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.

Census of Wholesale and Retail Trade, 1972 (ICPSR 36459)
Released/updated on: 2016-12-15
Geographic coverage: United States
The Census of Wholesale and Retail Trade combines two parts of the Economic Census conducted by the United States Census Bureau. These censuses were designed to measure the economic activity of several types of businesses within the United States. The retail and wholesale censuses conducted in 1972 recorded the number of establishments, sales, payroll, and number of paid employees for a wide variety of business categories, including general merchandise, food, automotive, gasoline, apparel, furniture, restaurants, and drug retailers. Additionally, the wholesale census logged number of establishments, sales, inventories, and payroll for merchant wholesalers, manufacturer sales branches, and merchandise agents and brokers. Both the retail and wholesale censuses provide statistics organized by type of business or operation and by city size.

Common tongue: The impact of language on educational outcomes (ICPSR 100356)
Released/updated on: 2017-01-13
Geographic coverage: India
Time period: 1951-01-01--1991-01-01
This paper investigates the impact of official language policies on education using state formation in India. Colonial provinces consisted of some districts where the official language matched the district's language and some where it did not. Linguistically mismatched districts have 18.0% lower literacy rates and 20.1% lower college graduation rates, driven by difficulty in acquiring education due to a different medium of instruction in schools. Educational achievement caught up in mismatched districts after the 1956 reorganization of Indian states on linguistic lines, suggesting that political reorganization can mitigate the impact of mismatched language policies.

Economic Census of Island Areas, 5 United States territories, 2017 (ICPSR 37681)
Released/updated on: 2020-05-15
Geographic coverage: Puerto Rico, Guam, Virgin Islands of the United States, American Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands
The 2017 Economic Census of Island Areas uses direct data collection supplemented by data from federal administrative records to compile statistics on approximately 51,000 business establishments in industries defined by the 2017 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) operating in Puerto Rico, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa. The Economic Census provides the only source of comprehensive, comparable data for the Island Areas at a geographic level similar to U.S. counties. It produces basic statistics by industry for number of establishments, sales/value of shipments/revenue, payroll, and employment. It also yields a variety of industry-specific statistics, including sales/value of shipments/revenue by product line as defined by the North American Product Classification System (NAPCS), depreciable assets, selected purchased services, inventories, capital expenditures, size of establishments, and other industry-specific measures.

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:

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.
