"The MARS file provides data from the 1990 [U.S.] census as
well as similar information from a special census file where the age
and race data have been 'modified' to meet the needs of many users of
census data. The race statistics were modified to be consistent with
the classification used in data sets other than the census, while the
age data were adjusted to correspond with the April 1, 1990 census
data. These 'modified' data are consistent with the counts of the 1990
census as enumerated....Data are provided for counties with State

least 2,000 people per day based on data from the 1980 census). This
