These series are published underthe following three subject titles:1. <strong>1990</strong> Census of Population (<strong>1990</strong> CP)HOW TO FIND GEOGRAPHIC AREAS ANDSUBJECT-MATTER DATAThis report includes a table finding guide to assist theuser in locating those statistical tables that contain thedata that are needed. The table finding guide lists alphabetically,by geographic area, the subjects shown in thisreport. To determine which tables in this report show datafor a particular topic, find the subject in the left-handcolumn of the table finding guide and then look across thecolumns using the headings at the top for the desired typeof geographic area. Below is an example of a table findingguide.2. <strong>1990</strong> Census of Housing (<strong>1990</strong> CH)3. <strong>1990</strong> Census of Population and Housing (<strong>1990</strong> CPH)The types of data and the geographic areas shown inreports 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 <strong>Island</strong>s of the United States(Virgin <strong>Island</strong>s), plus a United States summary report.Some series include reports for American Indian andAlaska Native areas, metropolitan areas, and urbanizedareas. See appendix F for detailed information about thevarious report series; additional <strong>1990</strong> census data productssuch as computer tapes, microfiche, and laser disks;other related materials; and sources of assistance.The data from the <strong>1990</strong> census were derived from alimited number of basic questions asked of the entirepopulation and about every housing unit (referred to as the100-percent questions), and from additional questionsaskedofasampleofthepopulationandhousingunits(referred to as the sample questions). Two primary versionsof questionnaires were used: a short form containingonly the 100-percent questions and a long form containingboth the 100-percent questions and the additional samplequestions. Appendix E presents facsimiles of the questionnairepages and the respondent instructions used tocollect the data included in this report. Appendix F lists thesubjects that are covered by the 100-percent and samplecomponents of the <strong>1990</strong> census.Legal provision for this census, which was conducted asof April 1, <strong>1990</strong>, was made in the Act of Congress ofAugust 31, 1954 (amended August 1957, December 1975,and October 1976), which is codified in Title 13, UnitedStates Code.HOW TO USE THIS CENSUS REPORTI–1

The tables without reference letters contain data forthe total population only. The table finding guide does notinclude cross-classifications of subject-matter items, nordoes it distinguish among tables presenting data for allpersons or housing units and tables presenting data forsubgroups (for example, persons under 18 years or renteroccupiedhousing units) unless it is necessary to locate thesubject.Additional information to locate data within specificreports often is provided in the headnote at the top of thetable finding guide and in the footnotes at the bottom of theguide.HOW TO USE THE STATISTICAL TABLESParts of a Statistical TableThe census data included in printed reports are arrangedin 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.table within the report, while the title is a brief statementindicating the classification, nature, and time reference ofthe data presented in the table. The headnote is enclosedin brackets and is located under the title. It containsstatements that qualify, explain, or provide informationpertaining to the entire table. In some tables showing racialand Hispanic origin groups, the headnote includes informationthat data are presented only when certain populationsizecriteria (thresholds) are met. (For more information onthresholds, see the ‘‘User Notes’’ section.)The boxhead is under the heading. This portion of thetable, which contains the individual column heads orcaptions, describes the data in each vertical column. In theboxhead of many tables, a spanner appears across andabove two or more column heads or across two or morelower spanners. The purpose of a spanner is to classify orqualify items below it or separate the table into identifiableblocks in terms of major aspects of the data.The stub is located at the left edge of the table. Itincludes a listing of line or row captions or descriptions. Atthe top of the stub is the stubhead. The stubhead isconsidered to be an extension of the table title and usuallyshows generic geographic area designations and restrictions.In the stub, several features are used to help the userbetter understand the contents of the table. Usually, ablock of data lines is preceded by a sidehead. Thesidehead, similar to a spanner, describes and classifies thestub entries following it. The use of indentation in a stubindicates the relationship of one data line to another.Indented data lines represent subcategories that in mostinstances, sum to a total. Occasionally in tables, it isdesirable to show one or more single-line subcategoriesthat do not sum to the total. The unit of measure, such asdollars, is shown when it is not clear from the generalwording of the data line.The data field is that part of the table that contains thedata. It extends from the bottom of the boxhead to thebottom of the table and from the right of the stub to theright-hand edge of the page.Both geographic and subject-matter terms appear intables. It is important to read the definitions of the termsused in the tables because census terms often are definedin special ways that reflect the manner in which thequestions were asked and the data were tabulated.

In addition, there may have been atendency for respondents to round up their age if they wereclose to having a birthday. It is likely that approximately 10percent of persons in most age groups are actually 1 yearyounger. For most single years of age, the misstatementsare largely offsetting. The problem is most pronounced atage 0 because persons lost to age 1 may not have beenfully offset by the inclusion of babies born after April 1,<strong>1990</strong>, and because there may have been more rounding upto age 1 to avoid reporting age as 0 years. (Age incompleted months was not collected for infants underage 1.)The reporting of age 1 year older than age on April 1,<strong>1990</strong>, is likely to have been greater in areas where thecensus data were collected later in <strong>1990</strong>. The magnitudeof this problem was much less in the three previouscensuses where age was typically derived from respondentdata on year of birth and quarter of birth. (For moreinformation on the design of the age question, see thediscussion on comparability under ‘‘Age’’ in appendix B.)USER NOTESUser Note 2Theusershouldnotethattherearelimitationstomanyof these data. Please refer to the text provided with thisreport for further explanations on the limitations of thedata.User Note 3The estimated population totals for persons in groupquarters, specifically by group quarters type, that arebased on census sample tabulations may differ fromcomparable figures shown in 100-percent tabulations. Suchdifferences result, in part, from sampling variability whichoccurs because information was obtained from a sampleof the population rather than from all persons. Differencesalso occur because of nonsampling errors which affect the100-percent and sample data. Examples of nonsamplingerrors include respondent and enumerator errors, processingerrors, and nonresponse.The 100-percent data are the official counts and shouldbe used as the source for data on group quarters typewhen the primary focus is on counts of the population ingroup quarters, especially for small areas such as censustracts/ BNA’s or blocks. When the group quarters populationis shown by characteristics covered only on a samplebasis (for example, education, labor force status, income,etc.), the sample figures should be used within the contextof the sampling variability associated with them.For more information on the limitations of 100-percentand sample data for persons in group quarters and theclassification of group quarters type, see appendix B.Reasons for the differences between 100-percent andsample totals will be an important focus of post-censusresearch and evaluation.User Note 4Estimated population and housing unit totals based ontabulations from only the sample questionnaires (sampletabulations) may differ from the official counts as tabulatedfrom every census questionnaire (100-percent tabulations).Such differences result, in part, because the sampletabulations are based on information from a sample ofhouseholds rather than from all households (samplingerror).

These types of differencesare referred to as nonsampling errors. (For moreinformation on nonsampling error, see appendix C.)The 100-percent data are the official counts and shouldbe used as the source of information on population andhousing items collected on the 100-percent questionnaire,such as age, race, Hispanic origin, number of rooms, andtenure. This is especially appropriate when the primaryfocus is on counts of the population or housing units forsmall areas such as census tracts/ BNA’s, block groups,and for American Indian and Alaska Native areas. Forestimates of counts of persons and housing units bycharacteristics asked only on a sample basis (such aseducation, labor force status, income, and source ofwater), the sample estimates should be used within thecontext of the error associated with them.Many users are interested in tabulations of items collectedon the sample cross-classified by items collected ona 100-percent basis such as age, race, sex, Hispanicorigin, and housing units by tenure. Given the way theweights were applied during sample tabulations, generally,there is exact agreement between sample estimates and100-percent counts for total population and total housingunits for most geographic areas. At the State level andhigher geographic levels, sample estimates and 100-percentcounts for population by age, sex, race, and Hispanic originand for housing units by tenure, number of rooms and soon would be reasonably similar and, in some cases, thesame.At smaller geographic levels, including census tract/BNA, there is still general agreement between 100-percentcounts and sample estimates of total population or housingunits. At smaller geographic levels, however, there willbe expected differences between sample estimates and100-percent counts for population by age, sex, race, andHispanic origin and for housing units by tenure, number ofrooms and so on. In these cases, users may want toconsider using derived measures (such as means andmedians) or percent distributions. Whether using absolutenumbers or derived measures for small population groupsand for a small number of housing units in small geographicareas, users should be cautioned that the samplingerror associated with these data may be large.Even though the differences between sample estimatesand 100-percent counts for these categories are generallysmall, the differences for the American Indian, as well asthe Hispanic origin populations, are relatively larger thanfor other groups. The following provides some explanationfor these differences.State-level sample estimates of the number of AmericanIndians are generally higher than the corresponding100-percent counts. It appears the differences are primarilythe result of proportionately higher reporting of ‘‘Cherokee’’tribe on sample questionnaires. This phenomenonoccurs primarily in off-reservation areas. The reasons forthe greater reporting of Cherokee on sample forms are notfully known at this time. The Census Bureau will doresearch to provide more information on this phenomenon.For the Hispanic origin population, sample estimates atthe State level are generally lower than the corresponding100-percent counts. The majority of difference is causedby the 100-percent and sample processing of the Hispanicquestion on the sample questionnaire when the respondentdid not mark any response category. When processingthe sample, we used written entries in race or Hispanicorigin as well as responses to questions only asked on thesample, such as ancestry and place of birth. These proceduresled to a lower proportion of persons being assignedas Hispanic in sample processing than were assignedduring 100-percent processing. The Census Bureau willevaluate the effectiveness of the 100-percent and sampleprocedures.As in previous censuses, the Census Bureau will evaluatethe quality of the data and make this informationavailable to data users. In the meanwhile, both 100-percent and sample data serve very important purposesand, therefore, should be used within the limitations of thesampling and nonsampling errors.User Note 5Thresholds and Complementary Thresholds—To showcharacteristics for a large number of racial and Hispanicgroups and to avoid using a large number of pages to showcharacteristics for small population groups, populationthresholdsareusedinsometablesinthisreport.Also,complementary population thresholds are used in sometables to avoid showing largely repetitive data for the Whitepopulation and for the White, not of Hispanic origin population.Specifically, complementary thresholds are used tolimit the presentation of characteristics for the Whitepopulation when the population of races other than Whiteis small and for the White, not of Hispanic origin populationwhen the Hispanic origin population is small.For example, assume that the threshold and complementarythreshold are 1,000 in a table showing data byrace and Hispanic origin for counties. The threshold of1,000 applies to each group, and in addition, the complementarythreshold of 1,000 applies to White and to White,not of Hispanic origin. Figure 1, shown on the next page,illustrates how the threshold and complementary thresholdfor race and Hispanic origin apply for a hypotheticalcounty. (For simplicity, it is assumed that the ‘‘Other race’’population of the county is zero because characteristicsare not shown for the ‘‘Other race’’ population below theState level.)

The count fortotal ancestries reported includes two ancestries for eachperson. For example, if a person reported a multipleancestry such as ‘‘German and Irish,’’ that response wascounted twice in the tabulations—once in the ‘‘German’’category and again in the ‘‘Irish’’ category. Also, for aperson reporting only a single ancestry, the person wastabulated twice—once for the reported ancestry and againin the ‘‘Other ancestry’’ category.The count for ‘‘Total ancestries reported’’ for comparablegeographic areas may differ among census dataproducts since, in some products, persons who reported asingle ancestry are counted only once and a secondancestry is not tabulated.

The boundaries of the 12 ANRC’swere established by the Department of the Interior, incooperation with Alaska Natives. Each ANRC was designedto include, as far as practicable, Alaska Natives with acommon heritage and common interests. The ANRC boundariesfor the <strong>1990</strong> census were identified by the Bureau ofLand Management. A 13th region was established forAlaska Natives who are not permanent residents and whochose not to enroll in one of the 12 ANRC’s; no censusproducts are prepared for the 13th region. ANRC’s werefirst identified for the 1980 census.Each ANRC is assigned a two-digit census code rangingfrom 07 through 84. These census codes are assigned inalphabetical order of the ANRC’s.Alaska Native Village (ANV) Statistical AreaAlaska Native villages (ANV’s) constitute tribes, bands,clans, groups, villages, communities, or associations inAlaska that are recognized pursuant to the Alaska NativeClaims Settlement Act of 1972, Public Law 92-203. BecauseANV’s do not have legally designated boundaries, theCensus Bureau has established Alaska Native villagestatistical areas (ANVSA’s) for statistical purposes. For the<strong>1990</strong> census, the Census Bureau cooperated with officialsof the nonprofit corporation within each participating AlaskaNative Regional Corporation (ANRC), as well as otherknowledgeable officials, to delineate boundaries that encompassthe settled area associated with each ANV. ANVSA’sare located within ANRC’s and do not cross ANRC boundaries.ANVSA’s for the <strong>1990</strong> census replace the ANV’sthat the Census Bureau recognized for the 1980 census.Each ANVSA is assigned a four-digit census coderanging from 6001 through 8989. Each ANVSA also isassigned a five-digit FIPS code. Both the census and FIPScodes are assigned in alphabetical order of ANVSA’s.American Indian Reservation and Trust LandAmerican Indian Reservation—Federal American Indianreservations are areas with boundaries established bytreaty, statute, and/ or executive or court order, and recognizedby the Federal Government as territory in whichAmerican Indian tribes have jurisdiction. State reservationsare lands held in trust by State governments for the useand benefit of a given tribe. The reservations and theirboundaries were identified for the <strong>1990</strong> census by theBureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), Department of Interior (forFederal reservations), and State governments (for Statereservations). The names of American Indian reservationsrecognized by State governments, but not by the FederalGovernment, are followed by ‘‘(State).’’ Areas composedof reservation lands that are administered jointly and/ orare claimed by two reservations, as identified by the BIA,are called ‘‘joint areas,’’ and are treated as separateAmerican Indian reservations for census purposes.Federal reservations may cross State boundaries, andFederal and State reservations may cross county, countysubdivision, and place boundaries. For reservations thatcross State boundaries, only the portion of the reservationsin a given State are shown in the data products forthat State; the entire reservations are shown in dataproducts for the United States.Each American Indian reservation is assigned a fourdigitcensus code ranging from 0001 through 4989. Thesecensus codes are assigned in alphabetical order of AmericanIndian reservations nationwide, except that joint areasappear at the end of the code range. Each American Indianreservation also is assigned a five-digit FIPS code; becausethe FIPS codes are assigned in alphabetical sequence ofAmerican Indian reservations within each State, the FIPScode is different in each State for reservations in morethan one State.Trust Land—Trust lands are property associated with aparticular American Indian reservation or tribe, held in trustby the Federal Government. Trust lands may be held intrust either for a tribe (tribal trust land) or for an individualmember of a tribe (individual trust land). Trust landsrecognized for the <strong>1990</strong> census comprise all tribal trustlands and inhabited individual trust lands located outsideof a reservation boundary. As with other American Indianareas, trust lands may be located in more than one State.Only the trust lands in a given State are shown in the dataproducts for that State; all trust lands associated with areservation or tribe are shown in data products for theUnited States. The Census Bureau first reported data fortribal trust lands for the 1980 census.Trust lands are assigned a four-digit census code and afive-digit FIPS code, the same as that for the reservationwith which they are associated. Trust lands not associatedwith a reservation are presented by tribal name, interspersedalphabetically among the reservations.Tribal Designated Statistical Area (TDSA)Tribal designated statistical areas (TDSA’s) are areas,delineated outside Oklahoma by federally- and Staterecognizedtribes without a land base or associated trustlands, to provide statistical areas for which the CensusBureau tabulates data. TDSA’s represent areas generallycontaining the American Indian population over whichfederally-recognized tribes have jurisdiction and areas inwhich State tribes provide benefits and services to theirmembers. The names of TDSA’s delineated by Staterecognizedtribes are followed by ‘‘(State).’’ The CensusBureau did not recognize TDSA’s before the <strong>1990</strong> census.Each TDSA is assigned a four-digit census code rangingfrom 9001 through 9589. The census codes are assignedin alphabetical order of TDSA’s nationwide. Each TDSAalso is assigned a five-digit FIPS code in alphabetical orderwithin State.A–2 AREA CLASSIFICATIONS

TJSA’s represent areas generally containingthe American Indian population over which one or moretribal governments have jurisdiction; if tribal officials delineatedadjacent TJSA’s so that they include some duplicateterritory, 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 (excludingurbanized areas)’’ shown in 1980 census data products.The Historic Areas of Oklahoma comprised theterritory located within reservations that had legally establishedboundaries from 1900 to 1907; these reservationswere dissolved during the 2- to 3-year period preceding thestatehood of Oklahoma in 1907. The Historic Areas ofOklahoma (excluding urbanized areas) were identified onlyfor the 1980 census.Each TJSA is assigned a four-digit census code rangingfrom 5001 through 5989. The census codes are assignedin alphabetical order of TJSA’s, except that joint areasappear at the end of the code range. Each TJSA also isassigned a five-digit FIPS code in alphabetical order withinOklahoma.AREA MEASUREMENTArea measurements provide the size, in square kilometers(also in square miles in printed reports), recorded foreach geographic entity for which the Census Bureautabulates data in general-purpose data products (exceptcrews-of-vessels entities and ZIP Codes). (Square kilometersmay be divided by 2.59 to convert an area measurementto square miles.) Area was calculated from thespecific set of boundaries recorded for the entity in theCensus Bureau’s geographic data base (see ‘‘TIGER’’).On machine-readable files, area measurements are shownto three decimal places; the decimal point is implied. Inprinted reports and listings, area measurements are shownto one decimal.The Census Bureau provides measurements for bothland area and total water area for the <strong>1990</strong> census; thewater figure includes inland, coastal, Great Lakes, andterritorial water. (For the 1980 census, the Census Bureauprovided area measurements for land and inland water.)The Census Bureau will provide measurements for thecomponent types of water for the affected entities in aseparate file. ‘‘Inland water’’ consists of any lake, reservoir,pond, or similar body of water that is recorded in theCensus Bureau’s geographic data base. It also includesany river, creek, canal, stream, or similar feature that isrecorded in that data base as a two-dimensional feature(rather than as a single line). The portions of the oceansand related large embayments (such as the ChesapeakeBay and Puget Sound), the Gulf of Mexico, and theCaribbean Sea that belong to the United States and itsterritories are considered to be ‘‘coastal’’ and ‘‘territorial’’AREA CLASSIFICATIONSwaters; the Great Lakes are treated as a separate waterentity. Rivers and bays that empty into these bodies ofwater are treated as ‘‘inland water’’ from the point beyondwhich they are narrower than one nautical mile across.Identification of land and inland, coastal, and territorialwaters is for statistical purposes, and does not necessarilyreflect legal definitions thereof.By definition, census blocks do not include water withintheir boundaries; therefore, the water area of a block isalways zero. Land area measurements may disagree withthe information displayed on census maps and in theTIGER file because, for area measurement purposes,features identified as ‘‘intermittent water’’ and ‘‘glacier’’are reported as land area. For this reason, it may not bepossible to derive the land area for an entity by summingthe land area of its component census blocks. In addition,the water area measurement reported for some geographicentities includes water that is not included in anylower-level geographic entity. Therefore, because water iscontained only in a higher-level geographic entity, summingthe water measurements for all the componentlower-level geographic entities will not yield the water areaof that higher-level entity. This occurs, for example, wherewater is associated with a county but is not within the legalboundary of any minor civil division, or the water isassociated with a State but is not within the legal boundaryof any county. Crews-of-vessels entities (see ‘‘CensusTract and Block Numbering Area’’ and ‘‘Block’’) do notencompass territory and therefore have no area measurements.ZIP Codes do not have specific boundaries, andtherefore, also do not have area measurements.The accuracy of any area measurement figure is limitedby the inaccuracy inherent in (1) the location and shapeof the various boundary features in the data base, and(2) rounding affecting the last digit in all operations thatcompute and/ or sum the area measurements.BLOCKCensus blocks are small areas bounded on all sides byvisible features such as streets, roads, streams, andrailroad 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 inmost cases the same as collection blocks, used in thecensus enumeration. In some cases, collection blockshave been ‘‘split’’ into two or more parts required for datatabulations. Tabulation blocks do not cross the boundariesof counties, county subdivisions, places, census tracts orblock numbering areas, American Indian and Alaska Nativeareas, congressional districts, voting districts, urban orrural areas, or urbanized areas. The <strong>1990</strong> census is thefirst for which the entire United States and its possessionsare block-numbered.Blocks are numbered uniquely within each census tractor BNA. A block is identified by a three-digit number,sometimes with a single alphabetical suffix. Block numbersA–3

For example, when a citylimit runs through data collection block 101, the data forthe portion inside the city is tabulated in block 101A andthe portion outside, in block 101B. A block number with thesuffix ‘‘Z’’ represents a ‘‘crews-of-vessels’’ entity for whichthe Census Bureau tabulates data, but that does notrepresent a true geographic area; such a block is shown oncensus maps associated with an anchor symbol and acensus tract or block numbering area with a .99 suffix.BLOCK GROUP (BG)Geographic Block GroupA geographic block group (BG) is a cluster of blockshaving the same first digit of their three-digit identifyingnumbers within a census tract or block numbering area(BNA). For example, BG 3 within a census tract or BNAincludes all blocks numbered between 301 and 397. Inmost cases, the numbering involves substantially fewerthan 97 blocks. Geographic BG’s never cross census tractor BNA boundaries, but may cross the boundaries ofcounty subdivisions, places, American Indian and AlaskaNative areas, urbanized areas, voting districts, and congressionaldistricts. BG’s generally contain between 250and 550 housing units, with the ideal size being 400housing units.Tabulation Block GroupIn the data tabulations, a geographic BG may be split topresent data for every unique combination of countysubdivision, place, American Indian and Alaska Nativearea, urbanized area, voting district, urban/ rural and congressionaldistrict shown in the data product; for example,if BG 3 is partly in a city and partly outside the city, therewill be separate tabulated records for each portion of BG 3.BG’s are used in tabulating decennial census data nationwidein the <strong>1990</strong> census, in all block-numbered areas in the1980 census, and in Tape Address Register (TAR) areas inthe 1970 census. For purposes of data presentation, BG’sare a substitute for the enumeration districts (ED’s) usedfor reporting data in many parts of the United States for the1970 and 1980 censuses, and in all areas for pre-1970censuses.BOUNDARY CHANGESThe boundaries of some counties, county subdivisions,American Indian and Alaska Native areas, and manyincorporated places, changed between those reported forthe 1980 census and January 1, <strong>1990</strong>. Boundary changesto legal entities result from:1. Annexations to or detachments from legally establishedgovernmental units.2. Mergers or consolidations of two or more governmentalunits.3. Establishment of new governmental units.4. Disincorporations or disorganizations of existing governmentalunits.5. Changes in treaties and Executive Orders.The historical counts shown for counties, county subdivisions,and places are not updated for such changes, andthus reflect the population and housing units in the area asdelineated at each census. Information on boundary changesreported between the 1980 and <strong>1990</strong> censuses for counties,county subdivisions, and incorporated places is presentedin the ‘‘User Notes’’ section of the technicaldocumentation of Summary Tape Files 1 and 3, and in the<strong>1990</strong> CPH-2, Population and Housing Unit Counts printedreports. For information on boundary changes for suchareas in the decade preceding other decennial censuses,see the Number of Inhabitants reports for each census.Boundary changes are not reported for some areas, suchas census designated places and block groups.CENSUS REGION AND CENSUS DIVISIONCensus DivisionCensus divisions are groupings of States that are subdivisionsof the four census regions. There are ninedivisions, which the Census Bureau adopted in 1910 forthe presentation of data.

There arefour regions—Northeast, Midwest, South, and West. Eachof the four census regions is divided into two or morecensus divisions. Prior to 1984, the Midwest region wasnamed the North Central region. From 1910, when censusregions were established, through the 1940’s, there werethree regions—North, South, and West.CENSUS TRACT AND BLOCK NUMBERINGAREABlock Numbering Area (BNA)Block numbering areas (BNA’s) are small statisticalsubdivisions of a county for grouping and numberingblocks in nonmetropolitan counties where local censusstatistical areas committees have not established censustracts. State agencies and the Census Bureau delineatedBNA’s for the <strong>1990</strong> census, using guidelines similar tothose for the delineation of census tracts. BNA’s do notcross county boundaries.BNA’s are identified by a four-digit basic number andmay have a two-digit suffix; for example, 9901.07. Thedecimal point separating the four-digit basic BNA numberfrom the two-digit suffix is shown in printed reports, inmicrofiche, and on census maps; in machine-readablefiles, the decimal point is implied. Many BNA’s do not havea suffix; in such cases, the suffix field is left blank in all dataproducts. BNA numbers range from 9501 through 9989.99,and are unique within a county (numbers in the range of0001 through 9499.99 denote a census tract). The suffix.99 identifies a BNA that was populated entirely by personsaboard one or more civilian or military ships. A ‘‘crews-ofvessels’’BNA appears on census maps only as an anchorsymbol with its BNA number (and block numbers on mapsshowing block numbers); the BNA relates to the shipsassociated with the onshore BNA’s having the samefour-digit basic number. Suffixes in the range .80 through.98 usually identify BNA’s that either were revised or werecreated during the <strong>1990</strong> census data collection activities.AREA CLASSIFICATIONSSome of these revisions produced BNA’s that have extremelysmall land area and may have little or no population orhousing. For data analysis, such a BNA can be summarizedwith an adjacent BNA.Census TractCensus tracts are small, relatively permanent statisticalsubdivisions of a county. Census tracts are delineated forall metropolitan areas (MA’s) and other densely populatedcounties by local census statistical areas committeesfollowing Census Bureau guidelines (more than 3,000census tracts have been established in 221 countiesoutside MA’s). Six States (California, Connecticut, Delaware,Hawaii, New Jersey, and <strong>Rhode</strong> <strong>Island</strong>) and theDistrict of Columbia are covered entirely by census tracts.Census tracts usually have between 2,500 and 8,000persons and, when first delineated, are designed to behomogeneous with respect to population characteristics,economic status, and living conditions. Census tracts donot cross county boundaries. The spatial size of censustracts varies widely depending on the density of settlement.Census tract boundaries are delineated with theintention of being maintained over a long time so thatstatistical comparisons can be made from census tocensus. However, physical changes in street patternscaused by highway construction, new development, etc.,may require occasional revisions; census tracts occasionallyare split due to large population growth, or combinedas a result of substantial population decline. Census tractsare referred to as ‘‘tracts’’ in all <strong>1990</strong> data products.Census tracts are identified by a four-digit basic numberand may have a two-digit suffix; for example, 6059.02. Thedecimal point separating the four-digit basic tract numberfrom the two-digit suffix is shown in printed reports, inmicrofiche, and on census maps; in machine-readablefiles, the decimal point is implied. Many census tracts donot have a suffix; in such cases, the suffix field is left blankin all data products. Leading zeros in a census tractnumber (for example, 002502) are shown only on machinereadablefiles.Census tract numbers range from 0001 through 9499.99and are unique within a county (numbers in the range of9501 through 9989.99 denote a block numbering area).The suffix .99 identifies a census tract that was populatedentirely by persons aboard one or more civilian or militaryships. A ‘‘crews-of-vessels’’ census tract appears on censusmaps only as an anchor symbol with its census tractnumber (and block numbers on maps showing blocknumbers). These census tracts relate to the ships associatedwith the onshore census tract having the samefour-digit basic number. Suffixes in the range .80 through.98 usually identify census tracts that either were revisedor were created during the <strong>1990</strong> census data collectionactivities. Some of these revisions may have resulted incensus tracts that have extremely small land area and mayhave little or no population or housing. For data analysis,such a census tract can be summarized with an adjacentcensus tract.A–5

Each CD is to be asequal in population to all other CD’s in the State aspracticable, based on the decennial census counts.The CD’s that were in effect on January 1, <strong>1990</strong> werethose of the 101st Congress. Data on the 101st Congressappear in an early <strong>1990</strong> census data product (SummaryTape File 1A). The CD’s of the 101st Congress are thesame as those in effect for the 102nd Congress. CD’s ofthe 103rd Congress, reflecting redistricting based on the<strong>1990</strong> census, are summarized in later <strong>1990</strong> data products(STF’s 1D and 3D, and <strong>1990</strong> CPH-4, Population andHousing Characteristics for Congressional Districts of the103rd Congress printed reports).COUNTYThe primary political divisions of most States are termed‘‘counties.’’ In Louisiana, these divisions are known as‘‘parishes.’’ In Alaska, which has no counties, the countyequivalents are the organized ‘‘boroughs’’ and the ‘‘censusareas’’ that are delineated for statistical purposes bythe State of Alaska and the Census Bureau. In four States(Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, and Virginia), there are oneor more cities that are independent of any county organizationand thus constitute primary divisions of their States.These cities are known as ‘‘independent cities’’ and aretreated as equivalent to counties for statistical purposes.That part of Yellowstone National Park in Montana istreated as a county equivalent. The District of Columbiahas no primary divisions, and the entire area is consideredequivalent to a county for statistical purposes.Each county and county equivalent is assigned a threedigitFIPS code that is unique within State. These codesare assigned in alphabetical order of county or countyequivalent within State, except for the independent cities,which follow the listing of counties.COUNTY SUBDIVISIONCounty subdivisions are the primary subdivisions ofcounties and their equivalents for the reporting of decennialcensus data. They include census county divisions,census subareas, minor civil divisions, and unorganizedterritories.Each county subdivision is assigned a three-digit censuscode in alphabetical order within county and a five-digitFIPS code in alphabetical order within State.Census County Division (CCD)Census county divisions (CCD’s) are subdivisions of acounty that were delineated by the Census Bureau, incooperation with State officials and local census statisticalareas committees, for statistical purposes. CCD’s wereestablished in 21 States where there are no legally establishedminor civil divisions (MCD’s), where the MCD’s donot have governmental or administrative purposes, wherethe boundaries of the MCD’s change frequently, and/ orwhere the MCD’s are not generally known to the public.CCD’s have no legal functions, and are not governmentalunits.The boundaries of CCD’s usually are delineated tofollow visible features, and in most cases coincide withcensus tract or block numbering area boundaries. Thename of each CCD is based on a place, county, orwell-known local name that identifies its location. CCD’shave been established in the following 21 States: Alabama,Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida,Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Kentucky, Montana, Nevada, NewMexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee,Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. For the 1980census, the county subdivisions recognized for Nevadawere MCD’s.Census Subarea (Alaska)Census subareas are statistical subdivisions of boroughsand census areas (county equivalents) in Alaska.Census subareas were delineated cooperatively by theState of Alaska and the Census Bureau. The censussubareas, identified first in 1980, replaced the varioustypes of subdivisions used in the 1970 census.Minor Civil Division (MCD)Minor civil divisions (MCD’s) are the primary political oradministrative divisions of a county. MCD’s representmany different kinds of legal entities with a wide variety ofgovernmental and/ or administrative functions. MCD’s arevariously designated as American Indian reservations,assessment districts, boroughs, election districts, gores,grants, magisterial districts, parish governing authoritydistricts, plantations, precincts, purchases, supervisors’districts, towns, and townships. In some States, all or someincorporated places are not located in any MCD and thusserve as MCD’s in their own right. In other States, incorporatedplaces are subordinate to (part of) the MCD’s inwhich they are located, or the pattern is mixed—someincorporated places are independent of MCD’s and othersare subordinate to one or more MCD’s.The Census Bureau recognizes MCD’s in the following28 States: Arkansas, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan,Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, NewHampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, NorthDakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, <strong>Rhode</strong> <strong>Island</strong>, South Dakota,Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

The Census Bureau presents data for theseMCD’s in all data products in which it provides data forplaces.Unorganized Territory (unorg.)In nine States (Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana,Maine, Minnesota, North Carolina, North Dakota, andSouth Dakota), some counties contain territory that is notincluded in an MCD recognized by the Census Bureau.Each separate area of unorganized territory in theseStates is recognized as one or more separate countysubdivisions for census purposes. Each unorganized territoryis given a descriptive name, followed by the designation‘‘unorg.’’GEOGRAPHIC CODEGeographic codes are shown primarily on machinereadabledata products, such as computer tape and compactdisc-read only memory (CD-ROM), but also appear onother products such as microfiche; they also are shown onsome census maps. Codes are identified as ‘‘censuscodes’’ only if there is also a Federal Information ProcessingStandards (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 FIPSequivalent, or for which the Census Bureau does not usethe FIPS code. The exceptions, which use only the FIPScode in census products, are county, congressional district,and metropolitan area (that is, metropolitan statisticalarea, consolidated metropolitan statistical area, and primarymetropolitan statistical area).Census CodeCensus codes are assigned for a variety of geographicentities, including American Indian and Alaska Native area,census division, census region, county subdivision, place,State, urbanized area, and voting district.

