area as

delineated at each census. Information on boundary changes

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

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

1990 CPH-2, Population and Housing Unit Counts printed

reports. For information on boundary changes for such

areas in the decade preceding other decennial censuses,

see the Number of Inhabitants reports for each census.

Boundary changes are not reported for some areas, such

as census designated places and block groups.

CENSUS REGION AND CENSUS DIVISION

Census Division

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

divisions, which the Census Bureau adopted in 1910 for

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

constituent States are:

Northeast Region

Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,

Rhode Island, Connecticut

Middle Atlantic Division:

New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania

Census Region

Census regions are groupings of States that subdivide

the United States for the presentation of data. There are

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

of the four census regions is divided into two or more

census divisions. Prior to 1984, the Midwest region was

named the North Central region. From 1910, when census

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

three regions—North, South, and West.

CENSUS TRACT AND BLOCK NUMBERING

AREA

Block Numbering Area (BNA)

Block numbering areas (BNA’s) are small statistical

subdivisions of a county for grouping and numbering

blocks in nonmetropolitan counties where local census

statistical areas committees have not established census

tracts. State agencies and the Census Bureau delineated

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

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

cross county boundaries.

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

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

decimal point separating the four-digit basic BNA number

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

microfiche, and on census maps; in machine-readable

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

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

products. BNA numbers range from 9501 through 9989.99,

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

0001 through 9499.99 denote a census tract). The suffix

.99 identifies a BNA that was populated entirely by persons

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

symbol with its BNA number (and block numbers on maps

showing block numbers); the BNA relates to the ships

associated with the onshore BNA’s having the same

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

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

created during the 1990 census data collection activities.

Some of these revisions produced BNA’s that have extremely

small land area and may have little or no population or

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

Census Tract

Census tracts are small, relatively permanent statistical

subdivisions of a county. Census tracts are delineated for

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

counties by local census statistical areas committees

following Census Bureau guidelines (more than 3,000

census tracts have been established in 221 counties

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

District of Columbia are covered entirely by census tracts.

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

persons and, when first delineated, are designed to be

homogeneous with respect to population characteristics,

economic status, and living conditions. Census tracts do

not cross county boundaries. The spatial size of census

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

intention of being maintained over a long time so that

statistical comparisons can be made from census to

census. However, physical changes in street patterns

caused by highway construction, new development, etc.,

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

as a result of substantial population decline. Census tracts

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

Census tracts are identified by a four-digit basic number

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

decimal point separating the four-digit basic tract number

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

microfiche, and on census maps; in machine-readable

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

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

in all data products. Leading zeros in a census tract

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

Census tract numbers range from 0001 through 9499.99

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

9501 through 9989.99 denote a block numbering area).

The suffix .99 identifies a census tract that was populated

entirely by persons aboard one or more civilian or military

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

number (and block numbers on maps showing block

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

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

.98 usually identify census tracts that either were revised

or were created during the 1990 census data collection

activities. Some of these revisions may have resulted in

census tracts that have extremely small land area and may

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

such a census tract can be summarized with an adjacent

census tract.

CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT (CD)

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

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

among the States, based on census population counts,

each State is responsible for establishing CD’s for the

purpose of electing representatives. Each CD is to be as

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

practicable, based on the decennial census counts.

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

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

appear in an early 1990 census data product (Summary

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

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

the 103rd Congress, reflecting redistricting based on the

1990 census, are summarized in later 1990 data products

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

Housing Characteristics for Congressional Districts of the

103rd Congress printed reports).

COUNTY

The primary political divisions of most States are termed

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

treated as equivalent to counties for statistical purposes.

That part of Yellowstone National Park in Montana is

treated as a county equivalent. The District of Columbia

has no primary divisions, and the entire area is considered

equivalent to a county for statistical purposes.

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

are assigned in alphabetical order of county or county

equivalent within State, except for the independent cities,

which follow the listing of counties.

COUNTY SUBDIVISION

County subdivisions are the primary subdivisions of

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

census subareas, minor civil divisions, and unorganized

territories.

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

FIPS code in alphabetical order within State.

Census County Division (CCD)

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

county that were delineated by the Census Bureau, in

cooperation with State officials and local census statistical

areas committees, for statistical purposes. CCD’s were

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

not have governmental or administrative purposes, where

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

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

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

units.

The boundaries of CCD’s usually are delineated to

follow visible features, and in most cases coincide with

census tract or block numbering area boundaries. The

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

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

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

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

Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee,

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

census, the county subdivisions recognized for Nevada

were MCD’s.

Census Subarea (Alaska)

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

Census subareas were delineated cooperatively by the

State of Alaska and the Census Bureau. The census

subareas, identified first in 1980, replaced the various

types of subdivisions used in the 1970 census.

Minor Civil Division (MCD)

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

administrative divisions of a county. MCD’s represent

many different kinds of legal entities with a wide variety of

governmental and/ or administrative functions. MCD’s are

variously designated as American Indian reservations,

assessment districts, boroughs, election districts, gores,

grants, magisterial districts, parish governing authority

districts, plantations, precincts, purchases, supervisors’

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

incorporated places are not located in any MCD and thus

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

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

incorporated places are independent of MCD’s and others

are subordinate to one or more MCD’s.

The Census Bureau recognizes MCD’s in the following

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

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

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

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

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

area is considered equivalent to an MCD for statistical

purposes.

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

Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire,

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

governments. The Census Bureau presents data for these

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

places.

Unorganized Territory (unorg.)

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

Maine, Minnesota, North Carolina, North Dakota, and

South Dakota), some counties contain territory that is not

included in an MCD recognized by the Census Bureau.

Each separate area of unorganized territory in these

States is recognized as one or more separate county

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

GEOGRAPHIC CODE

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

other products such as microfiche; they also are shown on

some census maps. Codes are identified as ‘‘census

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

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

is usually a census code for which there is no FIPS

equivalent, or for which the Census Bureau does not use

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

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

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

Census Code

Census codes are assigned for a variety of geographic

entities, including American Indian and Alaska Native area,

census division, census region, county subdivision, place,

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

format, and meaning of census codes appear in the 1990

census Geographic Identification Code Scheme; in the

data dictionary portion of the technical documentation for

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

Federal Information Processing Standards

(FIPS) Code

Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) codes

are assigned for a variety of geographic entities, including

American Indian and Alaska Native area, congressional

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

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

codes used in the census are shown in the 1990 census

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

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

data resources of the Federal Government and avoid

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

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

United States Postal Service (USPS) Code

United States Postal Service (USPS) codes for States

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

same as the FIPS two-character alphabetic abbreviations.

GEOGRAPHIC PRESENTATION

Hierarchical Presentation

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

census products. This structure is derived from the legal,

administrative, or areal relationships of the entities. The

hierarchical structure is depicted in report tables by means

of indentation, and is explained for machine-readable

media in the discussion of file structure in the geographic

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

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

block group, within census tract or block numbering area,

within place, within county subdivision, within county, within

State, within division, within region, within the United

States. Graphically, this is shown as:

United States

Region

Division

State

County

County subdivision

Place (or part)

Census tract/ block numbering area

(or part)

Block group (or part)

Block

Inventory Presentation

An inventory presentation of geographic entities is one

in which all entities of the same type are shown in

alphabetical or code sequence, without reference to their

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

hierarchical presentation, such as place, census tract/

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

series of inventory presentations is: State, followed by all

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

State. Graphically, this is shown as:

State

County ‘‘A’’

County ‘‘B’’

County ‘‘C’’

Place ‘‘X’’

Place ‘‘Y’’

Place ‘‘Z’’

HISTORICAL COUNTS

Historical counts for total population and total housing

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

Housing Unit Counts report series. As in past censuses,

the general rule for presenting historical data for States,

counties, county subdivisions, and places is to show

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

current and preceding censuses, the tables show counts

for the preceding censuses. Included in this category are

entities of the same type (county, county subdivision,

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

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

the name of one of the merged entities. The historical

counts shown are for each entity as it was bounded at

each census.

In cases where an entity was formed since a preceding

census, such as a newly incorporated place or a newly

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

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

for those parts of a place that have extended into an

additional county or county subdivision through annexation

or other revision of boundaries since the preceding census.

In a few cases, changes in the boundaries of county

subdivisions caused a place to be split into two or more

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

If historical counts for the parts of the place as currently

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

for the place in each county subdivision; however, the

historical population and housing unit counts of the place

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

county subdivisions, and places formed since January 1,

1980, 1980 census population and housing unit counts in

the 1990 territory are reported in the geographic change

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

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

technical documentation of Summary Tape Files 1 and 3.

In some cases, population and housing unit counts for

individual areas were revised since publication of the 1980

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

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

counts are shown for aggregations of individual areas,

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

places in size groups, or urban and rural distributions.

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

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

conversely, the sum of the counts shown for individual

areas may not agree with the aggregation.

INTERNAL POINT

An internal point is a set of geographic coordinates

(latitude and longitude) that is located within a specified

geographic entity. A single point is identified for each

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

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

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

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

On machine-readable products, internal points are shown

to six decimal places; the decimal point is implied.

METROPOLITAN AREA (MA)

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

of a large population nucleus, together with adjacent

communities that have a high degree of economic and

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

around two or more nuclei.

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

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

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

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

Areas, with the aim of producing definitions that are as

consistent as possible for all MA’s nationwide.

Each MA must contain either a place with a minimum

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

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

central counties. An MA also may include one or more

outlying counties that have close economic and social

relationships with the central county. An outlying county

must have a specified level of commuting to the central

counties and also must meet certain standards regarding

metropolitan character, such as population density, urban

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

are composed of cities and towns rather than whole

counties.

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

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

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

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

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

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

metropolitan and nonmetropolitan classification cuts across

the other hierarchies; for example, there is generally both

urban and rural territory within both metropolitan and

nonmetropolitan areas.

To meet the needs of various users, the standards

provide for a flexible structure of metropolitan definitions

that classify an MA either as a metropolitan statistical area

(MSA) or as a consolidated metropolitan statistical area

(CMSA) that is divided into primary metropolitan statistical

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

how they are applied is available from the Secretary,

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

DC 20233.

Central City

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

of that city that extends outside the MA boundary.

Consolidated and Primary Metropolitan

Statistical Area (CMSA and PMSA)

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

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

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

urbanized county or cluster of counties that demonstrates

very strong internal economic and social links, in addition

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

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

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

Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA)

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

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

Metropolitan Area Title and Code

The title of an MSA contains the name of its largest

central city and up to two additional city names, provided

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

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

other criteria.

The title of a PMSA may contain up to three place

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

sequenced in order of population. A CMSA title also may

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

the most populous central city in the area. The second

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

populous remaining PMSA; the third name may be the first

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

regional designation may be substituted for the second

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

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

Budget.

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

State in which the area is located. Each metropolitan area

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

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

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

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

OUTLYING AREAS OF THE UNITED STATES

The Census Bureau treats the outlying areas as the

statistical equivalents of States for the 1990 census. The

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

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

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

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

each area.

PLACE

Places, for the reporting of decennial census data,

include census designated places and incorporated places.

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

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

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

FIPS codes are assigned based on alphabetical order

within State. Consolidated cities (see below) are assigned

a one-character alphabetical census code that is unique

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

State.

Census Designated Place (CDP)

Census designated places (CDP’s) are delineated for

the decennial census as the statistical counterparts of

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

are not legally incorporated places. Their boundaries,

which usually coincide with visible features or the boundary

of an adjacent incorporated place, have no legal status,

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

with changes in the settlement pattern; a CDP with the

same name as in previous censuses does not necessarily

have the same boundaries.

AREA CLASSIFICATIONS A–9
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 10 SESS: 57 OUTPUT: Wed Apr 22 13:24:37 1992 / node2/ F main F / 90dec/ all/ usst/ appa

Beginning with the 1950 census, the Census Bureau, in

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bureau uses three population size criteria to designate

a CDP. These criteria are:

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

an urbanized area (UA) delineated for the 1980

census or a subsequent special census.

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

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

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

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

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

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

1980 census or a subsequent special census.

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

the community is inside or outside a UA.

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

population counts prepared for the 1990 Postcensus Local

Review Program. Because these counts were subject to

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

lower than the minimums shown above.

Hawaii is the only State with no incorporated places

recognized by the Bureau of the Census. All places shown

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

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

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

Consolidated City

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

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

legal aspects of this action may result in both the primary

incorporated place and the county or MCD continuing to

exist as legal entities, even though the county or MCD

performs few or no governmental functions and has few or

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

more other incorporated places in the county or MCD

continue to function as separate governments, even though

they have been included in the consolidated government,

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

The data presentation for consolidated cities varies

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

presentations include the semi-independent places and

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

presentations are equivalent to those for the consolidated

government.

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

data for the consolidated city include places that are part

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

the semi-independent places, and is shown in alphabetical

sequence with other places.

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

consolidated cities are categorized by their size, as is the

‘‘consolidated city (remainder).’’

Each consolidated city is assigned a one-character

alphabetic census code. Each consolidated city also is

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

The semi-independent places and the ‘‘consolidated city

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

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

Both the census and FIPS codes are assigned based on

alphabetical order within State.

Incorporated Place

Incorporated places recognized in 1990 census data

products are those reported to the Census Bureau as

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

their respective States as cities, boroughs, towns, and

villages, with the following exceptions: the towns in the

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

boroughs in New York are recognized as minor civil

divisions for census purposes; the boroughs in Alaska are

county equivalents.

POPULATION OR HOUSING UNIT DENSITY

Population or housing unit density is computed by

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

place) by its land area measured in square kilometers or

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

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

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

census printed reports.

STATE

States are the primary governmental divisions of the

United States. The District of Columbia is treated as a

statistical equivalent of a State for census purposes. The

four census regions, nine census divisions, and their

component States are shown under ‘‘CENSUS REGION

AND CENSUS DIVISION’’ in this appendix.

The Census Bureau treats the outlying areas as State

equivalents for the 1990 census. The outlying areas are

American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands,

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

States. Geographic definitions specific to each outlying

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

area.

Each State and equivalent is assigned a two-digit numeric

Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) code in

alphabetical order by State name, followed by the outlying

area names. Each State and equivalent area also is

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

on the basis of the geographic sequence of each State

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

code for the respective division. Puerto Rico, the Virgin

Islands, and the outlying areas of the Pacific are assigned

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

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

Service (USPS) code.

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

New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and

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

data for these minor civil divisions in all data products in

which it provides data for places.

TIGER

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

the Census Bureau’s census and survey programs. The

Census Bureau developed the Topologically Integrated

Geographic Encoding and Referencing (TIGER) System to

automate the geographic support processes needed to

meet the major geographic needs of the 1990 census:

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

structure for tabulation and publication of the collected

data, assigning residential and employer addresses to their

geographic location and relating those locations to the

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

content of the TIGER data base is made available to the

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

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

Bureau of the Census, Washington, DC 20233.

UNITED STATES

The United States comprises the 50 States and the

District of Columbia. In addition, the Census Bureau treats

the outlying areas as statistical equivalents of States for

the 1990 census. The outlying areas include American

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

Rico, and the Virgin Islands.

URBAN AND RURAL

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

census as comprising all territory, population, and housing

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

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

consists of territory, persons, and housing units in:

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

cities, villages, boroughs (except in Alaska and New

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

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

rural portions of ‘‘extended cities.’’

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

3. Other territory, incorporated or unincorporated, included

in urbanized areas.

Territory, population, and housing units not classified as

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

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

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

outside incorporated and census designated places and

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

residual category specific to the classification of the rural in

each data product.

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

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

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

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

nonfarm’’ comprises the remaining rural.

The urban and rural classification cuts across the other

hierarchies; for example, there is generally both urban and

rural territory within both metropolitan and nonmetropolitan

areas.

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

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

divisions) classified as urban under special rules relating to

population size and density. The definition of urban that

restricted itself to incorporated places having 2,500 or

more persons excluded many large, densely settled areas

merely because they were not incorporated. Prior to the

1950 census, the Census Bureau attempted to avoid some

of the more obvious omissions by classifying selected

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

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

excluded from the urban category.

To improve its measure of urban territory, population,

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

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

unincorporated places (now, census designated places)

for the 1950 census. Urban was defined as territory,

persons, and housing units in urbanized areas and, outside

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

three exceptions, the 1950 census definition of urban has

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

towns in the New England States, townships in New

Jersey and Pennsylvania, and Arlington County, Virginia,

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

anyway because they were included in an urbanized area

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

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

1980, and 1990 censuses. Extended cities primarily affect

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

little effect on the urban and rural population and housing

units at the national and State levels— although for some

individual counties and urbanized areas, the effects have

been more evident. Third, changes since the 1970 census

in the criteria for defining urbanized areas have permitted

these areas to be defined around smaller centers.

Documentation of the urbanized area and extended city

criteria is available from the Chief, Geography Division,

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

Extended City

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

States toward the extension of city boundaries to include

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

places as urban would include in the urban designation

territory, persons, and housing units whose environment is

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

Census Bureau identified as rural such territory and its

population and housing units for each extended city whose

closely settled area was located in an urbanized area. For

the 1990 census, this classification also has been applied

to certain places outside urbanized areas.

In summary presentations by size of place, the urban

portion of an extended city is classified by the population of

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

rural.’’

URBANIZED AREA (UA)

The Census Bureau delineates urbanized areas (UA’s)

to provide a better separation of urban and rural territory,

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

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

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

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

urban fringe generally consists of contiguous territory

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

The urban fringe also includes outlying territory of such

density if it was connected to the core of the contiguous

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

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

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

included in the urban fringe if it eliminates an enclave or

closes an indentation in the boundary of the urbanized

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

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

population density of at least 1,000 persons per square

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

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

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

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

DC 20233.

Urbanized Area Central Place

One or more central places function as the dominant

centers of each UA. The identification of a UA central

place permits the comparison of this dominant center with

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

number of central places, and not all central places are

necessarily included in the UA title. UA central places

include:

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

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

metropolitan area (MA).

