Household Mailstream Study, 1977 (ICPSR 8412)
Released/updated on: 2006-01-18
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1976-12-06--1977-12-31
The primary purpose of this survey was to develop a description of the United States household mailstream for the United States Postal Service (USPS) and to provide annualized, nationwide estimates of the volume of mail received and sent by households in the United States. To this end, the survey gathered information on the characteristics of every USPS letter and package that was sent or received by each sampled household on every day of a preassigned week in the survey period. Daily accounts of items not handled by the USPS were also gathered, e.g., United Parcel Service, telegrams, long-distance telephone calls, newspapers, magazines, advertisements, free samples, campaign literature, and utility bills. In addition to providing mailstream information, respondents answered questions pertaining to their mail delivery and mailing practices, their knowledge of mail and other means of communications, and their opinions on both the performance of the USPS and on proposed changes in mail service and rates. They also supplied information on any stamp collectors living in their household, the age and sex of the collectors, the kinds of stamps they collected, and their expenditures on United States commemorative stamps and corner stamps from sheets of new USPS issues. The dataset includes data on the location of the household, length of residence in the current dwelling unit, family income, the age of each household member, and the age, sex, race, education, occupation, and employment status of the respondent and the head of household.

Washington Post District of Columbia Mail Service Poll, December 1994 (ICPSR 3866)
Released/updated on: 2005-01-07
Geographic coverage: District of Columbia, United States
Time period: 1994-12-01--1994-12-31
This special topic poll, conducted December 2-5, 1994, is part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicit public opinion on the presidency and on a range of other political and social issues. The focus of this data collection was the performance of the United States Postal Service in the District of Columbia. Respondents were asked to rate first class mail service to their homes, counter service at the post office, the delivery of periodicals, and overall performance compared to years past. They were asked to give opinions on acceptable lengths of delivery times if the sender were local versus 600 miles from the recipient. Specific questions addressed whether respondents experienced any problems receiving mail and whether, given the level of service received, they thought that 32 or 29 cents to mail a letter first class was worth the expense. Background variables include age, call-back receptivity, ethnicity, household income, and sex.