More informationabout FIPS and FIPS code documentation is availablefrom the National Technical Information Service, Springfield,VA 22161.United States Postal Service (USPS) CodeUnited States Postal Service (USPS) codes for Statesare used in all <strong>1990</strong> data products. The codes are twocharacteralphabetic abbreviations. These codes are thesame as the FIPS two-character alphabetic abbreviations.GEOGRAPHIC PRESENTATIONHierarchical PresentationA hierarchical geographic presentation shows the geographicentities in a superior/ subordinate structure incensus products. This structure is derived from the legal,administrative, or areal relationships of the entities. Thehierarchical structure is depicted in report tables by meansof indentation, and is explained for machine-readablemedia in the discussion of file structure in the geographiccoverage portion of the abstract in the technical documentation.An example of hierarchical presentation is the‘‘standard census geographic hierarchy’’: block, withinblock group, within census tract or block numbering area,within place, within county subdivision, within county, withinState, within division, within region, within the UnitedStates.

As in past censuses,the general rule for presenting historical data for States,counties, county subdivisions, and places is to showhistorical counts only for single, continually existing entities.Stated another way, if an entity existed for both thecurrent and preceding censuses, the tables show countsfor the preceding censuses. Included in this category areentities of the same type (county, county subdivision,place) even if they had changed their names. Also includedare entities that merged, but only if the new entity retainedthe name of one of the merged entities. The historicalcounts shown are for each entity as it was bounded ateach census.In cases where an entity was formed since a precedingcensus, such as a newly incorporated place or a newlyorganized township, the symbol three dots ‘‘...’’ is shownfor earlier censuses. The three-dot symbol also is shownfor those parts of a place that have extended into anadditional county or county subdivision through annexationor other revision of boundaries since the preceding census.In a few cases, changes in the boundaries of countysubdivisions caused a place to be split into two or moreparts, or to be split differently than in the preceding census.If historical counts for the parts of the place as currentlysplit did not appear in a preceding census, ‘‘(NA)’’ is shownfor the place in each county subdivision; however, thehistorical population and housing unit counts of the placeappear 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 inthe <strong>1990</strong> territory are reported in the geographic changenotes included in the ‘‘User Notes’’ text section of <strong>1990</strong>CPH-2, Population and Housing Unit Counts, andinthetechnical documentation of Summary Tape Files 1 and 3.In some cases, population and housing unit counts forindividual areas were revised since publication of the 1980reports (indicated by the prefix ‘‘r’’). In a number of tablesof <strong>1990</strong> CPH-2, Population and Housing Unit Counts, 1980counts are shown for aggregations of individual areas,such as the number, population, and housing unit counts ofplaces in size groups, or urban and rural distributions.Revisions of population and housing unit counts for individualareas were not applied to the various aggregations.Therefore, it may not be possible to determine the individualareas in a given aggregation using the historical counts;conversely, the sum of the counts shown for individualareas may not agree with the aggregation.INTERNAL POINTAn internal point is a set of geographic coordinates(latitude and longitude) that is located within a specifiedgeographic entity. A single point is identified for eachentity; for many entities, this point represents the approximategeographic center of that entity. If the shape of theentity caused this point to be located outside the boundariesof the entity, it is relocated from the center so that itis within the entity. If the internal point for a block falls in awater area, it is relocated to a land area within the block.On machine-readable products, internal points are shownto six decimal places; the decimal point is implied.METROPOLITAN AREA (MA)The general concept of a metropolitan area (MA) is oneof a large population nucleus, together with adjacentcommunities that have a high degree of economic andsocial integration with that nucleus. Some MA’s are definedaround two or more nuclei.The MA classification is a statistical standard, developedfor use by Federal agencies in the production,analysis, and publication of data on MA’s. The MA’s aredesignated and defined by the Federal Office of Managementand Budget, following a set of official publishedstandards. These standards were developed by the interagencyFederal Executive Committee on MetropolitanAreas, with the aim of producing definitions that are asconsistent as possible for all MA’s nationwide.Each MA must contain either a place with a minimumpopulation of 50,000 or a Census Bureau-defined urbanizedarea and a total MA population of at least 100,000(75,000 in New England). An MA comprises one or morecentral counties. An MA also may include one or moreoutlying counties that have close economic and socialrelationships with the central county. An outlying countymust have a specified level of commuting to the centralcounties and also must meet certain standards regardingmetropolitan character, such as population density, urbanpopulation, and population growth. In New England, MA’sare composed of cities and towns rather than wholecounties.The territory, population, and housing units in MA’s arereferred to as ‘‘metropolitan.’’ The metropolitan category issubdivided into ‘‘inside central city’’ and ‘‘outside centralcity.’’ The territory, population, and housing units locatedoutside MA’s are referred to as ‘‘nonmetropolitan.’’ TheA–8 AREA CLASSIFICATIONS

Documentation of the MA standards andhow they are applied is available from the Secretary,Federal Executive Committee on Metropolitan Areas, PopulationDivision, U.S. Bureau of the Census, Washington,DC 20233.Central CityIn each MSA and CMSA, the largest place and, in somecases, additional places are designated as ‘‘central cities’’under the official standards. A few PMSA’s do not havecentral cities. The largest central city and, in some cases,up to two additional central cities are included in the title ofthe MA; there also are central cities that are not includedin an MA title. An MA central city does not include any partof that city that extends outside the MA boundary.Consolidated and Primary MetropolitanStatistical Area (CMSA and PMSA)If an area that qualifies as an MA has more than onemillion persons, primary metropolitan statistical areas (PMSA’s)may be defined within it. PMSA’s consist of a largeurbanized county or cluster of counties that demonstratesvery strong internal economic and social links, in additionto close ties to other portions of the larger area. WhenPMSA’s are established, the larger area of which they arecomponent parts is designated a consolidated metropolitanstatistical area (CMSA).Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA)Metropolitan statistical areas (MSA’s) are relatively freestandingMA’s and are not closely associated with otherMA’s. These areas typically are surrounded by nonmetropolitancounties.Metropolitan Area Title and CodeThe title of an MSA contains the name of its largestcentral city and up to two additional city names, providedthat the additional places meet specified levels of population,employment, and commuting. Generally, a city with apopulation of 250,000 or more is in the title, regardless ofother criteria.The title of a PMSA may contain up to three placenames, as determined above, or up to three county names,sequenced in order of population. A CMSA title also mayinclude up to three names, the first of which generally isAREA CLASSIFICATIONSthe most populous central city in the area. The secondname may be the first city or county name in the mostpopulous remaining PMSA; the third name may be the firstcity or county name in the next most populous PMSA. Aregional designation may be substituted for the secondand/ or third names in a CMSA title if such a designation issupported by local opinion and is deemed to be unambiguousand suitable by the Office of Management andBudget.ThetitlesforallMA’salsocontainthenameofeachState in which the area is located. Each metropolitan areais assigned a four-digit FIPS code, in alphabetical ordernationwide. If the fourth digit of the code is a ‘‘2,’’ itidentifies a CMSA. Additionally, there is a separate set oftwo-digit codes for CMSA’s, also assigned alphabetically.OUTLYING AREAS OF THE UNITED STATESThe Census Bureau treats the outlying areas as thestatistical equivalents of States for the <strong>1990</strong> census. Theoutlying areas are American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealthof the Northern Mariana <strong>Island</strong>s (Northern Mariana<strong>Island</strong>s), Republic of Palau (Palau), Puerto Rico, and theVirgin <strong>Island</strong>s of the United States (Virgin <strong>Island</strong>s). Geographicdefinitions specific to each outlying area areshown in appendix A of the text in the data products foreach area.PLACEPlaces, for the reporting of decennial census data,include census designated places and incorporated places.Each place is assigned a four-digit census code that isunique within State. Each place is also assigned a five-digitFIPS code that is unique within State. Both the census andFIPS codes are assigned based on alphabetical orderwithin State. Consolidated cities (see below) are assigneda one-character alphabetical census code that is uniquenationwide and a five-digit FIPS code that is unique withinState.Census Designated Place (CDP)Census designated places (CDP’s) are delineated forthe decennial census as the statistical counterparts ofincorporated places. CDP’s comprise densely settled concentrationsof population that are identifiable by name, butare not legally incorporated places. Their boundaries,which usually coincide with visible features or the boundaryof an adjacent incorporated place, have no legal status,nor do these places have officials elected to serve traditionalmunicipal functions. CDP boundaries may changewith changes in the settlement pattern; a CDP with thesame name as in previous censuses does not necessarilyhave the same boundaries.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/ appaBeginning with the 1950 census, the Census Bureau, incooperation with State agencies and local census statisticalareas committees, has identified and delineated boundariesfor CDP’s. In the <strong>1990</strong> census, the name of eachsuch 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 ‘‘unincorporatedplace.’’To qualify as a CDP for the <strong>1990</strong> census, an unincorporatedcommunity must have met the following criteria:1. In all States except Alaska and Hawaii, the CensusBureau uses three population size criteria to designatea CDP. These criteria are:a. 1,000 or more persons if outside the boundaries ofan urbanized area (UA) delineated for the 1980census or a subsequent special census.b. 2,500 or more persons if inside the boundaries ofa UA delineated for the 1980 census or a subsequentspecial census.c. 250 or more persons if outside the boundaries of aUA delineated for the 1980 census or a subsequentspecial census, and within the official boundariesof an American Indian reservation recognizedfor the <strong>1990</strong> census.2. In Alaska, 25 or more persons if outside a UA, and2,500 or more persons if inside a UA delineated for the1980 census or a subsequent special census.3. In Hawaii, 300 or more persons, regardless of whetherthe community is inside or outside a UA.For the <strong>1990</strong> census, CDP’s qualified on the basis of thepopulation counts prepared for the <strong>1990</strong> Postcensus LocalReview Program. Because these counts were subject tochange, a few CDP’s may have final population countslower than the minimums shown above.Hawaii is the only State with no incorporated placesrecognized by the Bureau of the Census. All places shownfor Hawaii in the data products are CDP’s. By agreementwith the State of Hawaii, the Census Bureau does not showdata separately for the city of Honolulu, which is coextensivewith Honolulu County.Consolidated CityA consolidated government is a unit of local governmentfor which the functions of an incorporated place andits county or minor civil division (MCD) have merged. Thelegal aspects of this action may result in both the primaryincorporated place and the county or MCD continuing toexist as legal entities, even though the county or MCDperforms few or no governmental functions and has few orno elected officials. Where this occurs, and where one ormore other incorporated places in the county or MCDcontinue to function as separate governments, even thoughthey have been included in the consolidated government,the primary incorporated place is referred to as a ‘‘consolidatedcity.’’The data presentation for consolidated cities variesdepending upon the geographic presentation. In hierarchicalpresentations, consolidated cities are not shown. Thesepresentations include the semi-independent places andthe ‘‘consolidated city (remainder).’’ Where the consolidatedcity is coextensive with a county or county subdivision,the data shown for those areas in hierarchicalpresentations are equivalent to those for the consolidatedgovernment.For inventory geographic presentations, the consolidatedcity appears at the end of the listing of places. Thedata for the consolidated city include places that are partoftheconsolidatedcity.The‘‘consolidatedcity(remainder)’’is the portion of the consolidated government minusthe semi-independent places, and is shown in alphabeticalsequence with other places.In summary presentations by size of place, the consolidatedcity is not included. The places semi-independent ofconsolidated cities are categorized by their size, as is the‘‘consolidated city (remainder).’’Each consolidated city is assigned a one-characteralphabetic census code. Each consolidated city also isassigned 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 afive-digit FIPS place code that are unique within State.Both the census and FIPS codes are assigned based onalphabetical order within State.Incorporated PlaceIncorporated places recognized in <strong>1990</strong> census dataproducts are those reported to the Census Bureau aslegally in existence on January 1, <strong>1990</strong> under the laws oftheir respective States as cities, boroughs, towns, andvillages, with the following exceptions: the towns in theNew England States, New York, and Wisconsin, and theboroughs in New York are recognized as minor civildivisions for census purposes; the boroughs in Alaska arecounty equivalents.POPULATION OR HOUSING UNIT DENSITYPopulation or housing unit density is computed bydividing the total population or housing units of a geographicunit (for example, United States, State, county,place) by its land area measured in square kilometers orsquare miles. Density is expressed as both ‘‘persons (orhousing units) per square kilometer’’ and ‘‘persons (orhousing units) per square mile’’ of land area in <strong>1990</strong>census printed reports.A–10 AREA CLASSIFICATIONS

The District of Columbia is treated as astatistical equivalent of a State for census purposes. Thefour census regions, nine census divisions, and theircomponent States are shown under ‘‘CENSUS REGIONAND CENSUS DIVISION’’ in this appendix.The Census Bureau treats the outlying areas as Stateequivalents for the <strong>1990</strong> census. The outlying areas areAmerican Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana <strong>Island</strong>s,Palau, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin <strong>Island</strong>s of the UnitedStates. Geographic definitions specific to each outlyingarea are shown in appendix A in the data products for eacharea.Each State and equivalent is assigned a two-digit numericFederal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) code inalphabetical order by State name, followed by the outlyingarea names. Each State and equivalent area also isassigned a two-digit census code. This code is assignedon the basis of the geographic sequence of each Statewithin each census division; the first digit of the code is thecode for the respective division. Puerto Rico, the Virgin<strong>Island</strong>s, and the outlying areas of the Pacific are assigned‘‘0’’ as the division code. Each State and equivalent areaalso is assigned the two-letter FIPS/ United States PostalService (USPS) code.In 12 selected States (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts,Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey,New York, Pennsylvania, <strong>Rhode</strong> <strong>Island</strong>, Vermont, andWisconsin), the minor civil divisions also serve as generalpurposelocal governments. The Census Bureau presentsdata for these minor civil divisions in all data products inwhich it provides data for places.TIGERTIGER is an acronym for the new digital (computerreadable)geographic data base that automates the mappingand related geographic activities required to supportthe Census Bureau’s census and survey programs. TheCensus Bureau developed the Topologically IntegratedGeographic Encoding and Referencing (TIGER) System toautomate the geographic support processes needed tomeet the major geographic needs of the <strong>1990</strong> census:producing the cartographic products to support data collectionand map publication, providing the geographicstructure for tabulation and publication of the collecteddata, assigning residential and employer addresses to theirgeographic location and relating those locations to theCensus Bureau’s geographic units, and so forth. Thecontent of the TIGER data base is made available to thepublic through a variety of ‘‘TIGER Extract’’ files that maybe obtained from the Data User Services Division, U.S.Bureau of the Census, Washington, DC 20233.UNITED STATESThe United States comprises the 50 States and theDistrict of Columbia. In addition, the Census Bureau treatsAREA CLASSIFICATIONSthe outlying areas as statistical equivalents of States forthe <strong>1990</strong> census. The outlying areas include AmericanSamoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana <strong>Island</strong>s, Palau, PuertoRico, and the Virgin <strong>Island</strong>s.URBAN AND RURALThe Census Bureau defines ‘‘urban’’ for the <strong>1990</strong>census as comprising all territory, population, and housingunits in urbanized areas and in places of 2,500 or morepersons outside urbanized areas. More specifically, ‘‘urban’’consists of territory, persons, and housing units in:1. Places of 2,500 or more persons incorporated ascities, villages, boroughs (except in Alaska and NewYork), and towns (except in the six New EnglandStates, New York, and Wisconsin), but excluding therural portions of ‘‘extended cities.’’2. Census designated places of 2,500 or more persons.3. Other territory, incorporated or unincorporated, includedin urbanized areas.Territory, population, and housing units not classified asurban constitute ‘‘rural.’’ In the 100-percent data products,‘‘rural’’ is divided into ‘‘places of less than 2,500’’ and ‘‘notin places.’’ The ‘‘not in places’’ category comprises ‘‘rural’’outside incorporated and census designated places andthe rural portions of extended cities. In many data products,the term ‘‘other rural’’ is used; ‘‘other rural’’ is aresidual category specific to the classification of the rural ineach data product.In the sample data products, rural population and housingunits are subdivided into ‘‘rural farm’’ and ‘‘ruralnonfarm.’’ ‘‘Rural farm’’ comprises all rural householdsand housing units on farms (places from which $1,000 ormore of agricultural products were sold in 1989); ‘‘ruralnonfarm’’ comprises the remaining rural.The urban and rural classification cuts across the otherhierarchies; for example, there is generally both urban andrural territory within both metropolitan and nonmetropolitanareas.In censuses prior to 1950, ‘‘urban’’ comprised all territory,persons, and housing units in incorporated places of2,500 or more persons, and in areas (usually minor civildivisions) classified as urban under special rules relating topopulation size and density. The definition of urban thatrestricted itself to incorporated places having 2,500 ormore persons excluded many large, densely settled areasmerely because they were not incorporated. Prior to the1950 census, the Census Bureau attempted to avoid someof the more obvious omissions by classifying selectedareas as ‘‘urban under special rules.’’ Even with theserules, however, many large, closely built-up areas wereexcluded from the urban category.To improve its measure of urban territory, population,and housing units, the Census Bureau adopted the conceptof the urbanized area and delineated boundaries forA–11

Urban was defined as territory,persons, and housing units in urbanized areas and, outsideurbanized areas, in all places, incorporated or unincorporated,that had 2,500 or more persons. With the followingthree exceptions, the 1950 census definition of urban hascontinued substantially unchanged. First, in the 1960 census(but not in the 1970, 1980, or <strong>1990</strong> censuses), certaintowns in the New England States, townships in NewJersey and Pennsylvania, and Arlington County, Virginia,were designated as urban. However, most of these ‘‘specialrule’’ areas would have been classified as urbananyway because they were included in an urbanized areaor in an unincorporated place of 2,500 or more persons.Second, ‘‘extended cities’’ were identified for the 1970,1980, and <strong>1990</strong> censuses. Extended cities primarily affectthe figures for urban and rural territory (area), but have verylittle effect on the urban and rural population and housingunits at the national and State levels— although for someindividual counties and urbanized areas, the effects havebeen more evident. Third, changes since the 1970 censusin the criteria for defining urbanized areas have permittedthese areas to be defined around smaller centers.Documentation of the urbanized area and extended citycriteria is available from the Chief, Geography Division,U.S. Bureau of the Census, Washington, DC 20233.Extended CitySince the 1960 census, there has been a trend in someStates toward the extension of city boundaries to includeterritory that is essentially rural in character. The classificationof all the population and living quarters of suchplaces as urban would include in the urban designationterritory, persons, and housing units whose environment isprimarily rural. For the 1970, 1980, and <strong>1990</strong> censuses, theCensus Bureau identified as rural such territory and itspopulation and housing units for each extended city whoseclosely settled area was located in an urbanized area. Forthe <strong>1990</strong> census, this classification also has been appliedto certain places outside urbanized areas.In summary presentations by size of place, the urbanportion of an extended city is classified by the population ofthe entire place; the rural portion is included in ‘‘otherrural.’’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 UAcomprises one or more places (‘‘central place’’) and theadjacent densely settled surrounding territory (‘‘urban fringe’’)that together have a minimum of 50,000 persons. Theurban fringe generally consists of contiguous territoryhaving a density of least 1,000 persons per square mile.The urban fringe also includes outlying territory of suchdensity if it was connected to the core of the contiguousarea by road and is within 1 1/ 2 road miles of that core, orwithin5roadmilesofthecorebutseparatedbywaterorother undevelopable territory. Other territory with a populationdensity of fewer than 1,000 people per square mile isincluded in the urban fringe if it eliminates an enclave orcloses an indentation in the boundary of the urbanizedarea. The population density is determined by (1) outsideof a place, one or more contiguous census blocks with apopulation density of at least 1,000 persons per squaremile or (2) inclusion of a place containing census blocksthat have at least 50 percent of the population of the placeand a density of at least 1,000 persons per square mile.The complete criteria are available from the Chief, GeographyDivision, U.S. Bureau of the Census, Washington,DC 20233.Urbanized Area Central PlaceOne or more central places function as the dominantcenters of each UA. The identification of a UA centralplace permits the comparison of this dominant center withthe remaining territory in the UA. There is no limit on thenumber of central places, and not all central places arenecessarily included in the UA title. UA central placesinclude:1. Each place entirely (or partially, if the place is anextended city) within the UA that is a central city of ametropolitan area (MA).2. If the UA does not contain an MA central city or islocated outside of an MA, the central place(s) isdetermined by population size.Urbanized Area Title and CodeThe title of a UA identifies those places that are mostimportant within the UA; it links the UA to the encompassingMA, where appropriate. If a single MA includes most ofthe UA, the title and code of the UA generally are the sameasthetitleandcodeoftheMA.IftheUAisnotmostlyincluded in a single MA, if it does not include any place thatis a central city of the encompassing MA, or if it is notlocatedinanMA,theCensusBureauusesthepopulationsize of the included places, with a preference for incorporatedplaces, to determine the UA title. The name of eachState in which the UA is located also is in each UA title.The numeric code used to identify each UA is the sameas the code for the mostly encompassing MA (includingCMSA and PMSA). If MA title cities represent multipleUA’s, or the UA title city does not correspond to the firstname of an MA title, the Census Bureau assigns a codebased on the alphabetical sequence of the UA title inrelationship to the other UA and MA titles.VOTING DISTRICT (VTD)A voting district (VTD) is any of a variety of types ofareas (for example, election districts, precincts, wards,legislative districts) established by State and local governmentsfor purposes of elections.

The entities identified as VTD’s are not necessarilythose legally or currently established. Also, to meet the‘‘whole block’’ criterion, a State may have had to adjustVTD boundaries to nearby block boundaries. Therefore,the VTD’s shown on the <strong>1990</strong> census tapes, listings, andmaps may not represent the actual VTD’s in effect at thetime of the census. In the 1980 census, VTD’s werereferred to as ‘‘election precincts.’’Each VTD is assigned a four-character alphanumericcode that is unique within each county. The code ‘‘ZZZZ’’is assigned to nonparticipating areas; the Census Bureaureports data for areas coded ‘‘ZZZZ.’’ZIP CODE ®ZIP Codes are administrative units established by theUnited States Postal Service (USPS) for the distribution ofmail. ZIP Codes serve addresses for the most efficientdelivery of mail, and therefore generally do not respectpolitical or census statistical area boundaries. ZIP Codesusually do not have clearly identifiable boundaries, oftenserve a continually changing area, are changed periodicallyto meet postal requirements, and do not cover all theland area of the United States. ZIP Codes are identified byfive-digit codes assigned by the USPS. The first three digitsidentify a major city or sectional distribution center, and thelast two digits generally signify a specific post office’sdelivery area or point.

to questionnaireitem 5, which was asked of all persons. The ageclassificationisbasedontheageofthepersonincompleteyears as of April 1, <strong>1990</strong>. The age response inquestion 5a was used normally to represent a person’sage. However, when the age response was unacceptableor unavailable, a person’s age was derived from an acceptableyear-of-birth response in question 5b.Data on age are used to determine the applicability ofother questions for a person and to classify other characteristicsin census tabulations. Age data are needed tointerpret most social and economic characteristics used toplan and examine many programs and policies. Therefore,age is tabulated by single years of age and by manydifferent groupings, such as 5-year age groups.Some tabulations are shown by the age of the householder.These data were derived from the age responsesfor each householder. (For more information on householder,see the discussion under ‘‘Household Type andRelationship.’’)Median Age—This measure divides the age distributioninto two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below themedian value and one-half above the value. Generally,B–1


JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 2 SESS: 109 OUTPUT: Mon Jul 12 09:35:09 1993 / pssw01/ disk2/ 90dec/ cp2/ usst/ appbmedian age is computed on the basis of more detailed ageintervals than are shown in some census publications;thus, a median based on a less detailed distribution maydiffer slightly from a corresponding median for the samepopulation based on a more detailed distribution. (Formore information on medians, see the discussion under‘‘Derived Measures.’’)Limitation of the Data—Counts in 1970 and 1980 forpersons 100 years old and over were substantially overstated.Improvements were made in the questionnairedesign, in the allocation procedures, and to the respondentinstruction guide to attempt to minimize this problem forthe <strong>1990</strong> census.Review of detailed <strong>1990</strong> census information indicatedthat respondents tended to provide their age as of the dateof completion of the questionnaire, not their age as of April1, <strong>1990</strong>. In addition, there may have been a tendency forrespondents to round their age up if they were close tohaving a birthday. It is likely that approximately 10 percentof persons in most age groups are actually 1 year younger.For most single years of age, the misstatements arelargely offsetting. The problem is most pronounced atage 0 because persons lost to age 1 may not have beenfully offset by the inclusion of babies born after April 1,<strong>1990</strong>, and because there may have been more roundingup to age 1 to avoid reporting age as 0 years. (Age incomplete months was not collected for infants underage 1.)The reporting of age 1 year older than age on April 1,<strong>1990</strong>, is likely to have been greater in areas where thecensus data were collected later in <strong>1990</strong>. The magnitudeof this problem was much less in the three previouscensuses where age was typically derived from respondentdata on year of birth and quarter of birth. (For moreinformation on the design of the age question, see thesection below that discusses ‘‘Comparability.’’)Comparability—Age data have been collected in everycensus. For the first time since 1950, the <strong>1990</strong> data are notavailable by quarter year of age. This change was made sothat coded information could be obtained for both age andyear of birth. In each census since 1940, the age of aperson was assigned when it was not reported. In censusesbefore 1940, with the exception of 1880, persons ofunknown age were shown as a separate category. Since1960, assignment of unknown age has been performed bya general procedure described as ‘‘imputation.’’ The specificprocedures for imputing age have been different ineach census. (For more information on imputation, seeAppendix C, Accuracy of the Data.)ANCESTRYThe data on ancestry were derived from answers toquestionnaire item 13, which was asked of a sample ofpersons. The question was based on self-identification; thedata on ancestry represent self-classification by peopleaccording to the ancestry group(s) with which they mostclosely identify. Ancestry refers to a person’s ethnic originor descent, ‘‘roots,’’ or heritage or the place of birth of theperson or the person’s parents or ancestors before theirarrival in the United States. Some ethnic identities, such as‘‘Egyptian’’ or ‘‘Polish’’ can be traced to geographic areasoutside the United States, while other ethnicities such as‘‘Pennsylvania Dutch’’ or ‘‘Cajun’’ evolved in the UnitedStates.The intent of the ancestry question was not to measurethe degree of attachment the respondent had to a particularethnicity. For example, a response of ‘‘Irish’’ mightreflect total involvement in an ‘‘Irish’’ community or only amemory of ancestors several generations removed fromthe individual.The Census Bureau coded the responses through anautomated review, edit, and coding operation. The openendedwrite-in ancestry item was coded by subject-matterspecialists into a numeric representation using a code listcontaining over 1,000 categories. The <strong>1990</strong> code listreflects the results of the Census Bureau’s own researchand consultations with many ethnic experts. Many decisionswere made to determine the classification of responses.These decisions affected the grouping of the tabulateddata. For example, the ‘‘Assyrian’’ category includes bothresponses of ‘‘Assyrian’’ and ‘‘Chaldean.’’The ancestry question allowed respondents to reportoneormoreancestrygroups.Whilealargenumberofrespondents listed a single ancestry, the majority of answersincluded more than one ethnic entry. Generally, only thefirst two responses reported were coded in <strong>1990</strong>. If aresponse was in terms of a dual ancestry, for example,Irish-English, the person was assigned two codes, in thiscase one for Irish and another for English.However, in certain cases, multiple responses such as‘‘French Canadian,’’ ‘‘Scotch-Irish,’’ ‘‘Greek Cypriote,’’ and‘‘Black Dutch’’ were assigned a single code reflecting theirstatus as unique groups. If a person reported one of theseunique groups in addition to another group, for example,‘‘Scotch-Irish English,’’ resulting in three terms, that personreceived one code for the unique group (‘‘Scotch-Irish’’) and another one for the remaining group (‘‘English’’).If a person reported ‘‘English Irish French,’’ only Englishand Irish were coded. Certain combinations of ancestrieswhere the ancestry group is a part of another, such as‘‘German-Bavarian,’’ the responses were coded as a singleancestry using the smaller group (‘‘Bavarian’’). Also,responses such as ‘‘Polish-American’’ or ‘‘Italian-American’’were coded and tabulated as a single entry (‘‘Polish’’ or‘‘Italian’’).The Census Bureau accepted ‘‘American’’ as a uniqueethnicity if it was given alone, with an ambiguous response,or with State names. If the respondent listed any otherethnic identity such as ‘‘Italian American,’’ generally the‘‘American’’ portion of the response was not coded. However,distinct groups such as ‘‘American Indian,’’ ‘‘MexicanAmerican,’’ and ‘‘African American’’ were coded and identifiedseparately because they represented groups whoB–2 DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICS

