Puerto Rico Census Project, 1910 (ICPSR 4343)
Released/updated on: 2006-01-16
Geographic coverage: Puerto Rico, United States, Global
The data comprising the Puerto Rico Census Project, 1910
contain individual and household records drawn from the 1910 Puerto
Rican Population Census. The data include variables containing basic
demographic information such as age, sex, race, marital status, number
of children born and surviving, family size, place of birth,
immigration status, county and neighborhood of residence, urban/rural
status, and citizenship. The data also describe language proficiency,
literacy, school attendance, and disabilities (blind or deaf) of the
individuals. Other variables provide data on occupation, industry,
ownership of residence, status of mortgage, and farm ownership. There
are four classifications of variables belonging to this dataset:
original input variables, coded variables, constructed variables, and
quality flag variables. The original input variables contain the raw
data collected by the enumerators. The coded variables are variables
that were recoded by the University of Wisconsin Survey Center (UWSC)
as part of the Puerto Rico Census Project. Constructed variables were
produced by UWSC to capture additional relevant information. For
example, one constructed variable measures literacy by combining
separate variables containing data on whether the individual could
read and if they could write. Finally, quality flag variables were
created by UWSC to indicate whether it could be logically deduced that
individual records had been hand edited by the Census Office.
