Census of Turin, Italy, 1705 (ICPSR 3577)
Released/updated on: 2005-12-15
Geographic coverage: Italy, Global
This study is a census enumeration of the city of Turin, Italy, in 1705. The census was ordered by Duke Victor Amadeus II as the city prepared for a siege from part of the French army, as ordered by King Louis XIV. A house-by-house survey of all inhabitants was conducted to assess how many men were able to bear arms and how many people there were to feed. All of the inhabitants, including both citizens and immigrants streaming into the city from the surrounding countryside to escape the invaders, were listed by name, along with their ages, family relationships, birthplaces, occupations, dwelling places, and any weapons kept in the household. Fifty cantonieri (ward-captains) were assigned to survey the 122 isole (city blocks). The information for 15 of the isole are absent. This study also includes a WinZipped archive of AtlasGIS files, which can be used to produce maps of Turin, Italy.

Los Angeles Family and Neighborhood Survey (L.A.FANS), Los Angeles Neighborhood Services and Characteristics Data (L.A.NSC), 1980-2010 (ICPSR 37277)
Released/updated on: 2019-07-22
Geographic coverage: United States, Los Angeles, California
Time period: 1980-01-01--2010-01-01
This study, known as the Los Angeles Neighborhood Services and Characteristics data (L.A.NSC) includes data from governmental and business data sources on the characteristics of census tracts in Los Angeles County from 1980 to 2010. The unit of analysis is 1990 census tract (census tracts using 1990 census tract boundaries). The data also include crosswalks for census boundaries across census years. It is public use data.
The L.A.NSC data were assembled by the L.A.FANS projects to be used with L.A.FANS survey data restricted data versions 2, 2.5, and 3 all of which contain 1990 census tract numbers which can be linked with data in this file. However, the L.A.NSC files includes ALL census tracts in Los Angeles County, not just the 65 tracts sampled by L.A.FANS. Thus, the L.A.NSC data can be analyzed on their own without linkage to L.A.FANS survey data and provide longitudinal data on the characteristics of Los Angeles census tracts over a 30 year period.
Additional information on the data is available at the RAND website. See also:

Population Redistribution and Economic Growth in the United States: Population Data, 1870-1960 (ICPSR 7753)
Released/updated on: 2011-08-31
Geographic coverage: North Carolina, Indiana, Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, Montana, Kentucky, California, Kansas, Florida, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Illinois, Texas, Connecticut, Georgia, Virginia, Maryland, Idaho, Oregon, Vermont, United States, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Maine, Alabama, Arkansas, Washington, South Carolina, Nebraska, West Virginia, Massachusetts, Colorado, Missouri, Alaska, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Nevada, New York, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Hawaii, Minnesota, New Jersey, Michigan, New Mexico, New Hampshire, Louisiana, Ohio
Time period: 1870-01-01--1960-01-01
Detailed demographic characteristics of the population of the United States from 1870 to 1960 are contained in this data collection. Included are state-level estimates of the nation's inhabitants by sex, race, nativity and age, as well as intercensal migration calculated by age, race, and sex. The basic information recorded in this collection was obtained from the decennial censuses of the United States or estimated by the principal investigators from material collected by the decennial censuses. The collection is comprised of thirteen separate data files. Each contains information for every state in the nation. All parts have a rectangular file structure with one record per case, with the number of cases ranging from 50 to 2,891, and the record length from 203 to 2,930 per part. Standard geographic identifying codes used in all of the files permit the combination of two or more of the files as research interests dictate.

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.

Puerto Rico's Padrones, 1779-1802 (ICPSR 30262)
Released/updated on: 2011-04-07
Geographic coverage: Puerto Rico, Global
Time period: 1779-01-01--1802-01-01
The series consists of 23 annual censuses spanning the years 1779 to 1802, a collection that for its scope and continuity is unique among serial sources of Spanish American colonial history. The padrones were born of a 1776 Royal Order requesting viceroys and executives of Capitanías Generales and Gobernaciones, such as Puerto Rico, to prepare reports on population, broken down by social status, race, and sex. The focus was the civilian population and, therefore, excludes the regular army troops. The series reports the population of Whites, Indians, free Mulattoes, free Blacks, Mulatto slaves and Black slaves for each of 30 partidos in all 23 years (producing a total of 690 observations). Each socio-racial group was subdivided by sex and an ambiguous "age" criterion, which we have interpreted as the difference between dependent (or minor) status and mayoría de edad (adulthood or full age, which in the Spanish American context was 25 years of age). For each group, there are four subdivisions: adult males, adult females, young males, and young females.
