A-53 POPULATION CHARACTERISTICS AGE The data on age were derived from answers to questionnaire item 5, which was asked of all per- sons. The age classification is derived from res- pondent data on date of birth. Data on age are used to determine the applicabili- ty of other questions for a person and to classify other characteristics in census tabulations. Age data are needed to interpret most social and eco- nomic characteristics used to plan and examine many programs and policies. Therefore, age is tabulated by single years of age and by many dif- ferent groupings, such as 5-year age groups. Some tabulations are shown by the age of the householder. These data were derived from the age responses for each householder. (For more information on householder, see the discussion under “Household Type and Relationship.”) Median Age This measure divides the age distribution into two equal parts: one half of the cases falling below the median value and one-half above the value. Generally, median age is computed on the basis of more detailed age intervals than are shown in some census publications; thus, a median based on a less detailed age distribution may differ slightly from a corresponding median for the same population based on a more detailed age distribution. (For more information on medians, see the discussion under “Derived Measures.”) Limitation of Data Counts in the 1970 and 1980 censuses for persons 100 years old and over were substantially over- stated. Improvements were made in the ques- tionnaire design and the allocation procedures to attempt to minimize this problem in the 1990 census, and this was continued in the 2000 census and the 1995, 1997, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 surveys. Comparability—Age data have been collected in every census. The 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995 survey data followed the pattern of the 2000 and the 1990 censuses and are not available by quarter year of age. The 1990 and Definitions of Subject Characteristics A-3 2000 censuses and the 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 surveys coded information could be ob- tained for both age and year of birth, while the 1997 and 1995 surveys coded only date of birth. In each census since 1950, the age of a person was assigned when it was not reported. Since 1960, assignment of unknown age has been per- formed by a general procedure described as “im- putation.” The specific procedures for imputing age have been different in each census. (For more information on imputation, see Appendix B, Accuracy of the Data.) CITIZENSHIP The data on citizenship were derived from an- swers to questionnaire item P9, which was asked of all persons. Citizen—Includes persons who indicated that they were native-born and foreign-born persons who indicated that they have become naturalized. (For more information on native and foreign born, see the discussion under “Place of Birth.”) There are four categories of citizenship: (1) born in the U.S. Virgin Islands, (2) born in the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam or CNMI (3) born abroad of American parent or parents, and (4) cit- izen by naturalization. Naturalized Citizen—Foreign-born persons who had completed the naturalization process at the time of the census/survey and upon whom the rights of citizenship had been con- ferred. Not a Citizen—Includes foreign-born persons who were not citizens, including persons who had begun but not completed the naturalization process at the time of the census, as well as tem- porary residents whose status did not permit the acquisition of U.S. citizenship. Limitation of the Data—Evaluation studies completed after previous censuses indicated that some persons might have reported themselves as citizens although they had not yet attained the status. Comparability—In the 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995 surveys, as in the 1990 and 2000 censuses, both native and foreign-born persons were asked to respond to the citizenship question. In 1995, 1997, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004, an additional response was sought to provide data on temporary residents who were not citizens. EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT Data on educational attainment were derived from answers to questionnaire item P13 which was a two-part question asked of all persons. In P13a, persons are classified according to the highest level of school completed or the highest degree received. The question included instruc- tions to report the level of the previous grade at- tended or the highest degree received for persons currently enrolled in school. The question in- cluded response categories which allowed per- sons to report completing the 12th grade without receiving a high school diploma, and which in- structed respondents to report as “high school graduate(s)” persons who received either a high school diploma or the equivalent, for example, passed the Test of General Educational Develop- ment (G.E.D.) test, and did not attend college. The lowest response category was “no school completed.” Interviewers were instructed that schooling com- pleted in foreign or ungraded school systems should be reported as the equivalent level of schooling in the regular American system: that vocational certificates or diplomas from voca- tional, trade, or business schools or colleges were not to be reported unless they were college level degrees; and that honorary degrees were not to be reported. The instructions gave “medicine, denti- stry, chiropractic, optometry, osteopathic medi- cine, pharmacy, podiatry, veterinary medicine, law, and theology” as examples of professional A-4 Definitions of Subject Characteristics school degrees, and specifically excluded “barber school, cosmetology, or other training for a spe- cific trade” from the professional school category. The order in which they were listed suggested that doctorate degrees were “higher” than mas- ter's degrees. Persons who did not report educational attain- ment were assigned the attainment of a person of the same age, race and Hispanic origin, and sex who resided in the same or a nearby area. In those cases where more than one category was selected, only the highest level or degree reported was retained. High School Graduate or Higher—Includes persons whose highest degree was a high school diploma or its equivalent, persons who attended college or a professional school, and persons who received a college, university, or professional degree. Persons who reported completing the 12th grade but not receiving a diploma are not included. Not Enrolled, Not High School Gradu- ate—includes persons of compulsory school attendance age or above who were not enrolled in school and were not high school graduates; these persons may be taken to be “high school dropouts.” There is no restric- tion on when they “dropped out” of school, and they may have never attended high school. In