survey. Comprehensive data are available on the employment status,
occupation, and industry of persons 15 years old and over. Also shown
are personal characteristics such as age, sex, race, marital status,
veteran status, household relationship, educational background, and
Hispanic origin. The immigration questions were asked of all household
members. The purpose of the collection of data on immigration is to
improve the quality of estimates of the foreign-born population and to
improve the projections of the U.S. population in future years that are
necessary for adequate housing, recreation, education facilities, and
other services. The emigration screening items were asked to determine
if any household member has relatives living abroad....The file is

TIGER/Line census files [MRDF]. 1991-1992. Washington, D.C. In

The following files related to the TIGER database were
released in 1992. The TIGER/census tract street index file (version 1)
"contains Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) [for] State,
county, county subdivision, and place codes and the 1990 census tract
numbers for each side of the street within the urban cores of the 550
counties....The FIPS county subdivision and place codes are useful to
determine the correct census tract number when streets with identical
names and ranges exist in different parts of the same county." The
file structure consists of a fixed-length record with a length of 106
characters. The TIGER/census tract comparability file covers all
census tracts in the United States and Puerto Rico that changed between
the 1980 and 1990 censuses. Finally, the Tiger/UA limit files "consist
of all of the linear features in the Census Bureau's TIGER data base
that were used to form the boundary of the 1990 UA [urban areas]....The
tape contains a total of 810 files (405 UAs of two record types each)
with a block size of 16,384. The length of Record Type 1 is 228
characters and Record Type 2 is 208 characters. The total record count
for all 810 files is 424,452."
