Comparative Study of Community Power Research, 1920-1964 (ICPSR 26)

Released/updated on: 2008-03-25
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1920-01-01--1964-01-01
This study contains data relevant to 166 community power studies conducted from 1920 to 1964. The goal of the data collection was to afford comparative analyses of these selected communities by any interested future researchers. Information is provided on the theoretical and methodological apparatus of the research, such as the major data collection techniques and the model of power utilized in the investigation. Additional information is given for the primary purpose of the research, the number of communities and the mode of entry into the communities studied, the number and scope of issues studied, the level of theoretical rigor, and the replicability of the study. Other variables provide information on the community power structure, formal structure, and characteristics of politics in the communities, such as the type of local government, electoral systems established, forms of formal and informal structures of power, political party dominating local politics, community conflict resolution, sources of innovation, and the place of experts, elite groups, masses, voters, and minorities in the community. There are also variables that provide information on the type of community and city, city rating, growth of the city, type of relationship between population growth and industrial growth, and population growth rate and population size of the city per square mile. Variables on the economic base of the community include the median income for the city in 1950 and in 1960, and the proportion of the population earning under $2,000 and under $3,000 in 1950, and over $10,000 in 1960. Demographic variables on the city's residents cover the education of the population in relation to the United States median, the median age from 1950 to 1960, the proportion of the population under 5 years, over 21 years, and under 65 years of age, and the proportion of the population that was non-white in any census year, of mixed parentage in 1960 in (where one parent was of foreign birth), and foreign-born between 1910 and 1960. Data are also provided on the researchers' sex, educational institutions attended, motivation for the research, and their publications based on the research findings.

County-Specific Net Migration by Five-Year Age Groups, Hispanic Origin, Race and Sex: 2000-2010 (ICPSR 34638)

Released/updated on: 2013-09-05
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 2000-01-01--2010-01-01

These data include county-level, net migration estimates by five-year age cohorts and sex, and by race and Hispanic origin, for the intercensal period from 2000 to 2010. The estimates were prepared using a vital statistics version of the forward cohort residual method. These estimates (and the net migration rates derivable from them) extend the set of decennial estimates of net migration that have been produced following each decennial census beginning with 1960 (net migration for the 1950s: Bowles and Tarver, 1965; 1960s: Bowles, Beale and Lee, 1975; 1970s: White, Mueser and Tierney, 1987; 1980s: Fuguitt, Beale, and Voss 2010; and 1990s: Voss, McNiven, Hammer, Johnson and Fuguitt, 2004).

Further information about this project is available on the Net Migration Patterns for US Counties Web site.

County-Specific Net Migration by Five-Year Age Groups, Hispanic Origin, Race, and Sex, 2010-2020: [United States] (ICPSR 39582)

Released/updated on: 2025-11-06
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 2010-04-01--2020-04-01
This study contains county-level net migration estimates, by five-year age cohorts, sex, race, and Hispanic origin, for the intercensal period from 2010 to 2020. This file is part of a series of estimates done for each decade since 1950. Details on how net migration and corresponding net migration rates are calculated are described in the methodology document. In addition, data is available through mapping and charting interfaces at Net Migration Patterns for U.S. Counties.

Explaining Low Fertility in Italy (ELFI) (ICPSR 31881)

Released/updated on: 2012-01-12
Geographic coverage: Bologna, Cagliari, Europe, Naples, Italy, Padua

The ethnographic fieldwork portion of the project - interviews with women of reproductive age, and when available their partners and mothers - was initiated and completed in 2006. For each of four Italian cities (Padua, Bologna, Cagliari, and Naples) studied ethnographically by trained anthropologists, both a working-class and a middle-class neighborhood were identified. These interviews (349 in number) have been transcribed without identifiers. All interviews have been coded and assigned 'attributes' (or nominative variables, such as gender, civil/religious status of marriage, etc.) using the qualitative data analysis software (NVIVO), and these reside in secure electronic project folders. This large body of qualitative interview data is now complete and ready for use across the international collaborative units. Preliminary research reveals the particular significance of family ties in Italy, the fundamental role played by gender systems, and the specific cultural, socio-economic, and politic contexts in which fertility behavior and parenting are embedded.

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.