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

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

determined by population size.

Urbanized Area Title and Code

The title of a UA identifies those places that are most

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

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

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

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

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

located in an MA, the Census Bureau uses the population

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

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

The numeric code used to identify each UA is the same

as the code for the mostly encompassing MA (including

CMSA and PMSA). If MA title cities represent multiple

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

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

based on the alphabetical sequence of the UA title in

relationship to the other UA and MA titles.

VOTING DISTRICT (VTD)

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

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

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

each State participating in Phase 2 of the 1990 Census

Redistricting Data Program outlined the boundaries of

VTD’s around groups of whole census blocks on census

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

those legally or currently established. Also, to meet the

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

VTD boundaries to nearby block boundaries. Therefore,

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

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

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

referred to as ‘‘election precincts.’’

Each VTD is assigned a four-character alphanumeric

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

is assigned to nonparticipating areas; the Census Bureau

reports data for areas coded ‘‘ZZZZ.’’

ZIP CODE

ZIP Codes are administrative units established by the

United States Postal Service (USPS) for the distribution of

mail. ZIP Codes serve addresses for the most efficient

delivery of mail, and therefore generally do not respect

political or census statistical area boundaries. ZIP Codes

usually do not have clearly identifiable boundaries, often

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

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

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

identify a major city or sectional distribution center, and the

last two digits generally signify a specific post office’s

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

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

SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICS

LIVING QUARTERS

Living quarters are classified as either housing units

or group quarters. (For more information, see the discussion under ‘‘Group Quarters.’’) Usually, living quarters are in structures intended for residential use (for

example, a one-family home, apartment house, hotel or

motel, boarding house, or mobile home). Living quarters

also may be in structures intended for nonresidential

use (for example, the rooms in a warehouse where a

guard lives), as well as in places such as tents, vans,

shelters for the homeless, dormitories, barracks, and

old railroad cars.

Housing Units—A housing unit is a house, an apartment, a mobile home or trailer, a group of rooms or a

single room occupied as separate living quarters or, if

vacant, intended for occupancy as separate living quarters. Separate living quarters are those in which the

occupants live and eat separately from any other persons in the building and which have direct access from

outside the building or through a common hall.

The occupants may be a single family, one person

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

other group of related or unrelated persons who share

living arrangements. For vacant units, the criteria of

DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICS B–1
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 2 SESS: 31 OUTPUT: Mon Jul 12 09:36:29 1993 / pssw01/ disk2/ 90dec/ ch2/ usst/ appb

separateness and direct access are applied to the

intended occupants whenever possible. If that information cannot be obtained, the criteria are applied to the

previous occupants.

Both occupied and vacant housing units are included

in the housing unit inventory, except that recreational

vehicles, boats, vans, tents, railroad cars, and the like

are included only if they are occupied as someone’s

usual place of residence. Vacant mobile homes are

included provided they are intended for occupancy on

the site where they stand. Vacant mobile homes on

dealers’ sales lots, at the factory, or in storage yards are

excluded from the housing inventory.

If the living quarters contain nine or more persons

unrelated to the householder or person in charge, (a

total of ten unrelated persons), they are classified as

group quarters. If the living quarters contain eight or

fewer persons unrelated to the householder or person in

charge, they are classified as housing units.

Occupied Housing Units—A housing unit is classified

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

person or group of persons living in it at the time of

enumeration, or if the occupants are only temporarily

absent; that is, away on vacation. If all the persons

staying in the unit at the time of the census have their

usual place of residence elsewhere, the unit is classified

as vacant. A household includes all the persons who

occupy a housing unit as their usual place of residence.

By definition, the count of occupied housing units for

100-percent tabulations is the same as the count of

households. In sample tabulations, the counts of household and occupied housing units may vary slightly

because of different sample weighting methods.

Vacant Housing Units—A housing unit is vacant if no

one is living in it at the time of enumeration, unless its

occupants are only temporarily absent. Units temporarily occupied at the time of enumeration entirely by

persons who have a usual residence elsewhere are also

classified as vacant. (For more information, see discussion under ‘‘Usual Home Elsewhere.’’)

New units not yet occupied are classified as vacant

housing units if construction has reached a point where

all exterior windows and doors are installed and final

usable floors are in place. Vacant units are excluded if

they are open to the elements; that is, the roof, walls,

windows, and/ or doors no longer protect the interior

from the elements, or if there is positive evidence (such

as a sign on the house or in the block) that the unit is

condemned or is to be demolished. Also excluded are

quarters being used entirely for nonresidential purposes, such as a store or an office, or quarters used for

the storage of business supplies or inventory, machinery, or agricultural products.

Hotels, Motels, Rooming Houses, Etc.—Occupied

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

places are classified as housing units only when occupied by permanent residents; that is, persons who

consider the hotel as their usual place of residence or

have no usual place of residence elsewhere. Vacant

rooms or suites of rooms are classified as housing units

only in those hotels, motels, and similar places in which

75 percent or more of the accommodations are occupied by permanent residents.

If any of the occupants in a rooming or boarding

house live and eat separately from others in the building

and have direct access, their quarters are classified as

separate housing units.

Staff Living Quarters—The living quarters occupied by

staff personnel within any group quarters are separate

housing units if they satisfy the housing unit criteria of

separateness and direct access; otherwise, they are

considered group quarters.

Comparability—The first Census of Housing in 1940

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

term became ‘‘housing unit’’ and the definition has been

modified slightly in succeeding censuses, the 1990

definition is essentially comparable to previous censuses. There was no change in the housing unit definition between 1980 and 1990.

ACREAGE

The data on acreage were obtained from questionnaire items H5a and H19a. Question H5a is asked at all

occupied and vacant one-family houses and mobile

homes. Question H19a was asked on a sample basis at

all occupied and vacant one-family houses and mobile

homes.

Question H5a asks whether the house or mobile

home is located on a place of 10 or more acres. The

intent of this item is to eliminate one-family houses on

10 or more acres from the specified owner- and renteroccupied universes for value and rent tabulations.

Question H19a provides data on whether the unit is

located on land of less than 1 acre. The main purpose of

this item, in conjunction with question H19b on agricultural sales, is to identify farm units. (For more information, see discussion under ‘‘Farm Residence.’’)

For both items 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 or creek, or

another piece of land.

Comparability—Question H5a is similar as that asked

in 1970 and 1980. This item was asked for the first time

of mobile home occupants in 1990. Question H19a is an

abbreviated form of a question asked at all housing

units in 1980. In previous censuses, information on city

or suburban lot and number of acres was also obtained.

B–2 DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICS
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 3 SESS: 31 OUTPUT: Mon Jul 12 09:36:29 1993 / pssw01/ disk2/ 90dec/ ch2/ usst/ appb

AGE

The data on age were derived from answers to

questionnaire item 5, which was asked of all persons.

The age classification is based on the age of the person

in completed years as of April 1, 1990. The age response

in question 5a was normally used to represent a person’s age. However, when the age response was

unacceptable or unavailable, a person’s age was derived

from an acceptable year of birth response in question

5b.

Data on age are used to determine the applicability of

other 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.

Some tabulations are shown by the age of the

householder. These data were derived from the age

responses for each householder. (For more information

on householder, see the discussion under ‘‘Household

Type and Relationship.’’)

Median Age—This measure divides the age distribution

into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below

the median value and one-half above the value. Generally, median age is computed on the basis of more

detailed age intervals than are shown in some census

publications; thus, a median based on a less detailed

distribution may differ slightly from a corresponding

median for the same population based on a more

detailed distribution. (For more information on medians,

see the discussion under ‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

Limitation of the Data—Counts in 1970 and 1980 for

persons 100 years old and over were substantially

overstated. Improvements were made in the questionnaire design, in the allocation procedures, and to the

respondent instruction guide to attempt to minimize this

problem in 1990.

Review of detailed 1990 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. 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 persons in most age groups are

actually 1 year younger.

For most single years of age, the misstatements are

largely offsetting. The problem is most pronounced at

age 0 because persons lost to age 1 may not have been

fully offset by the inclusion of babies born after April 1,

1990 and because there may have been more rounding

up to age 1 to avoid reporting age as 0 years. (Age in

completed months was not collected for infants under

age 1.)

The reporting of age 1 year older than age on April 1,

1990 is likely to have been greater in areas where the

census data were collected later in 1990. The magnitude of this problem was much less in the three previous

censuses where age was typically derived from respondent data on year of birth and quarter of birth. (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 are

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 each census since 1940,

the age of a person was assigned when it was not

reported. In censuses before 1940, with the exception

of 1880, persons 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 Appendix C, Accuracy of

the Data.)

AGRICULTURAL SALES

Data on the sales of agricultural crops were obtained

from questionnaire item H19b, which was asked on a

sample basis at occupied one-family houses and mobile

homes located on lots of one acre or more. Data for this

item exclude units on lots of less than one acre, units

located in structures containing 2 or more units, and all

vacant units. This item refers to the total amount (before

taxes and expenses) received in 1989 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 asked

to estimate total agricultural sales in 1989 even if some

portion of the sales had been made by other 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 Bureau’s Census of Agriculture

(Factfinder for the Nation: Agricultural Statistics, Bureau

of the Census, 1989). (For more information, see the

discussion under ‘‘Farm Residence.’’)

BEDROOMS

The data on bedrooms were obtained from questionnaire item H9, which was asked at both occupied and

vacant housing units. This item was asked on a sample

respondents to round their age up if they were close to

having a birthday. It is likely that approximately 10

percent of persons in most age groups are actually 1

year younger.

 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 4 SESS: 31 OUTPUT: Mon Jul 12 09:36:29 1993 / pssw01/ disk2/ 90dec/ ch2/ usst/ appb

For most single years of age, the misstatements are

largely offsetting. The problem is most pronounced at

age 0 because persons lost to age 1 may not have been

fully offset by the inclusion of babies born after April 1,

1990 and because there may have been more rounding

up to age 1 to avoid reporting age as 0 years. (Age in

completed months was not collected for infants under

The reporting of age 1 year older than age on April 1,

1990 is likely to have been greater in areas where the

census data were collected later in 1990. The magnitude of this problem was much less in the three previous

censuses where age was typically derived from respondent data on year of birth and quarter of birth. (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 are

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 each census since 1940,

the age of a person was assigned when it was not

reported. In censuses before 1940, with the exception

of 1880, persons 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 Appendix C, Accuracy of

the Data.) basis. 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 or apartment 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. In past censuses, a room was defined as a

bedroom if it was used mainly for sleeping even if also

used for other purposes. Rooms that were designed to

be used as bedrooms but used mainly for other purposes were not considered to be bedrooms. A distribution of housing units by number of bedrooms calculated

from data collected in a 1986 test showed virtually no

differences in the two versions except in the two bedroom category, where the previous ‘‘use’’ definition

showed a slightly lower proportion of units.

BOARDED-UP STATUS

Boarded-up status was obtained from questionnaire

item C2 and was determined for all vacant units. Boarded-up

units have windows and doors covered by wood, metal,

or masonry to protect the interior and to prevent entry

into the building. A single-unit structure, a unit in a

multi-unit structure, or an entire multi-unit structure may

be boarded-up in this way. For certain census data

products, boarded-up units are shown only for units in

the ‘‘Other vacant’’ category. A unit classified as ‘‘Usual

home elsewhere’’ can never be boarded up. (For more

information, see the discussion under ‘‘Usual Home

Elsewhere.’’)

Comparability—This item was first asked in the 1980

census and was shown only for year-round vacant

housing units. In 1990, data are shown for all vacant

housing units.

BUSINESS ON PROPERTY

The data for business on property were obtained

from questionnaire item H5b, which was asked at all

occupied and vacant one-family houses and mobile

homes. This question is used to exclude owner-occupied

one-family on the property with business or medical

offices from certain statistics on financial characteristics.

A business must be easily recognizable from the

outside. It will usually have a separate outside entrance

and have the appearance of a business, such as a

grocery store, restaurant, or barbershop. 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 as having 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

questionnaire item H25, which was asked at owneroccupied condominiums. This item was asked on a

sample basis. A condominium fee is normally charged

monthly to the owners of the 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 fuels may be included in

the condominium fee if the units do not have separate

meters.

Data on condominium fees may include real estate

tax and/ or insurance payments for the common property, but do not include real estate taxes nor fire, hazard,

and flood insurance for the individual unit already reported

in questions H21 and H22.

B–4 DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICS
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 5 SESS: 31 OUTPUT: Mon Jul 12 09:36:29 1993 / pssw01/ disk2/ 90dec/ ch2/ usst/ appb

Amounts reported are the regular monthly payment,

even if they are paid by someone outside the household

or remain unpaid. Costs are estimated as closely as

possible when exact costs are not known.

The data from this item are added to payments for

mortgages (both first and junior mortgages and home

equity loans), real estate taxes, fire, hazard, and flood

insurance payments, utilities, and fuels to derive ‘‘Selected

Monthly Owner Costs’’ and ‘‘Selected Monthly Owner

Costs as a Percentage of Household Income in 1989’’

for condominium owners.

Comparability—This is a new item in 1990.

CONDOMINIUM STATUS

The data on condominium housing units were obtained

from questionnaire item H18, 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 in some

or all of the common areas and facilities such as land,

roof, hallways, entrances, elevators, swimming pool,

etc. Condominiums may be single-family houses as well

as 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 or trailer’’ or

‘‘other’’ (see discussion under ‘‘Units in Structure’’)

cannot be a condominium unit.

Limitation of the Data—Testing done 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. In 1970 and

1980, the question on condominiums was asked on a

100-percent basis. In 1990, it was asked on a sample

basis.

CONTRACT RENT

The data on contract rent (also referred to as ‘‘rent

asked’’ for vacant units) were obtained from questionnaire item H7a, which was asked at all occupied housing

units that were rented for cash rent and all 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, the

respondent was instructed to report that part of the rent

estimated to be for his or her unit only. Respondents

were asked to report rent only for the housing unit

enumerated and to exclude 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 is also paid by the renter to the owner,

the respondent was instructed to include the fee or

carrying charge.

If a renter receives payments from lodgers or roomers who are listed as members of the household, the

respondent was instructed to report the rent without

deduction for any payments received from the lodgers

or roomers. The respondent was instructed to report the

rent agreed to or contracted for even if paid by someone

else such as friends or relatives living elsewhere, or a

church or welfare agency.

In some tabulations, contract rent is presented for all

renter-occupied housing units, as well as specified

renter-occupied and vacant-for-rent units. Specified renteroccupied and specified vacant-for-rent units exclude

one-family houses and mobile homes on 10 or more

acres. (For more information on rent, see the discussion

under ‘‘Gross Rent.’’)

Median and Quartile Contract Rent—The median

divides the rent distribution into two equal parts. Quartiles divide the rent distribution into four equal parts. 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. (For more information on medians and

quartiles, see the discussion under ‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

Aggregate Contract Rent—To calculate aggregate

contract rent, the amount assigned for the category

‘‘Less than $80’’ is $50. The amount assigned to the

category ‘‘$1,000 or more’’ is $1,250. Mean contract

rent is rounded to the nearest whole dollar. (For more

information on aggregates and means, see the discussion under ‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

Limitation of the Data—In the 1970 and 1980 censuses, contract rent for vacant units had high allocation

rates, about 35 percent.

 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 6 SESS: 35 OUTPUT: Mon Jul 12 09:36:29 1993 / pssw01/ disk2/ 90dec/ ch2/ usst/ appb

Comparability—Data on this item have been collected

since 1930. For 1990, quartiles were added because the

range of rents and values in the United States has

increased in recent years. Upper and lower quartiles

can be used to note large rent and value differences

among various geographic areas.

DURATION OF VACANCY

The data for duration of vacancy (also referred to as

‘‘months vacant’’) were obtained from questionnaire

item D, which was completed by census enumerators.

The statistics on duration of vacancy refer to the length

of time (in months and years) between the date the last

occupants moved from the unit and the time of enumeration. The data, therefore, do not provide a direct

measure of the total length of time units remain vacant.

For newly constructed units which have never been

occupied, the duration of vacancy is counted from the

date construction was completed. For recently converted or merged units, the time is reported from the

date conversion or merger was completed. Units occupied by an entire household with a usual home elsewhere are assigned to the ‘‘Less than 1 month’’ interval.

Comparability—Similar data have been collected since

1960. In 1970 and 1980, these data were shown only for

year-round housing units. In 1990, these data are shown

for all housing units.

FARM POPULATION

The farm population consists of persons in households living in farm residences. Some persons who are

counted on a property classified as a farm (including in

some cases farm workers) are excluded from the farm

population. Such persons include those who reside in

multi-unit buildings or group quarters.

The data on farm residence were obtained from

questionnaire items H19a and H19b. An occupied onefamily house or mobile home is classified as a farm

residence if (1) the housing unit is located on a property

of one acre or more, and (2) at least $1,000 worth of

agricultural products were sold from the property in

1989. Group quarters and housing units that are in

multi-unit buildings or vacant are not included as farm

residences.

A one-family unit occupied by a tenant household

paying cash rent for land and buildings is enumerated as

a farm residence only if sales of agricultural products

from its yard (as opposed to the general property on

which it is located) amounted to at least $1,000 in 1989.

A one-family unit occupied by a tenant household that

does not pay cash rent is enumerated as a farm

residence if the remainder of the farm (including its yard)

qualifies as a farm.

Farm residence is provided as an independent data

item only for housing units located in rural areas. It may

be derived for housing units in urban areas from the

data items on acreage and sales of agricultural products

on the public-use microdata samples (PUMS).

Comparability—These are the same criteria that were

used to define a farm residence in 1980. 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.

Note that the definition of a farm residence differs from

the definition of a farm in the Census of Agriculture

(Factfinder for the Nation: Agricultural Statistics, Bureau

of the Census, 1989).

GROUP QUARTERS

All persons not living in households are classified by

the Census Bureau as living in group quarters. Two

general categories of persons in group quarters are

recognized: (1) institutionalized persons and (2) other

persons in group quarters (also referred to as ‘‘noninstitutional group quarters’’). Information on the housing

characteristics of group quarters was not collected in

the census.