Included in thiscategory are persons with multiple-term responsessuch as ‘‘Scotch-Irish’’ who are assigned a singlecode.Multiple Ancestries Reported—Includes all personswho reported more than one group and were assignedtwo ancestry codes.Ancestry Unclassified—Includes all persons who provideda response that could not be assigned anancestry code because they provided nonsensicalentries or religious responses.Presentations Based on Responses:Total Ancestries Reported—Includes the total numberof ancestries reported and coded. If a personreported a multiple ancestry such as ‘‘French Danish,’’that response was counted twice in the tabulations—oncein the ‘‘French’’ category and again inthe ‘‘Danish’’ category. Thus, the sum of the countsin this type of presentation is not the total populationbut the total of all responses.First Ancestry Reported—Includes the first responseof all persons who reported at least one codeableentry. For example, in this category, the count for‘‘Danish’’ would include all those who reported onlyDanish and those who reported Danish first and thensome other group.Second Ancestry Reported—Includes the secondresponse of all persons who reported a multipleancestry. Thus, the count for ‘‘Danish’’ in this categoryincludes all persons who reported Danish as thesecond response, regardless of the first responseprovided.The Census Bureau identified hundreds of ethnic groupsin the <strong>1990</strong> census. However, it was impossible to showinformation for every group in all census tabulations becauseof space constraints. Publications such as the <strong>1990</strong> CP-2,Social and Economic Characteristics and the <strong>1990</strong> CPH-3,Population and Housing Characteristics for Census Tractsand Block Numbering Areas reports show a limited numberDEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICSof groups based on the number reported and the advicereceived from experts. A more complete distribution ofgroups is presented in the <strong>1990</strong> Summary Tape File 4,supplementary reports, and a special subject report onancestry. In addition, groups identified specifically in thequestions on race and Hispanic origin (for example, Japanese,Laotian, Mexican, Cuban, and Spaniard), in general,are not shown separately in ancestry tabulations.Limitation of the Data—Although some experts considerreligious affiliation a component of ethnic identity, theancestry question was not designed to collect any informationconcerning religion. The Bureau of the Census isprohibited from collecting information on religion. Thus, if areligion was given as an answer to the ancestry question,it was coded as an ‘‘Other’’ response.Comparability—A question on ancestry was first asked inthe 1980 census. Although there were no comparable dataprior to the 1980 census, related information on ethnicitywas collected through questions on parental birthplace,own birthplace, and language which were included inprevious censuses. Unlike other census questions, therewas no imputation for nonresponse to the ancestry question.In <strong>1990</strong>, respondents were allowed to report more thanone ancestry group; however, only the first two ancestrygroups identified were coded. In 1980, the Census Bureauattempted to code a third ancestry for selected tripleancestryresponses.New categories such as ‘‘Arab’’ and ‘‘West Indian’’were added to the <strong>1990</strong> question to meet important dataneeds. The ‘‘West Indian’’ category excluded ‘‘Hispanic’’groups such as ‘‘Puerto Rican’’ and ‘‘Cuban’’ that wereidentified primarily through the question on Hispanic origin.In <strong>1990</strong>, the ancestry group, ‘‘American’’ is recognized andtabulated as a unique ethnicity. In 1980, ‘‘American’’ wastabulated but included under the category ‘‘Ancestry notspecified.’’A major improvement in the <strong>1990</strong> census was the use ofan automated coding system for ancestry responses. Theautomated coding system used in the <strong>1990</strong> census greatlyreduced the potential for error associated with a clericalreview. Specialists with a thorough knowledge of thesubject matter reviewed, edited, coded, and resolvedinconsistent or incomplete responses.CITIZENSHIPThe data on citizenship were derived from answers toquestionnaire item 9, which was asked of a sample ofpersons.Citizen—Persons who indicated that they were nativebornand foreign-born persons who indicated that theyhave become naturalized. (For more information on nativeand foreign born, see the discussion under ‘‘Place ofBirth.’’)B–3

The 1980 question was asked of a sampleof the foreign-born population. In <strong>1990</strong>, both native andforeign-born persons who received the long-form questionnairewere asked to respond to the citizenship question.EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTData on educational attainment were derived fromanswers to questionnaire item 12, which was asked of asample of persons. Data are tabulated as attainment forpersons 15 years old and over. Persons are classifiedaccording to the highest level of school completed or thehighest degree received. The question included instructionsto report the level of the previous grade attended orthe highest degree received for persons currently enrolledin school. The question included response categorieswhich allowed persons to report completing the 12th gradewithout receiving a high school diploma, and which instructedrespondents to report as ‘‘high school graduate(s)’’—personswho received either a high school diploma or theequivalent, for example, passed the Test of GeneralEducational Development (G.E.D.), and did not attendcollege. (On the Military Census Report questionnaire, thelowest response category was ‘‘Less than 9th grade.’’)Instructions included in the <strong>1990</strong> respondent instructionguide, which was mailed with the census questionnaire,further specified that schooling completed in foreign orungraded school systems should be reported as theequivalent level of schooling in the regular Americansystem; that vocational certificates or diplomas from vocational,trade, or business schools or colleges were not tobe reported unless they were college level degrees; andthat honorary degrees were not to be reported. Theinstructions gave ‘‘medicine, dentistry, chiropractic, optometry,osteopathic medicine, pharmacy, podiatry, veterinarymedicine, law, and theology’’ as examples of professionalschool degrees, and specifically excluded ‘‘barber school,cosmetology, or other training for a specific trade’’ fromthe professional school category. The order in which theywere listed suggested that doctorate degrees were ‘‘higher’’than professional school degrees, which were ‘‘higher’’than master’s degrees.Persons who did not report educational attainment wereassigned the attainment of a person of the same age, raceor Spanish origin, and sex who resided in the same or anearby area. Persons who filled more than one circle wereedited to the highest level or degree reported.High School Graduate or Higher—Includes personswhose highest degree was a high school diploma orits equivalent, persons who attended college or professionalschool, and persons who received a college,university, or professional degree. Persons whoreported completing the 12th grade but not receivinga diploma are not included.Not Enrolled, Not High School Graduate—Includespersons of compulsory school attendance age orabovewhowerenotenrolledinschoolandwerenothigh school graduates; these persons may be takento be ‘‘high school dropouts.’’ There is no restrictionon when they ‘‘dropped out’’ of school, and they mayhave never attended high school.In prior censuses, ‘‘Median school years completed’’was used as a summary measure of educational attainment.In <strong>1990</strong>, the median can only be calculated forgroups of which less than half the members have attendedcollege. ‘‘Percent high school graduate or higher’’ and‘‘Percent bachelor’s degree or higher’’ are summary measureswhich can be calculated from the present data andoffer quite readily interpretable measures of differencesbetween population subgroups. To make comparisonsover time, ‘‘Percent high school graduate or higher’’ can becalculated and ‘‘Percent bachelor’s degree or higher’’ canbe approximated with data from previous censuses.Comparability—From 1840 to 1930, the census measurededucational attainment by means of a basic literacyquestion. In 1940, a single question was asked on highestgrade of school completed. In the censuses of 1950through 1980, a two-part question asking highest grade ofschool attended and whether that grade was finished wasused to construct highest grade or year of school completed.For persons who have not attended college, theresponse categories in the <strong>1990</strong> educational attainmentquestion should produce data which are comparable todata on highest grade completed from earlier censuses.The response categories for persons who have attendedcollege were modified from earlier censuses becausethere was some ambiguity in interpreting responses interms of the number of years of college completed. Forinstance, it was not clear whether ‘‘completed the fourthB–4 DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICS

Research conductedshortly before the census suggests that theseterms were more distinct in <strong>1990</strong> than in earlier decades,and this change may have threatened the ability to estimatethe number of ‘‘college graduates’’ from the numberof persons reported as having completed the fourth or ahigher year of college. It was even more difficult to makeinferences about post-baccalaureate degrees and ‘‘Associate’’degrees from highest year of college completed.Thus, comparisons of post-secondary educational attainmentin this and earlier censuses should be made withgreat caution.In the 1960 and subsequent censuses, persons forwhom educational attainment was not reported were assignedthe same attainment level as a similar person whoseresidence was in the same or a nearby area. In the 1940and 1950 censuses, persons for whom educational attainmentwas not reported were not allocated.EMPLOYMENT STATUSThe data on employment status were derived fromanswers to questionnaire items 21, 25, and 26, which wereasked of a sample of persons. The series of questions onemployment status was asked of all persons 15 years oldand over and was designed to identify, in this sequence:(1) persons who worked at any time during the referenceweek; (2) persons who did not work during the referenceweek but who had jobs or businesses from which theywere temporarily absent (excluding layoff); (3) persons onlayoff; and (4) persons who did not work during thereference week, but who were looking for work during thelast four weeks and were available for work during thereference week. (For more information, see the discussionunder ‘‘Reference Week.’’)The employment status data shown in this and other<strong>1990</strong> census tabulations relate to persons 16 years oldand over. Some tabulations showing employment status,however, include persons 15 years old. By definition, thesepersons are classified as ‘‘Not in Labor Force.’’. In the1940, 1950, and 1960 censuses, employment status datawere presented for persons 14 years old and over. Thechange in the universe was made in 1970 to agree with theofficial measurement of the labor force as revised inJanuary 1967 by the U.S. Department of Labor. The 1970census was the last to show employment data for persons14 and 15 years old.Employed—All civilians 16 years old and over who wereeither (1) ‘‘at work’’—those who did any work at all duringthe reference week as paid employees, worked in theirown business or profession, worked on their own farm, orworked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers on a familyfarm or in a family business; or (2) were ‘‘with a job but notat work’’—those who did not work during the referenceweek but had jobs or businesses from which they wereDEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICStemporarily absent due to illness, bad weather, industrialdispute, vacation, or other personal reasons. Excludedfrom the employed are persons whose only activity consistedof work around the house or unpaid volunteer workfor religious, charitable, and similar organizations; alsoexcluded are persons on active duty in the United StatesArmed Forces.Unemployed—All civilians 16 years old and over areclassified as unemployed if they (1) were neither ‘‘at work’’nor ‘‘with a job but not at work’’ during the reference week,and (2) were looking for work during the last 4 weeks, and(3) were available to accept a job. Also included asunemployed are civilians who did not work at all during thereference week and were waiting to be called back to a jobfrom which they had been laid off. Examples of job seekingactivities are:• Registering at a public or private employment office• Meeting with prospective employers• Investigating possibilities for starting a professionalpractice or opening a business• Placing or answering advertisements• Writing letters of application• Being on a union or professional registerCivilian Labor Force—Consists of persons classified asemployed or unemployed in accordance with the criteriadescribed above.Experienced Unemployed—These are unemployed personswho have worked at any time in the past.Experienced Civilian Labor Force—Consists of the employedand the experienced unemployed.Labor Force—All persons classified in the civilian laborforce plus members of the U.S. Armed Forces (persons onactive duty with the United States Army, Air Force, Navy,Marine Corps, or Coast Guard).Not in Labor Force—All persons 16 years old and overwho are not classified as members of the labor force. Thiscategory consists mainly of students, housewives, retiredworkers, seasonal workers enumerated in an off seasonwho were not looking for work, institutionalized persons,and persons doing only incidental unpaid family work (lessthan 15 hours during the reference week).Worker—This term appears in connection with severalsubjects: journey-to-work items, class of worker, weeksworked in 1989, and number of workers in family in 1989.Its meaning varies and, therefore, should be determined ineach case by referring to the definition of the subject inwhich it appears.B–5


JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 6 SESS: 109 OUTPUT: Mon Jul 12 09:35:09 1993 / pssw01/ disk2/ 90dec/ cp2/ usst/ appbActual Hours Worked Last Week—All persons whoreported working during the reference week were asked toreport in questionnaire item 21b the number of hours thatthey worked. The statistics on hours worked pertain to thenumber of hours actually worked at all jobs, and do notnecessarily reflect the number of hours typically or usuallyworked or the scheduled number of hours. The concept of‘‘actual hours’’ differs from that of ‘‘usual hours’’ describedbelow. The number of persons who worked only a smallnumber of hours is probably understated since such personssometimes consider themselves as not working.Respondents were asked to include overtime or extrahours worked, but to exclude lunch hours, sick leave, andvacation leave.Limitation of the Data—The census may understate thenumber of employed persons because persons who haveirregular, casual, or unstructured jobs sometimes reportthemselves as not working. The number of employedpersons ‘‘at work’’ is probably overstated in the census(and conversely, the number of employed ‘‘with a job, butnot at work’’ is understated) since some persons onvacation or sick leave erroneously reported themselves asworking. This problem has no effect on the total number ofemployed persons. The reference week for the employmentdata is not the same for all persons. Since personscan change their employment status from one week toanother, the lack of a uniform reference week may meanthat the employment data do not reflect the reality of theemployment situation of any given week. (For more information,see the discussion under ‘‘Reference Week.’’)Comparability—Thequestionnaireitemsandemploymentstatus concepts for the <strong>1990</strong> census are essentially thesame as those used in the 1980 and 1970 censuses.However, these concepts differ in many respects fromthose associated with the 1950 and 1960 censuses.Since employment data from the census are obtainedfrom respondents in households, they differ from statisticsbased on reports from individual business establishments,farm enterprises, and certain government programs. Personsemployed at more than one job are counted onlyonce in the census and are classified according to the jobat which they worked the greatest number of hours duringthe reference week. In statistics based on reports frombusiness and farm establishments, persons who work formore than one establishment may be counted more thanonce. Moreover, some tabulations may exclude privatehousehold workers, unpaid family workers, and self-employedpersons, but may include workers less than 16 years ofage.An additional difference in the data arises from the factthat persons who had a job but were not at work areincluded with the employed in the census statistics, whereasmany of these persons are likely to be excluded fromemployment figures based on establishment payroll reports.Furthermore, the employment status data in census tabulationsinclude persons on the basis of place of residenceregardless of where they work, whereas establishmentdata report persons at their place of work regardless ofwhere they live. This latter consideration is particularlysignificant when comparing data for workers who commutebetween areas.Census data on actual hours worked during the referenceweek may differ from data from other sources. Thecensus measures hours actually worked, whereas somesurveys measure hours paid for by employers. Comparabilityof census actual hours worked data may also beaffected by the nature of the reference week (see ‘‘ReferenceWeek’’).For several reasons, the unemployment figures of theCensus Bureau are not comparable with published figureson unemployment compensation claims. For example,figures on unemployment compensation claims excludepersons who have exhausted their benefit rights, newworkers who have not earned rights to unemploymentinsurance, and persons losing jobs not covered by unemploymentinsurance systems (including some workers inagriculture, domestic services, and religious organizations,and self-employed and unpaid family workers). In addition,the qualifications for drawing unemployment compensationdiffer from the definition of unemployment used by theCensus Bureau. Persons working only a few hours duringthe week and persons with a job but not at work aresometimes eligible for unemployment compensation butare classified as ‘‘Employed’’ in the census. Differences inthe geographical distribution of unemployment data arisebecause the place where claims are filed may not necessarilybe the same as the place of residence of theunemployed worker.The figures on employment status from the decennialcensus are generally comparable with similar data collectedin the Current Population Survey. However, somedifference may exist because of variations in enumerationand processing techniques.FARM POPULATIONThe farm population consists of persons in householdsliving in farm residences. Some persons who are countedon a property classified as a farm (including in some casesfarm workers) are excluded from the farm population. Suchpersons include those who reside in multi-unit buildings orgroup quarters.The data on farm residence were obtained from questionnaireitems H19a and H19b. An occupied one-familyhouse or mobile home is classified as a farm residence if:(1) the housing unit is located on a property of 1 acre ormore, and (2) at least $1,000 worth of agricultural productswere sold from the property in 1989. Group quarters andhousing units that are in multi-unit buildings or vacant arenot included as farm residences.A one-family unit occupied by a tenant householdpaying cash rent for land and buildings is enumerated as afarm residence only if sales of agricultural products from itsB–6 DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICS

A one-familyunit occupied by a tenant household that does not paycash rent is enumerated as a farm residence if theremainder of the farm (including its yard) qualifies as afarm.Farm residence is provided as an independent data itemonly for housing units located in rural areas. It may bederived for housing units in urban areas from the dataitems on acreage and sales of agricultural products on thepublic-use microdata sample (PUMS) files. (For moreinformation on PUMS, see Appendix F, Data Products andUser Assistance.)Comparability—These are the same criteria that wereused to define a farm residence in 1980. In 1960 and 1970,a farm was defined as a place of 10 or more acres with atleast $50 worth of agricultural sales or a place of less than10 acres with at least $250 worth of agricultural sales.Earlier censuses used other definitions. Note that thedefinition of a farm residence differs from the definition ofa farm in the Census of Agriculture (Factfinder for theNation: Agricultural Statistics, Bureau of the Census, 1989).FERTILITYThedataonfertility(alsoreferredtoas‘‘childreneverborn’’) were derived from answers to questionnaire item20,whichwasaskedofasampleofwomen15yearsoldand over regardless of marital status. Stillbirths, stepchildren,and adopted children were excluded from the numberof children ever born. Ever-married women wereinstructed to include all children born to them before andduring their most recent marriage, children no longer living,and children away from home, as well as children whowere still living in the home. Never-married women wereinstructed to include all children born to them.Data are most frequently presented in terms of theaggregate number of children ever born to women in thespecified category and in terms of the rate per 1,000women. For purposes of calculating the aggregate, theopen-ended response category, ‘‘12 or more’’ is assigneda value of 13.Limitation of the Data—Although the data are assumedto be less complete for out-of-wedlock births than for birthsoccurring within marriage, comparisons of 1980 censusdata on the fertility of single women with other censussources and administrative records indicate that no significantdifferences were found between different data sources;that is, 1980 census data on children ever born to singlewomen were complete with no significant understatementsof childbearing.Comparability—Thewordingofthequestiononchildrenever born was the same in <strong>1990</strong> as in 1980. In 1970,however,thequestiononchildreneverbornwasaskedofDEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICSall ever-married women but only of never-married womenwho received self-administered questionnaires. Therefore,rates and numbers of children ever born to single womenin 1970 may be understated. Data presented for childrenever born to ever-married women are comparable for the<strong>1990</strong> census and all previous censuses containing thisquestion.GROUP QUARTERSAll persons not living in households are classified by theCensus Bureau as living in group quarters. Two generalcategories of persons in group quarters are recognized:(1) institutionalized persons and (2) other persons in groupquarters (also referred to as ‘‘noninstitutional group quarters’’).Institutionalized Persons—Includes persons under formallyauthorized, supervised care or custody in institutionsat the time of enumeration. Such persons are classified as‘‘patients or inmates’’ of an institution regardless of theavailability of nursing or medical care, the length of stay, orthe number of persons in the institution. Generally, institutionalizedpersons are restricted to the institutional buildingsand grounds (or must have passes or escorts toleave) and thus have limited interaction with the surroundingcommunity. Also, they are generally under the care oftrained staff who have responsibility for their safekeepingand supervision.Type of Institution—The type of institution was determinedas part of census enumeration activities. For institutionswhich specialize in only one specific type of service,all patients or inmates were given the same classification.For institutions which had multiple types of major services(usually general hospitals and Veterans’ Administrationhospitals), patients were classified according to selectedtypes of wards. For example, in psychiatric wards ofhospitals, patients were classified in ‘‘mental (psychiatric)hospitals’’; in hospital wards for persons with chronicdiseases, patients were classified in ‘‘hospitals for thechronically ill.’’ Each patient or inmate was classified inonly one type of institution. Institutions include the followingtypes:Correctional Institutions—Includes prisons, Federal detentioncenters, military stockades and jails, police lockups,halfway houses, local jails, and other confinement facilities,including work farms.Prisons—Where persons convicted of crimes servetheir sentences. In some census products, the prisonsare classified by two types of control:(1) ‘‘Federal’’ (operated by the Bureau of Prisons ofthe Department of Justice) and (2) ‘‘State.’’ Residentswho are criminally insane were classified onthe basis of where they resided at the time ofB–7

Also included are nursing,convalescent, and rest homes, such as soldiers’, sailors’,veterans’, and fraternal or religious homes for theaged, with or without nursing care. In some censusproducts, nursing homes are classified by type of ownershipas ‘‘Federal,’’ ‘‘State,’’ ‘‘Private not-for-profit,’’and ‘‘Private for profit.’’Mental (Psychiatric) Hospitals—Includes hospitals orwards for the criminally insane not operated by a prison,and psychiatric wards of general hospitals and veterans’hospitals. Patients receive supervised medical/ nursingcare from formally-trained staff. In some census products,mental hospitals are classified by type of ownershipas ‘‘Federal,’’ ‘‘State or local,’’ ‘‘Private,’’ and‘‘Ownership not known.’’Hospitals for Chronically Ill—Includes hospitals for patientswho require long-term care, including those in militaryhospitals and wards for the chronically ill located onmilitary bases; or other hospitals or wards for thechronically ill, which include tuberculosis hospitals orwards, wards in general and Veterans’ Administrationhospitals for the chronically ill, neurological wards,hospices, wards for patients with Hansen’s Disease(leprosy) and other incurable diseases, and other unspecifiedwards for the chronically ill. Patients who had nousual home elsewhere were enumerated as part of theinstitutional population in the wards of general andmilitary hospitals. Most hospital patients are at thehospital temporarily and were enumerated at their usualplace of residence.

These homes may provide social servicesand post-natal care within the facility, or may makearrangements for women to receive such services inthe community. Nursing services are usually availablein the facility.Other Group Homes—Includes persons with no usualhome elsewhere in communes, foster care homes,and job corps centers with 10 or more unrelatedpersons. These types of places provide communalliving quarters, generally for persons who have formedtheir own community in which they have commoninterests and often share or own property jointly.Religious Group Quarters—Includes, primarily, groupquarters for nuns teaching in parochial schools and forpriests living in rectories. It also includes other conventsand monasteries, except those associated with a generalhospital or an institution.College Quarters Off Campus—Includes privately-ownedrooming and boarding houses off campus, if the place isreserved exclusively for occupancy by college studentsand if there are 10 or more unrelated persons. In censusproducts, persons in this category are classified as livinginacollegedormitory.Persons residing in certain other types of living arrangementsare classified as living in ‘‘noninstitutional groupquarters’’ regardless of the number of people sharing theunit. These include persons residing in the following typesof group quarters:College Dormitories—Includes college students in dormitories(provided the dormitory is restricted to studentswho do not have their families living with them), fraternityand sorority houses, and on-campus residentialquarters used exclusively for those in religious orderswho are attending college. Students in privately-ownedrooming and boarding houses off campus are alsoincluded, if the place is reserved exclusively for occupancyby college-level students and if there are 10 ormore unrelated persons.Military Quarters—Includes military personnel living inbarracks and dormitories on base, in transient quarterson base for temporary residents (both civilian andmilitary), and on military ships.

Enumeratorswere instructed not to ask if a person was‘‘homeless.’’ If a person was at one of the locationsbelow on March 20-21, the person was counted asdescribed below. (For more information on the ‘‘Shelterand-Street-Night’’operation, see Appendix D, Collectionand Processing Procedures.) This category is dividedinto four classifications:Emergency Shelters for Homeless Persons (withsleeping facilities)—Includes persons who stayedovernight on March 20, <strong>1990</strong>, in permanent andtemporary emergency housing, missions, hotels/ motels,and flophouses charging $12 or less (excludingtaxes) per night; Salvation Army shelters, hotels, andmotels used entirely for homeless persons regardlessof the nightly rate charged; rooms in hotels andmotels used partially for the homeless; and similarplaces known to have persons who have no usualhome elsewhere staying overnight. If not shownseparately, shelters and group homes that providetemporary sleeping facilities for runaway, neglected,and homeless children are included in this categoryin data products.Shelters for Runaway, Neglected, and HomelessChildren—Includes shelters/ group homes which providetemporary sleeping facilities for juveniles.Visible in Street Locations—Includes street blocksand open public locations designated beforeMarch 20, <strong>1990</strong>, by city and community officials asplaces where the homeless congregate at night. Allpersons found at predesignated street sites from 2a.m. to 4 a.m. and leaving abandoned or boarded-upbuildings from 4 a.m. to 8 a.m. on March 21, <strong>1990</strong>,were enumerated during ‘‘street’’ enumeration, exceptpersons in uniform such as police and personsengaged in obvious money-making activities otherthan begging or panhandling. Enumerators wereinstructed not to ask if a person was ‘‘homeless.’’This cannot be considered a complete count of allpersons living on the streets because those whowere so well hidden that local people did not knowwhere to find them were likely to have been missedas were persons moving about or in places notidentified by local officials. It is also possible thatpersons with homes could have been included in thecount of ‘‘visible in street locations’’ if they werepresent when the enumerator did the enumeration ofa particular block.B–10 DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICS

Most shelters also provide care forchildren of abused women. These shelters may providesocial services, meals, psychiatric treatment,and counseling. In some census products, ‘‘sheltersfor abused women’’ are included in the category‘‘other noninstitutional group quarters.’’Dormitories for Nurses and Interns in General andMilitary Hospitals—Includes group quarters for nursesand other staff members. It excludes patients.Crews of Maritime Vessels—Includes officers, crewmembers, and passengers of maritime U.S. flag vessels.All ocean-going and Great Lakes ships are included.Staff Residents of Institutions—Includes staff residing ingroup quarters on institutional grounds who provideformally-authorized, supervised care or custody for theinstitutionalized population.Other Nonhousehold Living Situations—Includes personswith no usual home elsewhere enumerated duringtransient or ‘‘T-Night’’ enumeration at YMCA’s, YWCA’s,youth hostels, commercial and government-run campgrounds,campgrounds at racetracks, fairs, and carnivals,and similar transient sites.Living Quarters for Victims of Natural Disasters—Includesliving quarters for persons temporarily displacedby natural disasters.Limitation of the Data—Two types of errors can occur inthe classification of ‘‘types of group quarters’’:1. Misclassification of Group Quarters—During the <strong>1990</strong>Special Place Prelist operation, the enumerator determinedthe type of group quarters associated with eachspecial place in their assignment. The enumeratorused the Alphabetical Group Quarters Code List andIndex to the Alphabetical Group Quarters Code List toassign a two-digit code number followed by either an‘‘I,’’ for institutional, or an ‘‘N,’’ for noninstitutional toeach group quarters. In <strong>1990</strong>, unacceptable groupquarter codes were edited. (For more information onediting of unacceptable data, see Appendix C, Accuracyof the Data.)DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICS2. No Classification (unknowns)—The imputation rate fortype of institution was higher in 1980 (23.5 percent)than in 1970 (3.3 percent). Improvements were madeto the <strong>1990</strong> Alphabetical Group Quarters Code List;that is, the inclusion of more group quarters categoriesand an ‘‘Index to the Alphabetical Group QuartersCode List.’’ (For more information on the allocationrates for Type of Institution, see the allocation rates in<strong>1990</strong> CP-1, General Population Characteristics.)In previous censuses, allocation rates for demographiccharacteristics (such as age, sex, race, and marital status)of the institutional population were similar to those for thetotal population. The allocation rates for sample characteristicssuch as school enrollment, highest grade completed,income, and veteran status for the institutional andnoninstitutional group quarters population have been substantiallyhigher than the population in households at leastas far back as the 1960 census. The data, however, havehistorically presented a reasonable picture of the institutionaland noninstitutional group quarters population.Shelter and Street Night (S-Night)—For the <strong>1990</strong> census‘‘Shelter-and-Street-Night’’ operation, persons well hidden,moving about, or in locations enumerators did not visitwere likely to be missed. The number of people missed willnever be known; thus, the <strong>1990</strong> census cannot be consideredto include a definitive count of America’s total homelesspopulation. It does, however, give an idea of relativedifferences among areas of the country. Other componentswere counted as part of regular census procedures.The count of persons in shelters and visible on thestreet could have been affected by many factors. Howmuch the factors affected the count can never be answereddefinitively, but some elements include:1. How well enumerators were trained and how well theyfollowed procedures.2. How well the list of shelter and street locations givento the Census Bureau by the local government reflectedthe actual places that homeless persons stay at night.3. Cities were encouraged to open temporary shelters forcensus night, and many did that and actively encouragedpeople to enter the shelters. Thus, people whomay have been on the street otherwise were inshelters the night of March 20, so that the ratio ofshelter-to-street population could be different thanusual.4. The weather, which was unusually cold in some partsof the country, could affect how likely people were toseek emergency shelter or to be more hidden thanusual if they stayed outdoors.5. The media occasionally interfered with the ability to dothe count.6. How homeless people perceived the census andwhether they wanted to be counted or feared thecensus and hid from it.B–11

