Data Collection Notes

  1. (1) The data file contains data for 3,193 geographic areas: the United States, each state and the District of Columbia, and 3,141 counties or county equivalents. (Three fields in the file identify counties which were in metropolitan areas as of June 30, 1990.) There are 35 records for each geographic area. (2) There are two footnote files in the collection, one for crime-related variables and one for all other subject areas. Each record in the footnote files consists of an item label, a geographic code, and a footnote reference number. The text corresponding to the footnote reference number is contained in Appendix A of the codebook. Footnotes associated with specific data cells qualify the data in one way or another. Some examples include a reference period different from the norm or the combination of data for two or more areas. The data user is urged to review the applicable footnotes for the items to be used. (3) The data dictionary for this collection is not designed for direct use with any software package. (4) The time periods covered for each data item vary. For data series that are available on an annual basis, several years of data will generally be presented. For decennial census and economic census data items, comparable information from a prior census is available in many cases.