Institutionalized Persons—Includes persons under formally authorized, supervised care or custody in institutions at the time of enumeration. Such persons 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 persons in the

institution. Generally, institutionalized persons are 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.

Institutions include schools, hospitals, or wards for

the physically or mentally handicapped; hospitals or

wards for mental, tubercular, or chronic disease patients;

wards in general and military hospitals for patients who

have no usual home elsewhere; hospital wards for

drug/ alcohol abuse; rooms for long-term care patients

in wards or buildings on the grounds of hospitals,

nursing homes, convalescent homes, and rest homes

for the aged and dependent; juvenile institutions, including homes, schools, hospitals, orphanages, or residentialcare facilities for neglected, abused, and dependent

children; and correctional institutions, including halfway

houses operated for correctional purposes. ‘‘Staff residents’’; that is, staff personnel who live at the institution

are classified with the ‘‘Noninstitutional group quarters’’

population.

Other Persons in Group Quarters (also referred to

as ‘‘noninstitutional group quarters’’)—Includes all

persons who live in group quarters other than institutions. Persons who live in the following living quarters

are classified as ‘‘other persons in group quarters’’

when there are 10 or more unrelated persons living in

the unit; otherwise, these living quarters are classified

as housing units.

• Rooming Houses

• Group Homes

• Religious Group Quarters

• College Quarters Off Campus

Persons residing in certain other types of living

arrangements are classified as living in ‘‘noninstitutional

group quarters’’ regardless of the number of people

sharing the unit. These include persons residing in the

following types of group quarters:

• College Dormitories

• Military Quarters

• Agriculture Workers’ Dormitories

• Other Workers’ Dormitories

• Emergency Shelters for Homeless Persons (with sleeping facilities)

• Visible in Street Locations

• Dormitories for Nurses and Interns in General and

Military Hospitals

• Crews of Maritime Vessels

• Staff Residents of Institutions

• Other Nonhousehold Living Situations

• Living Quarters for Victims of Natural Disasters

Comparability—For the 1990 census, the definition of

institutionalized persons was revised so that the definition of ‘‘care’’ only includes persons under organized

medical or formally-authorized, supervised care or custody. As a result of this change to the institutional

definition, maternity homes are classified as noninstitutional rather than institutional group quarters as in

previous censuses. The following types of other group

quarters are classified as institutional rather than noninstitutional group quarters: ‘‘halfway houses (operated

for correctional purposes)’’ and ‘‘wards in general and

military hospitals for patients who have no usual home

elsewhere,’’ which includes maternity, neonatal, pediatric, military, and surgical wards of hospitals, otherpurpose wards of hospitals, and wards for persons with

infectious diseases. These changes should not significantly affect the comparability of data with earlier censuses because of the relatively small number of persons

involved.

As in 1980, 10 or more unrelated persons living

together were classified as living in noninstitutional

group quarters. In 1970, the criteria was six or more

unrelated persons.

In 1990 census data products, the phrase ‘‘inmates

of institutions’’ was changed to ‘‘institutionalized persons.’’ Also, persons living in noninstitutional group

quarters were referred to as ‘‘other persons in group

quarters,’’ and the phrase ‘‘staff residents’’ was used for

staff living in institutions. (For more information on

‘‘Group Quarters,’’ see 1990 CP-1, General Population

Characteristics.)

GROSS RENT

Gross rent is the contract rent plus the estimated

average monthly cost of utilities (electricity, gas, and

water) and fuels (oil, coal, kerosene, wood, etc.) if these

are paid for by the renter (or paid for the renter by

someone else). Gross rent is intended to eliminate

differentials which 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 a yearly 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. Gross rent is

calculated on a sample basis.

Comparability—Data on gross rent have been collected since 1940 for renter-occupied housing units. In

1980, costs for electricity and gas were collected as

average monthly costs. In 1990, all utility and fuel costs

were collected as yearly costs and divided by 12 to

provide an average monthly cost.

GROSS RENT AS A PERCENTAGE OF

HOUSEHOLD INCOME IN 1989

Gross rent as a percentage of household income in

1989 is a computed ratio of monthly gross rent to

monthly household income (total household income in

1989 divided by 12). The ratio was computed separately

for each unit and was 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 1989 comprise the category ‘‘Not

computed.’’ This item is calculated on a sample basis.

HISPANIC ORIGIN

The data on Spanish/ Hispanic origin were derived

from answers to questionnaire item 7, which was asked

of all persons. Persons of Hispanic origin are those who

DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICS B–7
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 8 SESS: 31 OUTPUT: Mon Jul 12 09:36:29 1993 / pssw01/ disk2/ 90dec/ ch2/ usst/ appb

classified themselves in one of the specific Hispanic

origin categories listed on the questionnaire—‘‘Mexican,’’ ‘‘Puerto Rican,’’ or ‘‘Cuban’’—as well as those

who indicated that they were of ‘‘other Spanish/ Hispanic’’ origin. Persons of ‘‘Other Spanish/ Hispanic’’

origin are those whose origins are from Spain, the

Spanish-speaking countries of Central or South America, or the Dominican Republic, or they are persons of

Hispanic origin identifying themselves generally as Spanish, Spanish-American, Hispanic, Hispano, Latino, and

so on. Write-in responses to the ‘‘other Spanish/ Hispanic’’ category were coded only for sample data.

Origin can be viewed as the ancestry, nationality

group, lineage, or country of birth of the person or the

person’s parents or ancestors before their arrival in the

United States. Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any

race.

Some tabulations are shown by the Hispanic origin of

the householder. In all cases where households, families, or occupied housing units are classified by Hispanic

origin, the Hispanic origin of the householder is used.

(See the discussion of householder under ‘‘Household

Type and Relationship.’’)

During direct interviews conducted by enumerators, if

a person could not provide a single origin response, he

or she was asked to select, based on self-identification,

the group which best described his or her origin or

descent. If a person could not provide a single group,

the origin of the person’s mother was used. If a single

group could not be provided for the person’s mother,

the first origin reported by the person was used.

If any household member failed to respond to the

Spanish/ Hispanic origin question, a response was assigned

by the computer according to the reported entries of

other household members by using specific rules of

precedence of household relationship. In the processing of sample questionnaires, responses to other questions on the questionnaire, such as ancestry and place

of birth, were used to assign an origin before any

reference was made to the origin reported by other

household members. If an origin was not entered for any

household member, an origin was assigned from another

household according to the race of the householder.

This procedure is a variation of the general imputation

process described in Appendix C, Accuracy of the Data.

Comparability—There may be differences between the

data on Hispanic origin of the householder based on

100-percent tabulations and sample tabulations. Such

differences are the result of sampling variability, nonsampling error, and more extensive edit procedures for

the Spanish/ Hispanic origin item on the sample questionnaires. (For more information on sampling variability

and nonsampling error, see Appendix C, Accuracy of

the Data.)

The 1990 data on Hispanic origin of the householder

are generally comparable with those for the 1980 census. However, there are some differences in the format

of the Hispanic origin question between the two censuses. For 1990, the word ‘‘descent’’ was deleted from

the 1980 wording. In addition, the term ‘‘MexicanAmer.’’ used in 1980 was shortened further to ‘‘MexicanAm.’’ to reduce misreporting (of ‘‘American’’) in this

category detected in the 1980 census. Also, the 1990

question allowed those who reported as ‘‘other Spanish/ Hispanic’’ to write in their specific Hispanic origin

group. Misreporting in the ‘‘Mexican-Amer.’’ category of

the 1980 census item on Spanish/ Hispanic origin may

affect the comparability of 1980 and 1990 census data

for persons of Hispanic origin for certain areas of the

country. (For more information on ‘‘Hispanic Origin,’’

see 1990 CP-1, General Population Characteristics.)

HOUSE HEATING FUEL

The data on house heating fuel were obtained from

questionnaire item H14, which was asked at occupied

housing units. This item was asked on a sample basis.

The data show the type of fuel used most to heat the

house or apartment.

Utility Gas—Includes gas piped through underground

pipes from a central system to serve the neighborhood.

Bottled, Tank, or LP Gas—Includes liquid propane gas

stored in bottles or tanks which are refilled or exchanged

when empty.

Fuel Oil, Kerosene, Etc.—Includes fuel oil, kerosene,

gasoline, alcohol, and other combustible liquids.

Wood—Includes purchased wood, wood cut by household members on their property or elsewhere, driftwood,

sawmill or construction scraps, or the like.

Solar Energy—Includes heat provided by sunlight which

is collected, stored, and actively distributed to most of

the rooms.

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 house heating fuel have been

collected since 1940. The category, ‘‘Solar energy’’ is

new for 1990.

HOUSEHOLD TYPE AND RELATIONSHIP

Household

A household includes all the persons who occupy a

housing unit. A housing unit is a house, an apartment, a

mobile home, a group of rooms, or a single room that is

B–8 DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICS
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 9 SESS: 31 OUTPUT: Mon Jul 12 09:36:29 1993 / pssw01/ disk2/ 90dec/ ch2/ usst/ appb

occupied (or if vacant, is intended for occupancy) as

separate living quarters. Separate living quarters are

those in which the occupants live and eat separately

from any other persons in the building and which have

direct access from 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

persons who share living arrangements.

In 100-percent tabulations, the count of households

or householders always equals the count of occupied

housing units. In sample tabulations, the numbers may

differ as a result of the weighting process.

Persons Per Household—A measure obtained by dividing the number of persons in households by the number

of households (or householders). In cases where persons in households are cross-classified by race or

Hispanic origin, persons in the household are classified

by the race or Hispanic origin of the householder rather

than the race or Hispanic origin of each individual.

Relationship to Householder

Householder—The data on relationship to householder

were derived from answers to questionnaire item 2,

which was asked of all persons in housing units. One

person in each household is designated as the householder. In most cases, this is the person, or one of the

persons, in whose name the home is owned, being

bought, or rented and who is listed in column 1 of the

census questionnaire. If there is no such person in the

household, any adult household member 15 years old

and over could be designated as the householder.

Households are classified by type according to the

sex of the householder and the presence of relatives.

Two types of householders are distinguished: a family

householder and a nonfamily householder. A family

householder is a householder living with one or more

persons related to him or her by birth, marriage, or

adoption. The householder and all persons in the household related to him or her are family members. A

nonfamily householder is a householder living alone or

with nonrelatives only.

Spouse—Includes a person married to and living with a

householder. This category includes persons in formal

marriages, as well as persons in common-law marriages.

The number of spouses is equal to the number of

‘‘married-couple families’’ or ‘‘married-couple households’’ in 100-percent tabulations. The number of spouses,

however, is generally less than half of the number of

‘‘married persons with spouse present’’ in sample tabulations, since more than one married couple can live in

a household, but only spouses of householders are

specifically identified as ‘‘spouse.’’ For sample tabulations, the number of ‘‘married persons with spouse

present’’ includes married-couple subfamilies and marriedcouple families.

Child—Includes a son or daughter by birth, a stepchild,

or adopted child of the householder, regardless of the

child’s age or marital status. The category excludes

sons-in-law, daughters-in-law, and foster children.

Own Child—A never-married child under 18 years

who is a son or daughter by birth, a stepchild, or an

adopted child of the householder. In certain tabulations, own children are further classified as living with

two parents or with one parent only. Own children of

the householder living with two parents are by definition found only in married-couple families.

‘‘Related children’’ in a family include own children

and all other persons under 18 years of age in the

household, regardless of marital status, 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—In tabulations, includes any household member related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption, but not included specifically in another

relationship category.

Nonrelatives—Includes any household member, including foster children not related to the householder by

birth, marriage, or adoption.

When relationship is not reported for an individual, it

is imputed according to the responses for age, sex, and

marital status for that person while maintaining consistency with responses for other individuals in the household. (For more information on imputation, see Appendix C, Accuracy of the Data.)

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 consists of a householder and one or more

other persons living in the same household who are

related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption. All persons in a household who are related to the

householder are regarded as members of his or her

family. A household can contain only one family for

purposes of census tabulations. Not all households

contain families since a household may comprise a

group of unrelated persons or one person living alone.

Families are classified by type as either a ‘‘marriedcouple family’’ or ‘‘other family’’ according to the sex of

the householder and the presence of relatives. The data

on family type are based on answers to questions on

sex and relationship which were asked on a 100-

percent basis.

DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICS B–9
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 10 SESS: 34 OUTPUT: Mon Jul 12 09:36:29 1993 / pssw01/ disk2/ 90dec/ ch2/ usst/ appb

Married-Couple Family—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—A family with a

male householder and no spouse of householder

present.

Female Householder, No Husband Present—A family with a female householder and no spouse of

householder present.

Persons Per Family—A measure obtained by dividing

the number of persons in families by the total number of

families (or family householders). In cases where the

measure, ‘‘persons in family’’ or ‘‘persons per family’’

are cross-tabulated by race or Hispanic origin, the race

or Hispanic origin refers to the householder rather than

the race or Hispanic origin of each individual.

Comparability—The 1990 definition of a household is

the same as that used in 1980. The 1980 relationship

category ‘‘Son/ daughter’’ has been replaced by two

categories, ‘‘Natural-born or adopted son/ daughter’’

and ‘‘Stepson/ stepdaughter.’’ ‘‘Grandchild’’ has been

added as a separate category. The 1980 nonrelative

categories: ‘‘Roomer, boarder’’ and ‘‘Partner, roommate’’ have been replaced by the categories ‘‘Roomer,

boarder, or foster child,’’ ‘‘Housemate, roommate,’’ and

‘‘Unmarried partner.’’ The 1980 nonrelative category

‘‘Paid employee’’ has been dropped.

INCOME IN 1989

The data on income in 1989 were derived from

answers to questionnaire items 32 and 33. Information

on money income received in the calendar year 1989

was requested from persons 15 years old and over.

‘‘Total income’’ is the algebraic sum of the amounts

reported separately for wage or salary income; net

nonfarm self-employment income;net farm self-employment

income; interest, dividend, or net rental or royalty income;

Social Security or railroad retirement income; public

assistance or welfare income; retirement or disability

income; and all other income.

Receipts from the following sources are not included

as income: 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 persons, etc.; withdrawal of bank deposits; money borrowed; tax refunds;

exchange of money between relatives living in the same

household; gifts and lump-sum inheritances, insurance

payments, and other types of lump-sum receipts.

Income of Households—Includes the income of the

householder and all other persons 15 years old and

over in the household, whether related to the householder or not. Because many households consist of only

one person, average household income is usually less

than average family income.

Median Income—The median divides the income distribution into two equal parts, one having incomes

above the median and the other having incomes below

the median. For households, the median income is

based on the distribution of the total number of units

including those with no income. The median income

values for all households are computed on the basis of

more detailed income intervals than shown in most

tabulations. Median household income figures of $50,000

or less are calculated using linear interpolation. All other

median income amounts are derived through Pareto

interpolation. (For more information on medians and

interpolation, see the discussion under ‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

Mean Income—This is the amount obtained by dividing

the total 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. For the various types

of income the means are based on households having

those types of income.

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.

Limitation of the Data—Since questionnaire entries for

income frequently are based on memory and not on

records, many persons tended to forget minor or irregular 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 Social Security, public assistance, or from

interest, dividends, and net rental income.

There are errors of reporting due to the misunderstanding of the income questions such as reporting

gross rather than net dollar amounts for the two questions on net self-employment income, which resulted in

an overstatement of these items. Another common

error is the reporting of identical dollar amounts in two of

B–10 DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICS
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 11 SESS: 34 OUTPUT: Mon Jul 12 09:36:29 1993 / pssw01/ disk2/ 90dec/ ch2/ usst/ appb

the eight type of income items where a respondent with

only one source of income assumed that the second

amount should be entered to represent total income.

Such instances of overreporting had an impact on the

level of mean nonfarm or farm self-employment income

and mean total income published for the various geographical subdivisions of the State.

In income tabulations for households, the lowest

income group (e.g., less than $5,000) includes units that

were classified as having no 1989 income. Many of

these were living on income ‘‘in kind,’’ savings, or gifts,

were newly created families, or families in which the

sole breadwinner had recently died or left the household. However, many of the households that reported

no income probably had some money income which

was not recorded in the census.

Comparability—The income data collected in the 1980

and 1970 censuses are similar to the 1990 census data,

but there are variations in the detail of the questions. In

1980, income information for 1979 was collected from

persons in approximately 19 percent of all housing units

and group quarters. Each person was required to report:

• Wage or salary income

• Net nonfarm self-employment income

• Net farm self-employment income

• Interest, dividend, or net rental or royalty income

• Social Security income

• Public assistance income

• Income from all other sources

Between the 1980 and 1990 censuses, there were

minor differences in the processing of the data. In both

censuses, all persons 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 either 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 and 1990, 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 Appendix C, ‘‘Accuracy of the Data.’’)

For several reasons, the income data shown in

census tabulations are not directly comparable with

those that may be obtained from statistical summaries

of income tax returns. Income, as defined for Federal

tax purposes, differs somewhat from the Census Bureau

concept. (For more detailed information on ‘‘Income in

1989,’’ see 1990 CP-2, Social and Economic Characteristics.)

INSURANCE FOR FIRE, HAZARD, AND FLOOD

The data for fire, hazard, and flood insurance were

obtained from questionnaire item H22, which was asked

at owner-occupied one-family houses, condominiums,

and mobile homes. 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 included even if paid by someone outside

the household or remain unpaid. When premiums are

paid on other than a yearly basis, the premiums are

converted to a yearly basis.

The payment for fire, hazard, and flood insurance is

added to payments for real estate taxes, utilities, fuels,

and mortgages (both first and junior mortgages and

home equity loans) to derive ‘‘Selected Monthly Owner

Costs’’ and ‘‘Selected Monthly Owner Costs as a Percentage of Household Income in 1989.’’