As aresult of this change to the institutional definition, maternityhomes are classified as noninstitutional rather than institutionalgroup quarters as in previous censuses. Thefollowing types of other group quarters are classified asinstitutional rather than noninstitutional group quarters:‘‘halfway houses (operated for correctional purposes)’’and ‘‘wards in general and military hospitals for patientswho have no usual home elsewhere,’’ which includesmaternity, neonatal, pediatric, military, and surgical wardsof hospitals, other-purpose wards of hospitals, and wardsfor infectious diseases. These changes should not significantlyaffect the comparability of data with earlier censusesbecause of the relatively small number of personsinvolved.As in 1980, 10 or more unrelated persons living togetherwere classified as living in noninstitutional group quarters.In 1970, the criteria was six or more unrelated persons.Several changes also have occurred in the identificationof specific types of group quarters. For the first time, the<strong>1990</strong> census identifies separately the following types ofcorrectional institutions: persons in halfway houses (operatedfor correctional purposes), military stockades andjails, and police lockups. In <strong>1990</strong>, tuberculosis hospitals orwards are included with hospitals for the chronically ill; in1980, they were shown separately. For <strong>1990</strong>, the noninstitutionalgroup quarters category, ‘‘Group homes’’ is furtherclassified as: group homes for drug/ alcohol abuse; maternityhomes (for unwed mothers), group homes for thementally ill, group homes for the mentally retarded, andgroup homes for the physically handicapped. Personsliving in communes, foster-care homes, and job corpscenters are classified with ‘‘Other group homes’’ only if 10or more unrelated persons share the unit; otherwise, theyare classified as housing units.In <strong>1990</strong>, workers’ dormitories were classified as groupquarters regardless of the number of persons sharing thedorm. In 1980, 10 or more unrelated persons had to sharethe dorm for it to be classified as a group quarters. In 1960,data on persons in military barracks were shown only formen. In subsequent censuses, they include both men andwomen.In <strong>1990</strong> census data products, the phrase ‘‘inmates ofinstitutions’’ was changed to ‘‘institutionalized persons.’’Also, persons living in noninstitutional group quarters werereferred to as ‘‘other persons in group quarters,’’ and thephrase ‘‘staff residents’’ was used for staff living in institutions.In <strong>1990</strong>, there are additional institutional categories andnoninstitutional group quarters categories compared withthe 1980 census. The institutional categories added include‘‘hospitals and wards for drug/ alcohol abuse’’ and ‘‘militaryhospitals for the chronically ill.’’ The noninstitutionalgroup quarters categories added include emergency sheltersfor homeless persons; shelters for runaway, neglected,and homeless children; shelters for abused women; andvisible-in-street locations. Each of these noninstitutionalgroup quarters categories was enumerated on March20-21, <strong>1990</strong>, during the ‘‘Shelter-and-Street-Night’’ operation.(For more information on the ‘‘Shelter-and-Street-Night’’ operation, see Appendix D, Collection and ProcessingProcedures.)HISPANIC ORIGINThe data on Spanish/ Hispanic origin were derived fromanswers to questionnaire item 7, which was asked of allpersons. Persons of Hispanic origin are those who classifiedthemselves in one of the specific Hispanic origincategories listed on the questionnaire—‘‘Mexican,’’ ‘‘PuertoRican,’’ or ‘‘Cuban’’—as well as those who indicated thatthey were of ‘‘other Spanish/ Hispanic’’ origin. Persons of‘‘Other Spanish/ Hispanic’’ origin are those whose originsare from Spain, the Spanish-speaking countries of Centralor South America, or the Dominican Republic, or they arepersons of Hispanic origin identifying themselves generallyas 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’sparents or ancestors before their arrival in the UnitedStates. Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race.Some tabulations are shown by the Hispanic origin ofthe 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 thediscussion of householder under ‘‘Household Type andRelationship.’’)During direct interviews conducted by enumerators, if aperson could not provide a single origin response, he orshe was asked to select, based on self-identification, thegroup which best described his or her origin or descent. Ifa person could not provide a single group, the origin of theperson’s mother was used. If a single group could not beprovided for the person’s mother, the first origin reportedby the person was used.If any household member failed to respond to theSpanish/ Hispanic origin question, a response was assignedby the computer according to the reported entries of otherhousehold members by using specific rules of precedenceof household relationship. In the processing of sampleB–12 DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICS


JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 13 SESS: 109 OUTPUT: Mon Jul 12 09:35:09 1993 / pssw01/ disk2/ 90dec/ cp2/ usst/ appbquestionnaires, responses to other questions on the questionnaire,such as ancestry and place of birth, were used toassign an origin before any reference was made to theorigin reported by other household members. If an originwas not entered for any household member, an origin wasassigned from another household according to the race ofthe householder. This procedure is a variation of thegeneral imputation process described in Appendix C, Accuracyof the Data.Comparability—There may be differences between thetotal Hispanic origin population based on 100-percenttabulations and sample tabulations. Such differences arethe result of sampling variability, nonsampling error, andmore extensive edit procedures for the Spanish/ Hispanicorigin item on the sample questionnaires. (For more informationon sampling variability and nonsampling error, seeAppendix C, Accuracy of the Data.)The <strong>1990</strong> data on Hispanic origin are generally comparablewith those for the 1980 census. However, there aresome differences in the format of the Hispanic originquestion between the two censuses. For <strong>1990</strong>, the word‘‘descent’’ was deleted from the 1980 wording. In addition,the term ‘‘Mexican-Amer.’’ used in 1980 was shortenedfurther to ‘‘Mexican-Am.’’ to reduce misreporting (of ‘‘American’’)in this category detected in the 1980 census. Finally,the <strong>1990</strong> question allowed those who reported as ‘‘otherSpanish/ Hispanic’’ to write in their specific Hispanic origingroup.Misreporting in the ‘‘Mexican-Amer.’’ category of the1980 census item on Spanish/ Hispanic origin may affectthe comparability of 1980 and <strong>1990</strong> census data forpersons of Hispanic origin for certain areas of the country.An evaluation of the 1980 census item on Spanish/ Hispanicorigin indicated that there was misreporting in theMexican origin category by White and Black persons incertain areas. The study results showed evidence that themisreporting occurred in the South (excluding Texas), theNortheast (excluding the New York City area), and a fewStates in the Midwest Region. Also, results based onavailable data suggest that the impact of possible misreportingof Mexican origin in the 1980 census was severe inthose portions of the above-mentioned regions where theHispanic origin population was generally sparse. However,national 1980 census data on the Mexican origin populationor total Hispanic origin population at the national levelwas not seriously affected by the reporting problem. (For amore detailed discussion of the evaluation of the 1980census Spanish/ Hispanic origin item, see the 1980 censusSupplementary Reports.)The <strong>1990</strong> and 1980 census data on the Hispanicpopulation are not directly comparable with 1970 Spanishorigin data because of a number of factors: (1) overallimprovements in the 1980 and <strong>1990</strong> censuses, (2) bettercoverage of the population, (3) improved question designs,and (4) an effective public relations campaign by theCensus Bureau with the assistance of national and communityethnic groups.DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICSSpecific changes in question design between the 1980and 1970 censuses included the placement of the category‘‘No, not Spanish/ Hispanic’’ as the first category inthat question. (The corresponding category appeared lastin the 1970 question.) Also, the 1970 category ‘‘Central orSouth American’’ was deleted because in 1970 somerespondents misinterpreted the category; furthermore, thedesignations ‘‘Mexican-American’’ and ‘‘Chicano’’ wereadded to the Spanish/ Hispanic origin question in 1980. Inthe 1970 census, the question on Spanish origin wasasked of only a 5-percent sample of the population.HOUSEHOLD TYPE AND RELATIONSHIPHouseholdA household includes all the persons who occupy ahousing unit. A housing unit is a house, an apartment, amobile home, a group of rooms, or a single room that isoccupied (or if vacant, is intended for occupancy) asseparate living quarters. Separate living quarters are thosein which the occupants live and eat separately from anyother persons in the building and which have direct accessfrom the outside of the building or through a common hall.The occupants may be a single family, one person livingalone, two or more families living together, or any othergroup of related or unrelated persons who share livingarrangements.In 100-percent tabulations, the count of households orhouseholders always equals the count of occupied housingunits. In sample tabulations, the numbers may differ asa result of the weighting process.Persons Per Household—A measure obtained by dividingthe number of persons in households by the number ofhouseholds (or householders). In cases where persons inhouseholds are cross-classified by race or Hispanic origin,persons in the household are classified by the race orHispanic origin of the householder rather than the race orHispanic origin of each individual.Relationship to HouseholderHouseholder—The data on relationship to householderwere derived from answers to questionnaire item 2, whichwas asked of all persons in housing units. One person ineach household is designated as the householder. In mostcases, this is the person, or one of the persons, in whosename the home is owned, being bought, or rented and whois listed in column 1 of the census questionnaire. If there isno such person in the household, any adult householdmember 15 years old and over could be designated as thehouseholder.Households are classified by type according to the sexof the householder and the presence of relatives. Twotypes of householders are distinguished: a family householderand a nonfamily householder. A family householderB–13

The householderand all persons in the household related to him or her arefamily members. A nonfamily householder is a householderliving alone or with nonrelatives only.Spouse—Includes a person married to and living with ahouseholder. This category includes persons in formalmarriages, 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 ‘‘marriedpersons with spouse present’’ in sample tabulations, sincemorethanonemarriedcouplecanliveinahousehold,butonly spouses of householders are specifically identified as‘‘spouse.’’ For sample tabulations, the number of ‘‘marriedpersons with spouse present’’ includes married-couplesubfamilies and married-couple families.Child—Includes a son or daughter by birth, a stepchild, oradopted child of the householder, regardless of the child’sage or marital status. The category excludes sons-in-law,daughters-in-law, and foster children.Natural-Born or Adopted Son/ Daughter—A son or daughterof the householder by birth, regardless of the age ofthe child. Also, this category includes sons or daughtersof the householder by legal adoption, regardless of theage of the child. If the stepson/ stepdaughter of thehouseholder has been legally adopted by the householder,the child is still classified as a stepchild.Stepson/ Stepdaughter—A son or daughter of the householderthrough marriage but not by birth, regardless ofthe age of the child. If the stepson/ stepdaughter of thehouseholder has been legally adopted by the householder,the child is still classified as a stepchild.Own Child—A never-married child under 18 years whois a son or daughter by birth, a stepchild, or an adoptedchild of the householder. In certain tabulations, ownchildren are further classified as living with two parentsor with one parent only. Own children of the householderliving with two parents are by definition foundonly in married-couple families.In a subfamily, an ‘‘own child’’ is a never-marriedchild under 18 years of age who is a son, daughter,stepchild, or an adopted child of a mother in a motherchildsubfamily, a father in a father-child subfamily, oreither spouse in a married-couple subfamily.‘‘Related children’’ in a family include own children andall 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. Fosterchildren are not included since they are not related to thehouseholder.Other Relatives—In tabulations, includes any householdmember related to the householder by birth, marriage, oradoption, but not included specifically in another relationshipcategory. In certain detailed tabulations, the followingcategories may be shown:Grandchild—The grandson or granddaughter of thehouseholder.Brother/ Sister—The brother or sister of the householder,including stepbrothers, stepsisters, and brothersand sisters by adoption. Brothers-in-law and sisters-inlaware included in the ‘‘Other relative’’ category on thequestionnaire.Parent—The father or mother of the householder, includinga stepparent or adoptive parent. Fathers-in-law andmothers-in-law are included in the ‘‘Other relative’’category on the questionnaire.Other Relatives—Anyone not listed in a reported categoryabove who is related to the householder by birth,marriage, or adoption (brother-in-law, grandparent, nephew,aunt, mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, cousin, and soforth).Nonrelatives—Includes any household member, includingfoster children not related to the householder by birth,marriage, or adoption.

Ahousehold can contain only one family for purposes ofcensus tabulations. Not all households contain familiessince a household may comprise a group of unrelatedpersons or one person living alone.Families are classified by type as either a ‘‘marriedcouplefamily’’ or ‘‘other family’’ according to the sex of thehouseholder and the presence of relatives. The data onfamily type are based on answers to questions on sex andrelationship which were asked on a 100-percent basis.Married-Couple Family—A family in which the householderand his or her spouse are enumerated as membersof the same household.Other Family:Male Householder, No Wife Present—A family with amale householder and no spouse of householder present.Female Householder, No Husband Present—A familywith a female householder and no spouse of householderpresent.Persons Per Family—A measure obtained by dividing thenumber of persons in families by the total number offamilies (or family householders). In cases where themeasure, ‘‘persons in family’’ or ‘‘persons per family’’ arecross-tabulated by race or Hispanic origin, the race orHispanic origin refers to the householder rather than therace or Hispanic origin of each individual.SubfamilyA subfamily is a married couple (husband and wifeenumerated as members of the same household) with orwithout never-married children under 18 years old, or oneparent with one or more never-married children under 18years old, living in a household and related to, but notincluding, either the householder or the householder’sspouse. The number of subfamilies is not included in thecount of families, since subfamily members are counted aspart of the householder’s family.Subfamilies are defined during processing of sampledata. In selected tabulations, subfamilies are further classifiedby type: married-couple subfamilies, with or withoutown children; mother-child subfamilies; and father-childsubfamilies.Lone parents include people maintaining either oneparentfamilies or one-parent subfamilies. Married couplesinclude husbands and wives in both married-couple familiesand married-couple subfamilies.DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICSUnmarried-Partner HouseholdAn unmarried-partner household is a household otherthan a ‘‘married-couple household’’ that includes a householderand an ‘‘unmarried partner.’’ An ‘‘unmarried partner’’can be of the same sex or of the opposite sex of thehouseholder. An ‘‘unmarried partner’’ in an ‘‘unmarriedpartnerhousehold’’ is an adult who is unrelated to thehouseholder, but shares living quarters and has a closepersonal relationship with the householder.Unmarried-Couple HouseholdAn unmarried-couple household is composed of twounrelated adults of the opposite sex (one of whom is thehouseholder) who share a housing unit with or without thepresence of children under 15 years old.Foster ChildrenFoster children are nonrelatives of the householder andare included in the category, ‘‘Roomer, boarder, or fosterchild’’ on the questionnaire. Foster children are identifiedas persons under 18 years old and living in householdsthat have no nonrelatives 18 years old and over (who mightbe parents of the nonrelatives under 18 years old).StepfamilyA stepfamily is a ‘‘married-couple family’’ with at leastone stepchild of the householder present, where thehouseholder is the husband.Comparability—The <strong>1990</strong> definition of a household is thesame 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 separatecategory. The 1980 nonrelative categories: ‘‘Roomer,boarder’’ and ‘‘Partner, roommate’’ have been replaced bythe categories ‘‘Roomer, boarder, or foster child,’’ ‘‘Housemate,roommate,’’ and ‘‘Unmarried partner.’’ The 1980nonrelative category ‘‘Paid employee’’ has been dropped.INCOME IN 1989The data on income in 1989 were derived from answersto questionnaire items 32 and 33. Information on moneyincome received in the calendar year 1989 was requestedfrom persons 15 years old and over. ‘‘Total income’’ is thealgebraic sum of the amounts reported separately forwage or salary income; net nonfarm self-employmentincome; net farm self-employment income; interest, dividend,or net rental or royalty income; Social Security orrailroad retirement income; public assistance or welfareincome; retirement or disability income; and all otherincome. ‘‘Earnings’’ is defined as the algebraic sum ofB–15

However, for persons 15 years old andover, the total amounts of their own incomes are used.Although the income statistics covered the calendar year1989, the characteristics of persons and the compositionof families refer to the time of enumeration (April <strong>1990</strong>).Thus, the income of the family does not include amountsreceived by persons who were members of the familyduring all or part of the calendar year 1989 if these personsno longer resided with the family at the time of enumeration.Yet, family income amounts reported by relatedpersons who did not reside with the family during 1989 butwho were members of the family at the time of enumerationare included. However, the composition of mostfamilies was the same during 1989 as in April <strong>1990</strong>.Median Income—The median divides the income distributioninto two equal parts, one having incomes above themedian and the other having incomes below the median.B–16 DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICS

The median for persons is based onpersons with income. The median income values for allhouseholds, families, and persons are computed on thebasis of more detailed income intervals than shown inmost tabulations. Median household or family incomefigures of $50,000 or less are calculated using linearinterpolation. For persons, corresponding median valuesof $40,000 or less are also computed using linear interpolation.All other median income amounts are derivedthrough Pareto interpolation. (For more information onmedians and interpolation, see the discussion under ‘‘DerivedMeasures.’’)Mean Income—This is the amount obtained by dividingthe total income of a particular statistical universe by thenumber of units in that universe. Thus, mean householdincome is obtained by dividing total household income bythe total number of households. For the various types ofincome the means are based on households having thosetypes of income. ‘‘Per capita income’’ is the mean incomecomputed for every man, woman, and child in a particulargroup. It is derived by dividing the total income of aparticular group by the total population in that group.Care should be exercised in using and interpreting meanincome values for small subgroups of the population.Because the mean is influenced strongly by extremevalues in the distribution, it is especially susceptible to theeffects of sampling variability, misreporting, and processingerrors. The median, which is not affected by extremevalues, is, therefore, a better measure than the mean whenthe population base is small. The mean, nevertheless, isshown in some data products for most small subgroupsbecause, when weighted according to the number ofcases, the means can be added to obtained summarymeasures for areas and groups other than those shown incensus tabulations.Limitation of the Data—Since questionnaire entries forincome frequently are based on memory and not onrecords, many persons tended to forget minor or irregularsources of income and, therefore, underreport their income.Underreporting tends to be more pronounced for incomesources that are not derived from earnings, such as SocialSecurity, public assistance, or from interest, dividends, andnet rental income.There are errors of reporting due to the misunderstandingof the income questions such as reporting gross ratherthan net dollar amounts for the two questions on netself-employment income, which resulted in an overstatementof these items. Another common error is the reportingof identical dollar amounts in two of the eight type ofincome items where a respondent with only one source ofincome assumed that the second amount should beentered to represent total income. Such instances ofDEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICSoverreporting had an impact on the level of mean nonfarmor farm self-employment income and mean total incomepublished for the various geographical subdivisions of theState.Extensive computer editing procedures were institutedin the data processing operation to reduce some of thesereporting errors and to improve the accuracy of the incomedata. These procedures corrected various reporting deficienciesand improved the consistency of reported incomeitems associated with work experience and information onoccupation and class of worker. For example, if personsreported they were self-employed on their own farm, notincorporated, but had reported wage and salary earningsonly, the latter amount was shifted to net farm selfemploymentincome. Also, if any respondent reported totalincome only, the amount was generally assigned to one ofthe type of income items according to responses to thework experience and class-of-worker questions. Anothertype of problem involved nonreporting of income data.Where income information was not reported, procedureswere devised to impute appropriate values with either noincome or positive or negative dollar amounts for themissing entries. (For more information on imputation, seeAppendix C, Accuracy of the Data.)In income tabulations for households and families, thelowest income group (e.g., less than $5,000) includes unitsthat were classified as having no 1989 income. Many ofthese were living on income ‘‘in kind,’’ savings, or gifts,were newly created families, or families in which the solebreadwinner had recently died or left the household.However, many of the households and families who reportedno income probably had some money income which wasnot recorded in the census.The income data presented in the tabulations coversmoney income only. The fact that many farm familiesreceive an important part of their income in the form of‘‘free’’ housing and goods produced and consumed on thefarm rather than in money should be taken into considerationin comparing the income of farm and nonfarmresidents. Nonmoney income such as business expenseaccounts, use of business transportation and facilities, orpartial compensation by business for medical and educationalexpenses was also received by some nonfarmresidents. Many low income families also receive income‘‘in kind’’ from public welfare programs. In comparingincome data for 1989 with earlier years, it should be notedthat an increase or decrease in money income does notnecessarily represent a comparable change in real income,unless adjustments for changes in prices are made.Comparability—The income data collected in the 1980and 1970 censuses are similar to the <strong>1990</strong> census data,but there are variations in the detail of the questions. In1980, income information for 1979 was collected frompersons in approximately 19 percent of all housing unitsand group quarters. Each person was required to report:• Wage or salary income• Net nonfarm self-employment incomeB–17

In bothcensuses, all persons with missing values in one or moreofthedetailedtypeofincomeitemsand total income weredesignated as allocated. Each missing entry was imputedeither as a ‘‘no’’ or as a dollar amount. If total income wasreported and one or more of the type of income fields wasnot answered, then the entry in total income generally wasassigned to one of the income types according to thesocioeconomic characteristics of the income recipient.This person was designated as unallocated.In 1980 and <strong>1990</strong>, all nonrespondents with income notreported (whether heads of households or other persons)were assigned the reported income of persons with similarcharacteristics. (For more information on imputation, seeAppendix C, ‘‘Accuracy of the Data.’’)There was a difference in the method of computerderivation of aggregate income from individual amountsbetween the two census processing operations. In the1980 census, income amounts less than $100,000 werecoded in tens of dollars, and amounts of $100,000 or morewere coded in thousands of dollars; $5 was added to eachamount coded in tens of dollars and $500 to each amountcoded in thousands of dollars. Entries of $999,000 or morewere treated as $999,500 and losses of $9,999 or morewere treated as minus $9,999. In the <strong>1990</strong> census, incomeamounts less than $999,999 were keyed in dollars. Amountsof $999,999 or more were treated as $999,999 and lossesof $9,999 or more were treated as minus $9,999 in all ofthe computer derivations of aggregate income.In 1970, information on income in 1969 was obtainedfrom all members in every fifth housing unit and smallgroup quarters (less than 15 persons) and every fifthperson in all other group quarters. Each person wasrequired to report:• Wage or salary income• Net nonfarm self-employment income• Net farm self-employment income• Social Security or Railroad Retirement• Public assistance or welfare payments• Income from all other sourcesIf a person reported a dollar amount in wage or salary,net nonfarm self-employment income, or net farm selfemploymentincome, the person was considered as unallocatedonly if no further dollar amounts were imputed forany additional missing entries.In 1960, data on income were obtained from all membersin every fourth housing unit and from every fourthperson 14 years old and over living in group quarters. Eachperson was required to report wage or salary income, netself-employment income, and income other than earningsreceived in 1959. An assumption was made in the editingprocess that no other type of income was received by aperson who reported the receipt of either wage and salaryincome or self-employment but who had failed to report thereceipt of other money income.For several reasons, the income data shown in censustabulations are not directly comparable with those thatmay be obtained from statistical summaries of income taxreturns. Income, as defined for Federal tax purposes,differs somewhat from the Census Bureau concept. Moreover,the coverage of income tax statistics is differentbecause of the exemptions of persons having small amountsof income and the inclusion of net capital gains in taxreturns. Furthermore, members of some families file separatereturns and others file joint returns; consequently,the income reporting unit is not consistently either a familyor a person.The earnings data shown in census tabulations are notdirectly comparable with earnings records of the SocialSecurity Administration. The earnings record data for 1989excluded the earnings of most civilian government employees,some employees of nonprofit organizations, workerscovered by the Railroad Retirement Act, and persons notcovered by the program because of insufficient earnings.Furthermore, earnings received from any one employer inexcess of $48,000 in 1989 are not covered by earningsrecords. Finally, because census data are obtained fromhousehold questionnaires, they may differ from SocialSecurity Administration earnings record data, which arebased upon employers’ reports and the Federal incometax returns of self-employed persons.The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) of the Departmentof Commerce publishes annual data on aggregateand per-capita personal income received by the populationfor States, metropolitan areas, and selected counties.Aggregate income estimates based on the income statisticsshown in census products usually would be less thanthose shown in the BEA income series for several reasons.The Census Bureau data are obtained directly from households,whereas the BEA income series is estimated largelyon the basis of data from administrative records of businessand governmental sources. Moreover, the definitionsof income are different. The BEA income series includessome items not included in the income data shown incensus publications, such as income ‘‘in kind,’’ incomereceived by nonprofit institutions, the value of services ofbanks and other financial intermediaries rendered to personswithout the assessment of specific charges, Medicarepayments, and the income of persons who died oremigrated prior to April 1, <strong>1990</strong>. On the other hand, thecensus income data include contributions for supportreceived from persons not residing in the same householdand employer contributions for social insurance.B–18 DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICS

These questions were asked of asample of persons. Information on industry relates to thekind of business conducted by a person’s employingorganization; occupation describes the kind of work theperson does on the job.For employed persons, the data refer to the person’sjob during the reference week. For those who worked attwo or more jobs, the data refer to the job at which theperson worked the greatest number of hours. For unemployedpersons, the data refer to their last job. The industryand occupation statistics are derived from the detailedclassification systems developed for the <strong>1990</strong> census asdescribed below. The Classified Index of Industries andOccupations provided additional information on the industryand occupation classification systems.Respondents provided the data for the tabulations bywriting on the questionnaires descriptions of their industryand occupation. These descriptions were keyed and passedthrough automated coding software which assigned aportion of the written entries to categories in the classificationsystem. The automated system assigned codes to59 percent of the industry entries and 38 percent of theoccupation entries.Those cases not coded by the computer were referredto clerical staff in the Census Bureau’s Kansas Cityprocessing office for coding. The clerical staff convertedthe written questionnaire descriptions to codes by comparingthese descriptions to entries in the Alphabetical Indexof Industries and Occupations. For the industry code,these coders also referred to an Employer Name List(formerly called Company Name List). This list, preparedfrom the Standard Statistical Establishment List developedby the Census Bureau for the economic censuses andsurveys, contained the names of business establishmentsand their Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codesconverted to population census equivalents. This list facilitatedcoding and maintained industrial classification comparability.IndustryThe industry classification system developed for the<strong>1990</strong> census consists of 236 categories for employedpersons, classified into 13 major industry groups. Since1940, the industrial classification has been based on theStandard Industrial Classification Manual (SIC). The <strong>1990</strong>census classification was developed from the 1987 SICpublished by the Office of Management and Budget,Executive Office of the President.The SIC was designed primarily to classify establishmentsby the type of industrial activity in which they wereengaged. However, census data, which were collectedfrom households, differ in detail and nature from thoseDEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICSobtained from establishment surveys. Therefore, the censusclassification systems, while defined in SIC terms,cannot reflect the full detail in all categories. There areseveral levels of industrial classification found in censusproducts. For example, the <strong>1990</strong> CP-2, Social and EconomicCharacteristics report includes 41 unique industrialcategories, while the <strong>1990</strong> Summary Tape File 4 (STF 4)presents 72 categories.OccupationThe occupational classification system developed forthe <strong>1990</strong> census consists of 501 specific occupationalcategories for employed persons arranged into 6 summaryand 13 major occupational groups. This classification wasdeveloped to be consistent with the Standard OccupationalClassification (SOC) Manual: 1980, published by theOffice of Federal Statistical Policy and Standards, U.S.Department of Commerce. Tabulations with occupation asthe primary characteristic present several levels of occupationaldetail. The most detailed tabulations are shown ina special <strong>1990</strong> subject report and tape files on occupation.These products contain all 501 occupational categoriesplus industry or class of worker subgroupings of occupationalcategories.Some occupation groups are related closely to certainindustries. Operators of transportation equipment, farmoperators and workers, and private household workersaccount for major portions of their respective industries oftransportation, agriculture, and private households. However,the industry categories include persons in otheroccupations. For example, persons employed in agricultureinclude truck drivers and bookkeepers; persons employedin the transportation industry include mechanics, freighthandlers, and payroll clerks; and persons employed in theprivate household industry include occupations such aschauffeur, gardener, and secretary.Class of WorkerThe data on class of worker were derived from answersto questionnaire item 30. The information on class ofworker refers to the same job as a respondent’s industryand occupation and categorizes persons according to thetype of ownership of the employing organization. The classof worker categories are defined as follows:Private Wage and Salary Workers—Includes personswho worked for wages, salary, commission, tips, pay-inkind,or piece rates for a private for profit employer or aprivate not-for-profit, tax-exempt or charitable organization.Self-employed persons whose business was incorporatedare included with private wage and salary workersbecause they are paid employees of their own companies.Some tabulations present data separately for these subcategories:‘‘For profit,’’ ‘‘Not for profit,’’ and ‘‘Own businessincorporated.’’B–19


JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 20 SESS: 109 OUTPUT: Mon Jul 12 09:35:09 1993 / pssw01/ disk2/ 90dec/ cp2/ usst/ appbEmployees of foreign governments, the United Nations,or other formal international organizations were classifiedas ’’Private-not-for-profit.’’Government Workers—Includes persons who were employeesof any local, State, or Federal governmental unit,regardless of the activity of the particular agency. Forsome tabulations, the data were presented separately forthe three levels of government.Self-Employed Workers—Includes persons who workedfor profit or fees in their own unincorporated business,profession, or trade, or who operated a farm.Unpaid Family Workers—Includes persons who worked15 hours or more without pay in a business or on a farmoperated by a relative.Salaried/ Self-Employed—In tabulations that categorizepersons as either salaried or self-employed, the salariedcategory includes private and government wage and salaryworkers; self-employed includes self-employed personsand unpaid family workers.The industry category, ‘‘Public administration,’’ is limitedto regular government functions such as legislative, judicial,administrative, and regulatory activities of governments.Other government organizations such as schools,hospitals, liquor stores, and bus lines are classified byindustry according to the activity in which they are engaged.On the other hand, the class of worker governmentcategories include all government workers.Occasionally respondents supplied industry, occupation,or class of worker descriptions which were notsufficiently specific for precise classification or did notreport on these items at all. Some of these cases werecorrected through the field editing process and during thecoding and tabulation operations. In the coding operation,certain types of incomplete entries were corrected usingthe Alphabetical Index of Industries and Occupations. Forexample, it was possible in certain situations to assign anindustry code based on the occupation reported.Following the coding operations, there was a computeredit and an allocation process. The edit first determinedwhether a respondent was in the universe which requiredan industry and occupation code. The codes for the threeitems (industry, occupation, and class of worker) werechecked to ensure they were valid and were edited for theirrelation to each other. Invalid and inconsistent codes wereeither blanked or changed to a consistent code.If one or more of the three codes were blank after theedit, a code was assigned from a ‘‘similar’’ person basedon other items such as age, sex, education, farm ornonfarm residence, and weeks worked. If all the laborforce and income data also were blank, all these economicitems were assigned from one other person who providedall the necessary data.Comparability—Comparability of industry and occupationdata was affected by a number of factors, primarily thesystems used to classify the questionnaire responses. Forboth the industry and occupation classification systems,the basic structures were generally the same from 1940 to1970, but changes in the individual categories limitedcomparability of the data from one census to another.These changes were needed to recognize the ‘‘birth’’ ofnew industries and occupations, the ‘‘death’’ of others,and the growth and decline in existing industries andoccupations, as well as, the desire of analysts and otherusers for more detail in the presentation of the data.Probably the greatest cause of incomparability is themovement of a segment of a category to a differentcategory in the next census. Changes in the nature of jobsand respondent terminology, and refinement of categorycomposition made these movements necessary.In the <strong>1990</strong> census, the industry classification had minorrevisions to reflect recent changes to the SIC. The <strong>1990</strong>occupational classification system is essentially the sameas that for the 1980 census. However, the conversion ofthe census classification to the SOC in 1980 meant thatthe <strong>1990</strong> classification system was less comparable to theclassifications used prior to the 1980 census.Other factors that affected data comparability includedthe universe to which the data referred (in 1970, the agecutoff for labor force was changed from 14 years to 16years); how the industry and occupation questions wereworded on the questionnaire (for example, important changeswere made in 1970); improvements in the coding procedures(the Employer Name List technique was introducedin 1960); and how the ‘‘not reported’’ cases are handled.Prior to 1970, they were placed in the residual categories,‘‘Industry not reported’’ and ‘‘Occupation not reported.’’ In1970, an allocation process was introduced that assignedthese cases to major groups. In <strong>1990</strong>, as in 1980, the ‘‘Notreported’’ cases were assigned to individual categories.Therefore, the 1980 and <strong>1990</strong> data for individual categoriesincluded some numbers of persons who were tabulatedin a ‘‘Not reported’’ category in previous censuses.The following publications contain information on thevarious factors affecting comparability and are particularlyuseful for understanding differences in the occupation andindustry information from earlier censuses: U.S. Bureau ofthe Census, Changes Between the 1950 and 1960 Occupationand Industry Classifications With Detailed Adjustmentsof 1950 Data to the 1960 Classifications, TechnicalPaper No. 18, 1968; U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1970Occupation and Industry Classification Systems in Termsof their 1960 Occupation and Industry Elements, TechnicalPaper No. 26, 1972; and U.S. Bureau of the Census, TheRelationship Between the 1970 and 1980 Industry andOccupation Classification Systems, Technical Paper No.59, 1988.

