Doug Tower, dtower@ucsd.edu , made thorough notes of his work with
the San Diego data from this dataset.  The notes should be helpful
in using *any* of the data files.

Census of Population and Housing, 1960 Public Use Sample [United States]
One-in-One Hundred Sample

ICPSR Study No. 7756 Summary:

This collection contains individual-level data (one-in-one-hundred 
person national sample) from the 1960 Census of Population and Housing, 
conducted by the Census Bureau. The data are stored in thirty separate 
files, containing in total over two million records, organized by state. 
Some files contain the sampled records of several states while other 
files contain all or part of the sample for a single state. There 
are two types of records stored in the files: one for households and 
one for persons. Each household record is followed by a varying number 
of ''person-records,'' one for each of the household members. Data 
items in this collection include the individual responses to the basic 
social, demographic and economic questions asked of the population in 
the 1960 Census of Population and Housing. This collection is currently 
stored on numerous tapes. These data files were prepared by the Census 
Bureau. They were obtained by ICPSR from the Center for Social Analysis, 
Columbia University.
