Codename: PUMSB90 Year: 1990 Status: Description: Public Use Microdata Samples (PUMS) contain records representing 5% or 1% samples of the housing units in the U.S. and the persons in them. Selected group quarters persons are also included. The file contains individual weights for each person and housing unit which, when applied to the individual records, expand the sample to the total population. Most population and housing items are listed below. Please see the Data Dictionary for a complete listing of variables and recodes. Both the 5% and 1% samples have the same subject content and vary only in geographic composition of the Public Use Microdata Area (PUMA). Items on the housing record include: Allocation Flags for Housing Items Bedrooms Condominium Status Contract Rent Cost of Utilities Family Income in 1989 Family Subfamily and Relationship Recodes Farm Status and Value Fire, Hazard, Flood Insurance Fuels Used Gross Rent House Heating Fuel Household Income in 1989 Household Type Housing Unit Weight Kitchen Facilities Linguistic Isolation Meals Included in Rent Mortgage Status and Selected Monthly Owner Costs Plumbing Facilities Presence and Age of Own Children Presence of Subfamilies in Household Property Value Real Estate Taxes Rooms Sewage Disposal Source of Water State (Residence) Telephone in Housing Unit Tenure Units in Structure Vacancy Status Vehicles Available Year Householder Moved into Unit Year Structure Built Items on the person record include: Ability to Speak English Age Allocation Flags for Population Items Ancestry Children Ever Born Citizenship Class of Worker Disability Status Educational Attainment Hispanic Origin Hours Worked Income in 1989 by Type Industry Language Spoken at Home Marital Status Means of Transportation Migration PUMA Migration State Military Status, Periods of Active Duty Military Service, Veteran Period of Service Mobility Status Occupation Person's Weight Personal Care Limitation Place of Birth Place of Work PUMA Place of Work State Poverty Status in 1989 Race Relationship School Enrollment and Type of School Weeks Worked in 1989 Work Status in 1989 Time of Departure for Work Work Limitation Status Travel Time to Work Year of Entry Vehicle Occupancy GEOGRAPHIC COVERAGE Each PUMS file provides records for States and many of their geographic levels. The 1% sample was based primarily on ropolitan/non-metropolitan areas, and contains PUMAs which were made from whole central cities, whole MSAs or PMSAs, MSA or PMSAs outside the central city, groups of MSAs or PMSAs, and groups of areas outside MSAs or PMSAs. When the areas have more than 200,000 persons, 1% PUMAs can represent parts of central cities, MSA/PMSAs, and so forth. 1% PUMAs may cross State lines and in that case State codes are not shown. The 1% Sample identifies MAs of 100,000 or more inhabitants. The remaining MAs are paired together so that metropolitan and non- metropolitan territory can be separately analyzed. Many large cities, groups of cities, and counties are identified within large MAs. Outside MAs, counties are grouped according to State planning districts or into other reasonable analytic units with populations of 100,000 or more. On the l% sample, when PUMAs cross state boundaries, states are not separately identified. All of these records appear on a separate file where the state is identified as "99". Public-use microdata samples are computer accessible files which contain records for a sample of housing units, with information on the characteristics of each unit and the people in it. We exclude information which would identify a household or an individual in order to protect the confidentiality of respondents. Within the limits of the sample size and geographic detail, these files allow users to prepare virtually any tabulations they require. Media: FTP or CDROM

The 5% sample identifies every State and various subdivisions of States called "Public Use Microdata Areas", each with at least 100,000 persons. These PUMAs were primarily based on counties, and may be whole counties, groups of counties, and places. When these entities have more than 200,000 persons, PUMAs can represent parts of counties, places, etc. None of these PUMAs on the 5% sample crosses state lines. Areas with populations under 100,000 have been grouped into reasonable analytic units often equivalent to State planning district boundaries. In New England, areas are defined in terms of cities and towns rather than counties. Public-use microdata samples are computer accessible files which contain records for a sample of housing units, with information on the characteristics of each unit and the people in it. We exclude information which would identify a household or an individual in order to protect the confidentiality of respondents.