Also in <strong>1990</strong>, employees of foreign governments,the United Nations, etc., are classified as ‘‘private not-forprofit,’’rather than Federal Government as in 1970 and1980. While in theory, there was a change in comparability,in practice, the small number of U.S. residents working forforeign governments made this change negligible.Comparability between the statistics on industry andoccupation from the <strong>1990</strong> census and statistics from othersources is affected by many of the factors described in thesectionon‘‘EmploymentStatus.’’Thesefactorsareprimarilygeographic differences between residence and placeof work, different dates of reference, and differences incounts because of dual job holding. Industry data frompopulation censuses cover all industries and all kinds ofworkers, whereas, data from establishments often excludedprivate household workers, government workers, and theself-employed. Also, the replies from household respondentsmay have differed in detail and nature from thoseobtained from establishments.Occupation data from the census and data from governmentlicensing agencies, professional associations, tradeunions, etc., may not be as comparable as expected.Organizational listings often include persons not in thelabor force or persons devoting all or most of their time toanother occupation; or the same person may be includedin two or more different listings. In addition, relatively feworganizations, except for those requiring licensing, attainedcomplete coverage of membership in a particular occupationalfield.JOURNEY TO WORKPlace of WorkThe data on place of work were derived from answers toquestionnaire item 22, which was asked of persons whoindicated in question 21 that they worked at some timeduring the reference week. (For more information, seediscussion under ‘‘Reference Week.’’)Data were tabulated for workers 16 years and over; thatis, members of the Armed Forces and civilians who were atwork during the reference week. Data on place of workrefer to the geographic location at which workers carriedout their occupational activities during the reference week.The exact address (number and street) of the place ofwork was asked, as well as the place (city, town, or postoffice); whether or not the place of work was inside oroutside the limits of that city or town; and the county, State,and ZIP Code. If the person’s employer operated in morethan one location, the exact address of the location orbranch where the respondent worked was requested.When the number and street name were unknown, adescription of the location, such as the building name ornearest street or intersection, was to be entered.DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICSPersons who worked at more than one location duringthe reference week were asked to report the one at whichthey worked the greatest number of hours. Persons whoregularly worked in several locations each day during thereference week were requested to give the address atwhich they began work each day. For cases in which dailywork did not begin at a central place each day, the personwas asked to provide as much information as possible todescribe the area in which he or she worked most duringthe reference week.In some tabulations, place-of-work locations may bedefined as ‘‘in area of residence’’ and ‘‘outside area ofresidence.’’ The area of residence may vary from table totable or even within a table, and refers to the particulararea or areas shown. For example, in a table that providesdata for counties, ‘‘in area of residence’’ refers to personswho worked in the same county in which they lived, while‘‘outside area of residence’’ refers to persons whoseworkplace was located in a county different from the one inwhich they lived. Similarly, in a table that provides data forseveral types of areas, such as the State and its individualmetropolitan areas (MA’s), counties, and places, the placeof-workdata will be variable and is determined by thegeographic level (State, MA, county, or place) shown ineach section of the tabulation.In tabulations that present data for States, workplacesfor the residents of the State may include, in addition to theState itself, each contiguous State. The category, ‘‘innoncontiguous State or abroad,’’ includes persons whoworked in a State that did not border their State ofresidence as well as persons who worked outside theUnited States.In tabulations that present data for an MSA/ PMSA,place-of-work locations are specified to show the maindestinations of workers living in the MSA/ PMSA. (Formore information on metropolitan areas (MA’s), see AppendixA, Area Classifications.) All place-of-work locations areidentified with respect to the boundaries of the MSA/ PMSAas ‘‘inside MSA/ PMSA’’ or ‘‘outside MSA/ PMSA.’’ Locationswithin the MSA/ PMSA are further divided into eachcentral city, and each county or county balance. Selectedlarge incorporated places also may be specified as placesof work.Within New England MSA/ PMSA’s, the places of workpresented generally are cities and towns. Locations outsidethe MSA/ PMSA are specified if they are importantcommuting destinations for residents of the MSA/ PMSA,and may include adjoining MSA/ PMSA’s and their centralcities, their component counties, large incorporated places,or counties, cities, or other geographic areas outside anyMA. In tabulations for MSA/ PMSA’s in New England;Honolulu, Hawaii; and certain other MA’s, some place-ofworklocations are identified as ‘‘areas’’ (e.g., Area 1, Area5, Area 12, etc.). Such areas consist of groups of towns,cities, census designated places (Honolulu MSA only), orcounties that have been identified as unique place-of-workdestinations.

However, the componentsare presented in the <strong>1990</strong> CP-1, General Population Characteristicsfor Metropolitan Areas and the <strong>1990</strong> CH-1,General Housing Characteristics for Metropolitan Areasreports. In tabulations that present data for census tractsoutside MA’s, place-of-work locations are defined as ‘‘incounty of residence’’ and ‘‘outside county of residence.’’In areas where the workplace address was coded to theblock level, persons were tabulated as working inside oroutside a specific place based on the location of thataddress, regardless of the response to question 22cconcerning city/ town limits. In areas where it was impossibleto code the workplace address to the block level,persons were tabulated as working in a place if a placename was reported in question 22b and the response toquestion 22c was either ‘‘Yes’’ or the item was left blank.In selected areas, census designated places (CDP’s) mayappear in the tabulations as places of work. The accuracyof place-of-work data for CDP’s may be affected by theextent to which their census names were familiar torespondents, and by coding problems caused by similaritiesbetween the CDP name and the names of othergeographic jurisdictions in the same vicinity.Place-of-work data are given for selected minor civildivisions (generally, cities, towns, and townships) in thenine Northeastern States, based on the responses to theplace-of-work question. Many towns and townships areregarded locally as equivalent to a place and therefore,were reported as the place of work. When a respondentreported a locality or incorporated place that formed a partof a township or town, the coding and tabulating procedurewas designed to include the response in the total for thetownship or town. The accuracy of the place-of-work datafor minor civil divisions is greatest for the New EnglandStates. However, the data for some New England towns,for towns in New York, and for townships in New Jerseyand Pennsylvania may be affected by coding problemsthat resulted from the unfamiliarity of the respondent withthe minor civil division in which the workplace was locatedor when a township and a city or borough of the same orsimilar name are located close together.Place-of-work data may show a few workers who madeunlikely daily work trips (e.g., workers who lived in NewYork and worked in California). This result is attributable topersons who worked during the reference week at alocation that was different from their usual place of work,such as persons away from home on business.Comparability—Thewordingofthequestiononplaceofwork was substantially the same in the <strong>1990</strong> census as itwas in 1980. However, data on place of work from the<strong>1990</strong> census are based on the full census sample, whiledata from the 1980 census were based on only aboutone-half of the full sample.For the 1980 census, nonresponse or incomplete responsesto the place-of-work question were not allocated, resultingin the use of ‘‘not reported’’ categories in the 1980publications. However, for the <strong>1990</strong> census, when place ofwork was not reported or the response was incomplete, awork location was allocated to the person based on theirmeans of transportation to work, travel time to work,industry, and location of residence and workplace ofothers. The <strong>1990</strong> publications, therefore, do not contain a‘‘not reported’’ category for the place-of-work data.Comparisons between 1980 and <strong>1990</strong> census data onthe gross number of workers in particular commuting flows,or the total number of persons working in an area, shouldbe made with extreme caution. Any apparent increase inthe magnitude of the gross numbers may be due solely tothe fact that for <strong>1990</strong> the ‘‘not reported’’ cases have beendistributed among specific place-of-work destinations, insteadof tallied in a separate category as in 1980.Limitation of the Data—Thedataonplaceofworkrelateto a reference week; that is, the calendar week precedingthe date on which the respondents completed their questionnairesor were interviewed by enumerators. This weekis not the same for all respondents because the enumerationwas not completed in 1 week. However, for themajority of persons, the reference week for the <strong>1990</strong>census is the last week in March <strong>1990</strong>. The lack of auniform reference week means that the place-of-work datareported in the census will not exactly match the distributionof workplace locations observed or measured duringan actual workweek.The place-of-work data are estimates of persons 16years old and over who were both employed and at workduring the reference week (including persons in the ArmedForces). Persons who did not work during the referenceweek but had jobs or businesses from which they weretemporarily absent due to illness, bad weather, industrialdispute, vacation, or other personal reasons are not includedin the place-of-work data. Therefore, the data on place ofwork understate the total number of jobs or total employmentin a geographic area during the reference week. Italso should be noted that persons who had irregular,casual, or unstructured jobs during the reference weekmay have erroneously reported themselves as not working.The address where the individual worked most oftenduring the reference week was recorded on the censusquestionnaire. If a worker held two jobs, only data aboutthe primary job (the one worked the greatest number ofhours during the preceding week) was requested. Personswho regularly worked in several locations during the referenceweek were requested to give the address at whichthey began work each day. For cases in which daily workwas not begun at a central place each day, the person wasasked to provide as much information as possible todescribe the area in which he or she worked most duringthe reference week.Means of Transportation to WorkThe data on means of transportation to work werederived from answers to questionnaire item 23a, whichwas asked of persons who indicated in question 21 thatB–22 DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICS

(Formore information, see discussion under ‘‘Reference Week.’’)Means of transportation to work refers to the principalmode of travel or type of conveyance that the personusually used to get from home to work during the referenceweek.Persons who used different means of transportation ondifferent days of the week were asked to specify the onethey used most often, that is, the greatest number of days.Persons who used more than one means of transportationto get to work each day were asked to report the one usedfor the longest distance during the work trip. The category,‘‘Car, truck, or van,’’ includes workers using a car (includingcompany cars but excluding taxicabs), a truck ofone-ton capacity or less, or a van. The category, ‘‘Publictransportation,’’ includes workers who used a bus or trolleybus, streetcar or trolley car, subway or elevated, railroad,ferryboat, or taxicab even if each mode is not shownseparately in the tabulation. The category, ‘‘Other means,’’includes workers who used a mode of travel which is notidentified separately within the data distribution. The category,‘‘Other means,’’ may vary from table to table, dependingon the amount of detail shown in a particular distribution.The means of transportation data for some areas mayshow workers using modes of public transportation thatare not available in those areas (e.g., subway or elevatedriders in an MA where there actually is no subway orelevated service). This result is largely due to persons whoworked during the reference week at a location that wasdifferent from their usual place of work (such as personsaway from home on business in an area where subwayservice was available) and persons who used more thanone means of transportation each day but whose principalmeans was unavailable where they lived (for example,residents of nonmetropolitan areas who drove to the fringeof an MA and took the commuter railroad most of thedistance to work).Private Vehicle OccupancyThe data on private vehicle occupancy were derivedfrom answers to questionnaire item 23b. This question wasasked of persons who indicated in question 21 that theyworked at some time during the reference week and whoreported in question 23a that their means of transportationto work was ‘‘Car, truck, or van.’’ (For more information,see discussion under ‘‘Reference Week.’’)Private vehicle occupancy refers to the number ofpersons who usually rode to work in the vehicle during thereference week. The category, ‘‘Drove alone,’’ includespersons who usually drove alone to work as well aspersons who were driven to work by someone who thendrove back home or to a nonwork destination. The category,‘‘Carpooled,’’ includes workers who reported that twoor more persons usually rode to work in the vehicle duringthe reference week.DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICSPersons Per Car, Truck, or Van—This is obtained bydividing the number of persons who reported using a car,truck, or van to get to work by the number of such vehiclesthat they used. The number of vehicles used is derived bycounting each person who drove alone as one vehicle,each person who reported being in a two-person carpoolas one-half vehicle, each person who reported being in athree-person carpool as one-third vehicle, and so on, andthen summing all the vehicles.TimeLeavingHometoGotoWorkThe data on time leaving home to go to work werederived from answers to questionnaire item 24a. Thisquestion was asked of persons who indicated in question21 that they worked at some time during the referenceweek and who reported in question 23a that they workedoutside their home. The departure time refers to the time ofday that the person usually left home to go to work duringthe reference week. (For more information, see discussionunder ‘‘Reference Week.’’)Travel Time to WorkThe data on travel time to work were derived fromanswers to questionnaire item 24b. This question wasasked of persons who indicated in question 21 that theyworked at some time during the reference week and whoreported in question 23a that they worked outside theirhome. Travel time to work refers to the total number ofminutes that it usually took the person to get from home towork during the reference week. The elapsed time includestime spent waiting for public transportation, picking uppassengers in carpools, and time spent in other activitiesrelated to getting to work. (For more information, seediscussion under ‘‘Reference Week.’’)LANGUAGE SPOKEN AT HOME AND ABILITYTO SPEAK ENGLISHLanguage Spoken at HomeData on language spoken at home were derived fromthe answers to questionnaire items 15a and 15b, whichwere asked of a sample of persons born before April 1,1985. Instructions mailed with the <strong>1990</strong> census questionnairestated that a respondent should mark ‘‘Yes’’ inquestion 15a if the person sometimes or always spoke alanguage other than English at home and should not mark‘‘Yes’’ if a language was spoken only at school or ifspeaking was limited to a few expressions or slang. Forquestion 15b, respondents were instructed to print thename of the non-English language spoken at home. If theperson spoke more than one language other than English,the person was to report the language spoken more oftenor the language learned first.B–23

Instruction guides were also availablein 32 other languages to assist enumerators whoencountered households or respondents who spoke noEnglish.Questions 15a and 15b referred to languages spoken athome in an effort to measure the current use of languagesother than English. Persons who knew languages otherthan English but did not use them at home or who onlyused them elsewhere were excluded. Persons who reportedspeaking a language other than English at home may alsospeak English; however, the questions did not permitdetermination of the main or dominant language of personswho spoke both English and another language. (Formore information, see discussion below on ‘‘Ability toSpeak English.’’)For persons who indicated that they spoke a languageother than English at home in question 15a, but failed tospecify the name of the language in question 15b, thelanguage was assigned based on the language of otherspeakers in the household; on the language of a person ofthe same Spanish origin or detailed race group living in thesame or a nearby area; or on a person of the sameancestry or place of birth. In all cases where a person wasassigned a non-English language, it was assumed that thelanguage was spoken at home. Persons for whom thename of a language other than English was entered inquestion 15b, and for whom question 15a was blank wereassumed to speak that language at home.The write-in responses listed in question 15b (specificlanguage spoken) were transcribed onto computer filesand coded into more than 380 detailed language categoriesusing an automated coding system. The automatedprocedure compared write-in responses reported by respondentswith entries in a computer dictionary, which initiallycontained approximately 2,000 language names. The dictionarywas updated with a large number of new names,variations in spelling, and a small number of residualcategories. Each write-in response was given a numericcode that was associated with one of the detailed categoriesin the dictionary. If the respondent listed more thanone non-English language, only the first was coded.The write-in responses represented the names peopleused for languages they speak. They may not match thenames or categories used by linguists. The sets of categoriesused are sometimes geographic and sometimeslinguistic. Figure 1 provides an illustration of the content ofthe classification schemes used to present language data.For more information, write to the Chief, Population Division,U.S. Bureau of the Census, Washington, DC 20233.Household Language—In households where one or morepersons (age 5 years old or over) speak a language otherthan English, the household language assigned to allhousehold members is the non-English language spokenby the first person with a non-English language in thefollowing order: householder, spouse, parent, sibling, child,grandchild, other relative, stepchild, unmarried partner,housemate or roommate, roomer, boarder, or foster child,or other nonrelative. Thus, persons who speak only Englishmay have a non-English household language assigned tothem in tabulations of persons by household language.Figure 1.

However, these persons would beexpected to indicate that they spoke English ‘‘Very well.’’Persons who speak a language other than English, but donot do so at home, should have been reported as notspeaking a language other than English at home.The extreme detail in which language names werecodedmaygiveafalseimpressionofthelinguisticprecisionof these data. The names used by speakers of alanguage to identify it may reflect ethnic, geographic, orpolitical affiliations and do not necessarily respect linguisticdistinctions. The categories shown in the tabulationswere chosen on a number of criteria, such as informationabout the number of speakers of each language that mightbe expected in a sample of the United States population.Comparability—Information on language has been collectedin every census since 1890. The comparability ofdata among censuses is limited by changes in questionwording, by the subpopulations to whom the question wasaddressed, and by the detail that was published.The same question on language was asked in the 1980and <strong>1990</strong> censuses. This question on the current languagespoken at home replaced the questions asked in priorcensuses on mother tongue; that is, the language otherthan English spoken in the person’s home when he or shewas a child; one’s first language; or the language spokenbefore immigrating to the United States. The censuses of1910-1940, 1960 and 1970 included questions on mothertongue. A change in coding procedure from 1980 to <strong>1990</strong>should have improved accuracy of coding and may affectthe number of persons reported in some of the 380 pluscategories. It should not greatly affect the 4-group or 25-group lists. In 1980, coding clerks supplied numeric codesfor the written entries on each questionnaire using a 2,000name reference list. In <strong>1990</strong> written entries were transcribedto a computer file and matched to a computerDEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICSdictionary which began with the 2,000 name list, butexpanded as unmatched names were referred to headquartersspecialists for resolution.The question on ability to speak English was asked forthe first time in 1980. In tabulations from 1980, thecategories ‘‘Very well’’ and ‘‘Well’’ were combined. Datafrom other surveys suggested a major difference betweenthe category ‘‘Very well’’ and the remaining categories. Intabulations showing ability to speak English, persons whoreported that they spoke English ‘‘Very well’’ are presentedseparately from persons who reported their abilityto speak English as less than ‘‘Very well.’’MARITAL STATUSThe data on marital status were derived from answers toquestionnaire item 6, which was asked of all persons. Themarital status classification refers to the status at the timeof enumeration. Data on marital status are tabulated onlyfor 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 reportthe marital status they considered the most appropriate.Never Married—Includes all persons who have neverbeen married, including persons whose only marriage(s)was annulled.Ever Married—Includes persons married at the time ofenumeration (including those separated), widowed, or divorced.Now Married, Except Separated—Includes persons whosecurrent marriage has not ended through widowhood, divorce,or separation (regardless of previous marital history). Thecategory may also include couples who live together orpersons in common-law marriages if they consider thiscategory the most appropriate. In certain tabulations,currently married persons are further classified as ‘‘spousepresent’’ or ‘‘spouse absent.’’Separated—Includes persons legally separated or otherwiseabsent from their spouse because of marital discord.Included are persons who have been deserted or whohave parted because they no longer want to live togetherbut who have not obtained a divorce.Widowed—Includes widows and widowers who have notremarried.Divorced—Includes persons who are legally divorced andwho have not remarried.In selected sample tabulations, data for married andseparated persons are reorganized and combined withinformation on the presence of the spouse in the samehousehold.B–25

This category includespersons defined above as ‘‘separated.’’Spouse Present—Married persons whose wife or husbandwas enumerated as a member of the samehousehold, including those whose spouse may havebeen temporarily absent for such reasons as travel orhospitalization.Spouse Absent—Married persons whose wife or husbandwas not enumerated as a member of the samehousehold. This category also includes all married personsliving in group quarters.Separated—Defined above.Spouse Absent, Other—Married persons whose wife orhusband was not enumerated as a member of the samehousehold, excluding separated. Included is any personwhose spouse was employed and living away fromhome or in an institution or absent in the Armed Forces.Differences between the number of currently marriedmales and the number of currently married females occurbecause of reporting differences and because some husbandsand wives have their usual residence in differentareas. In sample tabulations, these differences can alsooccur because different weights are applied to the individual’sdata. Any differences between the number of ‘‘nowmarried, spouse present’’ males and females are duesolely to sample weighting. By definition, the numberswould be the same.When marital status was not reported, it was imputedaccording to the relationship to the householder and sexand age of the person. (For more information on imputation,see Appendix C, Accuracy of the Data.)Comparability—The <strong>1990</strong> marital status definitions arethe same as those used in 1980 with the exception of theterm ‘‘never married’’ which replaces the term ‘‘single’’ intabulations. A general marital status question has beenasked in every census since 1880.MOBILITY LIMITATION STATUSThe data on mobility limitation status were derived fromanswers to questionnaire item 19a, which was asked of asample of persons 15 years old and over. Persons wereidentified as having a mobility limitation if they had a healthconditionthathadlastedfor6ormoremonthsandwhichmade it difficult to go outside the home alone. Examples ofoutside activities on the questionnaire included shoppingand visiting the doctor’s office.The term ‘‘health condition’’ referred to both physicaland mental conditions. A temporary health problem, suchas a broken bone that was expected to heal normally, wasnot considered a health condition.Comparability—This was the first time that a question onmobility limitation was included in the census.PLACE OF BIRTHThe data on place of birth were derived from answers toquestionnaire item 8, which was asked on a sample basis.The place-of-birth question asked respondents to reportthe U.S. State, commonwealth or territory, or the foreigncountry where they were born. Persons born outside theUnited States were asked to report their place of birthaccording to current international boundaries. Since numerouschanges in boundaries of foreign countries haveoccurred in the last century, some persons may havereported their place of birth in terms of boundaries thatexisted at the time of their birth or emigration, or inaccordance with their own national preference.Persons not reporting place of birth were assigned thebirthplace of another family member or were allocated theresponse of another person with similar characteristics.Persons allocated as foreign born were not assigned aspecific country of birth but were classified as ‘‘Bornabroad, country not specified.’’Nativity—Information on place of birth and citizenshipwere used to classify the population into two major categories:native and foreign born. When information on placeof birth was not reported, nativity was assigned on thebasis of answers to citizenship, if reported, and othercharacteristics.Native—Includes persons born in the United States, PuertoRico, or an outlying area of the United States. The smallnumber of persons who were born in a foreign country buthave at least one American parent also are included in thiscategory.The native population is classified in the followinggroups: persons born in the State in which they resided atthe time of the census; persons born in a different State, byregion; persons born in Puerto Rico or an outlying area ofthe U.S.; and persons born abroad with at least oneAmerican parent.Foreign Born—Includes persons not classified as ‘‘Native.’’Prior to the 1970 census, persons not reporting place ofbirth were generally classified as native.The foreign-born population is shown by selected area,country, or region of birth; the places of birth shown in dataproducts were selected based on the number of respondentswho reported that area or country of birth.Comparability—Data on the State of birth of the nativepopulation have been collected in each census beginningwith that of 1850. Similar data were shown in tabulationsfor the 1980 census and other recent censuses. Nonresponsewas allocated in a similar manner in 1980; however,prior to 1980, nonresponse to the place of birthquestion was not allocated. Prior to the 1970 census,persons not reporting place of birth were generally classifiedas native.B–26 DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICS


JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 27 SESS: 109 OUTPUT: Mon Jul 12 09:35:09 1993 / pssw01/ disk2/ 90dec/ cp2/ usst/ appbThe questionnaire instruction to report mother’s State ofresidence instead of the person’s actual State of birth (ifborn in a hospital in a different State) was dropped in <strong>1990</strong>.Evaluation studies of 1970 and 1980 census data demonstratedthat this instruction was generally either ignored ormisunderstood. Since the hospital and the mother’s residenceis in the same State for most births, this change mayhave a slight effect on State of birth data for States withlarge metropolitan areas that straddle State lines.POVERTY STATUS IN 1989The data on poverty status were derived from answersto the same questions as the income data, questionnaireitems 32 and 33. (For more information, see the discussionunder ‘‘Income in 1989.’’) Poverty statistics presented incensus publications were based on a definition originatedby the Social Security Administration in 1964 and subsequentlymodified by Federal interagency committees in1969 and 1980 and prescribed by the Office of Managementand Budget in Directive 14 as the standard to beused by Federal agencies for statistical purposes.At the core of this definition was the 1961 economy foodplan, the least costly of four nutritionally adequate foodplans designed by the Department of Agriculture. It wasdetermined from the Agriculture Department’s 1955 surveyof food consumption that families of three or more personsspend approximately one-third of their income on food;hence, the poverty level for these families was set at threetimes the cost of the economy food plan. For smallerfamilies and persons living alone, the cost of the economyfood plan was multiplied by factors that were slightly higherto compensate for the relatively larger fixed expenses forthese smaller households.The income cutoffs used by the Census Bureau todetermine the poverty status of families and unrelatedindividuals included a set of 48 thresholds arranged in atwo-dimensional matrix consisting of family size (from oneperson to nine or more persons) cross-classified by presenceand number of family members under 18 years old(from no children present to eight or more children present).Unrelated individuals and two-person families were furtherdifferentiated by age of the householder (under 65 yearsold and 65 years old and over).The total income of each family or unrelated individual inthe sample was tested against the appropriate povertythreshold to determine the poverty status of that family orunrelated individual. If the total income was less than thecorresponding cutoff, the family or unrelated individual wasclassified as ‘‘below the poverty level.’’ The number ofpersons below the poverty level was the sum of thenumber of persons in families with incomes below thepoverty level and the number of unrelated individuals withincomes below the poverty level.The poverty thresholds are revised annually to allow forchanges in the cost of living as reflected in the ConsumerPrice Index. The average poverty threshold for a family offour persons was $12,674 in 1989. (For more information,DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICSsee table A below.) Poverty thresholds were applied on anational basis and were not adjusted for regional, State orlocal variations in the cost of living. For a detailed discussionof the poverty definition, see U.S. Bureau of theCensus, Current Population Reports, Series P-60, No. 171,Poverty in the United States: 1988 and 1989.Persons for Whom Poverty Status is Determined—Poverty status was determined for all persons exceptinstitutionalized persons, persons in military group quartersand in college dormitories, and unrelated individuals under15 years old. These groups also were excluded from thedenominator when calculating poverty rates.Specified Poverty Levels—Since the poverty levels currentlyin use by the Federal Government do not meet allthe needs of data users, some of the data are presentedfor alternate levels. These specified poverty levels areobtained by multiplying the income cutoffs at the povertylevel by the appropriate factor. For example, the averageincome cutoff at 125 percent of poverty level was $15,843($12,674 x 1.25) in 1989 for a family of four persons.Weighted Average Thresholds at the PovertyLevel—The average thresholds shown in the first columnof table A are weighted by the presence and number ofchildren. For example, the weighted average threshold fora given family size is obtained by multiplying the thresholdfor each presence and number of children category withinthe given family size by the number of families in thatcategory. These products are then aggregated across theentire range of presence and number of children categories,and the aggregate is divided by the total number offamilies in the group to yield the weighted average thresholdat the poverty level for that family size.Since the basic thresholds used to determine the povertystatus of families and unrelated individuals are appliedto all families and unrelated individuals, the weightedaverage poverty thresholds are derived using all familiesand unrelated individuals rather than just those classifiedas being below the poverty level. To obtain the weightedpoverty thresholds for families and unrelated individualsbelow alternate poverty levels, the weighted thresholdsshown in table A may be multiplied directly by the appropriatefactor. The weighted average thresholds presentedin the table are based on the March <strong>1990</strong> Current PopulationSurvey. However, these thresholds would not differsignificantly from those based on the <strong>1990</strong> census.Income Deficit—Represents the difference between thetotal income of families and unrelated individuals below thepoverty level and their respective poverty thresholds. Incomputing the income deficit, families reporting a netincome loss are assigned zero dollars and for such casesthe deficit is equal to the poverty threshold.This measure provided an estimate of the amount whichwould be required to raise the incomes of all poor familiesand unrelated individuals to their respective poverty thresholds.The income deficit is thus a measure of the degree ofB–27

