title: Census of Population and Housing, 2000 [United States]: Summary File 4, Rhode Island
title: Archival Version

description: Summary File 4 (SF 4) from the United States 2000 Census
contains the sample data, which is the information compiled from the
questions asked of a sample of all people and housing units.
Population items include basic population totals: urban and rural,
households and families, marital status, grandparents as caregivers,
language and ability to speak English, ancestry, place of birth,
citizenship status, year of entry, migration, place of work, journey
to work (commuting), school enrollment and educational attainment,
veteran status, disability, employment status, industry, occupation,
class of worker, income, and poverty status. Housing items include
basic housing totals: urban and rural, number of rooms, number of
bedrooms, year moved into unit, household size and occupants per room,
units in structure, year structure built, heating fuel, telephone
service, plumbing and kitchen facilities, vehicles available, value of
home, monthly rent, and shelter costs. In Summary File 4, the sample
data are presented in 213 population tables (matrices) and 110 housing
tables, identified with "PCT" and "HCT" respectively. Each table is
iterated for 336 population groups: the total population, 132 race
groups, 78 American Indian and Alaska Native tribe categories
(reflecting 39 individual tribes), 39 Hispanic or Latino groups, and
86 ancestry groups. The presentation of SF4 tables for any of the 336
population groups is subject to a population threshold. That is, if
there are fewer than 100 people (100-percent count) in a specific
population group in a specific geographic area, and there are fewer
than 50 unweighted cases, their population and housing characteristics
data are not available for that geographic area in SF4. For the
ancestry iterations, only the 50 unweighted cases test can be
performed. See Appendix H: Characteristic Iterations, for a complete
list of characteristic iterations.

description: Because of the number of files per state in
Summary File 4, ICPSR has given each state its own ICPSR study number
in the range ICPSR 13512-13563. The study number for the national file
is 13570. Data for each state are being released as they become
available.The data are provided in 38 segments (files) per
iteration. These segments are PCT1-PCT4, PCT5-PCT16, PCT17-PCT34,
PCT35-PCT37, PCT38-PCT45, PCT46-PCT49, PCT50-PCT61, PCT62-PCT67,

HCT87-HCT110. The iterations are Parts 1-336, the Geographic Header
File is Part 337. The Geographic Header File is in fixed-format ASCII
and the table files are in comma-delimited ASCII format. A merged
iteration will have 7,963 variables.For Parts 251-336, the part
names contain numbers within parentheses that refer to the Ancestry
Code List (page G1 of the codebook).