A separate question (H23d) 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. The question was asked only at

owner-occupied one-family houses. Excluded were mobile

homes, condominiums, houses with a business or medical office on the property, houses on 10 or more acres,

and housing units in multi-unit buildings. In 1990, the

question was asked of all one-family owner-occupied

houses, including houses on 10 or more acres. It was

also asked at mobile homes, condominiums, and onefamily houses with a business or medical office on the

property.

KITCHEN FACILITIES

Data on kitchen facilities were obtained from questionnaire item H11, which was asked at both occupied

and vacant housing units. A unit has complete kitchen

facilities when it has all of the following: (1) an installed

sink with piped water, (2) a range, cook top and convection or microwave oven, or cookstove, and (3) a

refrigerator. All kitchen facilities must be located in the

DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICS B–11
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 12 SESS: 31 OUTPUT: Mon Jul 12 09:36:29 1993 / pssw01/ disk2/ 90dec/ ch2/ usst/ appb

structure. They need not be in the same room. Portable

cooking equipment is not considered a range or cookstove. 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.

MARITAL STATUS

The data on marital status were derived from answers

to questionnaire item 6, which was asked of all persons.

The marital status classification refers to the status at

the time of enumeration. Data on marital status are

tabulated only for persons 15 years old and over.

All persons were asked whether they were ‘‘now

married,’’ ‘‘widowed,’’ ‘‘divorced,’’ ‘‘separated,’’ or ‘‘never

married.’’ Couples who live together (unmarried persons, persons in common-law marriages) were allowed

to report the marital status they considered the most

appropriate.

When marital status was not reported, it was imputed

according to the relationship to the householder and

sex and age of the person. (For more information on

imputation, see Appendix C, Accuracy of the Data.)

Comparability—The 1990 marital status definitions are

the same as those used in 1980 with the exception of

the term ‘‘never married’’ which replaces the term

‘‘single’’ in tabulations. A general marital status question

has been asked in every census since 1880.

MEALS INCLUDED IN RENT

The data on meals included in the rent were obtained

from questionnaire item H7b, which was asked of all

occupied housing units that were rented for cash and all

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-forrent units. Specified renter-occupied and specified vacantfor-rent units exclude one-family houses on 10 or more

acres. (For more information, see the discussion under

‘‘Contract Rent.’’)

Comparability—This is a new item in 1990. It is intended

to measure ‘‘congregate’’ housing which is generally

considered to be housing units where the rent includes

meals and other services, such as transportation and

recreation.

MOBILE HOME COSTS

The data on mobile home costs were obtained from

questionnaire item H26, which was asked at owneroccupied mobile homes. This item was asked on a

sample basis.

These data include the total yearly costs for personal

property taxes, land or site rent, registration fees, and

license fees on all owner-occupied mobile homes. The

instructions are to not include real estate taxes already

reported in question H21.

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 homes owners.

Comparability—This item is new for 1990.

MORTGAGE PAYMENT

The data on mortgage payment were obtained from

questionnaire item H23b, which was asked at owner

occupied one-family houses, condominiums, and mobile

homes. This item was asked on a sample basis. Question H23b provides the regular monthly amount required

to be paid 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 1989’’

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, or 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. It was collected only

at owner-occupied one-family houses. Excluded were

mobile homes, condominiums, houses with a business

or medical office on the property, one-family houses on

10 or more acres, and housing units in multi-unit buildings. In 1990, the questions on monthly mortgage

payments were asked of all owner-occupied one-family

houses, including one-family houses on 10 or more

acres. They were also asked at mobile homes, condominiums, and one-family houses with a business or

medical office.

The 1980 census obtained total regular monthly

mortgage payments, including payments on second or

junior mortgages, from a single question. Two questions

were used in 1990; one for regular monthly payments on

first mortgages, and one for regular monthly payments

on second or junior mortgages or home equity loans.

(For more information, see the discussion under ‘‘Second or Junior Mortgage Payment.’’)

MORTGAGE STATUS

The data on mortgage status were obtained from

questionnaire items H23a and H24a, which were asked

at owner-occupied one-family houses, condominiums,

and mobile homes. ‘‘Mortgage’’ refers to all forms of

debt where the property is pledged as security for

repayment of the debt. It includes such debt instruments

as 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

1989’’ are usually 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—A question on mortgage status was

included in the 1940 and 1950 censuses, but not in the

1960 and 1970 censuses. The item was reinstated in

1980 along with a separate question dealing with the

existence of second or junior mortgages. In 1980, the

mortgage status questions were asked at owner-occupied

one-family houses on less than 10 acres. Excluded

were mobile homes, condominiums, houses with a

business or medical office, houses on 10 or more acres,

and housing units in multi-unit buildings. In 1990, the

questions were asked of all one-family owner-occupied

housing units, including houses on 10 or more acres.

They were also asked at mobile homes, condominiums,

and houses with a business or medical office.

PERSONS IN UNIT

This item is based on the 100-percent count of

persons in occupied housing units. All persons occupying the housing unit are counted, including the householder, occupants related to the householder and lodgers, roomers, boarders, and so forth.

The data on ‘‘persons in unit’’ show the number of

housing units occupied by the specified number of

persons. The phrase ‘‘persons in unit’’ is used for

housing tabulations, ‘‘persons in households’’ for population items. Figures for ‘‘persons in unit’’ match those

for ‘‘persons in household’’ for 100-percent data products. In sample products, they may differ because of the

weighting process.

Median Persons in Unit—In computing median persons in unit, a whole number is used as the midpoint of

an interval; thus, a unit with 4 persons is treated as an

interval ranging from 3.5 to 4.5 persons. Median persons is rounded to the nearest hundredth. (For more

information on medians, see the discussion under ‘‘Derived

Measures.’’)

Persons in Occupied Housing Units—This is the total

population minus those persons living in group quarters.

‘‘Persons per occupied housing unit’’ is computed by

dividing the population living in housing units by the

number of occupied housing units.

PERSONS PER ROOM

‘‘Persons per room’’ is obtained by dividing the

number of persons in each occupied housing unit by the

number of rooms in the unit. The figures shown refer,

therefore, to the number of occupied housing units

having the specified ratio of persons per room.

Mean Persons Per Room—This is computed by dividing persons in housing units by the aggregate number of

rooms. This is intended to provide a measure of utilization. A higher mean may indicate a greater degree of

utilization or crowding; a low mean may indicate underutilization. (For more information on means, see the

discussion under ‘‘Derived Measures.’’)

PLUMBING FACILITIES

The data on plumbing facilities were obtained from

questionnaire item H10, which was asked at both occupied and vacant housing units. This item was asked on

a sample basis. Complete plumbing facilities include hot

and cold piped water, a flush toilet, and 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 are not present.

Comparability—The 1990 data on complete plumbing

facilities are not strictly comparable with the 1980 data.

In 1980, 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

DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICS B–13
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 14 SESS: 32 OUTPUT: Mon Jul 12 09:36:29 1993 / pssw01/ disk2/ 90dec/ ch2/ usst/ appb

the residents of that unit. In 1990, the Census Bureau

dropped the requirement of exclusive use from the

definition of complete plumbing facilities. Of the 2.3

million year-round housing units classified in 1980 as

lacking complete plumbing for exclusive use, approximately 25 percent of these units had complete plumbing

but the facilities were also used by members of another

household. 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 units.

POVERTY STATUS IN 1989

The data on poverty status of households were

derived from answers to the same questions as the

income data. This item was asked on a sample basis.

Households are classified below the poverty level when

the total 1989 income of the family or of the nonfamily

householder is below the appropriate poverty threshold.

The income of persons living in the household who are

unrelated to the householder is not considered when

determining the poverty status of a household. The

poverty thresholds vary depending upon three criteria;

size of family, number of children, and age of the family

householder or unrelated individual. (For more information, on ‘‘Poverty Status in 1989’’ and ‘‘Income in 1989,’’

see 1990 CP-2, Social and Economic Characteristics.)

RACE

The data on race were derived from answers to

questionnaire item 4, which was asked of all persons.

The concept of race as used by the Census Bureau

reflects self-identification; it does not denote any clearcut scientific definition of biological stock. The data for

race represent self-classification by people according to

the race with which they most closely identify. Furthermore, it is recognized that the categories of the race

item include both racial and national origin or sociocultural groups.

During direct interviews conducted by enumerators, if

a person could not provide a single response to the race

question, he or she was asked to select, based on

self-identification, the group which best described his or

her racial identity. If a person could not provide a single

race response, the race of the mother was used. If a

single race response could not be provided for the

person’s mother, the first race reported by the person

was used. In all cases where occupied housing units,

households, or families are classified by race, the race

of the householder was used.

The racial classification used by the Census Bureau

generally adheres to the guidelines in Federal Statistical

Directive No. 15, issued by the Office of Management

and Budget, which provides standards on ethnic and

racial categories for statistical reporting to be used by all

Federal agencies. In this report, data are presented for

housing units classified by the race of the householder.

The racial categories used in the 1990 census data

products are provided below.

White—Includes persons who indicated their race as

‘‘White’’ or reported entries such as Canadian, German,

Italian, Lebanese, Near Easterner, Arab, or Polish.

Black—Includes persons who indicated their race as

‘‘Black or Negro’’ or reported entries such as African

American, Afro-American, Black Puerto Rican, Jamaican, Nigerian, West Indian, or Haitian.

American Indian, Eskimo, or Aleut—Includes persons

who classified themselves as such in one of the specific

race categories identified below.

American Indian—Includes persons 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.

Eskimo—Includes persons who indicated their race

as ‘‘Eskimo’’ or reported entries such as Arctic Slope,

Inupiat, and Yupik.

Aleut—Includes persons who indicated their race as

‘‘Aleut’’ or reported entries such as Alutiiq, Egegik,

and Pribilovian.

Asian or Pacific Islander—Includes persons who reported

in one of the Asian or Pacific Islander groups listed on

the questionnaire or who provided write-in responses

such as Thai, Nepali, or Tongan. A more detailed listing

of the groups comprising the Asian or Pacific Islander

population is presented in figure 1 below. In some data

products, information is presented separately for the

Asian population and the Pacific Islander population.

Asian—Includes ‘‘Chinese,’’ ‘‘Filipino,’’ ‘‘Japanese,’’ ‘‘Asian

Indian,’’ ‘‘Korean,’’ ‘‘Vietnamese,’’ and ‘‘Other Asian.’’

In some tables, ‘‘Other Asian’’ may not be shown

separately, but is included in the total Asian population.

Chinese—Includes persons who indicated their race

as ‘‘Chinese’’ or who identified themselves as Cantonese, Tibetan, or Chinese American. In standard

census reports, persons who reported as ‘‘Taiwanese’’ or ‘‘Formosan’’ are included here with Chinese.

B–14 DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICS
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 15 SESS: 32 OUTPUT: Mon Jul 12 09:36:29 1993 / pssw01/ disk2/ 90dec/ ch2/ usst/ appb

In special reports on the Asian or Pacific Islander

population, information on persons who identified

themselves as Taiwanese are shown separately.

Filipino—Includes persons who indicated their race

as ‘‘Filipino’’ or reported entries such as Philipino,

Philipine, or Filipino American.

Japanese—Includes persons who indicated their race

as ‘‘Japanese’’ and persons who identified themselves as Nipponese or Japanese American.

Asian Indian—Includes persons who indicated their

race as ‘‘Asian Indian’’ and persons who identified

themselves as Bengalese, Bharat, Dravidian, East

Indian, or Goanese.

Korean—Includes persons who indicated their race

as ‘‘Korean’’ and persons who identified themselves

as Korean American.

Vietnamese—Includes persons who indicated their

race as ‘‘Vietnamese’’ and persons who identified

themselves as Vietnamese American.

Cambodian—Includes persons who provided a write-in

response such as Cambodian or Cambodia.

Hmong—Includes persons who provided a write-in

response such as Hmong, Laohmong, or Mong.

Laotian—Includes persons who provided a write-in

response such as Laotian, Laos, or Lao.

Thai—Includes persons who provided a write-in response

such as Thai, Thailand, or Siamese.

Other Asian—Includes persons who provided a write-in

response of Bangladeshi, Burmese, Indonesian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, Amerasian, or Eurasian. See

figure 1 for other groups comprising ‘‘Other Asian.’’

Pacific Islander—Includes persons who indicated their

race as ‘‘Pacific Islander’’ by classifying themselves into

one of the following race categories or identifying

themselves as one of the Pacific Islander cultural groups

of Polynesian, Micronesian, or Melanesian.

Hawaiian—Includes persons who indicated their race

as ‘‘Hawaiian’’ as well as persons who identified

themselves as Part Hawaiian or Native Hawaiian.

Samoan—Includes persons who indicated their race

as ‘‘Samoan’’ or persons who identified themselves

as American Samoan or Western Samoan.

Guamanian—Includes persons who indicated their

race as ‘‘Guamanian’’ or persons who identified

themselves as Chamorro or Guam.

Other Pacific Islander—Includes persons who provided a write-in response of a Pacific Islander group

such as Tahitian, Northern Mariana Islander, Palauan,

Fijian, or a cultural group such as Polynesian, Micronesian, or Melanesian. See figure 1 for other groups

comprising ‘‘Other Pacific Islander.’’

Other Race—Includes all other persons not included in

the ‘‘White,’’ ‘‘Black,’’ ‘‘American Indian, Eskimo, or

Aleut,’’ and the ‘‘Asian or Pacific Islander’’ race categories described above. Persons reporting in the ‘‘Other

race’’ category and providing write-in entries such as

multiracial, multiethnic, mixed, interracial, Wesort, or a

Spanish/ Hispanic origin group (such as Mexican, Cuban,

or Puerto Rican) are included here.

Written entries to three categories on the race item—

‘‘Indian (Amer.),’’ ‘‘Other Asian or Pacific Islander (API),’’

and ‘‘Other race’’—were reviewed, edited, and coded

by subject matter specialists. (For more information on

the coding operation, see the section below that discusses ‘‘Comparability.’’)

If the race entry for a member of a household was

missing on the questionnaire, race was assigned based

upon the reported entries of race by other household

members using specific rules of precedence of household relationship. For example, if race was missing for

the daughter of the householder, then the race of her

mother (as female householder or female spouse) would

be assigned. If there was no female householder or

spouse in the household, the daughter would be assigned

her father’s (male householder) race. If race was not

reported for anyone in the household, the race of a

householder in a previously processed household was

assigned. This procedure is a variation of the general

imputation procedures described in Appendix C, Accuracy of the Data.

Limitation of the Data—In the 1990 census, respondents sometimes did not fill in a circle or filled the

‘‘Other race’’ circle and wrote in a response, such as

Arab, Polish, or African American in the shared write-in

box for ‘‘Other race’’ and ‘‘Other API’’ responses.

During the automated coding process, these responses

were edited and assigned to the appropriate racial

designation. Also, some Hispanic origin persons did not

fill in a circle, but provided entries such as Mexican or

Puerto Rican. These persons were classified in the

‘‘Other race’’ category during the coding and editing

process. Since sample processing included additional

editing, there may be some minor differences between

sample data and 100-percent data.

DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICS B–15

Comparability—Differences between the 1990 census

and earlier censuses affect the comparability of data for

certain racial groups. The 1990 census was the first

census to undertake, on a 100-percent basis, an automated review, edit, and coding operation for written

responses to the race item. The automated coding

system used in the 1990 census greatly reduced the

potential for error associated with a clerical review.

Specialists with a thorough knowledge of the race

subject matter reviewed, edited, coded, and resolved

inconsistent or incomplete responses. In the 1980 census, there was only a limited clerical review of the race

responses on the 100-percent forms with a full clerical

review conducted only on the sample questionnaires.

Another major difference between the 1990 and

preceding censuses is the handling of the write-in

responses for the Asian or Pacific Islander populations.

In addition to the nine Asian or Pacific Islander categories shown on the questionnaire under the spanner

‘‘Asian or Pacific Islander (API),’’ the 1990 census race

item provided a new residual category, ‘‘Other API,’’ for

Asian or Pacific Islander persons who did not report in

one of the listed Asian or Pacific Islander groups. During

the coding operation, write-in responses for ‘‘Other API’’

were reviewed, coded, and assigned to the appropriate

classification. For example, in 1990, a write-in entry of

Laotian, Thai, or Javanese is classified as ‘‘Other Asian,’’

while a write-in entry of Tongan or Fijian is classified as

‘‘Other Pacific Islander.’’

In the 1980 census, the nine Asian or Pacific Islander

groups were also listed separately. However, persons

not belonging to these nine groups wrote in their

specific racial group under the ‘‘Other’’ race category.

Persons with a written entry such as Laotian, Thai, or

Tongan, were tabulated and published as ‘‘Other race’’

in the 100-percent processing operation in 1980, but

were reclassified as ‘‘Other Asian and Pacific Islander’’

in 1980 sample tabulations. In 1980 special reports on

the Asian or Pacific Islander populations, data were

shown separately for ‘‘Other Asian’’ and ‘‘Other Pacific

Islander.’’

Another difference between the 1990 and preceding

censuses is the approach taken when persons of Spanish/ Hispanic origin did not report in a specific race

category but reported as ‘‘Other race’’ or ‘‘Other.’’

These persons commonly provided a write-in entry such

as Mexican, Venezuelan, or Latino. In the 1990 and

1980 censuses, these entries remained in the ‘‘Other

race’’ or ‘‘Other’’ category, respectively. In the 1970

census, most of these persons were included in the

‘‘White’’ category. (For more information on ‘‘Race,’’

see 1990 CP-1, General Population Characteristics.)

REAL ESTATE TAXES

The data on real estate taxes were obtained from

questionnaire item H21, which was asked at owneroccupied one-family houses, condominiums, and mobile

homes. The statistics from this question refer to the

total amount of all real estate taxes on the entire

property (land and buildings) payable in 1989 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 paid on other than 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,

fuels, and mortgages (both first and junior mortgages

and home equity loans) to derive ‘‘Selected Monthly

Owner Costs’’ and ‘‘Selected Monthly Owner Costs as a

Percentage of Household Income in 1989.’’ A separate

 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 17 SESS: 32 OUTPUT: Mon Jul 12 09:36:29 1993 / pssw01/ disk2/ 90dec/ ch2/ usst/ appb

question (H23c) 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.

