Description: The data in these files were gathered from various Federal agencies and national sources including the 1980 Census of Population and Housing, the 1977 Economic Census, and the 1978 Census of Agriculture. There are three data files: a counties file, a cities file, and a places file. The universes vary from file to file. The counties file provides data on area and population, households, vital statistics, health, Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, crimes, housing, journey to work, education, labor force, personal income, money income government employment and finances, manufactures, wholesale and retail trade, service industries, banking, elections, and agriculture. It provides data for the United States, 50 states and the District of Columbia, and 3,137 counties or county equivalents. The counties file includes 3,189 records: a United States total, 51 state and District of Columbia records, and 3,137 county records. There are two physical records (segments) of 1,276 characters for each of the conceptual 'records' in the counties file. The sequence of records is FIPS state code and, within that, FIPS county code. The cities file includes, in addition to most of the subjects in the counties file, data on workers in family, climate, and residential electric bills.
