Census of population and housing, 1970 [United States]

Description

The ICPSR holdings of 1970 Census data are separated into several collections: one for each of the Summary Count files, one large collection of the Public Use files, and one containing the Master Enumeration District List (MED) file. Within these collections, various data subsets may be requested depending on the user's needs. For example, if you wish first count data for Minnesota's Congressional Districts, you can order ICPSR #8122 Summary Count 1B for Minnesota. When ordering 1970 Census data, be sure to specify the file desired as well as the specific geographic region. In addition, ICPSR #0003 contains a subset of 1970 data that might be useful for users of the 1970 Census of Population and Housing. This subset, the National Coverage file, contains all the variables published in the Advance Report of the General Population Characteristics obtained from the First Count of the 1970 Census. The information in this file is presented for all counties and states in the United States.
