Some field names have been changed to make them consistent with the field names that will be used in the Census 2000 statistical data products. We have removed instances of single addresses in an address range. This was done to comply with confidentiality requirements which restrict us from releasing individual addresses. The Census Bureau is no longer using codes to represent the diacritical marks associated with characters in some words. Some counties did not require all of the 17 record types and therefore will have less than 17 files.
TXT files show the counts for the number of records for each record type by county.
Note that there are separate files for each state represented. The document that you are presently reading. Use software compatible with PK-ZIP 1.93A or higher to decompress the data. The Info-ZIP software is free and can be obtained as source code or executables from various bulletin boards and on line services software archive sites.