Ncases: Title: 1990 TIGER/Line Source: US Census Bureau Owner: US Census Bureau
Codename: 1990TGR Year: 1990 Status: Description: TIGER, an automated geographic data base, stands for Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing System. It allows the production of various geographic products to support the 1990 census. It provides coordinate-based digital map information for the entire United States, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Pacific territories over which the United States has jurisdiction. The TIGER System will significantly improve 1990 census maps and geographic reference products and will permit users to generate, by computer, maps at different scales for any geographic area of the country. The Census Bureau expects that extracts from the TIGER System will be released in several formats. One extract of selected geographic and cartographic information is called the TIGER/Line files. TIGER/Line files contain basic data for the segments of each boundary or feature (e.g., roads, railroads, and rivers), including adjacent census geographic area codes, latitude, longitude coordinates of segment end points, the name and type of the feature, and the relevant census feature class code identifying the feature segment by category. TIGER/Line files also furnish address ranges and associated ZIP Codes for each side of street segments for areas approximating the urbanized areas. The TIGER/Line files are organized by county and are available to the public now in a precensus version and later in a final 1990 census version. The files are released on computer tape and CD-ROM. 1990 Census TIGER/Line Files Selected geographic and cartographic information from the TIGER data base has been released in the form of the TIGER/Line(TM) files‹available by county. These files cover the entire United States, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and Palau, as well as two Pacific territories over which the United States had jurisdiction at the time of the 1980 census‹the Federated States of Micronesia and the Marshall Islands. Each 1990 Census TIGER/Line(TM) file contains digital information for all 1990 census map features as well as the 1990 census geographic area codes, including census tracts/BNA's, block numbers, and governmental unit boundaries as of January 1, 1990. The files contain the same geographic area codes as the 10 census data products, including census designated places, voting districts, and the 101st Congressional districts. The TIGER/Line(TM) files are separated into 12 record types that contain latitude and longitude coordinates for the end points of each Line segment; coordinate points that describe the shape of each Line segment that is not a straight Line; Census Bureau and, where available, Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) codes for Al/ANA, State, county, county subdivision, place, census tract/BNA, block, voting district, and congressional district; a feature names list; an index to alternate feature names; and, where available, address ranges and their ZIP Codes for the right and left sides of each street segment. Additional record types include landmark names, coordinates, and polygon identifiers. The geographic and cartographic information in the TIGER/Line(TM) files can be combined with statistical information, such as 1990 census data about population, housing, or income, or any other type of data, using mainframe or personal computers. With the proper software, the TIGER/Line(TM) files enable users to create a map of any area they need and to analyze information about that area. Computer mapping is an invaluable tool for interpreting data. Its uses include legislative redistricting, thematic mapping, and geographic information systems applications. State and local governments have used the TlGER/Line(TM) files to generate maps for resource allocations, site analysis, and emergency vehicle routing. Businesses such as utility companies, banks, insurance companies, oil companies, and delivery companies have used such maps to analyze markets and draw new service area boundaries. Network analysis allows users to determine the ideal route between two points‹whether it be the fastest (directing emergency vehicles) or the safest (movement of hazardous materials). Geocoding allows users with local address files to relate addresses to particular geographic areas. By adding a geographic code, such as a census tract number, to data records with addresses, the data can be tabulated or displayed on a map and compared to other information, such as census data, reported for the same geographic level. For the 1990 Census TIGER/Line files, two new record types are added: A: Additional Polygon Geographic Area Codes R: Record Number Range Four record types are added to the Initial Voting District Codes TIGER/Line Files: 7: Landmark Features 8: Area Landmarks I: Area Boundaries P: Polygon Location Media: FTP

Ncases: Title: 1998 Washington State Population Survey (SPS) Source: The Social and Economic Sciences Research Center, Washington State University Owner: Washington State Office of Financial Man
Codename: WSPS98 Year: 1998 Status: A Description: The SPS was designed to provide a profile of Washington residents between decennial censuses. It collected data on topics such as employment, work experience, income, education, in-migration, health, health insurance, commute pattern, computer ownership, and internet usage, in addition to basic demographics. The population for this survey consists of all households located within the geographic boundaries of Washington State. Because this was a telephone survey, only the households with telephones were potential subjects. However, the 1990 census shows that less than 4 percent of Washington households did not have telephones. Households on military compounds and other group quarters (such as student dormitories, prisons, and nursing homes) were also excluded from this survey. Since there is no universal list of all the households as defined above from which a random sample can be obtained, SESRC used the random digit dialing (RDD) approach to obtain the required sample. The RDD approach is most commonly used to ensure equal probability of selection for each household with an activated telephone line, listed or not. The RDD sampling frame SESRC used was prepared by the Genesys Sampling Company. Media: FTP

