Description: Summary Tape File 1 (STF 1) was the first computer-readable data file containing detailed tabulations of the nation's population and housing characteristics produced from the 1980 Census. This file, prepared by ICPSR, is a subset of STF1 and has data for all 50 states and the District of Columbia for each of the approximately 3,150 counties and county equivalents in the United States and for approximately 450 incorporated and unincorporated cities in the nation with populations of 50,000 persons or more. There are 321 substantive data variables organized in the form of 59 ''tables,'' as well as standard geographic identification variables. All of the data items contained in STF 1 were tabulated from the ''complete count'' or ''100%'' questions included on the 1980 Census questionnaire. This dataset is a one-file subset which covers the entire nation. It contains data from each of the 51 state files which were released separately in the STF1A series. The data are provided in the original Census Bureau format so they can be accessed straightforwardly by CENSPAC and other software packages that are oriented toward STF1 data in the format provided by the Census Bureau. There are two record segments of 1,638 characters for each of the 3,651 geographical areas contained in the file.