However,caution must be used in comparing the averagedeficits of families with different characteristics. Apparentdifferences in average income deficits may, to someextent, be a function of differences in family size.Mean Income Deficit—Represents the amount obtainedby dividing the total income deficit of a group below thepoverty level by the number of families (or unrelatedindividuals) in that group.Comparability—The poverty definition used in the <strong>1990</strong>and 1980 censuses differed slightly from the one used inthe 1970 census. Three technical modifications weremade to the definition used in the 1970 census as describedbelow:1. The separate thresholds for families with a femalehouseholder with no husband present and all otherfamilies were eliminated. For the 1980 and <strong>1990</strong>censuses, the weighted average of the poverty thresholdsfor these two types of families was applied to alltypes of families, regardless of the sex of the householder.2. Farm families and farm unrelated individuals no longerhad a set of poverty thresholds that were lower thanthe thresholds applied to nonfarm families and unrelatedindividuals. The farm thresholds were 85 percentof the corresponding levels for nonfarm families in the1970 census. The same thresholds were applied to allfamilies and unrelated individuals regardless of residencein 1980 and <strong>1990</strong>.3. The thresholds by size of family were extended fromseven or more persons in 1970 to nine or morepersons in 1980 and <strong>1990</strong>.These changes resulted in a minimal increase in thenumber of poor at the national level. For a completediscussion of these modifications and their impact, see theCurrent Population Reports, Series P-60, No. 133.The population covered in the poverty statistics derivedfrom the 1980 and <strong>1990</strong> censuses was essentially thesame as in the 1970 census. The only difference was thatin 1980 and <strong>1990</strong>, unrelated individuals under 15 years oldwere excluded from the poverty universe, while in 1970,only those under 14 years old were excluded. The povertydata from the 1960 census excluded all persons in groupquarters and included all unrelated individuals regardlessof age. It was unlikely that these differences in populationcoverage would have had significant impact when comparingthe poverty data for persons since the 1960 censuses.Current Population Survey—Because of differences inthe questionnaires and data collection procedures, estimatesof the number of persons below the poverty levelby various characteristics from the <strong>1990</strong> census maydiffer from those reported in the March <strong>1990</strong> CurrentPopulation Survey.RACEThe data on race were derived from answers to questionnaireitem 4, which was asked of all persons. Theconcept of race as used by the Census Bureau reflectsself-identification; it does not denote any clear-cut scientificdefinition of biological stock. The data for race representself-classification by people according to the racewith which they most closely identify. Furthermore, it isrecognized that the categories of the race item includeboth racial and national origin or socio-cultural groups.During direct interviews conducted by enumerators, if aperson could not provide a single response to the racequestion, he or she was asked to select, based onself-identification, the group which best described his orher racial identity. If a person could not provide a singlerace response, the race of the mother was used.

The racial categories used in the <strong>1990</strong> censusdata 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 AfricanAmerican, Afro-American, Black Puerto Rican, Jamaican,Nigerian, West Indian, or Haitian.American Indian, Eskimo, or Aleut—Includes personswho classified themselves as such in one of the specificrace categories identified below.American Indian—Includes persons who indicated theirrace as ‘‘American Indian,’’ entered the name of anIndian tribe, or reported such entries as CanadianIndian, French-American Indian, or Spanish-AmericanIndian.American Indian Tribe—Persons who identified themselvesas American Indian were asked to report theirenrolled or principal tribe. Therefore, tribal data intabulations reflect the written tribal entries reportedon the questionnaires. Some of the entries (forexample, Iroquois, Sioux, Colorado River, and Flathead)represent nations or reservations.The information on tribe is based on self-identificationand therefore does not reflect any designation ofFederally- or State-recognized tribe. Information onAmerican Indian tribes is presented in summary tapefiles and special data products. The information isderived from the American Indian Detailed TribalClassification List for the <strong>1990</strong> census. The classificationlist represents all tribes, bands, and clans thathad a specified number of American Indians reportedon the census questionnaire.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, andPribilovian.Asian or Pacific <strong>Island</strong>er—Includes persons who reportedin one of the Asian or Pacific <strong>Island</strong>er groups listed on thequestionnaire or who provided write-in responses such asThai, Nepali, or Tongan. A more detailed listing of thegroups comprising the Asian or Pacific <strong>Island</strong>er populationis presented in figure 2 below. In some data products,information is presented separately for the Asian populationand the Pacific <strong>Island</strong>er population.DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICSAsian—Includes ‘‘Chinese,’’ ‘‘Filipino,’’ ‘‘Japanese,’’ ‘‘AsianIndian,’’ ‘‘Korean,’’ ‘‘Vietnamese,’’ and ‘‘Other Asian.’’ Insome 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. In special reports on theAsian or Pacific <strong>Island</strong>er population, information onpersons who identified themselves as Taiwanese areshown 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 raceas ‘‘Japanese’’ and persons who identified themselvesas Nipponese or Japanese American.Asian Indian—Includes persons who indicated theirrace as ‘‘Asian Indian’’ and persons who identifiedthemselves as Bengalese, Bharat, Dravidian, East Indian,or Goanese.Korean—Includes persons who indicated their race as‘‘Korean’’ and persons who identified themselves asKorean American.Vietnamese—Includes persons who indicated their raceas ‘‘Vietnamese’’ and persons who identified themselvesas Vietnamese American.Cambodian—Includes persons who provided a write-inresponse such as Cambodian or Cambodia.Hmong—Includes persons who provided a write-in responsesuch as Hmong, Laohmong, or Mong.Laotian—Includes persons who provided a write-in responsesuch as Laotian, Laos, or Lao.Thai—Includes persons who provided a write-in responsesuch as Thai, Thailand, or Siamese.Other Asian—Includes persons who provided a write-inresponse of Bangladeshi, Burmese, Indonesian, Pakistani,Sri Lankan, Amerasian, or Eurasian.

See figure 2 for other groups comprising‘‘Other Pacific <strong>Island</strong>er.’’Other Race—Includes all other persons not included inthe ‘‘White,’’ ‘‘Black,’’ ‘‘American Indian, Eskimo, or Aleut,’’and the ‘‘Asian or Pacific <strong>Island</strong>er’’ race categories describedabove. Persons reporting in the ‘‘Other race’’ category andproviding write-in entries such as multiracial, multiethnic,mixed, interracial, Wesort, or a Spanish/ Hispanic origingroup (such as Mexican, Cuban, or Puerto Rican) areincluded here.Written entries to three categories on the race item—‘‘Indian (Amer.),’’ ‘‘Other Asian or Pacific <strong>Island</strong>er (API),’’and ‘‘Other race’’—were reviewed, edited, and coded bysubject matter specialists. (For more information on thecoding operation, see the section below that discusses‘‘Comparability.’’)The written entries under ‘‘Indian (Amer.)’’ and ‘‘OtherAsian or Pacific <strong>Island</strong>er (API)’’ were reviewed and codedduring 100-percent processing of the <strong>1990</strong> census questionnaires.A substantial portion of the entries for the‘‘Other race’’ category also were reviewed, edited, andcoded during the 100-percent processing. The remainingentries under ‘‘Other race’’ underwent review and codingduring sample processing. Most of the written entriesreviewed and coded during sample processing were thoseindicating Hispanic origin such as Mexican, Cuban, orPuerto Rican.If the race entry for a member of a household wasmissing on the questionnaire, race was assigned basedupon the reported entries of race by other householdmembers using specific rules of precedence of householdrelationship. For example, if race was missing for thedaughter of the householder, then the race of her mother(as female householder or female spouse) would beassigned. If there was no female householder or spouse inthe household, the daughter would be assigned her father’s(male householder) race. If race was not reported foranyone in the household, the race of a householder in apreviously processed household was assigned. This procedureis a variation of the general imputation proceduresdescribed in Appendix C, Accuracy of the Data.Limitation of the Data—In the 1980 census, a relativelyhigh proportion (20 percent) of American Indians did notreport any tribal entry in the race item. Evaluation of thepre-census tests indicated that changes made for the <strong>1990</strong>race item should improve the reporting of tribes in the ruralareas (especially on reservations) for the <strong>1990</strong> census.The results for urban areas were inconclusive. Also, theprecensus tests indicated that there may be overreportingof the Cherokee tribe. An evaluation of 1980 census datashowed overreporting of Cherokee in urban areas or areaswhere the number of American Indians was sparse.In the <strong>1990</strong> census, respondents sometimes did not fillin a circle or filled the ‘‘Other race’’ circle and wrote in aresponse, such as Arab, Polish, or African American in theshared write-in box for ‘‘Other race’’ and ‘‘Other API’’responses. During the automated coding process, theseresponses were edited and assigned to the appropriateracial designation. Also, some Hispanic origin persons didnot fill in a circle, but provided entries such as Mexican orPuerto Rican. These persons were classified in the ‘‘Otherrace’’ category during the coding and editing process.There may be some minor differences between sampledata and 100-percent data because sample processingincluded additional edits not included in the 100-percentprocessing.Figure 2.

The <strong>1990</strong>census was the first census to undertake, on a 100-percent basis, an automated review, edit, and codingoperation for written responses to the race item. Theautomated coding system used in the <strong>1990</strong> census greatlyreduced the potential for error associated with a clericalreview. Specialists with a thorough knowledge of the racesubject matter reviewed, edited, coded, and resolvedinconsistent or incomplete responses. In the 1980 census,there was only a limited clerical review of the race responseson the 100-percent forms with a full clerical review conductedonly on the sample questionnaires.Another major difference between the <strong>1990</strong> and precedingcensuses is the handling of the write-in responsesfor the Asian or Pacific <strong>Island</strong>er populations. In addition tothe nine Asian or Pacific <strong>Island</strong>er categories shown on thequestionnaire under the spanner ‘‘Asian or Pacific <strong>Island</strong>er(API),’’ the <strong>1990</strong> census race item provided a new residualcategory, ‘‘Other API,’’ for Asian or Pacific <strong>Island</strong>er personswho did not report in one of the listed Asian or Pacific<strong>Island</strong>er groups. During the coding operation, write-inresponses for ‘‘Other API’’ were reviewed, coded, andassigned to the appropriate classification. For example, in<strong>1990</strong>, a write-in entry of Laotian, Thai, or Javanese isclassified as ‘‘Other Asian,’’ while a write-in entry ofTongan or Fijian is classified as ‘‘Other Pacific <strong>Island</strong>er.’’ Inthe <strong>1990</strong> census, these persons were able to identify as‘‘Other API’’ in both the 100-percent and sample operations.In the 1980 census, the nine Asian or Pacific <strong>Island</strong>ergroups were also listed separately. However, persons notbelonging to these nine groups wrote in their specific racialgroup under the ‘‘Other’’ race category. Persons with awritten entry such as Laotian, Thai, or Tongan, weretabulated and published as ‘‘Other race’’ in the 100-percent processing operation in 1980, but were reclassifiedas ‘‘Other Asian and Pacific <strong>Island</strong>er’’ in 1980 sampletabulations. In 1980 special reports on the Asian or Pacific<strong>Island</strong>er populations, data were shown separately for‘‘Other Asian’’ and ‘‘Other Pacific <strong>Island</strong>er.’’The 1970 questionnaire did not have separate racecategories for Asian Indian, Vietnamese, Samoan, andGuamanian. These persons indicated their race in the‘‘Other’’ category and later, through the editing process,were assigned to a specific group. For example, in 1970,Asian Indians were reclassified as ‘‘White,’’ while Vietnamese,Guamanians, and Samoans were included in the‘‘Other’’ category.Another difference between <strong>1990</strong> and preceding censusesis the approach taken when persons of Spanish/Hispanic origin did not report in a specific race category butreported as ‘‘Other race’’ or ‘‘Other.’’ These personscommonly provided a write-in entry such as Mexican,Venezuelan, or Latino. In the <strong>1990</strong> and 1980 censuses,DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICSthese entries remained in the ‘‘Other race’’ or ‘‘Other’’category, respectively. In the 1970 census, most of thesepersons were included in the ‘‘White’’ category.REFERENCE WEEKThe data on labor force status and journey to work wererelated to the reference week; that is, the calendar weekpreceding the date on which the respondents completedtheir questionnaires or were interviewed by enumerators.This week is not the same for all respondents since theenumeration was not completed in one week. The occurrenceof holidays during the enumeration period couldaffect the data on actual hours worked during the referenceweek, but probably had no effect on overall measurementof employment status (see the discussion below on‘‘Comparability’’).Comparability—The reference weeks for the <strong>1990</strong> and1980 censuses differ in that Passover and Good Fridayoccurred in the first week of April 1980, but in the secondweek of April <strong>1990</strong>. Many workers presumably took timeoff for those observances. The differing occurrence ofthese holidays could affect the comparability of the <strong>1990</strong>and 1980 data on actual hours worked for some areas ifthe respective weeks were the reference weeks for asignificant number of persons. The holidays probably didnot affect the overall measurement of employment statussince this information was based on work activity duringthe entire reference week.RESIDENCE IN 1985The data on residence in 1985 were derived fromanswers to questionnaire item 14b, which asked for theState (or foreign country), county, and place of residenceon April 1, 1985, for those persons reporting in question14a that on that date they lived in a different house thantheir current residence. Residence in 1985 is used inconjunction with location of current residence to determinethe extent of residential mobility of the population and theresulting redistribution of the population across the variousStates, metropolitan areas, and regions of the country.When no information on residence in 1985 was reportedfor a person, information for other family members, ifavailable, was used to assign a location of residence in1985. All cases of nonresponse or incomplete responsethat were not assigned a previous residence based oninformation from other family members were allocated theprevious residence of another person with similar characteristicswho provided complete information.The tabulation category, ‘‘Same house,’’ includes allpersons 5 years old and over who did not move during the5 years as well as those who had moved but by <strong>1990</strong> hadreturned to their 1985 residence. The category, ‘‘Differenthouse in the United States,’’ includes persons who lived inB–31

The category, ‘‘Abroad,’’includes those persons who were residing in a foreigncountry, Puerto Rico, or an outlying area of the U.S. in1985, including members of the Armed Forces and theirdependents. Some tabulations show movers who wereresiding in Puerto Rico or an outlying area in 1985 separatelyfrom those residing in other countries.In tabulations for metropolitan areas, movers are categorizedaccording to the metropolitan status of their currentand previous residences, resulting in such groups asmovers within an MSA/ PMSA, movers between MSA/PMSA’s, movers from nonmetropolitan areas to MSA/ PMSA,and movers from central cities to the remainder of anMSA/ PMSA. In some tabulations, these categories arefurther subdivided by size of MSA/ PMSA, region of currentor previous residence, or movers within or between centralcities and the remainder of the same or a different MSA/ PMSA.Thesizecategoriesusedinsometabulationsforboth1985 and <strong>1990</strong> residence refer to the populations of theMSA/ PMSA on April 1, <strong>1990</strong>; that is, at the end of themigration interval.Some tabulations present data on inmigrants, outmigrants,and net migration. ‘‘Inmigrants’’ are generally definedas those persons who entered a specified area by crossingits boundary from some point outside the area. In sometabulations, movers from abroad are included in the numberof inmigrants; in others, only movers within the UnitedStates are included.‘‘Outmigrants’’ are persons who depart from a specificarea by crossing its boundary to a point outside it, butwithout leaving the United States. ‘‘Net migration’’ iscalculated by subtracting the number of outmigrants fromthe number of inmigrants and, depending upon the particulartabulation, may or may not include movers fromabroad. The net migration for the area is net inmigration ifthe result was positive and net outmigration if the resultwas negative. In the tabulations, net outmigration is indicatedby a minus sign (-).Inmigrants and outmigrants for States include onlythose persons who did not live in the same State in 1985and <strong>1990</strong>; that is, they exclude persons who movedbetween counties within the same State. Thus, the sum ofthe inmigrants to (or outmigrants from) all counties in anyState is greater than the number of inmigrants to (oroutmigrants from) that State. However, in the case of netmigration, the sum of the nets for all the counties within aState equal the net for the State. In the same fashion, thenet migration for a division or region equals the sum of thenets for the States comprising that division or region, whilethe number of inmigrants and outmigrants for that divisionor region is less than the sum of the inmigrants oroutmigrants for the individual States.The number of persons who were living in a differenthouse in 1985 is somewhat less than the total number ofmoves during the 5-year period. Some persons in the samehouse at the two dates had moved during the 5-year periodbut by the time of the census had returned to their 1985residence. Other persons who were living in a differenthouse had made one or more intermediate moves. Forsimilar reasons, the number of persons living in a differentcounty, MSA/ PMSA, or State or moving between nonmetropolitanareas may be understated.Comparability—Similar questions were asked on all previouscensuses beginning in 1940, except the questions in1950 referred to residence 1 year earlier rather than 5years earlier. Although the questions in the 1940 censuscovered a 5-year period, comparability with that censuswas reduced somewhat because of different definitionsand categories of tabulation. Comparability with the 1960and 1970 census is also somewhat reduced becausenonresponse was not allocated in those earlier censuses.For the 1980 census, nonresponse was allocated in amanner similar to the <strong>1990</strong> allocation scheme.SCHOOL ENROLLMENT AND LABOR FORCESTATUSTabulation of data on enrollment, educational attainment,and labor force status for the population 16 to 19years old allows for calculation of the proportion of the agegroup who are not enrolled in school and not high schoolgraduates or ‘‘dropouts’’ and an unemployment rate for the‘‘dropout’’ population. Definitions of the three topics anddescriptions of the census items from which they werederived are presented in ‘‘Educational Attainment,’’ ‘‘EmploymentStatus,’’ and ‘‘School Enrollment and Type of School.’’The published tabulations include both the civilian andArmed Forces populations, but labor force status is providedfor the civilian population only. Therefore, the componentlabor force statuses may not add to the total linesenrolled in school, high school graduate, and not highschool graduate. The difference is Armed Forces.Comparability—The tabulation of school enrollment bylabor force status is similar to that published in 1980census reports. The 1980 census tabulation included asingle data line for Armed Forces; however, enrollment,attainment, and labor force status data were shown for thecivilian population only. In 1970, a tabulation was includedfor 16 to 21 year old males not attending school.SCHOOL ENROLLMENT AND TYPE OF SCHOOLData on school enrollment were derived from answersto questionnaire item 11, which was asked of a sample ofpersons.

The question included instructions to‘‘include only nursery school, kindergarten, elementaryschool, and schooling which would lead to a high schooldiploma or a college degree’’ as regular school. Instructionsincluded in the <strong>1990</strong> respondent instruction guide,which was mailed with the census questionnaire, furtherspecified that enrollment in a trade or business school,company training, or tutoring were not to be includedunless the course would be accepted for credit at a regularelementary school, high school, or college. Persons whodid not answer the enrollment question were assigned theenrollment status and type of school of a person with thesame age, race or Hispanic origin, and, at older ages, sex,whose residence was in the same or a nearby area.Public and Private School—Includes persons who attendedschool in the reference period and indicated they wereenrolled by marking one of the questionnaire categories foreither ‘‘public school, public college’’ or ‘‘private school,private college.’’ The instruction guide defines a publicschool as ‘‘any school or college controlled and supportedby a local, county, State, or Federal Government.’’ Schoolssupported and controlled primarily by religious organizationsor other private groups are defined as private.Persons who filled both the ‘‘public’’ and ‘‘private’’ circlesare edited to the first entry, ‘‘public.’’Level of School in Which Enrolled—Persons who wereenrolled in school were classified as enrolled in ‘‘preprimaryschool,’’ ‘‘elementary or high school,’’ or ‘‘college’’according to their response to question 12 (years of schoolcompleted or highest degree received). Persons who wereenrolled and reported completing nursery school or lesswere classified as enrolled in ‘‘preprimary school,’’ whichincludes kindergarten. Similarly, enrolled persons who hadcompleted at least kindergarten, but not high school, wereclassified as enrolled in elementary or high school. Enrolledpersons who reported completing high school or somecollege or having received a post-secondary degree wereclassified as enrolled in ‘‘college.’’ Enrolled persons whoreported completing the twelfth grade but receiving ‘‘NODIPLOMA’’wereclassifiedasenrolledinhighschool.(Formore information on level of school, see the discussionunder ‘‘Educational Attainment.’’)Comparability—School enrollment questions have beenincluded in the census since 1840; grade attended wasfirst asked in 1940; type of school was first asked in 1960.Before 1940, the enrollment question in various censusesreferred to attendance in the preceding six months or thepreceding year. In 1940, the reference was to attendancein the month preceding the census, and in the 1950 andsubsequent censuses, the question referred to attendancein the two months preceding the census date.Until the 1910 census, there were no instructions limitingthe kinds of schools in which enrollment was to becounted. Starting in 1910, the instructions indicated thatDEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICSattendance at ‘‘school, college, or any educational institution’’was to be counted. In 1930 an instruction to include‘‘night school’’ was added. In the 1940 instructions, nightschool, extension school, or vocational school were includedonly if the school was part of the regular school system.Correspondence school work of any kind was excluded. Inthe 1950 instructions, the term ‘‘regular school’’ wasintroduced, and it was defined as schooling which ‘‘advancesa person towards an elementary or high school diploma ora college, university, or professional school degree.’’ Vocational,trade, or business schools were excluded unlessthey were graded and considered part of a regular schoolsystem. On-the-job training was excluded, as was nurseryschool. Instruction by correspondence was excluded unlessit was given by a regular school and counted towardspromotion.In 1960, the question used the term ‘‘regular school orcollege’’ and a similar, though expanded, definition of‘‘regular’’ was included in the instructions, which continuedto exclude nursery school. Because of the census’ use ofmailed questionnaires, the 1960 census was the first inwhich instructions were written for the respondent as wellas enumerators. In the 1970 census, the questionnaireused the phrase ‘‘regular school or college’’ and includedinstructions to ‘‘count nursery school, kindergarten, andschooling which leads to an elementary school certificate,high school diploma, or college degree.’’ Instructions in aseparate document specified that to be counted as regularschool, nursery school must include instruction as animportant and integral phase of its program, and continuedthe exclusion of vocational, trade, and business schools.The 1980 census question was very similar to the 1970question, but the separate instruction booklet did notrequire that nursery school include substantial instructionalcontent in order to be counted.The age range for which enrollment data have beenobtained and published has varied over the censuses.Information on enrollment was recorded for persons of allages in the 1930 and 1940 and 1970 through <strong>1990</strong>; forpersons under age 30, in 1950; and for persons age 5 to34, in 1960. Most of the published enrollment figuresreferred to persons age 5 to 20 in the 1930 census, 5 to 24in 1940, 5 to 29 in 1950, 5 to 34 in 1960, 3 to 34 in 1970,and 3 years old and over in 1980. This growth in the agegroup whose enrollment was reported reflects increasedinterest in the number of children in preprimary schoolsand in the number of older persons attending colleges anduniversities.In the 1950 and subsequent censuses, college studentswere enumerated where they lived while attending college,whereas in earlier censuses, they generally were enumeratedat their parental homes. This change should not affectthe comparability of national figures on college enrollmentsince 1940; however, it may affect the comparability overtime of enrollment figures at sub-national levels.Type of school was first introduced in the 1960 census,where a separate question asked the enrolled personswhether they were in a ‘‘public’’ or ‘‘private’’ school.

Enumeratorswere instructed that ‘‘for a person still in school, thelast grade completed will be the grade preceding the onein which he or she was now enrolled.’’ From 1950 to 1980,grade of enrollment was obtained from the highest gradeattended in the two-part question used to measure educationalattainment. (For more information, see the discussionunder ‘‘Educational Attainment.’’) The form of thequestion from which level of enrollment was derived in the<strong>1990</strong> census most closely corresponds to the questionused in 1940. While data from prior censuses can beaggregated to provide levels of enrollment comparable tothe <strong>1990</strong> census, <strong>1990</strong> data cannot be disaggregated toshow single grade of enrollment as in previous censuses.Data on school enrollment were also collected andpublished by other Federal, State, and local governmentagencies. Where these data were obtained from administrativerecords of school systems and institutions of higherlearning, they were only roughly comparable with data frompopulation censuses and household surveys because ofdifferences in definitions and concepts, subject mattercovered, time references, and enumeration methods. Atthe local level, the difference between the location of theinstitution and the residence of the student may affect thecomparability of census and administrative data. Differencesbetween the boundaries of school districts andcensus geographic units also may affect these comparisons.SELF-CARE LIMITATION STATUSThe data on self-care limitation status were derived fromanswers to questionnaire item 19b, which was asked of asample of persons 15 years old and over. Persons wereidentified as having a self-care limitation if they had ahealthconditionthathadlastedfor6ormoremonthsandwhich made it difficult to take care of their own personalneeds, such as dressing, bathing, or getting around insidethe home.The term ‘‘health condition’’ referred to both physicaland mental conditions. A temporary health problem, suchas a broken bone that was expected to heal normally wasnot considered a health condition.Comparability—This was the first time that a question onself-care limitation was included in the census.SEXThe data on sex were derived from answers to questionnaireitem 3, which was asked of all persons. For mostcases in which sex was not reported, it was determined bythe appropriate entry from the person’s given name andhousehold relationship. Otherwise, sex was imputed accordingto the relationship to the householder and the age andmarital status of the person. For more information onimputation, see Appendix C, Accuracy of the Data.Sex Ratio—A measure derived by dividing the total numberof males by the total number of females and multiplyingby 100.Comparability—A question on the sex of individuals hasbeen asked of the total population in every census.VETERAN STATUSData on veteran status, period of military service, andyears of military service were derived from answers toquestionnaire item 17, which was asked of a sample ofpersons.Veteran Status—The data on veteran status were derivedfrom responses to question 17a. For census data products,a ‘‘civilian veteran’’ is a person 16 years old or overwho had served (even for a short time) but is not nowservingonactivedutyintheU.S.Army,Navy,AirForce,Marine Corps, or the Coast Guard, or who served as aMerchant Marine seaman during World War II. Personswho served in the National Guard or military Reserves areclassified as veterans only if they were ever called orordered to active duty not counting the 4-6 months forinitial training or yearly summer camps. All other civilians16 years old and over are classified as nonveterans.Period of Military Service—Persons who indicated inquestion 17a that they had served on active duty (civilianveterans) or were now on active duty were asked toindicate in question 17b the period or periods in which theyserved. Persons serving in at least one wartime period areclassified in their most recent wartime period. For example,persons who served both during the Korean conflict andthe post-Korean peacetime era between February 1955and July 1964 are classified in one of the two ‘‘Koreanconflict’’ categories. If the same person had also servedduring the Vietnam era, he or she would instead beincluded in the ‘‘Vietnam era and Korean conflict’’ category.The responses were edited to eliminate inconsistenciesbetween reported period(s) of service and the age ofthe person and to cancel out reported combinations ofperiods containing unreasonable gaps (for example, aperson could not serve during World War I and the Koreanconflict without serving during World War II). Note that theperiod of service categories shown in this report aremutually exclusive.Years of Military Service—Persons who indicated inquestion 17a that they had served on active duty (civilianveterans) or were now on active duty were asked to reportB–34 DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICS

The data were edited for consistency with responsesto question 17b (Period of Military Service) and with theage of the person.Limitation of the Data—There may be a tendency for thefollowing kinds of persons to report erroneously that theyserved on active duty in the Armed Forces: (a) personswho served in the National Guard or military Reserves butwere never called to active duty; (b) civilian employees orvolunteers for the USO, Red Cross, or the Department ofDefense (or its predecessor Departments, War and Navy);and (c) employees of the Merchant Marine or Public HealthService. There may also be a tendency for persons toerroneously round up months to the nearest year inquestion 17c (for example, persons with 1 year 8 monthsof active duty military service may mistakenly report ‘‘2years’’).Comparability—Since census data on veterans werebased on self-reported responses, they may differ fromdata from other sources such as administrative records ofthe Department of Defense. Census data may also differfrom Veterans Administration data on the benefits-eligiblepopulation, since factors determining eligibility for veteransbenefits differ from the rules for classifying veterans in thecensus.The wording of the question on veteran status (17a) for<strong>1990</strong> was expanded from the veteran/ not veteran questionin 1980 to include questions on current active dutystatus and service in the military Reserves and the NationalGuard. The expansion was intended to clarify the appropriateresponse for persons in the Armed Forces and forpersons who served in the National Guard or militaryReserve units only. For the first time in a census, serviceduring World War II as a Merchant Marine Seaman wasconsidered active-duty military service and persons withsuch service were counted as veterans. An additionalperiod of military service, ‘‘September 1980 or later’’ wasadded in <strong>1990</strong>. As in 1970 and 1980, persons reportingmore than one period of service are shown in the mostrecent wartime period of service category. Question 17c(Years of Military Service) was new for <strong>1990</strong>.WORK DISABILITY STATUSThe data on work disability were derived from answersto questionnaire item 18, which was asked of a sample ofpersons 15 years old and over. Persons were identified ashaving a work disability if they had a health condition thathadlastedfor6ormoremonthsandwhichlimitedthekindor amount of work they could do at a job or business. Aperson was limited in the kind of work he or she could doif the person had a health condition which restricted his orher choice of jobs. A person was limited in the amount ofwork if he or she was not able to work full-time. Personswith a work disability were further classified as ‘‘Preventedfrom working’’ or ‘‘Not prevented from working.’’DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICSThe term ‘‘health condition’’ referred to both physicaland mental conditions. A temporary health problem, suchas a broken bone that was expected to heal normally, wasnot considered a health condition.Comparability—The wording of the question on workdisability was the same in <strong>1990</strong> as in 1980. Information onwork disability was first collected in 1970. In that census,the work disability question did not contain a clauserestricting the definition of disability to limitations causedby a health condition that had lasted 6 or more months;however, it did contain a separate question about theduration of the disability.WORK STATUS IN 1989The data on work status in 1989 were derived fromanswers to questionnaire item 31, which was asked of asample of persons. Persons 16 years old and over whoworked 1 or more weeks according to the criteria describedbelow are classified as ‘‘Worked in 1989.’’ All otherpersons 16 years old and over are classified as ‘‘Did notwork in 1989.’’ Some tabulations showing work status in1989 include 15 year olds; these persons, by definition, areclassified as ‘‘Did not work in 1989.’’Weeks Worked in 1989The data on weeks worked in 1989 were derived fromresponses to questionnaire item 31b. Question 31b (WeeksWorked in 1989) was asked of persons 16 years old andover who indicated in question 31a that they worked in1989.The data pertain to the number of weeks during 1989 inwhich a person did any work for pay or profit (including paidvacationandpaidsickleave)orworkedwithoutpayonafamily farm or in a family business. Weeks of active servicein the Armed Forces are also included.Usual Hours Worked Per Week Worked in 1989The data on usual hours worked per week worked in1989 were derived from answers to questionnaire item31c. This question was asked of persons 16 years old andover who indicated that they worked in 1989.The data pertain to the number of hours a personusually worked during the weeks worked in 1989. Therespondent was to report the number of hours worked perweek in the majority of the weeks he or she worked in1989. If the hours worked per week varied considerablyduring 1989, the respondent was to report an approximateaverage of the hours worked per week. The statistics onusual hours worked per week in 1989 are not necessarilyrelated to the data on actual hours worked during thecensus reference week (question 21b).B–35

The first identified personswith any work experience during the year and, thus,indicated those persons for whom the questions on numberof weeks worked applied. In 1940 and 1950, however,the questionnaires contained only a single question onnumber of weeks worked.In 1970, persons responded to the question on weeksworked by indicating one of six weeks-worked intervals. In1980 and <strong>1990</strong>, persons were asked to enter the specificnumber of weeks they worked.YEAR OF ENTRYThe data on year of entry were derived from answers toquestionnaire item 10, which was asked of a sample ofpersons. The question, ‘‘When did this person come to theUnited States to stay?’’ was asked of persons who indicatedin the question on citizenship that they were not bornin the United States. (For more information, see thediscussion under ‘‘Citizenship.’’)The <strong>1990</strong> census questions, tabulations, and censusdata products about citizenship and year of entry includeno reference to immigration. All persons who were bornand resided outside the United States before becomingresidents of the United States have a date of entry. Someof these persons are U.S. citizens by birth (e.g., personsborn in Puerto Rico or born abroad of American parents).To avoid any possible confusion concerning the date ofentry of persons who are U.S. citizens by birth, the term,‘‘year of entry’’ is used in this report instead of the term‘‘year of immigration.’’Limitation of the Data—The census questions on nativity,citizenship, and year of entry were not designed to measurethe degree of permanence of residence in the UnitedStates. The phrase, ‘‘to stay’’ was used to obtain the yearin which the person became a resident of the UnitedStates. Although the respondent was directed to indicatethe year he or she entered the country ‘‘to stay,’’ it wasdifficult to ensure that respondents interpreted the phrasecorrectly.Comparability—A question on year of entry, (alternatelycalled ‘‘year of immigration’’) was asked in each decennialcensus from 1890 to 1930, 1970, and 1980. In 1980, thequestion on year of entry included six arrival time intervals.The number of arrival intervals was expanded to ten in<strong>1990</strong>. In 1980, the question on year of entry was askedonly of the foreign-born population. In <strong>1990</strong>, all personswho responded to the long-form questionnaire and werenot born in the United States were to complete thequestion on year of entry.DERIVED MEASURESCensus data products include various derived measuressuch as medians, means, and percentages, as well ascertain rates and ratios. Derived measures which round toless than 0.1 are not shown but indicated as zero. Inprinted reports, zero is indicated by showing a dash (–).InterpolationInterpolation is frequently used in calculating mediansor quartiles based on interval data and in approximatingstandard errors from tables. Linear interpolation is used toestimate 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 medianincome within intervals wider than $2,500. In Pareto interpolation,the logarithm of the median is derived by interpolatingbetween the logarithms of the upper and lowerincome limits of the median category.MeanThis measure represents an arithmetic average of a setof values. It is derived by dividing the sum of a group ofnumerical items (or aggregate) by the total number ofitems. Aggregates are used in computing mean values. Forexample, mean family income is obtained by dividing theaggregate of all income reported by persons in families byB–36 DEFINITIONS OF SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICS

(Additional information onmeans and aggregates is included in the separate explanationsof many population and housing subjects.)MedianThis measure represents the middle value in a distribution.The median divides the total frequency into two equalparts: one-half of the cases fall below the median andone-half of the cases exceed the median. The median iscomputed on the basis of the distribution as tabulated,which is sometimes more detailed than the distributionshown in specific census publications and other dataproducts.In reports, if the median falls within the upper interval ofan open-ended distribution, the median is shown as theinitial value of the interval followed by a plus sign (+ ), or ifwithin the lower interval, the median is shown as the uppervalueofthecategoryfollowedbyaminussign(–).Forsummary tape files, if the median falls within the upper orlower interval, it is set to a specified value.

These comparisons are made intwo ways: (1) subtraction which provides an absolutemeasure of the difference between two items and (2) thequotient of two numbers which provides a relative measureof difference.QuartileThis measure divides a distribution into four equal parts.The first quartile (or lower quartile) is the value that definesthe upper limit of the lowest one-quarter of the cases. Thesecond quartile is the median. The third quartile (or upperquartile) defines the lower limit of the upper one-quarter ofthe cases in the distribution. The difference between theupper and lower quartiles is called the interquartile range.This interquartile range is less affected by wide variationsthan is the mean.

The data are estimates of theactual figures that would have been obtained from acomplete count. Estimates derived from a sample areexpected to be different from the 100-percent figuresbecause they are subject to sampling and nonsamplingerrors. Sampling error in data arises from the selection ofpersons and housing units to be included in the sample.Nonsampling error affects both sample and 100-percentdata, and is introduced as a result of errors that may occurduring the collection and processing phases of the census.Provided below is a detailed discussion of both types oferrors and a description of the estimation procedures.SAMPLE DESIGNEvery person and housing unit in the United States wasasked certain basic demographic and housing questions(for example, race, age, marital status, housing value, orrent). A sample of these persons and housing units wasasked more detailed questions about such items as income,occupation, and housing costs in addition to the basicdemographic and housing information. The primary samplingunit for the <strong>1990</strong> census was the housing unit,including all occupants. For persons living in group quarters,the sampling unit was the person. Persons in groupquarters were sampled at a 1-in-6 rate.The sample designation method depended on the datacollection procedures. Approximately 95 percent of thepopulation was enumerated by the mailback procedure. Inthese areas, the Bureau of the Census either purchased acommercial mailing list, which was updated by the UnitedStates Postal Service and Census Bureau field staff, orprepared a mailing list by canvassing and listing eachaddress in the area prior to Census Day. These lists werecomputerized and the appropriate units were electronicallydesignated as sample units. The questionnaires wereeither mailed or hand-delivered to the addresses withinstructions to complete and mail back the form.ACCURACY OF THE DATAHousing units in governmental units with a precensus(1988) estimated population of fewer than 2,500 personswere sampled at 1-in-2. Governmental units were definedfor sampling purposes as all incorporated places, allcounties, 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, <strong>Rhode</strong> <strong>Island</strong>, Vermont,and Wisconsin. Housing units in census tracts andblock numbering areas (BNA’s) with a precensus housingunit count below 2,000 housing units were sampled at1-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 ormore housing units were sampled at 1-in-8 for thoseportions not in small governmental units.In list/ enumerate areas (about 5 percent of the population),each enumerator was given a blank address registerwith designated sample lines. Beginning about CensusDay, the enumerator systematically canvassed an assignedarea and listed all housing units in the address register inthe order they were encountered. Completed questionnaires,including sample information for any housing unitlisted on a designated sample line, were collected. For allgovernmental units with fewer than 2,500 persons inlist/ enumerate areas, a 1-in-2 sampling rate was used. Allother list/ enumerate areas were sampled at 1-in-6.Housing units in American Indian reservations, tribaljurisdiction statistical areas, and Alaska Native villageswere sampled according to the same criteria as othergovernmental units, except the sampling rates were basedon the size of the American Indian and Alaska Nativepopulation in those areas as measured in the 1980 census.Trust lands were sampled at the same rate as theirassociated American Indian reservations. Census designatedplaces in Hawaii were sampled at the same rate asgovernmental units because the Census Bureau does notrecognize incorporated places in Hawaii.The purpose of using variable sampling rates was toprovide relatively more reliable estimates for small areasand decrease respondent burden in more densely populatedareas while maintaining data reliability. When allsampling rates were taken into account across the Nation,approximately one out of every six housing units in theNation was included in the <strong>1990</strong> census sample.CONFIDENTIALITY OF THE DATATo maintain the confidentiality required by law (Title 13,United States Code), the Bureau of the Census applies aconfidentiality edit to the <strong>1990</strong> census data to assure thatC–1

As a result, asmall amount of uncertainty is introduced into the estimatesof census characteristics. The sample itself providesadequate protection for most areas for which sampledata are published since the resulting data are estimates ofthe actual counts; however, small areas require moreprotection. The edit is controlled so that the basic structureof the data is preserved.The confidentiality edit is implemented by selecting asmall subset of individual households from the internalsample data files and blanking a subset of the data itemson these household records. Responses to those dataitems were then imputed using the same imputation proceduresthat were used for nonresponse. A larger subsetof households is selected for the confidentiality edit forsmall areas to provide greater protection for these areas.The editing process is implemented in such a way that thequality and usefulness of the data were preserved.ERRORS IN THE DATASince statistics in this data product are based on asample, they may differ somewhat from 100-percent figuresthat would have been obtained if all housing units,persons within those housing units, and persons living ingroup quarters had been enumerated using the samequestionnaires, instructions, enumerators, etc. The sampleestimate also would differ from other samples of housingunits, persons within those housing units, and personsliving in group quarters. The deviation of a sample estimatefrom the average of all possible samples is called thesampling error. The standard error of a sample estimate isa measure of the variation among the estimates from allthe possible samples and thus is a measure of theprecision with which an estimate from a particular sampleapproximates the average result of all possible samples.The sample estimate and its estimated standard errorpermit the construction of interval estimates with prescribedconfidence that the interval includes the averageresult of all possible samples. Described below is themethod of calculating standard errors and confidenceintervals for the data in this product.In addition to the variability which arises from thesampling procedures, both sample data and 100-percentdata are subject to nonsampling error. Nonsampling errormay be introduced during any of the various complexoperations used to collect and process census data. Forexample, operations such as editing, reviewing, or handlingquestionnaires may introduce error into the data. Adetailed discussion of the sources of nonsampling error isgiveninthesectionon‘‘ControlofNonsamplingError’’inthis appendix.Nonsampling error may affect the data in two ways.Errors that are introduced randomly will increase thevariability of the data and should therefore be reflected inthe standard error. Errors that tend to be consistent in onedirection will make both sample and 100-percent databiased in that direction. For example, if respondentsconsistently tend to under-report their income, then theresulting counts of households or families by incomecategory will tend to be understated for the higher incomecategories and overstated for the lower income categories.Such biases are not reflected in the standard error.Calculation of Standard ErrorsTotals and Percentages—Tables A through C in thisappendix contain the information necessary to calculatethe standard errors of sample estimates in this dataproduct. To calculate the standard error, it is necessary toknow the basic standard error for the characteristic (givenin table A or B) that would result under a simple randomsample design (of persons, households, or housing units)and estimation technique; the design factor for the particularcharacteristic estimated (given in table C); and thenumber of persons or housing units in the tabulation areaand the percent of these in the sample. For machinereadableproducts, the percent-in-sample is included in adata matrix on the file for each tabulation area. In printedreports, the percent-in-sample is provided in data tables atthe end of the statistical tables that compose the report.The design factors reflect the effects of the actual sampledesign and complex ratio estimation procedure used forthe <strong>1990</strong> census.The steps given below should be used to calculate thestandard error of an estimate of a total or a percentagecontained in this product. A percentage is defined here asa ratio of a numerator to a denominator where the numeratoris a subset of the denominator. For example, theproportion of Black teachers is the ratio of Black teachersto all teachers.1. Obtain the standard error from table A or B (or usetheformulagivenbelowthetable)fortheestimatedtotal or percentage, respectively.2. Find the geographic area to which the estimateapplies in the appropriate percent-in-sample tableor appropriate matrix, and obtain the person orhousing unit ‘‘percent-in-sample’’ figure for thisarea. Use the person ‘‘percent-in-sample’’ figure forperson and family characteristics. Use the housingunit ‘‘percent-in-sample’’ figure for housing unitcharacteristics.3. Use table C to obtain the design factor for thecharacteristic (for example, employment status, schoolenrollment) and the range that contains the percentin-samplewith which you are working. Multiply thebasic standard error by this factor.The unadjusted standard errors of zero estimates or ofvery small estimated totals or percentages will approachzero. This is also the case for very large percentages orestimated totals that are close to the size of the tabulationC–2 ACCURACY OF THE DATA

Nevertheless, these estimatedtotals and percentages still are subject to samplingand nonsampling variability, and an estimated standarderror of zero (or a very small standard error) is notappropriate. For estimated percentages that are less than2 or greater than 98, use the basic standard errors in tableB that appear in the ‘‘2 or 98’’ row. For an estimated totalthat is less than 50 or within 50 of the total size of thetabulation area, use a basic standard error of 16.An illustration of the use of the tables is given in thesection entitled ‘‘Use of Tables to Compute StandardErrors.’’Sums and Differences—The standard errors estimatedfrom these tables are not directly applicable to sums of anddifferences between two sample estimates. To estimatethe standard error of a sum or difference, the tables are tobe used somewhat differently in the following three situations:1. For the sum of or difference between a sampleestimate and a 100-percent value, use the standarderror of the sample estimate. The complete countvalue is not subject to sampling error.2. For the sum of or difference between two sampleestimates, the appropriate standard error is approximatelythe square root of the sum of the twoindividual standard errors squared; that is, for standarderrors:SE $X ˆ$YSEˆ X and SEˆ Y of estimates ˆ Xand ˆ: Yˆ$ = SE $X ˆ$Y=√ $SEˆ) X2 $$SEˆ) 2YThis method, however, will underestimate (overestimate)the standard error if the two items in asum are highly positively (negatively) correlated or ifthe two items in a difference are highly negatively(positively) correlated. This method may also beused for the difference between (or sum of) sampleestimates from two censuses or from a censussample and another survey. The standard error forestimates not based on the <strong>1990</strong> census samplemust be obtained from an appropriate source outsideof this appendix.3. For the differences between two estimates, one ofwhich is a subclass of the other, use the tablesdirectly where the calculated difference is the estimateof interest. For example, to determine theestimate of non-Black teachers, one may subtractthe estimate of Black teachers from the estimate oftotal teachers. To determine the standard error ofthe estimate of non-Black teachers apply the aboveformula directly.Ratios—Frequently, the statistic of interest is the ratio oftwo variables, where the numerator is not a subset of theACCURACY OF THE DATAdenominator. For example, the ratio of teachers to studentsin public elementary schools. The standard error ofthe ratio between two sample estimates is estimated asfollows:1. If the ratio is a proportion, then follow the procedureoutlined for ‘‘Totals and Percentages.’’2. If the ratio is not a proportion, then approximate thestandard error using the formula below.SE $X ˆ$Yˆˆ$ = X ˆ$ˆ$$SE X2$ˆ2Y X$SEˆ$ 2YMedians—For the standard error of the median of acharacteristic, it is necessary to examine the distributionfrom which the median is derived, as the size of the baseand the distribution itself affect the standard error. Anapproximate method is given here. As the first step,compute one-half of the number on which the median isbased (refer to this result as N/ 2). Treat N/ 2 as if it werean ordinary estimate and obtain its standard error asinstructed above. Compute the desired confidence intervalabout N/ 2. Starting with the lowest value of the characteristic,cumulate the frequencies in each category of thecharacteristic until the sum equals or first exceeds thelower limit of the confidence interval about N/ 2. By linearinterpolation, obtain a value of the characteristic correspondingto this sum. This is the lower limit of theconfidence interval of the median. In a similar manner,continue cumulating frequencies until the sum equals orexceeds the count in excess of the upper limit of theinterval about N/ 2. Interpolate as before to obtain theupper limit of the confidence interval for the estimatedmedian.When interpolation is required in the upper open-endedinterval of a distribution to obtain a confidence bound, use1.5 times the lower limit of the open-ended confidenceinterval as the upper limit of the open-ended interval.Confidence IntervalsA sample estimate and its estimated standard error maybe used to construct confidence intervals about the estimate.These intervals are ranges that will contain theaverage value of the estimated characteristic that resultsover all possible samples, with a known probability. Forexample, if all possible samples that could result under the<strong>1990</strong> census sample design were independently selectedand surveyed under the same conditions, and if theestimate and its estimated standard error were calculatedfor each of these samples, then:1. Approximately 68 percent of the intervals from oneestimated standard error below the estimate to oneestimated standard error above the estimate wouldcontain the average result from all possible samples;ˆ2YC–3


JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 4 SESS: 85 OUTPUT: Wed Apr 14 13:41:57 1993 / pssw01/ disk2/ 90dec/ sample/ usst/ appc2. Approximately 90 percent of the intervals from1.645 times the estimated standard error below theestimate to 1.645 times the estimated standarderror above the estimate would contain the averageresult from all possible samples.3. Approximately 95 percent of the intervals from twoestimated standard errors below the estimate totwo estimated standard errors above the estimatewould contain the average result from all possiblesamples.The intervals are referred to as 68 percent, 90 percent,and 95 percent confidence intervals, respectively.The average value of the estimated characteristic thatcould be derived from all possible samples is or is notcontained in any particular computed interval. Thus, wecannot make the statement that the average value has acertain probability of falling between the limits of thecalculated confidence interval. Rather, one can say with aspecified probability of confidence that the calculatedconfidence interval includes the average estimate from allpossible samples (approximately the 100-percent value).Confidence intervals also may be constructed for theratio, 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, ordifference (using the formulas given earlier), and finallyforming a confidence interval for this estimated ratio, sum,or difference as above. One can then say with specifiedconfidence that this interval includes the ratio, sum, ordifference that would have been obtained by averaging theresults from all possible samples.The estimated standard errors given in this appendix donot include all portions of the variability due to nonsamplingerror that may be present in the data. The standarderrors reflect the effect of simple response variance, butnot the effect of correlated errors introduced by enumerators,coders, or other field or processing personnel. Thus,the standard errors calculated represent a lower bound ofthe total error. As a result, confidence intervals formedusing these estimated standard errors may not meet thestated levels of confidence (i.e., 68, 90, or 95 percent).Thus, some care must be exercised in the interpretation ofthe data in this data product based on the estimatedstandard errors.A standard sampling theory text should be helpful if theuser needs more information about confidence intervalsand nonsampling errors.Use of Tables to Compute Standard ErrorsThe following is a hypothetical example of how tocompute a standard error of a total and a percentage.Suppose a particular data table shows that for City A 9,948persons out of all 15,888 persons age 16 years and overwere in the civilian labor force. The percent-in-sampletable lists City A with a percent-in-sample of 16.0 percent(Persons column). The column in table C which includes16.0 percent-in-sample shows the design factor to be 1.1for ‘‘Employment status.’’The basic standard error for the estimated total 9,948may be obtained from table A or from the formula givenbelow table A. In order to avoid interpolation, the use of theformula will be demonstrated here. Suppose that the totalpopulation of City A was 21,220. The formula for the basicstandard error, SE, isSE$9,948$ = √5$9,948$ $1$9,948$21,220$= 163 persons.The standard error of the estimated 9,948 persons 16years and over who were in the civilian labor force is foundby multiplying the basic standard error 163 by the designfactor, 1.1 from table C. This yields an estimated standarderror of 179 for the total number of persons 16 years andover in City A who were in the civilian labor force.The estimated percent of persons 16 years and overwho were in the civilian labor force in City A is 62.6. Fromtable B, the unadjusted standard error is found to beapproximately 0.85 percentage points. The standard errorfor the estimated 62.6 percent of persons 16 years andover 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 thismanner are approximate. Calculations can be expressedto several decimal places, but to do so would indicate moreprecision in the data than is justifiable. Final results shouldcontain no more than two decimal places when theestimated standard error is one percentage point (i.e.,1.00) or more.In the previous example, the standard error of the 9,948persons 16 years and over in City A who were in the civilianlabor force was found to be 179. Thus, a 90 percentconfidence interval for this estimated total is found to be:$9,948 $ 1.645$179$$ to $9,948 $ 1.645$179$$or9,654 to 10,242One can say, with about 90 percent confidence, that thisinterval includes the value that would have been obtainedby averaging the results from all possible samples.The following is an illustration of the calculation ofstandard errors and confidence intervals when a differencebetween two sample estimates is obtained. Forexample, suppose the number of persons in City B age 16years and over who were in the civilian labor force was9,314 and the total number of persons 16 years and overwas 16,666. Further suppose the population of City B was25,225. Thus, the estimated percentage of persons 16years and over who were in the civilian labor force is 55.9percent. The unadjusted standard error determined usingthe formula provided at the bottom of table B is 0.86C–4 ACCURACY OF THE DATA

The range which includes 15.7 percent-insamplein table C shows the design factor to be 1.1 for‘‘Employment Status.’’ Thus, the approximate standarderror of the percentage (55.9 percent) is 0.86 x 1.1 = 0.95percentage points.Now suppose that one wished to obtain the standarderror of the difference between City A and City B of thepercentages of persons who were 16 years and over andwho were in the civilian labor force. The difference in thepercentages 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 pointsThe 90 percent confidence interval for the difference isformed as before:$6.70 $ 1.645$1.34$$ to $6.70 $ 1.645$1.34$$or4.50 to 8.90One can say with 90 percent confidence that theinterval includes the difference that would have beenobtained by averaging the results from all possible samples.For reasonably large samples, ratio estimates are normallydistributed, particularly for the census population.Therefore, if we can calculate the standard error of a ratioestimate then we can form a confidence interval aroundthe ratio. Suppose that one wished to obtain the standarderror of the ratio of the estimate of persons who were 16years and over and who were in the civilian labor force inCity A to the estimate of persons who were 16 years andoverandwhowereinthecivilianlaborforceinCityB.Theratio of the two estimates of interest is:9948/ 9314 = 1.07SE $1.07$ = $ 99489314 $ $ 1792$9948$ 2 $ 1882= .029$9314$ 2Using the results above, the 90 percent confidenceinterval for this ratio would be:$1.07$1.645$.029$$ to $1.07$1.645$.029$$or1.02 to 1.12ESTIMATION PROCEDUREThe estimates which appear in this publication wereobtained from an iterative ratio estimation procedure (iterativeproportional fitting) resulting in the assignment of aweight to each sample person or housing unit record. ForACCURACY OF THE DATAany given tabulation area, a characteristic total was estimatedby summing the weights assigned to the persons orhousing units possessing the characteristic in the tabulationarea. Estimates of family or household characteristicswere based on the weight assigned to the family memberdesignated as householder. Each sample person or housingunit record was assigned exactly one weight to be usedto produce estimates of all characteristics. For example, ifthe weight given to a sample person or housing unit hadthe value 6, all characteristics of that person or housingunit would be tabulated with the weight of 6. The estimationprocedure, however, did assign weights varying fromperson to person or housing unit to housing unit. Theestimation procedure used to assign the weights wasperformed in geographically defined ‘‘weighting areas.’’Weighting areas generally were formed of contiguousgeographic units which agreed closely with census tabulationareas within counties. Weighting areas were requiredto have a minimum sample of 400 persons. Weightingareas never crossed State or county boundaries. In smallcounties with a sample count below 400 persons, theminimum required sample condition was relaxed to permitthe entire county to become a weighting area.Within a weighting area, the ratio estimation procedurefor persons was performed in four stages. For persons, thefirststageapplied17household-typegroups.Thesecondstage used two groups: sampling rate of 1-in-2; samplingrate less than 1-in-2. The third stage used the dichotomyhouseholders/ nonhouseholders. The fourth stage applied180 aggregate age-sex-race-Hispanic origin categories.Thestageswereasfollows:PERSONSSTAGE I: TYPE OF HOUSEHOLDGroup Persons in Housing Units With a FamilyWith Own Children Under 181 2 persons in housing unit2 3 persons in housing unit3 4 persons in housing unit4 5 to 7 persons in housing unit5 8 or more persons in housing unitPersons in Housing Units With a FamilyWithout Own Children Under 186-10 2 through 8 or more persons inhousing unitPersons in All Other Housing Units11 1 person in housing unit12-16 2 through 8 or more persons inhousing unitPersons in Group Quarters17 Persons in Group QuartersSTAGE II: SAMPLING RATES1 Sampling rate of 1-in-22 Sampling rate less than 1-in-2C–5

This weight was approximately equal to theinverse of the probability of selecting a person for thecensus sample.The next step in the estimation procedure, prior toiterative proportional fitting, was to combine categories ineach of the four estimation stages, when needed toincrease the reliability of the ratio estimation procedure.For each stage, any group that did not meet certain criteriafor the unweighted sample count or for the ratio of the100-percent to the initially weighted sample count, wascombined, or collapsed, with another group in the samestage according to a specified collapsing pattern. At thefourth stage, an additional criterion concerning the numberof complete count persons in each race/ Hispanic origincategory was applied.As the final step, the initial weights underwent fourstages of ratio adjustment applying the grouping proceduresdescribed above. At the first stage, the ratio of thecomplete census count to the sum of the initial weights foreach sample person was computed for each stage I group.The initial weight assigned to each person in a group wasthen multiplied by the stage I group ratio to produce anadjusted weight.In stage II, the stage I adjusted weights were againadjusted by the ratio of the complete census count to thesum of the stage I weights for sample persons in eachstage II group. Next, at stage III, the stage II weights wereadjusted by the ratio of the complete census count to thesum of the stage II weights for sample persons in eachstage III group. Finally, at stage IV, the stage III weightswere adjusted by the ratio of the complete census count tothe sum of the stage III weights for sample persons in eachstage IV group. The four stages of ratio adjustment wereperformed two times (two iterations) in the order givenabove. The weights obtained from the second iteration forstage IV were assigned to the sample person records.However, to avoid complications in rounding for tabulateddata, only whole number weights were assigned. Forexample, if the final weight of the persons in a particulargroup was 7.25 then 1/ 4 of the sample persons in thisgroup were randomly assigned a weight of 8, while theremaining 3/ 4 received a weight of 7.The ratio estimation procedure for housing units wasessentially the same as that for persons, except thatvacant units were treated differently. The occupied housingunit ratio estimation procedure was done in four stages,and the vacant housing unit ratio estimation procedure wasdone in a single stage. The first stage for occupied housingunits applied 16 household type categories, while thesecond stage used the two sampling categories describedabove for persons. The third stage applied three units-instructurecategories; i.e. single units, multi-unit less than 10andmulti-unit10ormore.Thefourthstagecouldpotentiallyuse 200 tenure-race-Hispanic origin-value/ rent groups.The stages for ratio estimation for housing units were asfollows:OCCUPIED HOUSING UNITSSTAGE I: TYPE OF HOUSEHOLDGroup Housing Units With a Family With OwnChildren Under 181 2 persons in housing unit2 3 persons in housing unit3 4 persons in housing unit4 5 to 7 persons in housing unit5 8 or more persons in housing unitHousing Units With a Family WithoutOwn Children Under 186-10 2 through 8 or more persons inhousing unitC–6 ACCURACY OF THE DATA

