| Summary: | Public Law 94-171, enacted in 1975, directs the United
States Census Bureau to make special preparations to provide
redistricting data needed by the 50 states. It specifies that within
one year following the Census Day (i.e., for Census 2000 by April 1,
2001), the Census Bureau must send the governor and legislature in
each state the data they need to redraw districts for the United
States Congress and state legislatures. The National file provides
data in a hierarchical sequence down to the block level (state,
county, voting district/remainder, county subdivision,
place/remainder, census tract, block group, block). The file contains
four tables: (1) a count of all persons by race (Table PL1), (2) a
count of Hispanic or Latino and a count of not Hispanic or Latino by
race of all persons (Table PL2), (3) a count of the population 18
years and older by race (Table PL3), and (4) a count of Hispanic or
Latino and a count of not Hispanic or Latino by race for the
population 18 years and older (Table PL4). |

| Data Collection Notes: | (1) The data are provided in three segments (files).
These segments are the Geographic Header, Tables PL1 and PL2, and
Tables PL3 and PL4. The Geographic Header segments are fixed-format
ASCII text files, while the Table segments are comma-delimited ASCII
files. The Geographic Header has 80 variables and the Table segments
have 149 variables each, for a total of 378 variables when the
segments are combined. (2) The SAS Merge Program is provided, but not
supported, by the United States Census Bureau. Users will need to
merge the three segments into a SAS dataset to use the data
effectively. (3) The codebook and record layout are provided by the
principal investigator as Portable Document Format (PDF) files. The
PDF file format was developed by Adobe Systems Incorporated and can be
accessed using PDF reader software, such as the Adobe Acrobat
Reader. Information on how to obtain a copy of the Acrobat Reader is
provided on the ICPSR Web site. |