Comparability—Data for real estate taxes were collected for the first time in 1980. The question was asked

only at owner-occupied one-family houses. Excluded

were mobile homes or trailers, condominiums, houses

with a business or medical office on the property,

houses on 10 or more acres, and housing units in

multi-unit buildings. In 1990, the question was asked of

all one-family owner-occupied houses, including houses

on 10 or more acres. It was also asked at mobile homes,

condominiums, and one-family houses with a business

or medical office on the property.

ROOMS

The data on rooms were obtained from questionnaire

item H3, which was asked at both occupied and vacant

housing units. The statistics on rooms are 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

lodger’s 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.

Median Rooms—This measure divides the room distribution into two equal parts, one-half of the cases falling

below the median number of rooms and one-half above

the median. 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

the discussion under ‘‘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 and means, see the

discussion under ‘‘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. In 1990, these data

are shown for all housing units.

SECOND OR JUNIOR MORTGAGE PAYMENT

The data on second or junior mortgage payments

were obtained from questionnaire items H24a and H24b,

which were asked at owner-occupied one-family houses,

condominiums, and mobile homes. Question H24a asks

whether a second and junior mortgage or a home equity

loan exists on the property. Question H24b provides the

regular monthly amount required to be paid to the lender

on all second or 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 1989’’

for units with a mortgage.

All mortgages other than first mortgages are classified as ‘‘junior’’ mortgages. A second mortgage is a

junior mortgage which gives the lender a claim against

the property which 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 did (as in the above

case with a home equity loan), computer edit assigned

the unit a first mortgage and made the first monthly

mortgage payment the amount reported in the second

mortgage. The second mortgage data were then made

‘‘No’’ in question H24a and blank in question H24b.

Comparability—The 1980 census obtained total regular monthly mortgage payments, including payments on

second or junior mortgages, from one single question.

Two questions were used in 1990; one for regular

monthly payments on first mortgages, and one for

regular monthly payments on second or junior mortgages and home equity loans.

SELECTED MONTHLY OWNER COSTS

The data on selected monthly owner costs were

obtained from questionnaire items H20 through H26 for

owner-occupied one-family houses, condominiums, and

mobile homes. Selected monthly owner costs is 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 or

junior mortgages, and home equity loans); real estate

taxes; fire, hazard, and flood insurance on the property;

utilities (electricity, gas, and water); and fuels (oil, coal,

kerosene, wood, etc.). It also includes, where appropriate, the monthly condominium fee for condominiums

and mobile home costs (personal property taxes, site

rent, registration fees, and license fees) for mobile

homes.

 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 18 SESS: 32 OUTPUT: Mon Jul 12 09:36:29 1993 / pssw01/ disk2/ 90dec/ ch2/ usst/ appb

In certain tabulations, selected monthly owner costs

are presented separately for specified owner-occupied

housing units (owner-occupied one-family houses on

less than 10 acres without a business or medical office

on the property), owner-occupied condominiums, and

owner-occupied mobile homes. Data are usually shown

separately for units ‘‘with a mortgage’’ and for units ‘‘not

mortgaged.’’

Median Selected Monthly Owner Costs—This measure is rounded to the nearest whole dollar.

Comparability—The components of selected monthly

owner costs were collected for the first time in 1980.

The 1990 tabulations of selected monthly owner costs

for specified owner-occupied housing units are virtually

identical to 1980, the primary difference was the amounts

of the first and second mortgages were collected in

separate questions in 1990, while the amounts were

collected in a single question in 1980. The component

parts of the item were tabulated for mobile homes and

condominiums for the first time in 1990.

In 1980, costs for electricity and gas were collected

as average monthly costs. In 1990, all utility and fuel

costs were collected as yearly costs and divided by 12

to provide an average monthly cost.

SELECTED MONTHLY OWNER COSTS AS A

PERCENTAGE OF HOUSEHOLD INCOME IN

1989

The information on selected monthly owner costs as

a percentage of household income in 1989 is the

computed ratio of selected monthly owner costs to

monthly household income in 1989. The ratio was

computed separately for each unit and rounded to the

nearest whole percentage. The data are tabulated

separately for specified owner-occupied units, condominiums, and mobile homes.

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 1989 are included in the ‘‘not computed’’ category. (For more information, see the discussion under

‘‘Selected Monthly Owner Costs.’’)

Comparability—The components of selected monthly

owner costs were collected for the first time in 1980.

The tabulations of ‘‘Selected Monthly Owner Costs as a

Percentage of Household Income in 1989’’ for specified

owner-occupied housing units are comparable to 1980.

SEWAGE DISPOSAL

The data on sewage disposal were obtained from

questionnaire item H16, which was asked at both occupied and vacant housing units. This item was asked on

a sample basis. 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.

SEX

The data on sex were derived from answers to

questionnaire item 3, which was asked of all persons.

For most cases in which sex was not reported, it was

determined by the appropriate entry from the person’s

given name and household relationship. Otherwise, sex

was imputed according to the relationship to the householder and the age and marital status of the person. (For

more information on imputation, see Appendix C, Accuracy of the Data.)

Comparability—A question on the sex of individuals

has been asked of the total population in every census.

SOURCE OF WATER

The data on source of water were obtained from

questionnaire item H15, which was 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 or private company.’’ The

water may be supplied by a city, county, water district,

water company, etc., or it may be obtained from a well

which supplies water to five or more housing units. If the

water is supplied from a well serving four or fewer

housing units, the units are classified as having water

supplied by either an ‘‘Individual drilled well’’ or an

‘‘Individual dug well.’’ Drilled wells or small diameter

wells are usually less than 1-l/ 2 feet in diameter. Dug

wells are usually larger than 1-1/ 2 feet wide and generally hand dug. The category, ‘‘Some other source’’

includes water obtained from springs, creeks, rivers,

lakes, cisterns, etc.

Comparability—Data on source of water have been

collected since 1940. In 1970 and 1980, data were

shown only for year-round housing units.

TELEPHONE IN HOUSING UNIT

The data on telephones were obtained from questionnaire item H12, which was asked at occupied housing units. This item was asked on a sample basis. A

telephone must be inside the house or apartment for the

unit to be classified as having a telephone. Units where

the respondent uses a telephone located inside the

building but not in the respondent’s living quarters are

classified as having no telephone.

Comparability—Data on telephones in 1980 are comparable to 1990. The 1960 and 1970 censuses collected data on telephone availability. A unit was classified as having a telephone available if there was a

telephone number on which occupants of the unit could

be reached. The telephone could have been in another

unit, in a common hall, or outside the building.

TENURE

The data for tenure were obtained from questionnaire

item H4, which was asked at all occupied housing units.

All occupied housing units are classified as either owner

occupied or renter occupied.

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 the person listed in

column 1 of 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.

A housing unit is ‘‘Owned by you or someone in this

household free and clear (without a mortgage)’’ 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. Although owner-occupied units are divided

between mortgaged and owned free and clear on the

questionnaire, census data products containing 100-

percent data show only total owner-occupied counts.

More extensive mortgage information is collected from

the long-form questionnaire and is shown in census

products containing sample data. (For more information, see the discussion under ‘‘ Mortgage Status.’’)

Renter Occupied—All occupied housing units which

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 health services

provider guaranteeing the individual shelter, usually a

house or apartment, and services, such as meals or

transportation to shopping or recreation.

Comparability—Data on tenure have been collected

since 1890. In 1970, the question on tenure also included

a category for condominium and cooperative ownership. In 1980, condominium units and cooperatives

were dropped from the tenure item, and since 1980,

only condominium units are identified in a separate

question.

For 1990, the response categories were expanded to

allow the respondent to report whether the unit was

owned with a mortgage 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.

UNITS IN STRUCTURE

The data on units in structure (also referred to as

‘‘type of structure’’) were obtained from questionnaire

item H2, which was asked at all 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 or 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

one-family house which contains a business is considered detached as long as the building has open space

on all four sides. Mobile homes or trailers to which one

or more permanent rooms have been added or built are

also included.

1-Unit, Attached—This is a 1-unit structure which 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.

 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 20 SESS: 32 OUTPUT: Mon Jul 12 09:36:29 1993 / pssw01/ disk2/ 90dec/ ch2/ usst/ appb

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 or Trailer—Both occupied and vacant

mobile homes to which no permanent rooms have been

added are counted in this category. Mobile homes or

trailers used only for business purposes or for extra

sleeping space and mobile homes or trailers for sale on

a dealer’s lot, at the factory, or in storage are not

counted in the housing inventory.

Other—This category is for any living quarters occupied

as a housing unit that does not fit the previous categories. Examples that fit this category are houseboats,

railroad cars, campers, and vans.

Comparability—Data on units in structure have been

collected since 1940 and on mobile homes and trailers

since 1950. In 1970 and 1980, these data were shown

only for year-round housing units. In 1990, these data

are shown for all housing units. In 1980, the data were

collected on a sample basis. The category, ‘‘Boat, tent,

van, etc.’’ was replaced in 1990 by the category ‘‘Other.’’

In some areas, the proportion of units classified as

‘‘Other’’ is far larger than the number of units that were

classified as ‘‘Boat, tent, van, etc.’’ in 1980.

USUAL HOME ELSEWHERE

The data for usual home elsewhere are obtained

from questionnaire item B, which was completed by

census employees. A housing unit temporarily occupied

at the time of enumeration entirely by persons with a

usual residence elsewhere is classified as vacant. The

occupants are classified as having a ‘‘Usual home

elsewhere’’ and are counted at the address of their

usual place of residence. Typical examples are people

in a vacation home, persons renting living quarters

temporarily for work, and migrant workers.

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 was

tabulated for the first time in 1980.

UTILITIES

The data on utility costs were obtained from questionnaire items H20a through H20d, which were asked

of occupied housing units. These items were asked on

a sample basis.

Questions H20a through H20d asked for the yearly

cost of utilities (electricity, gas, water) and other fuels

(oil, wood, kerosene, etc.). For the tabulations, these

yearly amounts are divided by 12 to derive the average

monthly cost and are then included in the computation

of ‘‘Gross Rent,’’ ‘‘Gross Rent as a Percentage of

Household Income in 1989,’’ ‘‘Selected Monthly Owner

Costs,’’ and ‘‘Selected Monthly Owner Costs as a

Percentage of Household Income in 1989.’’

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 to utility company

records. There is some evidence that this overstatement is reduced when yearly costs are asked rather

than monthly costs. Caution should be exercised in

using these data for direct analysis because costs are

not reported for certain kinds of units such as renteroccupied units with all utilities included in the rent and

owner-occupied condominium units with utilities included

in the condominium fee.

Comparability—The data on utility costs have been

collected since 1980 for owner-occupied housing units,

and since 1940 for renter-occupied housing units. In

1980, costs for electricity and gas were collected as

average monthly costs. In 1990, all utility and fuel costs

were collected as yearly costs and divided by 12 to

provide an average monthly cost.

VACANCY STATUS

The data on vacancy status were obtained from

questionnaire item C1, which was completed by census

enumerators. Vacancy status and other characteristics

of vacant units were determined by 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 being offered

‘‘for sale only,’’ including units in cooperatives and

condominium projects if the individual units are offered

‘‘for sale only.’’

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.’’

B–20 DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICS
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 21 SESS: 32 OUTPUT: Mon Jul 12 09:36:29 1993 / pssw01/ disk2/ 90dec/ ch2/ usst/ appb

For Seasonal, Recreational, or Occasional Use—These

are vacant units used or intended for use only in certain

seasons or for weekend 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 may also include quarters for such workers as herders and loggers. Interval

ownership units, sometimes called shared ownership or

time-sharing condominiums, also are included here.

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 classifications 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.

Homeowner Vacancy Rate—This is the percentage

relationship between the number of vacant units for sale

and the total homeowner inventory. It is computed by

dividing the number of vacant units for sale only by the

sum of the owner-occupied units and the number of

vacant units that are for sale only.

Rental Vacancy Rate—This is the percentage relationship of the number of vacant units for rent to the total

rental inventory. It is computed by dividing the number

of vacant units for rent by the sum of the renteroccupied units and the number of vacant units for rent.

Comparability—Data on vacancy status have been

collected since 1940. For 1990, the category, ‘‘seasonal/ recreational/ occasional use’’ combined vacant units

classified in 1980 as ‘‘seasonal or migratory’’ and ‘‘held

for occasional use.’’ Also, in 1970 and 1980, housing

characteristics were generally presented only for yearround units. In 1990, 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 questionnaire item

H6, which was asked at housing units that were owned,

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 is owned or being bought, but the

land on which it sits is not, the respondent was asked to

estimate the combined value of the house or mobile

home and the land. For vacant units, value is the price

asked for the property.

Value is tabulated separately for all owner-occupied

and vacant-for-sale housing units, owner-occupied and

vacant-for-sale mobile homes or trailers, and specified

owner-occupied and specified vacant-for-sale housing

units. Specified owner-occupied and specified vacantfor-sale housing units include only one-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

multi-unit buildings.

Median and Quartile Value—The median divides the

value distribution into two equal parts. Quartiles divide

the value distribution into four equal parts. These measures are rounded to the nearest hundred dollars. (For

more information on medians and quartiles, see the

discussion under ‘‘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 ‘‘$500,000

or more’’ is $600,000. Mean value is rounded to the

nearest hundred dollars. (For more information on

aggregates and means, see the discussion under ‘‘Derived

Measures.’’)

Comparability—In 1980, value was asked only at owneroccupied or vacant-for-sale one-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-sale-only housing

units, and owner-occupied condominium housing units.

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 will include onefamily condominium houses but not condominiums in

multi-unit structures since condominium units are now

identified only in long-form questionnaires.

For 1990, quartiles have been added because the

range of values and rents in the United States has

increased in recent years. Upper and lower quartiles

can be used to note large value and rent differences

among various geographic areas.

VEHICLES AVAILABLE

The data on vehicles available were obtained from

questionnaire item H13, which was asked at occupied

housing units. This item was asked on a sample basis.

These data show the number of households with a

specified number of passenger cars, vans, pickup or

panel trucks of one-ton capacity or less kept at home

and available for the use of household members. Vehicles rented or leased for one month or more, company

vehicles, and police and government vehicles are included

DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICS B–21
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 22 SESS: 35 OUTPUT: Mon Jul 12 09:36:29 1993 / pssw01/ disk2/ 90dec/ ch2/ usst/ appb

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 are

also excluded.

Vehicles Per Household—This is computed by dividing aggregate vehicles available by the number of

occupied housing units.

Limitation of the Data—The 1980 census evaluations

showed that the number of automobiles was slightly

overreported; the number of vans and trucks slightly

underreported. 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 from 1960 to 1980. In 1980, a separate

question was also 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 data are comparable to the 1980 vehicles available tabulations.

YEAR HOUSEHOLDER MOVED INTO UNIT

The data on year householder moved into unit were

obtained from questionnaire item H8, which was asked

at occupied housing units. This item was asked on a

sample basis. These data refer to the year of the latest

move by the householder. If a householder moved back

into a housing unit he or she previously 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, although in the great majority of cases an

entire household moves at the same time.

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

household head moved in. In 1980 and 1990, the

question was asked only of the householder.

YEAR STRUCTURE BUILT

The data on year structure built were obtained from

questionnaire item H17, which was asked at both occupied and vacant housing units. This item was asked on

a sample basis. Data on year structure built refer to

when the building was first constructed, not when it was

remodeled, added to, or converted. For housing units

under construction which met the housing unit definition; that is, all exterior windows, doors, and final usable

floors were in place, the category ‘‘1989 or March

1990’’ was used. For a houseboat or mobile home or

trailer, the manufacturer’s model year was assumed to

be the year built. The figures shown in census data

products relate to the number of units built during the

specified periods and are still in existence at the time of

enumeration.

Median Year Structure Built—The median divides the

distribution into two equal parts. The median is rounded

to the nearest calendar year. Median age of housing

can be obtained by subtracting median year structure

built from 1990. For example, if the median year structure built is 1957, the median age of housing in that area

is 33 years (1990 minus 1957).

Limitation of the Data—Data on year structure built

are more susceptible to errors of response and nonreporting than data on many other items since respondents must rely on their memory or on estimates of

persons who have lived in the neighborhood a long

time. Available evidence indicates there is underreporting in the older year structure built categories, especially

‘‘Built in 1939 or earlier.’’ The introduction of the ‘‘Don’t

know’’ category (see below the discussion on ‘‘Comparability’’) may result in relatively higher allocation rates.

Data users should refer to the discussion in Appendix C,

Accuracy of the Data and to the allocation tables.

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

1990, the category, ‘‘Don’t Know’’ was added in an

effort to minimize the response error mentioned in the

paragraph above on limitation of the data.

DERIVED MEASURES

Census data products include various derived measures such as medians, means, and percentages, as

well as certain rates and ratios. Derived measures which

round to less than 0.1 are not shown but indicated as

zero. In printed reports, zero is indicated by showing a

dash (–).

Interpolation

Interpolation is frequently 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. It is used by the Census Bureau in

calculating median income within intervals wider than

$2,500. In Pareto interpolation, the logarithm of the

median is derived by interpolating between the logarithms of the upper and lower income limits of the

median category.

Mean

This measure represents an arithmetic average of a

set of values. It is derived by dividing the sum of a group

of numerical items (or aggregate) by the total number of

B–22 DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICS
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 23 SESS: 32 OUTPUT: Mon Jul 12 09:36:29 1993 / pssw01/ disk2/ 90dec/ ch2/ usst/ appb

items. Aggregates are used in computing mean values.

