The population and housing data are organized in 115 tables which are presented at five levels of observation: the United States Virgin Islands as a whole, island, census subdistrict, estate and place (town or census designated place). Every table cell is represented by a separate variable. The data are segmented into four data files. One data file contains geographic identification variables and the other three the population and housing variables.
Together with the data files, the Census Bureau prepared a codebook and additional documentation, a Microsoft Access database shell, and a HTML-based application for displaying the tables called the Interactive Summary Level Access and Navigation Database (ISLAND). ICPSR provides all of these components, except the codebook, in three ZIP archives. The first archive contains the data files, the second the database shell and additional documentation and the third contains ISLAND. The codebook is provided as a separate file.
