Norwegian Ecological Data, 1949-1961 (ICPSR 40)
Released/updated on: 1992-02-16
Geographic coverage: Norway, Europe
Time period: 1949-01-01--1961-01-01
This study contains election and census data for 732 Norwegian communes in the period 1949-1961. Election returns are available for the elections of 1949, 1953, 1957, and 1961. In addition, data from the censuses of 1950 and 1960 are presented, including information on demography, education, modernization, the economy, and occupational structure, and contextual information about clusters of neighboring communes. Data are provided on the total number of registered voters and the total number of votes cast for the Norwegian Communist Party, the Norwegian Labour Party, the Liberal Party (Venstre), the Christian People's Party, the Agrarian Party (the Centre Party), the Conservative Party (Hoyre), and other political parties. Additional variables provide information on age and educational levels for males and females, the total number of economically active population employed in agriculture, forestry, fisheries, manufacturing, and construction, the total value of industrial production, and the total number of private households and occupied housing units.

Philadelphia Social History Project: Grid Data, 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880 (ICPSR 34982)
Released/updated on: 2014-07-30
Geographic coverage: United States, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
This component of the Philadelphia Social History Project examines the demographic composition of city grid squares using census data from years 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880. The collection consists of two types of data files: (1) grid tallies, and (2) grid dictionaries. The grid tally files consist of counts of individuals living in PSHP grid squares, with totals broken down by race/ethnicity, sex, and age. The grid dictionary files link lines in the census manuscripts to PSHP grid squares, allowing users to follow the movements of census-takers as they moved house-to-house on foot, adding individuals to the printed census manuscript forms. The "grid" network consists of a set of vertical and horizontal lines drawn at fixed intervals across a city map, forming the foundation for the spatial organization of the data. The grid dictionary files show when census-takers crossed from one grid square to another; each row in the grid dictionary describes a set of rows that are in a specific grid square by listing the starting page/line and the ending page/line.

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.
