The work was done under the direction of Dr. Donald Bogue, whose wife, Elizabeth Mullen Bogue, completed much of the data work. Subsequently, the punchcards were converted to data files and transferred to the National Archive and Records Administration (NARA). ICPSR received copies of these files from NARA and converted the binary block-length records to ASCII format. 1950 1950-04 Akron Alabama Augusta Austin Baltimore Berkeley Birmingham Boston Bridgeport Buffalo California Chattanooga Chicago Chicopee Cincinnati Cleveland Clifton Colorado Columbus (Ohio) Connecticut Dallas Dayton Denver Detroit District of Columbia Duluth Durham Flint Florida Fort Worth Georgia Greensboro Hartford Holyoke Houston Illinois Indiana Indianapolis Kalamazoo Kansas Kansas City (Kansas) Kentucky Louisiana Louisville Maryland Massachusetts Memphis Miami Michigan Milwaukee Minnesota Missouri Nashville Nebraska New Haven New Jersey New Orleans New York (state) Norfolk North Carolina Ohio Oklahoma Oklahoma City Omaha Oregon Passaic Paterson Pawtucket Pennsylvania Philadelphia Pittsburgh Portland Portsmouth Providence Rhode Island Richmond Rochester Rome (New York) Sacramento San Diego San Jose Seattle Spokane Springfield (Massachusetts) St. Louis Superior Syracuse Tacoma Tennessee Texas Toledo Trenton United States Utica Virginia Washington Wichita Wisconsin All persons and housing units in the United States. aggregate data publications of the United States Government (Record Group 287) The first two records in each file are city- and metro-level data with a record length of 2,058.
