Demographic variables include sex, age, relationship, households by type, race, and Hispanic origin. Social characteristics variables include school enrollment, educational attainment, marital status, fertility, grandparents caring for children, veteran status, disability status, residence one year ago, place of birth, United States citizenship status, year of entry, world region of birth of foreign born, language spoken at home, and ancestry. Variables focusing on economic characteristics include employment status, commuting to work, occupation, industry, class of worker, income and benefits, and poverty status. Variables focusing on housing characteristics include occupancy, units in structure, year structure was built, number of rooms, number of bedrooms, housing tenure, year householder moved into unit, vehicles available, house heating fuel, utility costs, occupants per room, housing value, and mortgage status. The American Community Survey is conducted under the authority of Title 13, United States Code, Sections 141 and 193, and response is mandatory.

Current Population Survey, April 1995: Food Security Supplement (ICPSR 3037)
Released/updated on: 2000-12-14
Geographic coverage: United States
Data are provided in this collection on labor force activity for the week prior to the survey. Comprehensive data are available on the employment status, occupation, and industry of persons 15 years old and older. Also shown are personal characteristics such as age, sex, race, marital status, veteran status, household relationship, educational background, and Hispanic origin. The Food Security Supplement was conducted by the Bureau of the Census for the Food and Consumer Service (FCS) of the United States Department of Agriculture. Supplement questions were asked of all interviewed households, as appropriate. Questions included expenditure for food, whether the household had enough food and had the kinds of food they wanted, and whether the household was running short of money and trying to make their food or food money go further. Additional questions dealt with getting food from food pantries or soup kitchens, cutting the size of or skipping meals, and losing weight because there wasn't enough food. The supplement was intended to research the full range of the severity of food insecurity and hunger as experienced in United States households and was used by the supplement sponsor to produce a scaled measure of food insecurity. Responses to individual items in this supplement are not meaningful measures of food insufficiency and should not be used in such a manner.

Michigan Census Research Data Center (MCRDC) (ICPSR 25122)
Released/updated on: 2009-03-20
Geographic coverage: United States
The Michigan Census Research Data Center (MCRDC) enables qualified researchers with projects approved by the United States Census Bureau to conduct research using unpublished data from the Census Bureau's economic and demographic programs and unpublished data from the National Center for Health Statistics. All MCRDC research is conducted within its secure laboratory facility located in the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. This controlled environment ensures that the Census Bureau's standard for securing the confidentiality of data by its census and survey respondents is rigorously maintained. More detailed information about datasets available at the MCRDC and guidelines for writing successful proposals can be found on the MCRDC Web site at the link listed below.
ICPSR Member Access to Unpublished Census Datasets at the MCRDC
To benefit its members, ICPSR has purchased a "seat" in the Michigan Census Research Data Center (MCRDC). Researchers from ICPSR member institutions may apply to use the seat without paying the customary MCRDC laboratory fees of $15,000 per year. The MCRDC enables qualified researchers with projects approved by the U.S. Census Bureau to conduct research using unpublished data from the Census Bureau's economic and demographic programs and unpublished data from the National Center for Health Statistics. All MCRDC research is conducted within its secure laboratory facility located in the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
Researchers are invited to submit proposals to use the MCRDC. Researchers with projects in the MCRDC must have special sworn status with the Census Bureau. The MCRDC assists researchers in preparing proposals and in obtaining this status.
To apply to use the ICPSR-supported seat, researchers should submit a copy of their MCRDC research proposal, together with a brief letter requesting use of the ICPSR seat, to Peter Granda, ICPSR Assistant Director of Collection Development, at least one week before submission of a proposal to the U.S. Census Bureau. All researchers are also encouraged to apply for grant funding from their universities and outside funders to support their use of the MCRDC. Note that ICPSR's role in the application process is only to determine access to the ICPSR seat. The MCRDC, the U.S. Census Bureau and other data providers undertake proposal review and determination of data access. For more information about ICPSR support for research at the MDRDC, contact Peter Granda ([email protected]).
More detailed information about datasets available at the MCRDC and tips on writing successful proposals can be found on the MCRDC Web site. To contact staff at the center, send e-mail to [email protected].
More detailed descriptions of each of these data sets are available from the MCRDC Web site's data section.
Please refer to the MCRDC and the Census Bureau Center for Economic Studies (CES) Web pages for information about the proposal process and available datasets.
