Scope of Study
Summary: This data collection is a component of Summary Tape File 3, which consists of six sets of data containing detailed tabulations of the nation's population and housing characteristics produced from the 1980 Census. This series is comprised of STF 3A, STF 3B, STF 3C, STF 3D, STF 3E, and STF 3F. The STF 3 files contain sample data inflated to represent the total United States population. All files in the STF 3 series are identical, containing 321 substantive data variables organized in the form of 150 tables, as well as standard geographic identification variables. Files vary in terms of geographic summary levels and amount of detail. STF 3F, the School Districts file, is a special tabulation that provides summary level data for school districts by state (summary level 40) including the District of Columbia, and by county or county equivalent (summary level 41). Population items tabulated include age, race (provisional data), sex, marital status, Spanish origin (provisional data), household type, and household relationship. Housing items tabulated include occupancy/vacancy status, tenure, contract rent, value, condominium status, number of rooms, and plumbing facilities. Selected aggregates, means, and medians are also provided.