prior censuses, “Median school years com- pleted” was used as a summary measure of edu- cational attainment. In the 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995 surveys, as in the 2000 census, the median can only be calculated for groups of which less than half of the members have attended college. “Percent high school graduate or higher” and “Percent bachelor's de- gree or higher” are summary measures which can be calculated from the present data and offer quite readily interpretable measures of differenc- es between population subgroups. To make com- parisons over time, “Percent high school graduate or higher” can be calculated and “Percent bache- lor's degree or higher” can be approximated with data from previous censuses. Comparability—Educational attainment ques- tions in terms of years of school completed were included on the census from 1950 to 1980. In 1950, a single question was asked on highest grade of school completed. In the censuses of 1960 through 1980, a two-part question asking highest grade of school attained and whether that grade was finished was used to construct highest grade or year of school completed. For persons who have not attended college, the 2000 census and the 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995 surveys utilized response categories from the 1990 educational attainment question that pro- duced data comparable to data on highest grade completed from earlier censuses. The response categories for persons who have attended college were modified from earlier cen- suses because there was some ambiguity in inter- preting responses in terms of the number of years of college completed. For instance, it was not clear whether “completed the fourth year of col- lege,” “completed the senior year of college,” and “college graduate” were synonymous. Research conducted shortly before the census suggests that these terms were more distinct in 1990 than in earlier decades, and this change may have threat- ened the ability to estimate the number of “col- lege graduates” from the number of persons re- ported as having completed the fourth or a higher year of college. It was even more difficult to make inferences about post-baccalaureate degrees and “Associate” degrees from highest year of col- lege completed. Therefore, comparisons of post- secondary educational attainment in the 2000 census and in the 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995 surveys to earlier censuses should be made with great caution. Definitions of Subject Characteristics A-5 In the 1960 and subsequent censuses, persons for whom educational attainment was not reported were assigned the same attainment level as a sim- ilar person whose residence was in the same or a nearby area. In the 1950 census, persons for whom educational attainment was not reported were not allocated. For the first time, data on where persons with technical training had received that training was sought in the 1995 survey by asking question- naire item P13b to all persons. Respondents were asked whether training was received “In a voca- tional education high school certification pro- gram,” “In a technical preparation program,” “On the job,” or “In a technical school/college.” This question was also asked in the 1997, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 surveys and the 2000 census. EMPLOYMENT STATUS The data on employment status were derived from answers to questionnaire items P20, P21, and P23-26, which were asked of all persons born before April 1, 1989. The series of questions on employment status was asked of all persons 16 years old and over and was designed to identify, in this sequence: (1) persons who worked at any time during the reference week; (2) persons who did not work during the reference week but who had jobs or businesses from which they were temporarily absent (excluding layoff); (3) persons on layoff; and (4) persons who did not work dur- ing the reference week, but who were looking for work during the last four weeks and were availa- ble for work during the reference week. (For more information, see the discussion under “Ref- erence Week.”) The employment status data shown in this and the 2003, 2002, 2001, and 1997 survey tabulations relate to persons 16 years old and over. Employed—All civilians 16 years old and over who were either (1) “at work”—those who did any work at all during the reference week as paid employees, worked in their own business or pro- fession, worked on their own farm, or worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers on a family farm or in a family business; or (2) were “with a job but not at work”—those who did not work during the reference week but had jobs or businesses from which they were temporarily absent due to illness, bad weather, industrial dispute, vacation, or other personal reasons. Excluded from the employed are persons whose only activity con- sisted of work around the house or unpaid volun- teer work for religious, charitable, and similar organizations; also excluded are persons on active duty in the United States Armed Forces. Unemployed—All civilians 16 years old and over are classified as unemployed if they (1) were neither “at work” nor “with a job but not at work” during the reference week, and (2) were looking for work during the last 4 weeks, and (3) were available to accept a job. Also included as unem- ployed are civilians who did not work at all dur- ing the reference week and were waiting to be called back to a job from which they had been laid off. Examples of job seeking activities are: • Registering at a public or private employment office • Meeting with prospective employers • Investigating possibilities for starting a pro- fessional practice or opening a business • Placing or answering advertisements • Writing letters of application • Being on a union or professional register Civilian Labor Force—Consists of persons classified as employed or unemployed in accor- dance with the criteria described above. Experienced Unemployed—These are unem- ployed persons who have worked at any time in the past. A-6 Definitions of Subject Characteristics Experienced Civilian Labor Force— Consists of the employed and the experienced unemployed. Labor Force—All persons classified in the civi- lian labor force plus members of the U.S. Armed Forces (persons on active duty with the United States Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard). Not in Labor Force—All persons 16 years old and over who are not classified as members of the labor force. This category consists mainly of stu- dents, housewives, retired workers, seasonal workers enumerated in an off season who were not looking for work, institutionalized persons, and persons doing only incidental unpaid family work (less than 15 hours during the reference week). Worker—This term appears in connection with several subjects: class of worker, weeks worked in the past 12 months, and number of workers in family. Its meaning