census/enumeration data

(1) Note that the correct case count is 16,427, not 16,282 as described in the codebook. The difference is due to the number of closed schools (145) in the school year 1994-1995. The variable BOUND95 indicates the number of schools closed. (2) The codebook and instruction manual are provided as Portable Document Format (PDF) files.

The archive also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, the archive performed the following processing steps for this data collection:

• Checked for undocumented or out-of-range codes.