For example, mean family income is obtained by dividing the aggregate of all income reported by persons in

families by the total number of families. (Additional

information on means and aggregates is included in the

separate explanations of many population and housing

subjects.)

Median

This measure represents the middle value in a distribution. The median divides the total frequency into two

equal parts: one-half of the cases fall below the median

and one-half of the cases exceed the median. The

median is computed on the basis of the distribution as

tabulated, which is sometimes more detailed than the

distribution shown in specific census publications and

other data products.

In reports, if the median falls within the upper interval

of an open-ended distribution, the median is shown as

the initial value of the interval followed by a plus sign (+ ),

or if within the lower interval, the median is shown as the

upper value of the category followed by a minus sign (–).

For summary tape files, if the median falls within the

upper or lower interval, it is set to a specified value.

(Additional information on medians is included in the

separate explanations of many population and housing

subjects.)

Percentages, Rates, and Ratios

These measures are frequently presented in census

products and are used to compare two numbers or two

sets of measurements. These comparisons are made in

two ways: (1) subtraction which provides an absolute

measure of the difference between two items and (2)

the quotient of two numbers which provides a relative

measure of difference.

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) defines the lower limit of the

upper one-quarter of the cases in the distribution. The

difference between the upper and lower quartiles is

called the interquartile range. This interquartile range is

less affected by wide variations than is the mean.

Quartiles are presented for certain financial characteristics such as housing value and rent.

INTRODUCTION

The data contained in this data product are based on

the 1990 census sample. The data are estimates of the

actual figures that would have been obtained from a

complete count. Estimates derived from a sample are

expected to be different from the 100-percent figures

because they are subject to sampling and nonsampling

errors. Sampling error in data arises from the selection of

persons and housing units to be included in the sample.

Nonsampling error affects both sample and 100-percent

data, and is introduced as a result of errors that may occur

during the collection and processing phases of the census.

Provided below is a detailed discussion of both types of

errors and a description of the estimation procedures.

SAMPLE DESIGN

Every person and housing unit in the United States was

asked certain basic demographic and housing questions

(for example, race, age, marital status, housing value, or

rent). A sample of these persons and housing units was

asked more detailed questions about such items as income,

occupation, and housing costs in addition to the basic

demographic and housing information. The primary sampling unit for the 1990 census was the housing unit,

including all occupants. For persons living in group quarters, the sampling unit was the person. Persons in group

quarters were sampled at a 1-in-6 rate.

The sample designation method depended on the data

collection procedures. Approximately 95 percent of the

population was enumerated by the mailback procedure. In

these areas, the Bureau of the Census either purchased a

commercial mailing list, which was updated by the United

States Postal Service and Census Bureau field staff, or

prepared a mailing list by canvassing and listing each

address in the area prior to Census Day. These lists were

computerized and the appropriate units were electronically

designated as sample units. The questionnaires were

either mailed or hand-delivered to the addresses with

instructions to complete and mail back the form.

Housing units in governmental units with a precensus

(1988) estimated population of fewer than 2,500 persons

were sampled at 1-in-2. Governmental units were defined

for sampling purposes as all incorporated places, all

counties, all county equivalents such as parishes in Louisiana, and all minor civil divisions in Connecticut, Maine,

Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire,

New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin. Housing units in census tracts and

block numbering areas (BNA’s) with a precensus housing

unit count below 2,000 housing units were sampled at

1-in-6 for those portions not in small governmental units

(governmental units with a population less than 2,500).

Housing units within census tracts and BNA’s with 2,000 or

more housing units were sampled at 1-in-8 for those

portions not in small governmental units.

In list/ enumerate areas (about 5 percent of the population), each enumerator was given a blank address register

with designated sample lines. Beginning about Census

Day, the enumerator systematically canvassed an assigned

area and listed all housing units in the address register in

the order they were encountered. Completed questionnaires, including sample information for any housing unit

listed on a designated sample line, were collected. For all

governmental units with fewer than 2,500 persons in

list/ enumerate areas, a 1-in-2 sampling rate was used. All

other list/ enumerate areas were sampled at 1-in-6.

Housing units in American Indian reservations, tribal

jurisdiction statistical areas, and Alaska Native villages

were sampled according to the same criteria as other

governmental units, except the sampling rates were based

on the size of the American Indian and Alaska Native

population in those areas as measured in the 1980 census.

Trust lands were sampled at the same rate as their

associated American Indian reservations. Census designated places in Hawaii were sampled at the same rate as

governmental units because the Census Bureau does not

recognize incorporated places in Hawaii.

The purpose of using variable sampling rates was to

provide relatively more reliable estimates for small areas

and decrease respondent burden in more densely populated areas while maintaining data reliability. When all

sampling rates were taken into account across the Nation,

approximately one out of every six housing units in the

Nation was included in the 1990 census sample.

CONFIDENTIALITY OF THE DATA

To maintain the confidentiality required by law (Title 13,

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

confidentiality edit to the 1990 census data to assure that

ACCURACY OF THE DATA C–1
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 2 SESS: 85 OUTPUT: Wed Apr 14 13:41:57 1993 / pssw01/ disk2/ 90dec/ sample/ usst/ appc

published data do not disclose information about specific

individuals, households, or housing units. As a result, a

small amount of uncertainty is introduced into the estimates of census characteristics. The sample itself provides adequate protection for most areas for which sample

data are published since the resulting data are estimates of

the actual counts; however, small areas require more

protection. The edit is controlled so that the basic structure

of the data is preserved.

The confidentiality edit is implemented by selecting a

small subset of individual households from the internal

sample data files and blanking a subset of the data items

on these household records. Responses to those data

items were then imputed using the same imputation procedures that were used for nonresponse. A larger subset

of households is selected for the confidentiality edit for

small areas to provide greater protection for these areas.

The editing process is implemented in such a way that the

quality and usefulness of the data were preserved.

ERRORS IN THE DATA

Since statistics in this data product are based on a

sample, they may differ somewhat from 100-percent figures that would have been obtained if all housing units,

persons within those housing units, and persons living in

group quarters had been enumerated using the same

questionnaires, instructions, enumerators, etc. The sample

estimate also would differ from other samples of housing

units, persons within those housing units, and persons

living in group quarters. The deviation of a sample estimate

from the average of all possible samples is called the

sampling error. The standard error of a sample estimate is

a measure of the variation among the estimates from all

the possible samples and thus is a measure of the

precision with which an estimate from a particular sample

approximates the average result of all possible samples.

The sample estimate and its estimated standard error

permit the construction of interval estimates with prescribed confidence that the interval includes the average

result of all possible samples. Described below is the

method of calculating standard errors and confidence

intervals for the data in this product.

In addition to the variability which arises from the

sampling procedures, both sample data and 100-percent

data are subject to nonsampling error. Nonsampling error

may be introduced during any of the various complex

operations used to collect and process census data. For

example, operations such as editing, reviewing, or handling questionnaires may introduce error into the data. A

detailed discussion of the sources of nonsampling error is

given in the section on ‘‘Control of Nonsampling Error’’ in

this appendix.

Nonsampling error may affect the data in two ways.

Errors that are introduced randomly will increase the

variability of the data and should therefore be reflected in

the standard error. Errors that tend to be consistent in one

direction will make both sample and 100-percent data

biased in that direction. For example, if respondents

consistently tend to under-report their income, then the

resulting counts of households or families by income

category will tend to be understated for the higher income

categories and overstated for the lower income categories.

Such biases are not reflected in the standard error.

Calculation of Standard Errors

Totals and Percentages—Tables A through C in this

appendix contain the information necessary to calculate

the standard errors of sample estimates in this data

product. To calculate the standard error, it is necessary to

know the basic standard error for the characteristic (given

in table A or B) that would result under a simple random

sample design (of persons, households, or housing units)

and estimation technique; the design factor for the particular characteristic estimated (given in table C); and the

number of persons or housing units in the tabulation area

and the percent of these in the sample. For machinereadable products, the percent-in-sample is included in a

data matrix on the file for each tabulation area. In printed

reports, the percent-in-sample is provided in data tables at

the end of the statistical tables that compose the report.

The design factors reflect the effects of the actual sample

design and complex ratio estimation procedure used for

the 1990 census.

The steps given below should be used to calculate the

standard error of an estimate of a total or a percentage

contained in this product. A percentage is defined here as

a ratio of a numerator to a denominator where the numerator is a subset of the denominator. For example, the

proportion of Black teachers is the ratio of Black teachers

to all teachers.

1. Obtain the standard error from table A or B (or use

the formula given below the table) for the estimated

total or percentage, respectively.

2. Find the geographic area to which the estimate

applies in the appropriate percent-in-sample table

or appropriate matrix, and obtain the person or

housing unit ‘‘percent-in-sample’’ figure for this

area. Use the person ‘‘percent-in-sample’’ figure for

person and family characteristics. Use the housing

unit ‘‘percent-in-sample’’ figure for housing unit

characteristics.

3. Use table C to obtain the design factor for the

characteristic (for example, employment status, school

enrollment) and the range that contains the percentin-sample with which you are working. Multiply the

basic standard error by this factor.

The unadjusted standard errors of zero estimates or of

very small estimated totals or percentages will approach

zero. This is also the case for very large percentages or

estimated totals that are close to the size of the tabulation

areas to which they correspond. Nevertheless, these estimated totals and percentages still are subject to sampling

and nonsampling variability, and an estimated standard

error of zero (or a very small standard error) is not

appropriate. For estimated percentages that are less than

2 or greater than 98, use the basic standard errors in table

B that appear in the ‘‘2 or 98’’ row. For an estimated total

that is less than 50 or within 50 of the total size of the

tabulation area, use a basic standard error of 16.

An illustration of the use of the tables is given in the

section entitled ‘‘Use of Tables to Compute Standard

Errors.’’

Sums and Differences—The standard errors estimated

from these tables are not directly applicable to sums of and

differences between two sample estimates. To estimate

the standard error of a sum or difference, the tables are to

be used somewhat differently in the following three situations:

1. For the sum of or difference between a sample

estimate and a 100-percent value, use the standard

error of the sample estimate. The complete count

value is not subject to sampling error.

2. For the sum of or difference between two sample

estimates, the appropriate standard error is approximately the square root of the sum of the two

individual standard errors squared; that is, for standard errors:

This method, however, will underestimate (overestimate) the standard error if the two items in a

sum are highly positively (negatively) correlated or if

the two items in a difference are highly negatively

(positively) correlated. This method may also be

used for the difference between (or sum of) sample

estimates from two censuses or from a census

sample and another survey. The standard error for

estimates not based on the 1990 census sample

must be obtained from an appropriate source outside of this appendix.

3. For the differences between two estimates, one of

which is a subclass of the other, use the tables

directly where the calculated difference is the estimate of interest. For example, to determine the

estimate of non-Black teachers, one may subtract

the estimate of Black teachers from the estimate of

total teachers. To determine the standard error of

the estimate of non-Black teachers apply the above

formula directly.

Ratios—Frequently, the statistic of interest is the ratio of

two variables, where the numerator is not a subset of the

denominator. For example, the ratio of teachers to students in public elementary schools. The standard error of

the ratio between two sample estimates is estimated as

follows:

1. If the ratio is a proportion, then follow the procedure

outlined for ‘‘Totals and Percentages.’’

2. If the ratio is not a proportion, then approximate the

standard error using the formula below.

$ Yˆ$ = X

Medians—For the standard error of the median of a

characteristic, it is necessary to examine the distribution

from which the median is derived, as the size of the base

and the distribution itself affect the standard error. An

approximate method is given here. As the first step,

compute one-half of the number on which the median is

based (refer to this result as N/ 2). Treat N/ 2 as if it were

an ordinary estimate and obtain its standard error as

instructed above. Compute the desired confidence interval

about N/ 2. Starting with the lowest value of the characteristic, cumulate the frequencies in each category of the

characteristic until the sum equals or first exceeds the

lower limit of the confidence interval about N/ 2. By linear

interpolation, obtain a value of the characteristic corresponding to this sum. This is the lower limit of the

confidence interval of the median. In a similar manner,

continue cumulating frequencies until the sum equals or

exceeds the count in excess of the upper limit of the

interval about N/ 2. Interpolate as before to obtain the

upper limit of the confidence interval for the estimated

median.

When interpolation is required in the upper open-ended

interval of a distribution to obtain a confidence bound, use

1.5 times the lower limit of the open-ended confidence

interval as the upper limit of the open-ended interval.

Confidence Intervals

A sample estimate and its estimated standard error may

be used to construct confidence intervals about the estimate. These intervals are ranges that will contain the

average value of the estimated characteristic that results

over all possible samples, with a known probability. For

example, if all possible samples that could result under the

1990 census sample design were independently selected

and surveyed under the same conditions, and if the

estimate and its estimated standard error were calculated

for each of these samples, then:

1. Approximately 68 percent of the intervals from one

estimated standard error below the estimate to one

estimated standard error above the estimate would

contain the average result from all possible samples;

ACCURACY OF THE DATA C–3
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 4 SESS: 85 OUTPUT: Wed Apr 14 13:41:57 1993 / pssw01/ disk2/ 90dec/ sample/ usst/ appc

2. Approximately 90 percent of the intervals from

1.645 times the estimated standard error below the

estimate to 1.645 times the estimated standard

error above the estimate would contain the average

result from all possible samples.

3. Approximately 95 percent of the intervals from two

estimated standard errors below the estimate to

two estimated standard errors above the estimate

would contain the average result from all possible

samples.

The intervals are referred to as 68 percent, 90 percent,

and 95 percent confidence intervals, respectively.

The average value of the estimated characteristic that

could be derived from all possible samples is or is not

contained in any particular computed interval. Thus, we

cannot make the statement that the average value has a

certain probability of falling between the limits of the

calculated confidence interval. Rather, one can say with a

specified probability of confidence that the calculated

confidence interval includes the average estimate from all

possible samples (approximately the 100-percent value).

Confidence intervals also may be constructed for the

ratio, sum of, or difference between two sample figures.

This is done by first computing the ratio, sum, or difference,

then obtaining the standard error of the ratio, sum, or

difference (using the formulas given earlier), and finally

forming a confidence interval for this estimated ratio, sum,

or difference as above. One can then say with specified

confidence that this interval includes the ratio, sum, or

difference that would have been obtained by averaging the

results from all possible samples.

The estimated standard errors given in this appendix do

not include all portions of the variability due to nonsampling error that may be present in the data. The standard

errors reflect the effect of simple response variance, but

not the effect of correlated errors introduced by enumerators, coders, or other field or processing personnel. Thus,

the standard errors calculated represent a lower bound of

the total error. As a result, confidence intervals formed

using these estimated standard errors may not meet the

stated levels of confidence (i.e., 68, 90, or 95 percent).

Thus, some care must be exercised in the interpretation of

the data in this data product based on the estimated

standard errors.

A standard sampling theory text should be helpful if the

user needs more information about confidence intervals

and nonsampling errors.

Use of Tables to Compute Standard Errors

The following is a hypothetical example of how to

compute a standard error of a total and a percentage.

Suppose a particular data table shows that for City A 9,948

persons out of all 15,888 persons age 16 years and over

were in the civilian labor force. The percent-in-sample

table lists City A with a percent-in-sample of 16.0 percent

(Persons column). The column in table C which includes

16.0 percent-in-sample shows the design factor to be 1.1

for ‘‘Employment status.’’

The basic standard error for the estimated total 9,948

may be obtained from table A or from the formula given

below table A. In order to avoid interpolation, the use of the

formula will be demonstrated here. Suppose that the total

population of City A was 21,220. The formula for the basic

standard error, SE, is

SE$9,948$ = √5$9,948$ $1$9,948$21,220$

= 163 persons.

The standard error of the estimated 9,948 persons 16

years and over who were in the civilian labor force is found

by multiplying the basic standard error 163 by the design

factor, 1.1 from table C. This yields an estimated standard

error of 179 for the total number of persons 16 years and

over in City A who were in the civilian labor force.

The estimated percent of persons 16 years and over

who were in the civilian labor force in City A is 62.6. From

table B, the unadjusted standard error is found to be

approximately 0.85 percentage points. The standard error

for the estimated 62.6 percent of persons 16 years and

over who were in the civilian labor force is 0.85 x 1.1 =

0.94 percentage points.

A note of caution concerning numerical values is necessary. Standard errors of percentages derived in this

manner are approximate. Calculations can be expressed

to several decimal places, but to do so would indicate more

precision in the data than is justifiable. Final results should

contain no more than two decimal places when the

estimated standard error is one percentage point (i.e.,

1.00) or more.

In the previous example, the standard error of the 9,948

persons 16 years and over in City A who were in the civilian

labor force was found to be 179. Thus, a 90 percent

confidence interval for this estimated total is found to be:

$9,948 $ 1.645$179$$ to $9,948 $ 1.645$179$$

or

9,654 to 10,242

One can say, with about 90 percent confidence, that this

interval includes the value that would have been obtained

by averaging the results from all possible samples.

The following is an illustration of the calculation of

standard errors and confidence intervals when a difference between two sample estimates is obtained. For

example, suppose the number of persons in City B age 16

years and over who were in the civilian labor force was

9,314 and the total number of persons 16 years and over

was 16,666. Further suppose the population of City B was

25,225. Thus, the estimated percentage of persons 16

years and over who were in the civilian labor force is 55.9

percent. The unadjusted standard error determined using

the formula provided at the bottom of table B is 0.86

C–4 ACCURACY OF THE DATA
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 5 SESS: 85 OUTPUT: Wed Apr 14 13:41:57 1993 / pssw01/ disk2/ 90dec/ sample/ usst/ appc

percentage points. We find that City B had a percent-insample of 15.7. The range which includes 15.7 percent-insample in table C shows the design factor to be 1.1 for

‘‘Employment Status.’’ Thus, the approximate standard

error of the percentage (55.9 percent) is 0.86 x 1.1 = 0.95

percentage points.

Now suppose that one wished to obtain the standard

error of the difference between City A and City B of the

percentages of persons who were 16 years and over and

who were in the civilian labor force. The difference in the

percentages of interest for the two cities is:

62.6 - 55.9 = 6.7 percent.