The net effectis a reduction in both the standard error and the possiblebias of most estimated characteristics to levels below whatwould have resulted from simply using the initial, unadjustedweight. A by-product of this estimation procedure isthat the estimates from the sample will, for the most part,be consistent with the complete count figures for thepopulation and housing unit groups used in the estimationprocedure.C–7

This component oferror could introduce serious bias into the data, and thetotal error could increase dramatically over that whichwould result purely from sampling. While it is impossible tocompletely eliminate nonsampling error from an operationas large and complex as the decennial census, the Bureauof the Census attempted to control the sources of sucherror during the collection and processing operations.Described below are the primary sources of nonsamplingerror and the programs instituted for control of this error.The success of these programs, however, was contingentupon how well the instructions actually were carried outduring the census. As part of the <strong>1990</strong> census evaluationprogram, both the effects of these programs and theamount of error remaining after their application will beevaluated.Undercoverage—It is possible for some households orpersons to be missed entirely by the census. The undercoverageof persons and housing units can introducebiases into the data.Several coverage improvement programs were implementedduring the development of the census address listand census enumeration and processing to minimize undercoverageof the population and housing units. Theseprograms were developed based on experience from the1980 census and results from the <strong>1990</strong> census testingcycle. In developing and updating the census address list,the Census Bureau used a variety of specialized proceduresin different parts of the country.• In the large urban areas, the Census Bureau purchasedand geocoded address lists. Concurrent with geocoding,the United States Postal Service (USPS) reviewed andupdated this list. After the postal check, census enumeratorsconducted a dependent canvass and update operation.In the fall of 1989, local officials were given theopportunity 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 partsof the country, the Census Bureau created the addresslist through a listing operation. The USPS reviewed andupdated this list, and the Census Bureau reconciledUSPS corrections and updated through a field operation.In the fall of 1989, local officials participated in reviewingblock counts of address listings. Prior to mailout, theUSPS conducted a final review.• The Census Bureau (rather than the USPS) conducted alisting operation in the fall of 1989 and delivered censusquestionnaires in selected rural and seasonal housingareas in March of <strong>1990</strong>. In some inner-city public housingdevelopments, whose addresses had been obtainedvia the purchased address list noted above, censusquestionnaires were also delivered by Census Bureauenumerators.Coverage improvement programs continued during andafter mailout. A recheck of units initially classified asvacant or nonexistent improved further the coverage ofpersons and housing units. All local officials were given theopportunity to participate in a post-census local review,and census enumerators conducted an additional recanvass.In addition, efforts were made to improve the coverageof unique population groups, such as the homelessand parolees/ probationers. Computer and clerical editsand telephone and personal visit followup also contributedto improved coverage.More extensive discussion of the programs implementedto improve coverage will be published by the CensusBureau when the evaluation of the coverage improvementprogram is completed.Respondent and Enumerator Error—The person answeringthe questionnaire or responding to the questions posedby an enumerator could serve as a source of error,although the questions were phrased as clearly as possiblebased on precensus tests, and detailed instructions forcompleting the questionnaire were provided to each household.In addition, respondents’ answers were edited forcompleteness and consistency, and problems were followedup as necessary.The enumerator may misinterpret or otherwise incorrectlyrecord information given by a respondent; may fail tocollect some of the information for a person or household;or may collect data for households that were not designatedas part of the sample. To control these problems,the work of enumerators was monitored carefully. Fieldstaff were prepared for their tasks by using standardizedtraining packages that included hands-on experience inusing census materials. A sample of the householdsinterviewed by enumerators for nonresponse were reinterviewedto control for the possibility of data for fabricatedpersons being submitted by enumerators. Also, the estimationprocedure was designed to control for biases thatwould result from the collection of data from householdsnot designated for the sample.Processing Error—The many phases involved in processingthe census data represent potential sources for theintroduction of nonsampling error. The processing of thecensus questionnaires includes the field editing, followup,and transmittal of completed questionnaires; the manualcoding of write-in responses; and the electronic dataprocessing. The various field, coding and computer operationsundergo a number of quality control checks toinsure their accurate application.Nonresponse—Nonresponse to particular questions onthe census questionnaire allows for the introduction of biasinto the data, since the characteristics of the nonrespondentshave not been observed and may differ from thosereported by respondents. As a result, any imputationprocedure using respondent data may not completelyC–8 ACCURACY OF THE DATA

Someprotection against the introduction of large biases is affordedby minimizing nonresponse. In the census, nonresponsewas reduced substantially during the field operations bythe various edit and followup operations aimed at obtaininga response for every question. Characteristics for thenonresponses remaining after this operation were imputedby the computer by using reported data for a person orhousing unit with similar characteristics.EDITING OF UNACCEPTABLE DATAThe objective of the processing operation is to producea set of data that describes the population as accuratelyand clearly as possible. To meet this objective, questionnaireswere edited during field data collection operationsfor consistency, completeness, and acceptability. Questionnairesalso 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 districtoffices, the initial edit was automated; however, for themajority of the district offices, it was performed by clerks.As a result of this operation, a telephone or personal visitfollowup was made to obtain missing information. Potentialcoverage errors were included in the followup, as well as asample of questionnaires with omissions and/ or inconsistencies.Subsequent to field operations, remaining incomplete orinconsistent information on the questionnaires was assignedusing imputation procedures during the final automatededit of the collected data. Imputations, or computer assignmentsof acceptable codes in place of unacceptableentries or blanks, are needed most often when an entry fora given item is lacking or when the information reported fora person or housing unit on that item is inconsistent withother information for that same person or housing unit. Asin previous censuses, the general procedure for changingunacceptable entries was to assign an entry for a personor housing unit that was consistent with entries for personsor housing units with similar characteristics. The assignmentof acceptable codes in place of blanks or unacceptableentries enhances the usefulness of the data.Another way in which corrections were made during thecomputer editing process was through substitution; that is,the assignment of a full set of characteristics for a personor housing unit. When there was an indication that ahousing unit was occupied but the questionnaire containedno information for the people within the household or theoccupants were not listed on the questionnaire, a previouslyaccepted household was selected as a substitute,and the full set of characteristics for the substitute wasduplicated. The assignment of the full set of housingcharacteristics occurred when there was no housing informationavailable. If the housing unit was determined to beoccupied, the housing characteristics were assigned froma previously processed occupied unit. If the housing unitwas vacant, the housing characteristics were assignedfrom a previously processed vacant unit.ACCURACY OF THE DATAC–9

Usual residence is the placewhere the person lives and sleeps most of the time orconsiders to be his or her usual residence. This place is notnecessarily the same as the person’s legal residence orvoting residence. In the vast majority of cases, however,the use of these different bases of classification wouldproduce substantially the same statistics, although theremight be appreciable differences for a few areas.The implementation of this practice has resulted in theestablishment of rules for certain categories of personswhose usual place of residence is not immediately apparent.Furthermore, this practice means that persons werenot always counted as residents of the place where theyhappened to be staying on Census Day (April 1, <strong>1990</strong>).Enumeration RulesEach person whose usual residence was in the UnitedStates was to be included in the census, without regard tothe person’s legal status or citizenship. In a departure fromearlier censuses, foreign diplomatic personnel participatedvoluntarily in the census, regardless of their residence onor off the premises of an embassy. As in previous censuses,persons in the United States specifically excludedfrom the census were foreign travelers who had notestablished a residence.Americans with a usual residence outside the UnitedStates were not enumerated in the <strong>1990</strong> census. UnitedStates military and Federal civilian employees, and theirdependents overseas, are included in the population countsfor States for purposes of Congressional apportionment,but are excluded from all other tabulations for States andtheir subdivisions. The counts of United States military andFederal civilian employees, and their dependents, wereobtained from administrative records maintained by Federaldepartments and agencies. Other Americans livingoverseas, such as employees of international agenciesCOLLECTION AND PROCESSING PROCEDURESand private businesses and students, were not enumerated,nor were their counts obtained from administrativesources. On the other hand, Americans temporarily overseaswere to be enumerated at their usual residence in theUnited States.Residence RulesEach person included in the census was to be countedat his or her usual residence—the place where he or shelives and sleeps most of the time or the place where theperson considers to be his or her usual home. If a personhad no usual residence, the person was to be countedwhere he or she was staying on April 1, <strong>1990</strong>.Persons temporarily away from their usual residence,whether in the United States or overseas, on a vacation oron a business trip, were counted at their usual residence.Persons who occupied more than one residence during theyear were counted at the one they considered to be theirusual residence. Persons who moved on or near CensusDay were counted at the place they considered to be theirusual residence.Persons in the Armed Forces—Members of the ArmedForces were counted as residents of the area in which theinstallation was located, either on the installation or in thesurrounding community. Family members of Armed Forcespersonnel were counted where they were living on CensusDay(forexample,withtheArmedForcespersonoratanother location).Each Navy ship not deployed to the 6th or 7th Fleet wasattributed to the municipality that the Department of theNavy designated as its homeport. If the homeport includedmore than one municipality, ships berthed there on CensusDay were assigned by the Bureau of the Census to themunicipality in which the land immediately adjacent to thedock or pier was actually located. Ships attributed to thehomeport, but not physically present and not deployed tothe 6th or 7th Fleet, were assigned to the municipalitynamed 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 shipwere given the opportunity to report a residence off theship. Those who did report an off-ship residence in thecommunities 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 Fleeton Census Day were considered to be part of the overseaspopulation.D–1

Those who did not were counted asresidents 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, providedthe port was in the United States or its territories.3. The port of destination in the United States or itsterritories, if the port of departure of a ship at sea wasa foreign port.4. The overseas population if the ship was docked at aforeign port or at sea between foreign ports. (Thesepersons were not included in the overseas populationfor apportionment purposes.)Persons Away at School—College students were countedas residents of the area in which they were living whileattending college, as they have been since the 1950census. Children in boarding schools below the collegelevel were counted at their parental home.Persons in Institutions—Persons under formally authorized,supervised care or custody, such as in Federal orState prisons; local jails; Federal detention centers; juvenileinstitutions; nursing, convalescent, and rest homes forthe aged and dependent; or homes, schools, hospitals, orwards for the physically handicapped, mentally retarded,or mentally ill, were counted at these places.Persons Away From Their Usual Residence on CensusDay—Migrant agricultural workers who did not report ausual residence elsewhere were counted as residents ofthe place where they were on Census Day. Persons inworker camps who did not report a usual residenceelsewhere were counted as residents of the camp wherethey were on Census Day.In some parts of the country, natural disasters displacedsignificant numbers of households from their usual place ofresidence. If these persons reported a destroyed or damagedresidence as their usual residence, they were countedat that location.Persons away from their usual residence were countedby means of interviews with other members of theirfamilies, resident managers, or neighbors.DATA COLLECTION PROCEDURESThe <strong>1990</strong> census was conducted primarily throughself-enumeration. The questionnaire packet included generalinformation about the <strong>1990</strong> census and an instructionguide explaining how to complete the questionnaire. Spanishlanguagequestionnaires and instruction guides were availableon request. Instruction guides also were available in32 other languages.Enumeration of Housing UnitsEach housing unit in the country received one of twoversions of the census questionnaire:1. A short-form questionnaire that contained a limitednumber of basic population and housing questions;these questions were asked of all persons and housingunits and are often referred to as 100-percentquestions.2. A long-form questionnaire that contained the 100-percent items and a number of additional questions; asampling procedure was used to determine thosehousing units that were to receive the long-formquestionnaire.Three sampling rates were employed. For slightly morethan one-half of the country, one in every six housing units(about 17 percent) received the long-form or samplequestionnaire. In functioning local governmental units (countiesandincorporatedplaces,andinsomepartsofthecountry, towns and townships) estimated to have fewerthan 2,500 inhabitants, every other housing unit (50 percent)received the sample questionnaire in order to enhancethe reliability of the sample data for these small areas. Forcensus tracts and block numbering areas having morethan 2,000 housing units in the Census Bureau’s addressfiles, one in every eight housing units (about 13 percent)received a sample questionnaire, providing reliable statisticsfor these areas while permitting the Census Bureau tostay within a limit of 17.7 million sample questionnaires, ora one-in-six sample, nationwide.The mail-out/ mail-back procedure was used mainly incities, suburban areas, towns, and rural areas wheremailing addresses consisted of a house number and streetname. In these areas, the Census Bureau developedmailing lists that included about 88.4 million addresses.The questionnaires were delivered through the mail andrespondents were to return them by mail. Census questionnaireswere delivered 1 week before Census Day(April 1, <strong>1990</strong>)The update/ leave/ mail-back method was used mainlyin densely populated rural areas where it was difficult todevelop mailing lists because mailing addresses did notuse house number and street name. The Census Bureaucompiled lists of housing units in advance of the census.Enumerators delivered the questionnaires, asked respondentsto return them by mail, and added housing units noton the mailing lists. This method was used mainly in theSouth and Midwest, and also included some high-rise,low-income urban areas. A variation of this method wasused in urban areas having large numbers of boarded-upbuildings. About 11 million housing units were enumeratedusing this method.The list/ enumerate method (formerly called conventionalor door-to-door enumeration) was used mainly invery remote and sparsely-settled areas.

Starting a week before CensusDay, enumerators canvassed these areas, checked that allhousing units received a questionnaire, created a list of allhousing units, completed long-form questionnaires, andpicked up the completed short-form questionnaires. Thismethod was used mainly in the West and Northeast toenumerate an estimated 6.5 million housing units.FollowupNonresponse Followup—In areas where respondentswere to mail back their questionnaires, an enumeratorvisited each address from which a questionnaire was notreceived.Coverage and Edit-Failure Followup—In the mail-backareas, some households returned a questionnaire that didnot meet specific quality standards because of incompleteor inconsistent information, or the respondent had indicateddifficultyindecidingwhowastobelistedonthequestionnaire. These households were contacted by telephoneor by personal visit to obtain the missing informationor to clarify who was to be enumerated in the household. Inareas where an enumerator picked up the questionnaires,the enumerator checked the respondent-filled questionnairefor completeness and consistency.Special Enumeration ProceduresSpecial procedures and questionnaires were used forthe enumeration of persons in group quarters, such ascollege dormitories, nursing homes, prisons, military barracks,and ships. The questionnaires (Individual CensusReports, Military Census Reports, and Shipboard CensusReports) included the 100-percent population questionsbut did not include any housing questions. In all groupquarters, all persons were asked the basic populationquestions; in most group quarters, additional questionswere asked of a sample (one-in-six) of persons.Shelter and Street Night (S-Night)The Census Bureau collected data for various componentsof the homeless population at different stages in the<strong>1990</strong> census. ‘‘Shelter and Street Night’’ (S-Night) was aspecial census operation to count the population in fourtypes of locations where homeless people are found. Onthe evening of March 20, <strong>1990</strong>, and during the earlymorning hours of March 21, <strong>1990</strong>, enumerators countedpersons in pre-identified locations:1. Emergency shelters for the homeless population (publicand private; permanent and temporary).2. Shelters with temporary lodging for runaway youths.3. Shelters for abused women and their children.COLLECTION AND PROCESSING PROCEDURES4. Open locations in streets or other places not intendedfor habitation.Emergency shelters include all hotels and motels costing$12 or less (excluding taxes) per night regardless ofwhether persons living there considered themselves to behomeless, hotels and motels (regardless of cost) usedentirely to shelter homeless persons, and pre-identifiedrooms in hotels and motels used for homeless personsand families. Enumeration in shelters usually occurredfrom 6 p.m. to midnight; street enumeration, from 2 a.m. to4 a.m.; abandoned and boarded-up buildings from 4 a.m. to8 a.m.; and shelters for abused women, from 6 p.m. onMarch 20 to noon on March 21.Other components, which some consider as part of thehomeless population, were enumerated as part of regularcensus operations. These include persons doubled up withother families, as well as persons with no other usual homeliving in transient sites, such as commercial campgrounds,maternity homes for unwed mothers, and drug/ alcoholabuse detoxification centers. In institutions, such as localjails and mental hospitals, the Census Bureau does notknow who has a usual home elsewhere; therefore, eventhough some are literally homeless, these persons cannotbe identified separately as a component of the homelesspopulation.There is no generally agreed-upon definition of ‘‘thehomeless,’’ and there are limitations in the census countthat prevent obtaining a total count of the homelesspopulation under any definition. As such, the CensusBureau does not have a definition and will not provide atotal count of ‘‘the homeless.’’ Rather, the Census Bureauwill provide counts and characteristics of persons found atthe time of the census in selected types of living arrangements.These selected components can be used as buildingblocks to construct a count of homeless personsappropriate to particular purposes as long as the datalimitations are taken into account.In preparation for ‘‘Shelter-and-Street-Night’’ enumeration,the regional census centers (RCC’s) mailed a certifiedletter (Form D-33 (L)) to the highest elected official of eachactive functioning government of the United States (morethan 39,000) requesting them to identify:1. All shelters with sleeping facilities (permanent andtemporary, such as church basements, armories,public buildings, and so forth, that could be open onMarch 20).2. Hotels and motels used to house homeless personsand families.3. A list of outdoor locations where homeless personstend 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.D–3

The specific addresses of abandoned or boarded-upbuildings where homeless persons were thought tostay at night.The letter from the RCC’s to the governmental unitsemphasized the importance of listing night-time congregatingsites. The list of shelters was expanded using informationfrom administrative records and informed local sources.The street sites were limited to the list provided by thejurisdictions. All governmental units were eligible for ‘‘Shelterand Street Night.’’ For cities with 50,000 or morepersons, the Census Bureau took additional steps toupdate the list of shelter and street locations if the localjurisdiction did not respond to the certified letter. Smallercities and rural areas participated if the local jurisdictionprovided the Census Bureau a list of shelters or openpublic places to visit or if shelters were identified throughour inventory development, local knowledge update, orduring the Special Place Prelist operation.The Census Bureau encouraged persons familiar withhomeless persons and the homeless themselves to applyas enumerators. This recruiting effort was particularlysuccessful in larger cities.For shelters, both long- and short-form Individual CensusReports (ICR’s) were distributed. For street enumeration,only short-form ICR’s were used. Persons in sheltersand at street locations were asked the basic populationquestions. Additional questions about social and economiccharacteristics were asked of a sample of persons inshelters only.Enumerators were instructed not to ask who was homeless;rather, they were told to count all persons (includingchildren) staying overnight at the shelters, and everyonethey saw on the street except the police, other persons inuniform, and persons engaged in employment or obviousmoney-making activities other than begging and panhandling.At both shelter and street sites, persons found sleepingwere not awakened to answer questions. Rather, theenumerator answered the sex and race questions byobservation and estimated the person’s age to the best ofhis or her ability. In shelters, administrative records andinformation from the shelter operator were used, whenavailable, for persons who were already asleep.Less than 1 percent of shelters refused to participate inthe census count at first. By the end of the census period,most of those eventually cooperated and the number ofrefusals had been reduced to a few. For the final refusals,head counts and population characteristics were obtainedby enumerators standing outside such shelters and countingpeople as they left in the morning.The ‘‘street’’ count was restricted to persons who werevisible when the enumerator came to the open, publiclocations that had been identified by local jurisdictions.Homeless persons who were well hidden, moving about, orin locations other than those identified by the local governmentswere likely missed. The number missed willnever be known and there is no basis to make an estimateof the number missed from census data. The count ofpersons in open, public places was affected by manyfactors, including the extra efforts made to encouragepeople to go to shelters for ‘‘Shelter and Street Night,’’ theweather (which was unusually cold in many parts of thecountry), the presence of the media, and distrust of thecensus. Expectations of the number of homeless personson the street cannot be based on the number seen duringthe day because the night-time situation is normally verydifferent as more homeless persons are in shelters or verywell hidden.For both ‘‘Shelter-and-Street-Night’’ locations, the CensusBureau assumed that the usual home of those enumeratedwas in the block where they were found (shelteror street).The ‘‘Shelter-and-Street-Night’’ operation replaced andexpanded the 1980 Mission Night (M-Night) and CasualCount operations. These two operations were aimed atcounting the population who reported having no usualresidence. M-Night was conducted a week after CensusDay, in April 1980. Enumerators visited hotels, motels, andsimilar places costing $4 or less each night; missions,flophouses, local jails and similar places at which theaverage length of stay was 30 days or less; and nonshelterlocations, such as bus depots, train stations, and all nightmovie theaters. Questions were asked of everyone, regardlessof age. Enumerators conducted M-Night up to midnighton April 8, 1980, and returned the next morning tocollect any forms completed after midnight.The Casual Count operation was conducted in May1980 at additional nonshelter locations, such as streetcorners, pool halls, welfare and employment offices. Thisoperation lasted for approximately 2 weeks. Casual Countwas conducted during the day only in selected largecentral cities. Only persons who appeared to be at least 15years of age were asked if they had been previouslyenumerated. Casual Count was actually a coverage-improvementoperation. It was not specifically an operation tocount homeless persons living in the streets. Persons wereexcluded if they said they had a usual home outside thecity because it was not cost effective to check throughindividual questionnaires in another city to try to find theperson.PROCESSING PROCEDURESRespondents returned many census questionnaires bymail to 1 of over 344 census district offices or to one of sixprocessing offices. In these offices, the questionnaireswere ‘‘checked in’’ and edited for completeness andconsistency of the responses. After this initial processinghad been performed, all questionnaires were sent to theprocessing offices.In the processing offices, the household questionnaireswere microfilmed and processed by the Film OpticalSensing Device for Input to Computers (FOSDIC).

The Census Bureau has increased the productoptions available to data users in an effort to meet a varietyof requirements and maximize the usefulness of the data.For example, laser discs, called CD-ROM (compact disc—readonlymemory), are a new data delivery medium.The Census Bureau also has expanded services andsources of assistance available to data users. For example,the State Data Center Program has been expanded toinclude over 1,400 organizations to provide data andservices to the public.This appendix provides a detailed introduction to the<strong>1990</strong> census data products and related materials, such asmaps and reference publications. It concludes by describingsources of assistance and other Census Bureau dataavailable to the public.DATA PRODUCTSPrinted reports and computer tape files traditionally arethe most widely used products. The Census Bureau alsooffers data on microfiche, on CD-ROM laser discs, andthrough its online service, CENDATA TM . These variousproducts are described below. For information about pricesand how to order, write or call Customer Services. (See the‘‘Sources of Assistance’’ section for the address andphone number.)The data products present statistics about the subjectscovered in the <strong>1990</strong> census questionnaires. These subjectsare listed in figure 1, page F–7. As the figure shows,there are 100-percent subjects (those covered in questionsasked of everyone or about every housing unit) andsample subjects (those covered in questions asked atabout one out of every six housing units). Generally, a dataproduct presents either 100-percent data prepared bytabulating the responses to the 100-percent questionsfrom all questionnaires, or sample data prepared by tabulatingonly the responses to the 100-percent and samplequestions from the ‘‘long-form’’ questionnaires. Two reportseries, <strong>1990</strong> CPH-3 and <strong>1990</strong> CPH-4 (see figure 2, pageF–8), present both 100-percent and sample data.DATA PRODUCTS AND USER ASSISTANCEPrinted ReportsPrinted reports are the most convenient and readilyavailable source of data for most census users. TheCensus Bureau releases the reports in several series (seefigure 2) that are grouped under three broad titles: <strong>1990</strong>Census of Population and Housing (<strong>1990</strong> CPH), <strong>1990</strong>Census of Population (<strong>1990</strong> CP), and <strong>1990</strong> Census ofHousing (<strong>1990</strong> CH). There also are reports, not reflected infigure 2, for the outlying areas of the Pacific. The reportsare sold by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. GovernmentPrinting Office. (See the ‘‘Sources of Assistance’’section for the address and phone number.)In several series, there are separate reports for eachState. The geographic coverage of the State reports islisted in figure 2. The United States summaries for thesereport series contain, for the most part, data for the UnitedStates, regions, divisions, States, metropolitan areas (MA’s),urbanized areas (UA’s), counties, American Indian andAlaska 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 ormore persons in selected States).Report series that present data for small areas, such ascensus tracts, contain limited subject-matter detail (forexample, counts of people by age ranges—under 5 years,5 to 9 years, etc.—rather than by single years).

They also present statistics for some typesof areas, such as block groups and blocks, that are notincluded in the reports. (See figure 3.)Here are some important features of STF’s:• Each STF presents a particular set of data tables forspecific types of geographic areas.• Each STF has three or more file types (indicated by aletter suffix attached to the STF number) that differ in thegeographic levels reported, but contain the same datadetail.• STF’s 1 and 2 contain 100-percent data, and STF’s 3and 4 offer sample data.• STF’s 1 and 3 report on smaller areas and offer lessdata detail than STF’s 2 and 4.• STF’s 1 through 4 offer greater data detail than the 1980STF’s 1 through 4.Subject Summary Tape Files (SSTF’s)—These files arethe source of the subject reports and provide greatersubject-matter detail than the STF’s. They present data forthe United States, regions, and divisions, and, in somecases, also for States, counties, and large cities. (Seefigure 4.)Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) Files—Thesecomputer tape files (see figure 4) contain data fromsamples of long-form housing-unit records (‘‘microdata’’)for large geographic areas. Each sample housing-unitrecord includes essentially all the <strong>1990</strong> census data collectedabout each person in a sample household and thecharacteristics of the housing unit. Information that couldbe used to identify an individual or a housing unit is notincluded in the file.Microdata files enable users to prepare customizedtabulations and cross-tabulations of most items on thecensus questionnaire. There are two standard PUMS files:• A file presenting a 5-percent sample of housing units inwhich each household record includes codes to let theuser know in what area, such as a group of counties, asingle county, or a place, the household is located. Eacharea identified must have a population of at least 100,000and boundaries that do not cross State lines.• A file presenting a 1-percent sample of housing units. Itshousehold records include codes associating them withMA’s and other large areas, the boundaries of whichmay cross State lines. (For the 1980 census, there weretwo files with 1-percent samples. The 1-percent sampleshowing data for selected urbanized areas and otherlarge areas will not be produced for the <strong>1990</strong> census.)There also is a special 3-percent ‘‘elderly’’ file with thesame geography as the 5-percent sample. Included arehouseholds with at least one person age 60 or more and allmembers of those households.Other Special Computer Tape Files—Other files includethe Census/ Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Fileand the County-to-County Migration File. (See figure 4.)The Census Bureau may prepare additional special files.MicroficheAll printed reports are offered on microfiche from CustomerServices soon after they are published.

CENDATA TM is accessiblethrough two information vendors, CompuServe andDIALOG. A number of Census Bureau reports, in wholeor in part, are offered online. For the <strong>1990</strong> census,CENDATA TM provides up-to-date information about theavailability of data products and carries selections of State,county, MA, and place data from the P.L. 94-171 tape fileand STF’s 1 and 3. CENDATA TM also offers the entireCensus EEO File.Custom Data ProductsThese products are for users who require unique tabulationsthat are not included in standard products; forexample, information for locally defined geographic areas.Users also can order special microdata files.The cost of preparing custom products must be paid bythe users who request them. Any data that the CensusBureau provides in these products are subject to the samestandards applied to other data to ensure that confidentialindividual information is not revealed.User-Defined Areas Program (UDAP) Tabulations—UDAP can provide a set of predefined data tables forlocally defined areas that do not correspond to standard<strong>1990</strong> census geographic areas.

Throughother censuses, surveys, and estimates programs, it compilesand issues (in reports, computer tape, and othermedia) 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, commutinghabits, 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 rentpaid, 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 yearsending in ‘‘2’’ and ‘‘7.’’ Surveys and estimates programsgenerate results as often as every month.Many of the monthly ‘‘economic indicators’’ that measurehow the Nation is doing come directly or indirectlyfrom the Census Bureau. Examples: employment andunemployment; housing starts; wholesale and retail trade;manufacturers’ shipments, inventories, and orders; exportand import trade; and sales of single-family homes.The other statistical activities of the Census Bureau aredescribed below. Data users will find more informationabout them and descriptions of their data products in theannual Census Catalog and Guide. Also, special guidesand brochures are prepared for most of them. Contact theCensus Bureau’s Customer Services for more information.Current Demographic and Housing ProgramsTwo types of current programs complement the 10-yearcensus: population estimates and surveys. The total populationof the United States is estimated monthly; thepopulation of States, counties, and metropolitan areas isestimated annually; and the population of places and othergovernmental units is estimated every 2 years. Projectionsof future population are made at the national and Statelevels.The Census Bureau’s many household surveys updatepopulation and housing characteristics at the national leveland sometimes for States and metropolitan areas, as well.These surveys also obtain many characteristics not includedin the 10-year census. The Current Population Survey istaken monthly; the American Housing Survey nationalsample is taken biennially; the American Housing Surveymetropolitansampleistakenin44areas,11peryearina4-year cycle; most other surveys are annual or less frequent.Economic Censuses and SurveysThe economic censuses provide statistics about businessestablishments once every 5 years, covering yearsending in ‘‘2’’ and ‘‘7.’’ The 1987 Economic Censusesinclude the censuses of retail trade, wholesale trade,service industries, transportation, manufactures, mineralindustries, and construction industries. Also included arerelated programs, such as statistics on minority- andwomen-owned businesses, enterprise statistics, and censusesof economic activity in Puerto Rico and some of theoutlying areas under U.S. jurisdiction.Several key statistics are tabulated for all industriescovered in the censuses. They are number of establishments,number of employees, payroll, and measure ofoutput (sales or receipts, and value of shipments or of workdone). Other items vary from sector to sector.The Census Bureau also has programs that providecurrent statistics on such measures as total sales ofparticular kinds of businesses or production of particularproducts. These programs include monthly, quarterly, andannual surveys, the results of which appear in publicationseries such as Current Business Reports and CurrentIndustrial Reports. The County Business Patterns programoffers annual statistics based on data compiled primarilyfrom administrative records.F–6 DATA PRODUCTS AND USER ASSISTANCE
