This data collection is a component of Summary Tape File 3, which consists of four sets of data containing detailed tabulations of the nation's population and housing characteristics produced from the 1980 Census. The STF 3 files contain sample data inflated to represent the total United States population. The files also contain 100-percent counts and unweighted sample counts of persons and housing units. All files in the STF 3 series are identical, containing 321 substantive data variables organized in the form of 150 "tables," as well as standard geographic identification variables. Population items tabulated for each person include demographic data and information on schooling, ethnicity, labor force status, and children, as well as details on occupation and income. Housing items include size and condition of the housing unit as well as information on value, age, water, sewage and heating, vehicles, and monthly owner costs. Each dataset provides different geographic coverage. STF 3A provides summaries for the states or state equivalents, counties or county equivalents, minor civil divisions (MCDs) or census county divisions (CCDs), places or place segments within MCD/CCDs and remainders of MCD/CCDs, census tracts or block numbering areas and block groups or, for areas that are not block numbered, enumeration districts, places, and congressional districts. There are 52 files, one for each state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. The information in the file for Puerto Rico is similar to but not identical to the data for the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Thus, this file is documented in a separate codebook. The Census Bureau's machine-readable data dictionary for STF 3 is also available through CENSUS OF POPULATION AND HOUSING, 1980 [UNITED STATES]: CENSUS SOFTWARE PACKAGE (CENSPAC) VERSION 3.2 WITH STF4 DATA DICTIONARIES (ICPSR 7789), the software package designed specifically by the Census Bureau for use with the 1980 Census data files.

Tracted areas (SMSAs and selected non-SMSA areas) that change between the 1970 and 1980 censuses

This file consists of an excerpt from the census of population and housing 1980. The following information is included: year of birth, gender, parish, working hours per week, and occupational categories.

This extraction of data from 1980 decennial Census files (CENSUS OF POPULATION AND HOUSING, 1980 UNITED STATES: SUMMARY TAPE FILES 3A AND 3B (ICPSR 8071, 8318)) was designed to provide a set of contextual variables to be matched to any survey dataset that has been coded for the geographic location of respondents, such as the PANEL STUDY OF INCOME DYNAMICS, 1968-1988 (ICPSR 7439). This geographic area data can also be analyzed independently with neighborhoods, labor market areas, etc., as the units of analysis. Over 120 variables were selected from the original Census sources, and more than 100 variables were derived from those component variables. The variables characterize geographic areas in terms of population counts, ethnicity, family structure, income and poverty, education, residential mobility, labor force activity, and housing. The geographic areas range from neighborhoods, through intermediate levels of geography, through large economic areas, and beyond to large regions. These variables were selected from the Census data for their relevance to problems associated with poverty and income determination, and 80 percent were present in comparable form in both the 1970 and 1980 Census datasets.

The population was enumerated with Form 2. There were two types of Form 2: (i) A Short Form which was used to collect information on 11 population characteristics for every household, and (ii) a Long Form with 26 population questions and 18 housing questions. Part 1 of the Long Form identifies the household; Part 2 collects information on the individuals; and Part 3 contains housing questions which were asked of private households only. For Bangkok and all non-municipal areas, the enumeration was carried out in two stages. In stage one, private households were enumerated using the Short Form, while collective households were enumerated using the Long Form (but were not asked questions on housing characteristics). In stage two, a 20% of private households were selected for another enumeration with the Long Form. For all other municipal areas, all persons and households were enumerated using the Long Form, but collective households were not asked detailed housing questions.

Analysis unit

Persons, households, and dwellings Excludes 2 states: Sabah and Sarawak

UNITS IDENTIFIED: - Dwellings: yes - Vacant Units: no - Households: yes - Individuals: yes - Group quarters: yes

UNIT DESCRIPTIONS: - Dwellings: Living quarters have been defined for census purposes as places of abode, which are structurally separate and independent. The terms separate and independent mean the following: Separate: A structure is considered separate if it is surrounded by walls, fence, etc., and is covered by roof. Independent: A structure is said to be independent if it has direct access via a public staircase, communal passageway or landing (that is, occupants can come in or go out of their living quarters without passing through someone else’s premises). In general, living quarters can be classified into two categories, that is: (i) Built or converted for living (e.g. house, flat, apartment, shophouse, makeshift hut, hotel, hostels, etc.) (ii) Not meant for living but used for this purpose on Census Day (e.g. in a building such as office, shop, barn, community hall, etc.) Living quarters built or converted for living can be further classified into housing units and collective living quarters. Housing units are classified into six main types, namely: House; Flat/apartment/condominium; Shop house, office; Room (with direct access to the outside); improvised/temporary hut; and others. House can be further classified into Detached house; and Semi-detached house. - Households: A household is defined as a group of persons who live together and make common provision for food and other essentials of living. The people in the group may be related or unrelated or a combination of both. A household may consist of only one person or it may be a multi-member household. - Group quarters: Living quarters which is built or converted for living (e.g. house, flat, apartment, shophouse, makeshift hut, hotel, hostels, etc.).

