Census of Population and Housing 1970, 1980, 1990, and 2000 [United States]: Public Use Microdata Sample: Artist Extract Files (ICPSR 35534)

Released/updated on: 2015-03-17
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1970-01-01--1970-12-31, 1980-01-01--1980-12-31, 1990-01-01--1990-12-31, 2000-01-01--2000-12-31
The Research Division of the National Endowment for the Arts has prepared Artist Extracts from the Census Public Use Microdata Samples (PUMS) from 1970, 1980, 1990, and 2000. The extracts are intended to reduce the file size and make it easier to use census data to conduct research on artist occupations. The files contain records of all persons in households with one or more persons having a detailed occupation code considered "artist" by NEA. These occupations include: actors and directors; announcers; architects; authors; dancers; designers; musicians and composers; painters, sculptors, craft-artists, and artist printmakers; photographers; teachers of art, drama, and music in higher education; and artists, performers, and related workers not elsewhere classified. Data were collected primarily from self-enumerated questionnaires distributed to these households by the Census corresponding to the year of collection. This data collection provides information about housing, labor force, and respondents' demographic information. The number of respondents across the data files ranges from 90,632 to 303, 541.
