These data are part of NACJD's Fast Track Release and are distributed as they were received from the data depositor. The files have been zipped by NACJD for release, but not checked or processed except for the removal of direct identifiers. Users should refer to the accompanying readme file for a brief description of the files available with this collection and consult the investigator(s) if further information is needed.

This project used data from multiple sources-the area-identified National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS, 2008-2012), and data from other public data sources such as the American Community Survey (ACS) and the decennial Census data-to study how the changing geography of American immigration has influenced violent victimization among different racial and ethnic groups, particularly Blacks, Hispanics, and Whites.

This collection includes three Stata data files:

"Data_File1_county_foreignborn_1980_2010.dta" with 6 variables and 3,103 cases
"Data_File2_county_variables_2007_2012.dta" with 19 variables and 18,618 cases
"Data_File3_tract_variables_2007_2012.dta" with 16 variables and 440,083 cases.

The area-identified NCVS data are only accessible through the Census Research Data Centers and could not be archived.

Current Population Survey, November 1979 (ICPSR 8052)

Released/updated on: 1992-02-16

Geographic coverage: United States

This data collection supplies standard monthly labor force data for the week prior to the survey. Comprehensive information is given on the employment status, occupation, and industry of persons 14 years old and older. Additional data are available concerning weeks worked and hours per week worked, reason not working full-time, total income and income components, and residence. Besides the CPS core questions, this survey also gathered supplemental data on ethnicity, literacy, and language. Respondents were asked specific questions about their country of birth, parents' countries of birth, citizenship, year of immigration, ancestry, and current language spoken at home. If a foreign language was spoken at home, respondents indicated their ability to read and write this language as well as English. The language spoken at home when the respondent was a child was also identified. In addition, all states and 44 standard metropolitan statistical areas are identified and ranked by population size according to 1970 population figures. Information on demographic characteristics, such as age, sex, race, household relationship, and Hispanic origin, marital status, veteran status, and educational background, is available for each person in the household enumerated.

Mexican Origin People in the United States: Detroit Pretest, 1978 (ICPSR 8000)

Released/updated on: 1992-02-16

Geographic coverage: Detroit, United States, Michigan

This study was conducted for the purpose of developing an appropriate measurement instrument for the Chicano Survey, which would be conducted one year later. Four different questionnaires were administered over a period of three months to 111 people of Mexican descent who agreed to participate in the survey. Due to attrition, subsequent surveys had fewer respondents. The data for all four questionnaires have been combined into a single dataset. Variables provide information on respondents' feelings about Mexican political and cultural history, the extent of their cultural affiliation, their mental health, marriage, and aspirations for themselves and their children.

Socioeconomic indicators for Functional Urban Regions in the United States, 1820-1970 (ICPSR 7509)

Released/updated on: 1992-02-16

Geographic coverage: United States

Time period: 1820-01-01--1970-01-01

This study provides social, demographic, and economic data on the United States population compiled from ICPSR holdings of county-level census materials and enhanced with information obtained from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) of the United States Department of Commerce. County-level socioeconomic indicators were aggregated and reported for 171 functional urban regions encompassing the entire contiguous United States. These regions, established in the early 1960s by BEA, comprise whole counties surrounding a central Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area node that served as a recipient location of work commuting or a center of newspaper circulation, wholesale trade, or banking transactions. Total population counts, proportions of adults, males, African-Americans, and foreign-born, measures of population change, number of persons per household, and per capita values of manufactured and farm products are listed for census years between 1820-1970. For some years, data on per capita income were obtained from BEA publications. The study also includes derived measures computed by the principal investigators, such as logarithmic values of population totals, Z-scores of most of the basic indicators, and measures of decadal population growth for each region normalized by the rate of population growth for the nation as a whole. A description of the methods employed in computing these variables, as well as a report of the initial analysis using these data, is found in Sam Bass Warner, Jr. and Sylvia Fleisch, "The Past of Today's Present: A Social History of America's Metropolises, 1960-1860," JOURNAL OF URBAN HISTORY 3,1 (November 1976), 3-118.