The 1980 Population Census included all Malaysians and non- Malaysians who had slept in private or small institutional living quarters during Census Night. However, there were several group of people who did not fall into the above category and for whom special arrangements were made: (a) Persons living in remote and security areas - These include the Orang Asli (Aborigines) in Peninsular Malaysia and other indigenous groups who live deep in the jungles in the interior of Sabah and Sarawak; also persons in security areas were included. The enumeration of such persons was done in a single stage operation. (b) Military, naval and diplomatic personnel and their families and civilians staying outside Malaysia - Since the strategy of enumeration was based on the de facto approach, this group of persons were excluded from the count. Civilians who were temporarily away from the country were also excluded. (c) Resident merchants, seamen and passengers who were at sea on Census night The following were included:- (i) Crews and passengers on coastal ships sailing in Malaysian waters or in Malaysian ports or sailing between Malaysian ports; (ii) Crews and passengers on vessels registered in Malaysia and engaged in regional trade. Crews and passengers on foreign registered ships in port or in Malaysian waters were, however, excluded. (d) Civilian residents who cross a frontier daily to work in another country -This group was included in the census if they were in Malaysia on Census night. (e) Foreign military, naval and diplomatic personnel and their families located in the country -All persons in this category were included in the census with the exception of persons having diplomatic immunity. (f) Transients -Wayfarers, homeless people and travellers were included in the census. Special arrangements were made with the police, railway and marine authorities to enumerate these people. (g) Institutions -Institutions in large hotels, hostels, hospitals and prisons were also included. (h) Army camps and army personnel on patrol -Army personnel were included in the census, through the assistance of the commanding officers of the camps.

Five types of schedules were used for the 1980 Population and Housing Census: Form 1 consisted of a House Listing Book; Form 2 was the schedule used in the Housing Census; Form 3 was used to collect information on households and; Form 4 was used for collecting individual particulars. However, persons in large hotels, hostels, hospitals, prisons and other institutions were enumerated on Form 33, a shortened version of Form 4.

Abstract (en): The Public Use Microdata Samples (PUMS) contain person- and household-level information from the "long-form" questionnaires distributed to a sample of the population enumerated in the 1980 Census. This data collection, containing 5-percent data, identifies every state, county groups, and most individual counties with 100,000 or more inhabitants (350 in all). In many cases, individual cities or groups of places with 100,000 or more inhabitants are also identified. Household-level variables include housing tenure, year structure was built, number and types of rooms in dwelling, plumbing facilities, heating equipment, taxes and mortgage costs, number of children, and household and family income. The person record contains demographic items such as sex, age, marital status, race, Spanish origin, income, occupation, transportation to work, and education. All persons and housing units in the United States and Puerto Rico. For this data collection, the full 1980 Census sample that received the "long-form" questionnaire (19.4 percent of all households) was sampled again through a stratified systematic selection procedure with probability proportional to a measure of size. This 5-percent sample, i.e., 5 households for every 100 households in the nation, includes over one-fourth of the households that received the long-form questionnaire. 2006-01-12 All files were removed from dataset 81 and flagged as study-level files, so that they will accompany all downloads.2006-01-12 All files were removed from dataset 80 and flagged as study-level files, so that they will accompany all downloads.2006-01-12 All files were removed from dataset 81 and flagged as study-level files, so that they will accompany all downloads.2006-01-12 All files were removed from dataset 80 and flagged as study-level files, so that they will accompany all downloads.1997-08-25 Part 72, Puerto Rico data, has been added to the collection, as well as supplemental documentation for Puerto Rico in the form of a separate PDF file. The household and person records in each hierarchical data file have logical record lengths of 193 characters, but the number of records varies with each file.The record layout for Part 72, Puerto Rico, is different from the state datasets. Refer to the supplemental documentation for this part.The codebook is available in hardcopy form only, while the Puerto Rico supplemental documentation is provided as a Portable Document Format (PDF) file.

This documentation has been created by ICPSR for the restricted version of Census 1980 distributed by the Bureau of the Census. The restricted data is based on questions from the long form questionnaire, and was collected from one in six households in the United States. Topics covered include income, ancestry, citizenship status, home values, commute time to work, occupation, education, veteran status, language ability, migration, place of birth, and many others. The documentation available here provides files summaries, variable information, and facilitates sorting of the data by race or by a wide variety of geographical units. ICPSR is not distributing the restricted data, only the documentation for the restricted data. Users who wish to access the restricted data can find more information at the Michigan Census Research Data Center Web site. Users should also note that the data for the public versions of Census 1980 are available from ICPSR.

Abstract (en): The Public Use Microdata Samples (PUMS) contain person- and household-level information from the "long-form" questionnaires distributed to a sample of the population enumerated in the 1980 Census. The B Sample containing 1-percent data, consists of a file for each state and an additional file for households and persons residing in metropolitan areas that are too small to be separately identified and/or that cross state boundaries. The B Sample defines Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSAs) and county groups differently than in the A Sample [CENSUS OF POPULATION AND HOUSING, 1980 [UNITED STATES]: PUBLIC USE MICRODATA SAMPLE (A SAMPLE): 5-PERCENT SAMPLE (ICPSR 8101)]. Most states cannot be identified in their entirety. Household-level variables include housing tenure, year structure was built, number and types of rooms in dwelling, plumbing facilities, heating equipment, taxes and mortgage costs, number of children, and household and family income.

Summary Tape File (STF) 1 consists of four sets of computer-readable data files containing detailed tabulations of the nation's population and housing characteristics produced from the 1980 Census. This series is comprised of STF 1A, STF 1B, STF 1C, and STF 1D. All files in the STF 1 series are identical, containing 321 substantive data variables organized in the form of 59 "tables," as well as standard geographic identification variables. All of the data items contained in the STF 1 files were tabulated from the "complete count" or "100-percent" questions included on the 1980 Census questionnaire. All four groups of files within the STF 1 series have identical record formats and technical characteristics and differ only in the types of geographical areas for which the summarized data items are presented. STF 1B contains summaries for states, standard metropolitan statistical areas (portions within states), counties, minor civil divisions (available for 20 states), places, census tracts or block numbering areas, and blocks or enumeration districts. There are 52 data files, one for each state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Housing items tabulated include occupancy/vacancy status, tenure, contract rent, value, condominium status, number of rooms, and plumbing facilities. Population items include demographic information such as age, sex, race, marital status, Spanish origin, household relationship, and household type. Selected aggregates, means, and medians are also provided.