Using the results of the previous example:

SE$6.7$ = √$SE$62.6$$2$$SE$55.9$$2= √$0.94$2$$0.95$2

= 1.34 percentage points

The 90 percent confidence interval for the difference is

formed as before:

$6.70 $ 1.645$1.34$$ to $6.70 $ 1.645$1.34$$

or

4.50 to 8.90

One can say with 90 percent confidence that the

interval includes the difference that would have been

obtained by averaging the results from all possible samples.

For reasonably large samples, ratio estimates are normally distributed, particularly for the census population.

Therefore, if we can calculate the standard error of a ratio

estimate then we can form a confidence interval around

the ratio. Suppose that one wished to obtain the standard

error of the ratio of the estimate of persons who were 16

years and over and who were in the civilian labor force in

City A to the estimate of persons who were 16 years and

over and who were in the civilian labor force in City B. The

ratio of the two estimates of interest is:

9948/ 9314 = 1.07

SE $1.07$ = $

9948

9314$ $ 1792

$9948$2 $

1882

$9314$2

= .029

Using the results above, the 90 percent confidence

interval for this ratio would be:

$1.07$1.645$.029$$ to $1.07$1.645$.029$$

or

1.02 to 1.12

ESTIMATION PROCEDURE

The estimates which appear in this publication were

obtained from an iterative ratio estimation procedure (iterative proportional fitting) resulting in the assignment of a

weight to each sample person or housing unit record. For

any given tabulation area, a characteristic total was estimated by summing the weights assigned to the persons or

housing units possessing the characteristic in the tabulation area. Estimates of family or household characteristics

were based on the weight assigned to the family member

designated as householder. Each sample person or housing unit record was assigned exactly one weight to be used

to produce estimates of all characteristics. For example, if

the weight given to a sample person or housing unit had

the value 6, all characteristics of that person or housing

unit would be tabulated with the weight of 6. The estimation procedure, however, did assign weights varying from

person to person or housing unit to housing unit. The

estimation procedure used to assign the weights was

performed in geographically defined ‘‘weighting areas.’’

Weighting areas generally were formed of contiguous

geographic units which agreed closely with census tabulation areas within counties. Weighting areas were required

to have a minimum sample of 400 persons. Weighting

areas never crossed State or county boundaries. In small

counties with a sample count below 400 persons, the

minimum required sample condition was relaxed to permit

the entire county to become a weighting area.

Within a weighting area, the ratio estimation procedure

for persons was performed in four stages. For persons, the

first stage applied 17 household-type groups. The second

stage used two groups: sampling rate of 1-in-2; sampling

rate less than 1-in-2. The third stage used the dichotomy

householders/ nonhouseholders. The fourth stage applied

180 aggregate age-sex-race-Hispanic origin categories.

The stages were as follows:

Within a weighting area, the first step in the estimation

procedure was to assign an initial weight to each sample

person record. This weight was approximately equal to the

inverse of the probability of selecting a person for the

census sample.

The next step in the estimation procedure, prior to

iterative proportional fitting, was to combine categories in

each of the four estimation stages, when needed to

increase the reliability of the ratio estimation procedure.

For each stage, any group that did not meet certain criteria

for the unweighted sample count or for the ratio of the

100-percent to the initially weighted sample count, was

combined, or collapsed, with another group in the same

stage according to a specified collapsing pattern. At the

fourth stage, an additional criterion concerning the number

of complete count persons in each race/ Hispanic origin

category was applied.

As the final step, the initial weights underwent four

stages of ratio adjustment applying the grouping procedures described above. At the first stage, the ratio of the

complete census count to the sum of the initial weights for

each sample person was computed for each stage I group.

The initial weight assigned to each person in a group was

then multiplied by the stage I group ratio to produce an

adjusted weight.

In stage II, the stage I adjusted weights were again

adjusted by the ratio of the complete census count to the

sum of the stage I weights for sample persons in each

stage II group. Next, at stage III, the stage II weights were

adjusted by the ratio of the complete census count to the

sum of the stage II weights for sample persons in each

stage III group. Finally, at stage IV, the stage III weights

were adjusted by the ratio of the complete census count to

the sum of the stage III weights for sample persons in each

stage IV group. The four stages of ratio adjustment were

performed two times (two iterations) in the order given

above. The weights obtained from the second iteration for

stage IV were assigned to the sample person records.

However, to avoid complications in rounding for tabulated

data, only whole number weights were assigned. For

example, if the final weight of the persons in a particular

group was 7.25 then 1/ 4 of the sample persons in this

group were randomly assigned a weight of 8, while the

remaining 3/ 4 received a weight of 7.

The ratio estimation procedure for housing units was

essentially the same as that for persons, except that

vacant units were treated differently. The occupied housing unit ratio estimation procedure was done in four stages,

and the vacant housing unit ratio estimation procedure was

done in a single stage. The first stage for occupied housing

units applied 16 household type categories, while the

second stage used the two sampling categories described

above for persons. The third stage applied three units-instructure categories; i.e. single units, multi-unit less than 10

and multi-unit 10 or more. The fourth stage could potentially use 200 tenure-race-Hispanic origin-value/ rent groups.

The stages for ratio estimation for housing units were as

follows:

The estimates produced by this procedure realize some

of the gains in sampling efficiency that would have resulted

if the population had been stratified into the ratio estimation groups before sampling, and if the sampling rate had

been applied independently to each group. The net effect

is a reduction in both the standard error and the possible

bias of most estimated characteristics to levels below what

would have resulted from simply using the initial, unadjusted weight. A by-product of this estimation procedure is

that the estimates from the sample will, for the most part,

be consistent with the complete count figures for the

population and housing unit groups used in the estimation

procedure.

Control of Nonsampling Error

As mentioned earlier, both sample and 100-percent

data are subject to nonsampling error. This component of

error could introduce serious bias into the data, and the

total error could increase dramatically over that which

would result purely from sampling. While it is impossible to

completely eliminate nonsampling error from an operation

as large and complex as the decennial census, the Bureau

of the Census attempted to control the sources of such

error during the collection and processing operations.

Described below are the primary sources of nonsampling

error and the programs instituted for control of this error.

The success of these programs, however, was contingent

upon how well the instructions actually were carried out

during the census. As part of the 1990 census evaluation

program, both the effects of these programs and the

amount of error remaining after their application will be

evaluated.

Undercoverage—It is possible for some households or

persons to be missed entirely by the census. The undercoverage of persons and housing units can introduce

biases into the data.

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

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

programs were developed based on experience from the

1980 census and results from the 1990 census testing

cycle. In developing and updating the census address list,

the Census Bureau used a variety of specialized procedures in different parts of the country.

• In the large urban areas, the Census Bureau purchased

and geocoded address lists. Concurrent with geocoding,

the United States Postal Service (USPS) reviewed and

updated this list. After the postal check, census enumerators conducted a dependent canvass and update operation. In the fall of 1989, local officials were given the

opportunity to examine block counts of address listings

(local review) and identify possible errors. Prior to mailout, the USPS conducted a final review.

• In small cities, suburban areas, and selected rural parts

of the country, the Census Bureau created the address

list through a listing operation. The USPS reviewed and

updated this list, and the Census Bureau reconciled

USPS corrections and updated through a field operation.

In the fall of 1989, local officials participated in reviewing

block counts of address listings. Prior to mailout, the

USPS conducted a final review.

• The Census Bureau (rather than the USPS) conducted a

listing operation in the fall of 1989 and delivered census

questionnaires in selected rural and seasonal housing

areas in March of 1990. In some inner-city public housing developments, whose addresses had been obtained

via the purchased address list noted above, census

questionnaires were also delivered by Census Bureau

enumerators.

Coverage improvement programs continued during and

after mailout. A recheck of units initially classified as

vacant or nonexistent improved further the coverage of

persons and housing units. All local officials were given the

opportunity to participate in a post-census local review,

and census enumerators conducted an additional recanvass. In addition, efforts were made to improve the coverage of unique population groups, such as the homeless

and parolees/ probationers. Computer and clerical edits

and telephone and personal visit followup also contributed

to improved coverage.

More extensive discussion of the programs implemented

to improve coverage will be published by the Census

Bureau when the evaluation of the coverage improvement

program is completed.

Respondent and Enumerator Error—The person answering the questionnaire or responding to the questions posed

by an enumerator could serve as a source of error,

although the questions were phrased as clearly as possible based on precensus tests, and detailed instructions for

completing the questionnaire were provided to each household. In addition, respondents’ answers were edited for

completeness and consistency, and problems were followed up as necessary.

The enumerator may misinterpret or otherwise incorrectly record information given by a respondent; may fail to

collect some of the information for a person or household;

or may collect data for households that were not designated as part of the sample. To control these problems,

the work of enumerators was monitored carefully. Field

staff were prepared for their tasks by using standardized

training packages that included hands-on experience in

using census materials. A sample of the households

interviewed by enumerators for nonresponse were reinterviewed to control for the possibility of data for fabricated

persons being submitted by enumerators. Also, the estimation procedure was designed to control for biases that

would result from the collection of data from households

not designated for the sample.

Processing Error—The many phases involved in processing the census data represent potential sources for the

introduction of nonsampling error. The processing of the

census questionnaires includes the field editing, followup,

and transmittal of completed questionnaires; the manual

coding of write-in responses; and the electronic data

processing. The various field, coding and computer operations undergo a number of quality control checks to

insure their accurate application.

Nonresponse—Nonresponse to particular questions on

the census questionnaire allows for the introduction of bias

into the data, since the characteristics of the nonrespondents have not been observed and may differ from those

reported by respondents. As a result, any imputation

procedure using respondent data may not completely

reflect this difference either at the elemental level (individual person or housing unit) or on the average. Some

protection against the introduction of large biases is afforded

by minimizing nonresponse. In the census, nonresponse

was reduced substantially during the field operations by

the various edit and followup operations aimed at obtaining

a response for every question. Characteristics for the

nonresponses remaining after this operation were imputed

by the computer by using reported data for a person or

housing unit with similar characteristics.

EDITING OF UNACCEPTABLE DATA

The objective of the processing operation is to produce

a set of data that describes the population as accurately

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

for consistency, completeness, and acceptability. Questionnaires also were reviewed by census clerks for omissions, certain specific inconsistencies, and population coverage. For example, write-in entries such as ‘‘Don’t know’’

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

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

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

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

followup was made to obtain missing information. Potential

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

sample of questionnaires with omissions and/ or inconsistencies.

Subsequent to field operations, remaining incomplete or

inconsistent information on the questionnaires was assigned

using imputation procedures during the final automated

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

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

a given item is lacking or when the information reported for

a person or housing unit on that item is inconsistent with

other information for that same person or housing unit. As

in previous censuses, the general procedure for changing

unacceptable entries was to assign an entry for a person

or housing unit that was consistent with entries for persons

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

Another way in which corrections were made during the

computer editing process was through substitution; that is,

the assignment of a full set of characteristics for a person

or housing unit. When there was an indication that a

housing unit was occupied but the questionnaire contained

no information for the people within the household or the

occupants were not listed on the questionnaire, a previously accepted household was selected as a substitute,

and the full set of characteristics for the substitute was

duplicated. The assignment of the full set of housing

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

occupied, the housing characteristics were assigned from

a previously processed occupied unit. If the housing unit

was vacant, the housing characteristics were assigned

from a previously processed vacant unit.

Collection and Processing Procedures

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

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

ENUMERATION AND RESIDENCE RULES

In accordance with census practice dating back to the

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

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

where the person lives and sleeps most of the time or

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

necessarily the same as the person’s legal residence or

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

the use of these different bases of classification would

produce substantially the same statistics, although there

might be appreciable differences for a few areas.

The implementation of this practice has resulted in the

establishment of rules for certain categories of persons

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

not always counted as residents of the place where they

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

Enumeration Rules

Each person whose usual residence was in the United

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

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

earlier censuses, foreign diplomatic personnel participated

voluntarily in the census, regardless of their residence on

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

from the census were foreign travelers who had not

established a residence.

Americans with a usual residence outside the United

States were not enumerated in the 1990 census. United

States military and Federal civilian employees, and their

dependents overseas, are included in the population counts

for States for purposes of Congressional apportionment,

but are excluded from all other tabulations for States and

their subdivisions. The counts of United States military and

Federal civilian employees, and their dependents, were

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

overseas, such as employees of international agencies

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

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

United States.

Residence Rules

Each person included in the census was to be counted

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

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

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

had no usual residence, the person was to be counted

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

Persons temporarily away from their usual residence,

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

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

Persons who occupied more than one residence during the

year were counted at the one they considered to be their

usual residence. Persons who moved on or near Census

Day were counted at the place they considered to be their

usual residence.

Persons in the Armed Forces—Members of the Armed

Forces were counted as residents of the area in which the

installation was located, either on the installation or in the

surrounding community. Family members of Armed Forces

personnel were counted where they were living on Census

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

another location).

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

attributed to the municipality that the Department of the

Navy designated as its homeport. If the homeport included

more than one municipality, ships berthed there on Census

Day were assigned by the Bureau of the Census to the

municipality in which the land immediately adjacent to the

dock or pier was actually located. Ships attributed to the

homeport, but not physically present and not deployed to

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

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

These rules also apply to Coast Guard vessels.

Personnel assigned to each Navy and Coast Guard ship

were given the opportunity to report a residence off the

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

communities surrounding the homeport were counted there;

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

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

on Census Day were considered to be part of the overseas

population.

Persons on Maritime Ships—Persons aboard maritime

ships who reported an off-ship residence were counted at

that residence. Those who did not were counted as

residents of the ship, and were attributed as follows:

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

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

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

the port was in the United States or its territories.

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

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

a foreign port.

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

foreign port or at sea between foreign ports. (These

persons were not included in the overseas population

for apportionment purposes.)

Persons Away at School—College students were counted

as residents of the area in which they were living while

attending college, as they have been since the 1950

census. Children in boarding schools below the college

level were counted at their parental home.

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

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

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

wards for the physically handicapped, mentally retarded,

or mentally ill, were counted at these places.

Persons Away From Their Usual Residence on Census

Day—Migrant agricultural workers who did not report a

usual residence elsewhere were counted as residents of

the place where they were on Census Day. Persons in

worker camps who did not report a usual residence

elsewhere were counted as residents of the camp where

they were on Census Day.

In some parts of the country, natural disasters displaced

significant numbers of households from their usual place of

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

at that location.

Persons away from their usual residence were counted

by means of interviews with other members of their

families, resident managers, or neighbors.

DATA COLLECTION PROCEDURES

The 1990 census was conducted primarily through

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

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

32 other languages.

Enumeration of Housing Units

Each housing unit in the country received one of two

versions of the census questionnaire:

1. A short-form questionnaire that contained a limited

number of basic population and housing questions;

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

questions.

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

percent items and a number of additional questions; a

sampling procedure was used to determine those

housing units that were to receive the long-form

questionnaire.

Three sampling rates were employed. For slightly more

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

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

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

country, towns and townships) estimated to have fewer

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

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

census tracts and block numbering areas having more

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

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

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

stay within a limit of 17.7 million sample questionnaires, or

a one-in-six sample, nationwide.

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

cities, suburban areas, towns, and rural areas where

mailing addresses consisted of a house number and street

name. In these areas, the Census Bureau developed

mailing lists that included about 88.4 million addresses.

The questionnaires were delivered through the mail and

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

(April 1, 1990)

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

in densely populated rural areas where it was difficult to

develop mailing lists because mailing addresses did not

use house number and street name. The Census Bureau

compiled lists of housing units in advance of the census.

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

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

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

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

used in urban areas having large numbers of boarded-up

buildings. About 11 million housing units were enumerated

using this method.

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

very remote and sparsely-settled areas. The United States

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

Day, enumerators canvassed these areas, checked that all

housing units received a questionnaire, created a list of all

housing units, completed long-form questionnaires, and

picked up the completed short-form questionnaires. This

method was used mainly in the West and Northeast to

enumerate an estimated 6.5 million housing units.

Followup

Nonresponse Followup—In areas where respondents

were to mail back their questionnaires, an enumerator

visited each address from which a questionnaire was not

received.

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

areas, some households returned a questionnaire that did

not meet specific quality standards because of incomplete

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

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

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

areas where an enumerator picked up the questionnaires,

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

Special Enumeration Procedures

Special procedures and questionnaires were used for

the enumeration of persons in group quarters, such as

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

Reports, Military Census Reports, and Shipboard Census

Reports) included the 100-percent population questions

but did not include any housing questions. In all group

quarters, all persons were asked the basic population

questions; in most group quarters, additional questions

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

Shelter and Street Night (S-Night)

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

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

special census operation to count the population in four

types of locations where homeless people are found. On

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

morning hours of March 21, 1990, enumerators counted

persons in pre-identified locations:

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

2. Shelters with temporary lodging for runaway youths.

3. Shelters for abused women and their children.

4. Open locations in streets or other places not intended

for habitation.

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

whether persons living there considered themselves to be

homeless, hotels and motels (regardless of cost) used

entirely to shelter homeless persons, and pre-identified

rooms in hotels and motels used for homeless persons

and families. Enumeration in shelters usually occurred

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

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

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

March 20 to noon on March 21.

Other components, which some consider as part of the

homeless population, were enumerated as part of regular

census operations. These include persons doubled up with

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

living in transient sites, such as commercial campgrounds,

maternity homes for unwed mothers, and drug/ alcohol

abuse detoxification centers. In institutions, such as local

jails and mental hospitals, the Census Bureau does not

know who has a usual home elsewhere; therefore, even

though some are literally homeless, these persons cannot

be identified separately as a component of the homeless

population.

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

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

that prevent obtaining a total count of the homeless

population under any definition. As such, the Census

Bureau does not have a definition and will not provide a

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

will provide counts and characteristics of persons found at

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

appropriate to particular purposes as long as the data

limitations are taken into account.