Codename: WSPS2000 Year: 2000 Status: Description: The 2000 Washington State Population Survey (SPS) is the second in a series of surveys designed to provide, biennially, a detailed profile of Washington State residents. The survey provides information on topics such as employment, income, education, immigration, health, and health insurance, and borrows its structure and many of its questions from the national Current Population Survey (CPS). The original survey was constructed in 1998, and minor changes were made for the 2000 survey. The SPS is a valuable component to other reports and data resources addressing Washington's population. For example, although the federal Census was also conducted in 2000, the SPS provides a consistent source of information at more frequent intervals than the decennial Census. Also, the March CPS measures income statewide on a year-to-year basis, but has a much smaller sample size and does not provide the regional income data found in the SPS. Results for both surveys are available for Washington State and, for some items, for eight regions within Washington. The regions, all either single counties or groups of counties, are shown below. The sample design supports the regional data. No data are available for smaller/other areas. More detailed information is available at http://www.ofm.wa.gov/sps/2000/index.htm.

The focus of this poll was the fifth anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Respondents were asked whether they approved of the way President George W. Bush was handling the presidency and issues such as the campaign against terrorism and the situation in Iraq. Information was collected on how closely respondents were following the upcoming congressional and gubernatorial election, whether they would vote for a Democratic or Republican candidate if the election for the United States House of Representatives were being held that day, and the single most important issue in their vote for Congress members. Other questions asked which political party they trusted to do a better job handling the main problems the nation would face over the next few years, and whether they approved of the way Congress and their own representative to the United States House of Representatives were handling their jobs. Views were also sought on the war in Iraq and Donald Rumsfield's handling of his job as Secretary of Defense. Respondents were asked how well they thought the campaign against terrorism was going, whether the country was safer from terrorism compared to before September 11, 2001, and whether Osama bin Laden would have to be captured or killed for the war on terrorism to be a success. Information was collected about the impact of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on respondents' lives, how concerned they were about the possibility of more major terrorist attacks in the United States, how much confidence they had in the government's ability to prevent another major terrorist attack, whether the federal government was intruding on the privacy rights of Americans in its investigation of possible terrorist attacks, and whether this intrusion was justified. Additional topics addressed the religion of Islam, new airport security measures, and how proud they felt to be an American. Demographic variables include sex, age, race, education level, household income, voter registration and participation history, political party affiliation, political philosophy, employment status, marital status, and type of residential area (e.g., urban or rural).

Codename: ABCtmop04 Year: May 2004 Status: A Description: This special topic poll, conducted May 10-16, 2004, was undertaken to assess public opinion on the problem of obesity in the United States. Respondents were asked to rate their own personal health and the importance of a healthy diet and physical exercise in their lives. Questions were posed regarding how often respondents and their children watched television, used the Internet, e-mail, or computer games for personal use, and engaged in moderate or vigorous physical exercise, how much influence their children had on what food the family ate, whether they kept a supply of fresh fruits and vegetables in their home, and whether they or their children were overweight. Respondents were polled on how often they ate at fast-food restaurants, whether they tried to track the amount of calories, carbohydrates, and fat content in their daily diets, whether they wanted to lose or gain weight, whether they had followed any type of weight-loss program, and whether it had helped them. Several questions asked about the hardest part of losing weight, the biggest causes of obesity in the United States, whether respondents had ever felt that they were discriminated against because of their weight, whether they had any negative feelings about people who were overweight, and whether certain groups or institutions such as the fast-food industry and government policies and laws bore any responsibility for the nation's obesity problem. Respondents were also polled on whether they would support or oppose government policies such as a tax on high-fat or high-sugar foods, requiring labels on certain foods warning of the health risks of being overweight, and setting a legal limit on portion sizes in restaurants. Other topics addressed whether health insurance companies should be able to drop coverage or charge higher premiums to people who are overweight, whether schools should be allowed to raise money by allowing soda and candy vending machines in school, the seriousness of problems such as cancer, AIDS, cigarette smoking, obesity, and drug and alcohol abuse as public health issues, and whether the federal government was doing enough about these problems.
