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.

Time period: 1990-01-01--2000-01-01, 2000-01-01--2010-01-01
The RAND Center for Population Health and Health Disparities (CPHHD) Data Core Series is composed of a wide selection of analytical measures, encompassing a variety of domains, all derived from a number of disparate data sources. The CPHHD Data Core's central focus is on geographic measures for census tracts, counties, and Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) from two distinct geo-reference points, 1990 and 2000. The current study, Decennial Census Abridged, has two cross-sectional datasets, one longitudinal (interpolated) dataset, and one longitudinal (extrapolated) dataset containing a large number and variety of population and housing characteristics-related measures. These data are summarized at five different geographic levels: tract, county (FIPS), county (Geographic), MSA (Geographic), and state. The following types of measures constructed from the Census Bureau Population and Housing Characteristics data are included in the data for this collection: housing characteristics (stock, quality, ownership, costs, expenditures, occupancy, etc.), crowding (housing and population density), urbanicity, racial and ethnic composition, language, nationality, and citizenship. Further measures cover family/household structure, transportation, educational attainment, labor force, employment status, disabilities, income, poverty, and demographics (e.g., age, gender, and race).

Replication: Reform, Rails, and Rice: Political Railroads and Local Development in Thailand (ICPSR 193269)
Released/updated on: 2023-08-14
Geographic coverage: Thailand
Time period: 1947-01-01--1966-01-01
How do external threats on state sovereignty benefit local development? In this paper, we look at Thailand’s railroad projects in the late-19th and early 20th centuries as an example of a state’s strategic response to colonial encroachment. By transporting government officials and establishing a permanent administrative presence, the railways served to ensure Thailand’s sovereignty over peripheral regions and bring them under direct governance. These regions, long considered economically unviable and disconnected from Bangkok, gained rail access due to their strategic importance and in turn witnessed urbanization and increased agricultural production.

School District Geographic Reference File, 1969-1970 (ICPSR 3515)
Released/updated on: 2002-11-14
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1969-01-01--1970-01-01
The geographic cross-reference files have been created to allow the user to prepare additional data summaries relevant to school districts. Another use for the geographic cross-reference files is to provide the ability to equate detailed record files having school district codes with census geographic units. This capability could be used to relate administrative record summaries with census geographic data. This data collection is a school district georeference file collected during 1969-1970 that has been instrumental in aggregating First Count Summary Data by school district and can be used in interpreting the School District First Count file. This file does not contain data for the State of Maryland. Variables include state, county, minor civil division (MCD), MCD-place, census tract, block group, enumeration district (ED), population of block group, school district code, school district type, percentage of population in school district, place description, congressional district, school district name, grade range, standard metropolitan statistical area (SMSA), and government ID code.

The geographic cross-reference files have been created to allow the user to prepare additional data summaries relevant to school districts. Another use for the geographic cross-reference files is to provide the ability to equate detailed record files having school district codes with census geographic units. This capability could be used to relate administrative record summaries with census geographic data. This data collection is the most current georeference file for the years 1973-1974. While it does not include all United States geography, it can be used to link district data with data available by other census areas. Variables include state, county, minor civil division (MCD), MCD-place, census tract, block group, enumeration district (ED), population of block group, school district code, school district type, percentage of population in school district, place description, congressional district, school district name, grade range, standard metropolitan statistical area (SMSA), and government ID code.

West Malaysian Family Survey, 1966-1967 (ICPSR 31582)
Released/updated on: 2012-01-16
Geographic coverage: Malaysia
Time period: 1966-01-01--1967-01-01
The Family Survey was a national (contemporary Peninsular Malaysia) probability sample survey consisting of an initial household screening interview followed by an intensive interview of all currently married women, aged 15 to 45, living in the screened households. The primary objective of the survey was to gather baseline data on fertility and on family planning knowledge, attitudes, and practices. The survey was conducted by the Malaysian Department of Statistics for the National Family Planning Board of Malaysia. Technical assistance was provided by the staff of the Population Studies Center of the University of Michigan.