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

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

active functioning government of the United States (more

than 39,000) requesting them to identify:

1. All shelters with sleeping facilities (permanent and

temporary, such as church basements, armories,

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

March 20).

2. Hotels and motels used to house homeless persons

and families.

3. A list of outdoor locations where homeless persons

tend to be at night.

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

airports, hospital emergency rooms, and so forth,

where homeless persons seek shelter at night.

5. The specific addresses of abandoned or boarded-up

buildings where homeless persons were thought to

stay at night.

The letter from the RCC’s to the governmental units

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

The street sites were limited to the list provided by the

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

persons, the Census Bureau took additional steps to

update the list of shelter and street locations if the local

jurisdiction did not respond to the certified letter. Smaller

cities and rural areas participated if the local jurisdiction

provided the Census Bureau a list of shelters or open

public places to visit or if shelters were identified through

our inventory development, local knowledge update, or

during the Special Place Prelist operation.

The Census Bureau encouraged persons familiar with

homeless persons and the homeless themselves to apply

as enumerators. This recruiting effort was particularly

successful in larger cities.

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

and at street locations were asked the basic population

questions. Additional questions about social and economic

characteristics were asked of a sample of persons in

shelters only.

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

children) staying overnight at the shelters, and everyone

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

uniform, and persons engaged in employment or obvious

money-making activities other than begging and panhandling.

At both shelter and street sites, persons found sleeping

were not awakened to answer questions. Rather, the

enumerator answered the sex and race questions by

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

his or her ability. In shelters, administrative records and

information from the shelter operator were used, when

available, for persons who were already asleep.

Less than 1 percent of shelters refused to participate in

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

most of those eventually cooperated and the number of

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

head counts and population characteristics were obtained

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

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

visible when the enumerator came to the open, public

locations that had been identified by local jurisdictions.

Homeless persons who were well hidden, moving about, or

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

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

of the number missed from census data. The count of

persons in open, public places was affected by many

factors, including the extra efforts made to encourage

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

weather (which was unusually cold in many parts of the

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

census. Expectations of the number of homeless persons

on the street cannot be based on the number seen during

the day because the night-time situation is normally very

different as more homeless persons are in shelters or very

well hidden.

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

or street).

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

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

Count operations. These two operations were aimed at

counting the population who reported having no usual

residence. M-Night was conducted a week after Census

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

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

flophouses, local jails and similar places at which the

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

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

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

collect any forms completed after midnight.

The Casual Count operation was conducted in May

1980 at additional nonshelter locations, such as street

corners, pool halls, welfare and employment offices. This

operation lasted for approximately 2 weeks. Casual Count

was conducted during the day only in selected large

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

years of age were asked if they had been previously

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

count homeless persons living in the streets. Persons were

excluded if they said they had a usual home outside the

city because it was not cost effective to check through

individual questionnaires in another city to try to find the

person.

PROCESSING PROCEDURES

Respondents returned many census questionnaires by

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

processing offices. In these offices, the questionnaires

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

consistency of the responses. After this initial processing

had been performed, all questionnaires were sent to the

processing offices.

In the processing offices, the household questionnaires

were microfilmed and processed by the Film Optical

Sensing Device for Input to Computers (FOSDIC). For

most items on the questionnaire, the information supplied

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

filled circles from the microfilm copy of the questionnaire

and transferred the information to computer tape. The

computer tape did not include individual names, addresses,

or handwritten responses.

The data processing was performed in several stages.

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

and transferred to computer disk. Selected written entries

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

keyed from the microfilm and coded using the data base

developed from the 1980 census and subsequent content

and operational tests. Keying of other written entries on

the long forms occurred in the seven processing offices.

The information (for example, income dollar amounts or

homeowner shelter costs) on these keyed files was merged

with the FOSDIC data or processed further through one of

three automated coding programs. The codes for industry,

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

merged with the FOSDIC data for editing, weighting, and

tabulating operations at Census Bureau headquarters. All

responses to the questions on Individual Census Reports

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

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

microfilm or FOSDIC.

Sources of Assistance ------------------------------------- F–5

The 1990 census data products, being released during

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

media. The Census Bureau has increased the product

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

of requirements and maximize the usefulness of the data.

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

The Census Bureau also has expanded services and

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

include over 1,400 organizations to provide data and

services to the public.

This appendix provides a detailed introduction to the

1990 census data products and related materials, such as

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

available to the public.

DATA PRODUCTS

Printed reports and computer tape files traditionally are

the most widely used products. The Census Bureau also

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

through its online service, CENDATATM. These various

products are described below. For information about prices

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

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

phone number.)

The data products present statistics about the subjects

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

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

sample subjects (those covered in questions asked at

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

product presents either 100-percent data prepared by

tabulating the responses to the 100-percent questions

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

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

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

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

Printed Reports

Printed reports are the most convenient and readily

available source of data for most census users. The

Census Bureau releases the reports in several series (see

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

Census of Population and Housing (1990 CPH), 1990

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

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

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

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

section for the address and phone number.)

In several series, there are separate reports for each

State. The geographic coverage of the State reports is

listed in figure 2. The United States summaries for these

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

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

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

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

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

more persons in selected States).

Report series that present data for small areas, such as

census tracts, contain limited subject-matter detail (for

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

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

series that include greater amounts of subject-matter detail

include less geographic detail.

Computer Tape Files

The Census Bureau provides more data on tape and

other machine-readable products than in printed reports.

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

files released on computer tape (available on both reels

and cartridges). They are introduced below, and more

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

through F–13.

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

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

and paper listings. Excerpts are available on

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

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

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

DATA PRODUCTS AND USER ASSISTANCE F–1
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 2 SESS: 122 OUTPUT: Fri Jul 23 13:30:37 1993 / pssw01/ disk2/ 90dec/ all/ usst/ appf

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

provide statistics with greater subject-matter detail than

printed reports. They also present statistics for some types

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

included in the reports. (See figure 3.)

Here are some important features of STF’s:

• Each STF presents a particular set of data tables for

specific types of geographic areas.

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

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

geographic levels reported, but contain the same data

detail.

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

and 4 offer sample data.

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

data detail than STF’s 2 and 4.

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

STF’s 1 through 4.

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

the source of the subject reports and provide greater

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

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

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

figure 4.)

Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) Files—These

computer tape files (see figure 4) contain data from

samples of long-form housing-unit records (‘‘microdata’’) for large geographic areas. Each sample housing-unit

record includes essentially all the 1990 census data collected about each person in a sample household and the

characteristics of the housing unit. Information that could

be used to identify an individual or a housing unit is not

included in the file.

Microdata files enable users to prepare customized

tabulations and cross-tabulations of most items on the

census questionnaire. There are two standard PUMS files:

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

which each household record includes codes to let the

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

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

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

and boundaries that do not cross State lines.

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

household records include codes associating them with

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

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

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

showing data for selected urbanized areas and other

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

There also is a special 3-percent ‘‘elderly’’ file with the

same geography as the 5-percent sample. Included are

households with at least one person age 60 or more and all

members of those households.

Other Special Computer Tape Files—Other files include

the Census/ Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) File

and the County-to-County Migration File. (See figure 4.)

The Census Bureau may prepare additional special files.

Microfiche

All printed reports are offered on microfiche from Customer Services soon after they are published. Plans to

prepare microfiche versions of selected other products

were canceled, so that more products could be produced

on CD-ROM.

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

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

an extract of STF 1B that presents selected statistics for

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

available on CD-ROM. The Census Bureau also offers on

CD-ROM: PUMS Files, SSTF’s, Census EEO File, and

County-to-County Migration File. (One 4 3/ 4-inch CD-ROM,

a type of optical or laser disc, can hold the contents of

approximately 1,600 flexible diskettes, or three or four

high-density computer tapes.)

Online Information Systems

The Census Bureau began CENDATATM, its online

information service, in 1984. CENDATATM is accessible

through two information vendors, CompuServe and

DIALOG. A number of Census Bureau reports, in whole

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

CENDATATM provides up-to-date information about the

availability of data products and carries selections of State,

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

and STF’s 1 and 3. CENDATATM also offers the entire

Census EEO File.

Custom Data Products

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

example, information for locally defined geographic areas.

Users also can order special microdata files.

The cost of preparing custom products must be paid by

the users who request them. Any data that the Census

Bureau provides in these products are subject to the same

standards applied to other data to ensure that confidential

individual information is not revealed.

User-Defined Areas Program (UDAP) Tabulations—

UDAP can provide a set of predefined data tables for

locally defined areas that do not correspond to standard

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

around groupings of census blocks on 1990 census County

Block Maps or by electronically submitting the geographic

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

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

Special Tabulations—The Census Bureau can prepare

special data tabulations for any specific geographic or

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

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

‘‘Sources of Assistance’’ section.)

GEOGRAPHIC PRODUCTS

Maps

Census Bureau maps are necessary for virtually all uses

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

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

for analytic purposes. The Census Bureau prepares a

variety of 1990 census maps. Among the most useful are

these series:

County Block Maps—These maps show census blocks

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

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

also shows voting district boundaries in those States that

furnished them. The maps are prepared on electrostatic

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

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

area and the density of the block pattern. An average

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

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

county subdivisions, places, American Indian and Alaska

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

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

purchase from Customer Services. Also, they appear on

multiple page-size sheets in the State reports of these

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

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

Census Tract/ Block Numbering Area (BNA) Outline

Maps—Maps in this county-based series depict census

tract or BNA boundaries and numbers, and the features

underlying the boundaries. They also show governmental

units in relation to the census tracts/ BNA’s. The Superintendent of Documents sells printed copies.

Urbanized Area Outline/ Boundary Maps—Maps in this

urbanized area-based series depict the boundaries of the

urbanized area and the features underlying the boundaries. They also show the boundaries for American Indian

and Alaska Native areas (AIANA’s), States, counties,

county subdivisions (MCD’s/ CCD’s), places (incorporated

and census designated), the map series subject area, and

selected base features and their names at a small scale.

Electrostatic-plotter copies are available for purchase from

Customer Services. Also, they appear on multiple pagesize sheets in the State reports of the 1990 CPH-2 series

and the Supplementary Report, Population and Land Area

of Urbanized Areas for the United States and Puerto Rico:

1990.

Voting District Outline Maps—Maps in this county-based

series depict voting district boundaries (for those counties

for which States furnished boundary information) and the

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

They are prepared on electrostatic plotters and sold by

Customer Services.

Geographic Publications

The Geographic Identification Code Scheme report in

the 1990 CPH-R series will not be printed. Persons interested in this report are encouraged to use the TIGER/ GICSTM

tape file (which also will be available on CD-ROM) described

below. Listings similar to the tables that would have been

included in the report may be offered. Contact Customer

Serivces, Data User Services Division, Bureau of the

Census, Washington, DC 20233, telephone 301-763-4100.

The Congressional District Atlas, 103rd Congress of the

United States is a two-volume, 1,200-page atlas depicting

the boundaries and number of the districts for the 103rd

Congress as defined following the 1990 decennial census.

This is the first Congress defined following the 1990

decennial census and, therefore, illustrates the most significant changes of the decade, including the reapportionment of the U.S. House of Representatives. Congressional

district boundaries following governmental unit boundaries

such as an incorporated place of a minor civil division, are

illustrated using symbology identified in the map legend.

Wherever possible, features used as congressional district

boundaries are identified by their feature name or their

feature type. The Census Bureau may produce subsequent

atlases if court ordered or State mandated redistricting

creates new congressional district boundaries. The Atlas is

sold by the Superintendent of Documents (stock no.

003-024-08683-2; $42).

Machine-Readable Geographic Files

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

names, land and inland water area in square kilometers,

geographic coordinates for an internal point for each

entity, and other geographic information.

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

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

DATA PRODUCTS AND USER ASSISTANCE F–3
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 4 SESS: 123 OUTPUT: Fri Jul 23 13:30:37 1993 / pssw01/ disk2/ 90dec/ all/ usst/ appf

census. TIGER provides coordinate-based digital map

information for the entire United States, Puerto Rico, the

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

the United States has jurisdiction.

The TIGER System has significantly improved the utility

of 1990 census maps and geographic reference products.

Extract files generated from the TIGER System permit

users, with appropriate software, to perform such tasks as

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

STF’s and displaying selected characteristics on maps or a

video display screen at different scales and with whatever

boundaries they select for any geographic area of the

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

show the distribution of the voting age population by city

block.

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

such as plotting maps and building geographic information

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

files (released on tape and CD-ROM) contain attributes for

the segments of each boundary and feature (for example,

roads, railroads, and rivers), including 1990 census geographic codes for adjacent areas, latitude/ longitude coordinates of segment end points and the curvature of

segments, the name and type of the feature, and the

relevant census feature class code identifying the feature

segment by category. TIGER/ LineTM files also furnish

address ranges and associated ZIP Codes for each side of

street segments that have city-style (house number/ street

name) addresses; provide the names of landmarks, such

as lakes and golf courses; and include other information.

The 1992 version also includes school district codes, 1990

census urbanized area codes, codes for districts of the

103rd Congress, and address range coverage expanded

to include all areas that have city-style addresses.

TIGER/ GICSTM file is another extract. This file contains

a total of 12 files, organized on a national or State-by-State

basis, for a variety of geographic entities, such as metropolitan areas and their components as of the 1990 census,

1990 census urbanized areas and their components, American Indian and Alaska Native areas and their related

states and counties, as well as more familiar entities

including counties with their county subdivisions and places). This file contains high-level geographic names, codes,

and relationship information. It can be used to link geographic entity names to the codes in the TIGER/ LineTM,

TIGER/ SDTSTM and other TIGER extract files. It also

contains 1990 census population and housing counts,

population density (CD-ROM version only, but can be

calculated using the tape version), and area measurement

information (including land area, total water area and

separate measurements for each of the four components

of water—Inland, Great Lakes, Coastal, and Territorial), as

well as the latitude and longitude for an internal point within

each geography entity. The TIGER/ GICSTM also includes

corrections to names for selected entities and corrections

to the FIPS 55 codes for county subdivisions and places.

The first 300 characters of each record in this file are the

same as those in the Data Dictionary for the Summary

Tape Files; and additional 100 characters provide the

above mentioned corrections and components of water.

Listings of the files in the TIGER/ GICSTM may be offered.

Call Customer Services at 301-763-4100.

Other TIGER System extracts, such as TIGER/ Census

Tract ComparabilityTM file and TIGER/ UA Limit file, are

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

For information on TIGER extract files, contact Customer

Services.

Depository Libraries—There are 1,400 libraries that receive

(from the Government Printing Office) Federal publications

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

publications are Census Bureau reports. The Census Bureau

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

and maps for their areas. The Census Catalog and Guide

includes a list of all depository libraries.

OTHER CENSUS BUREAU RESOURCES

The Census Bureau has more to offer than just the

results of the census of population and housing. Through

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

media) data on subjects as diverse as appliance sales,

neighborhood conditions, and exports to other countries.

Here are examples of the information published about—

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

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

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

• Housing and construction: Value of new construction,

numbers of owners and renters, property value or rent

paid, housing starts, fuels used, mortgage costs.

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

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

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

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

The other censuses, such as agriculture, retail trade,

manufactures, and governments, are collected for years

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

generate results as often as every month.

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

from the Census Bureau. Examples: employment and

unemployment; housing starts; wholesale and retail trade;

manufacturers’ shipments, inventories, and orders; export

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

The other statistical activities of the Census Bureau are

described below. Data users will find more information

about them and descriptions of their data products in the

annual Census Catalog and Guide. Also, special guides

and brochures are prepared for most of them. Contact the

Census Bureau’s Customer Services for more information.

Current Demographic and Housing Programs

Two types of current programs complement the 10-year

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

population of States, counties, and metropolitan areas is

estimated annually; and the population of places and other

governmental units is estimated every 2 years. Projections

of future population are made at the national and State

levels.

The Census Bureau’s many household surveys update

population and housing characteristics at the national level

and sometimes for States and metropolitan areas, as well.

These surveys also obtain many characteristics not included

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

taken monthly; the American Housing Survey national

sample is taken biennially; the American Housing Survey

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

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

Economic Censuses and Surveys

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

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

include the censuses of retail trade, wholesale trade,

service industries, transportation, manufactures, mineral

industries, and construction industries. Also included are

related programs, such as statistics on minority- and

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

outlying areas under U.S. jurisdiction.

Several key statistics are tabulated for all industries

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

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

done). Other items vary from sector to sector.

The Census Bureau also has programs that provide

current statistics on such measures as total sales of

particular kinds of businesses or production of particular

products. These programs include monthly, quarterly, and

annual surveys, the results of which appear in publication

series such as Current Business Reports and Current

Industrial Reports. The County Business Patterns program

offers annual statistics based on data compiled primarily

from administrative records.

Agriculture Census and Surveys

The agriculture census is conducted concurrently with

the economic censuses. It is the only source of uniform

agriculture data at the county level. It provides data on

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

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

products sold.

Results of three surveys—the 1988 Farm and Ranch

Irrigation Survey, 1988 Census of Horticulture Specialties,

and 1988 Agricultural Economics and Land Ownership

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

issues reports from a survey on cotton ginnings.

Governments Census and Surveys

The census of governments, also for years ending in

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

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

on such subjects as number of public employees, payrolls,

revenue, and expenditures.

Annual and quarterly surveys cover the same principal

subjects but generate data only for States and the largest

local governments.

Foreign Trade Statistics

Monthly U.S. merchandise trade data compiled by the

Census Bureau summarize export and import transactions

and are based on the official documents filed by shippers

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

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

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

States and the District of Columbia. Data are published

separately on trade between the United States and Puerto

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

Other Statistical Activities

The Census Bureau also offers international data. It

maintains an international data base which is available to

the public on computer tape and is used to produce the

biennial World Population Profile report. It prepares studies

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

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

compendia are the annual Statistical Abstract of the United

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

years), and the State and Metropolitan Area Data Book

(published approximately every 4 years).