varies and, therefore, should be determined in each case by referring to the de- finition of the subject in which it appears. Actual Hours Worked Last Week—All per- sons who reported working during the reference week were asked to report in questionnaire item 21 the number of hours that they worked. The statistics on hours worked pertain to the number of hours actually worked at all jobs, and do not necessarily reflect the number of hours typically or usually worked or the scheduled number of hours. The concept of “actual hours” differs from that of “usual hours” described below. The num- ber of persons who worked only a small number of hours is probably understated since such per- sons sometimes consider themselves as not work- ing. Respondents were asked to include overtime or extra hours worked, but to exclude lunch hours, sick leave, and vacation leave. Limitation of the Data—The census may un- derstate the number of employed persons because persons who have irregular, casual, or unstruc- tured jobs sometimes report themselves as not working. The number of employed persons “at work” is probably overstated in the census (and conversely, the number of employed “with a job, but not at work” is understated) since some per- sons on vacation or sick leave erroneously re- ported themselves as working. This problem has no effect on the total number of employed per- sons. The reference week for the employment data is not the same for all persons. Since per- sons can change their employment status from one week to another, the lack of a uniform refer- ence week may mean that the employment data do not reflect the reality of the employment situa- tion of any given week. (For more information, see the discussion under “Reference Week.”) Comparability—The questionnaire items and employment status concepts for the 2004 survey are essentially the same as those used in the 1970 to 2000 round censuses and the 1995, 1997, 2001, 2002 and 2003 surveys. Since employment data from the survey as well as the census are obtained from respondents in households, they differ from statistics based on reports from individual business establishments, farm enterprises, and certain government pro- grams. Persons employed at more than one job are counted only once in the survey or the census and are classified according to the job at which they worked the greatest number of hours during the reference week. In statistics based on reports from business and farm establishments, persons who work for more than one establishment may be counted more than once. Moreover, some ta- bulation may exclude private household workers, unpaid family workers, and self-employed per- sons. An additional difference in the data arises from the fact that persons who had a job but were not Definitions of Subject Characteristics A-7 at work are included with the employed in the census statistics, whereas many of these persons are likely to be excluded from employment fig- ures based on establishment payroll reports. Fur- thermore, the employment status data in census tabulations include persons on the basis of place of residence regardless of where they work, whe- reas establishment data report persons at their place of work regardless of where they live. This latter consideration is particularly significant when comparing data for workers who commute between areas. Like the census, the 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995 survey data on actual hours worked during the reference week may differ from data from other sources. The 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995 surveys and the cen- suses measure hours actually worked, whereas some other surveys measure hours paid for by employers. Comparability of census actual hours worked data may also be affected by the nature of the reference week (see “Reference Week”). For several reasons, the unemployment figures of the 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995 sur- veys and the Census Bureau may not be compa- rable with published figures on unemployment compensation claims. For example, figures on unemployment compensation claims may exclude persons who have exhausted their benefit rights, new workers who have not earned rights to un- employment insurance, and persons losing jobs not covered by unemployment insurance systems (including some workers in agriculture, domestic services, and religious organizations, and self- employed and unpaid family workers). In addi- tion, the qualifications for drawing unemploy- ment compensation may differ from the definition of unemployment used by the 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997 and 1995 surveys and the Census Bu- reau. Persons working only a few hours during the week and persons with a job but not at work are sometimes eligible for unemployment com- pensation but are classified as “Employed” in the census as well as the 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995 surveys. Differences in the geo- graphical distribution of unemployment data arise because the place where claims are filed may not necessarily be the same as the place of residence of the unemployed worker. HISPANIC ORIGIN The data on Latino/Hispanic origin were derived from answers to questionnaire item P7, which was asked of all persons. Persons of Hispanic origin are those who classified themselves in one of the specific Hispanic origin categories listed on the questionnaire—“Dominicano (Dominican Republic),” “Puerto Rican,” or “Cuban”—as well as those who indicated that they were of “other Latino/Hispanic” origin. Persons of “Other Lati- no/Hispanic” origin are those whose origins are from Spain, the Spanish-speaking countries of Central or South America, or they are persons of Hispanic origin identifying themselves generally as Spanish, Spanish-American, Hispanic, Latino and so on. Origin can be viewed as the ancestry, nationality group, lineage, or country of birth of the person or the person's parents or ancestors before their arrival in the United States Virgin Islands. Per- sons of Hispanic origin may be of any race. Tabulations are shown by the Hispanic origin of the householder. In all cases where households, families, or occupied housing units are classified by Hispanic origin, the Hispanic origin of the householder is used. (See the discussion of householder under “Household Type and Rela- tionship.”) During direct interviews conducted by enumera- tors, if a person could not provide a single origin response, he or she was asked to select, based on self-identification, the group which best described his or her origin or descent. If a person could not provide a single group, the origin of the person's A-8 Definitions of Subject Characteristics mother was used. If a single group could not be provided for the person's mother, the first origin reported by the person was used. If any household member failed to respond to the Latino/Hispanic origin question, a response was assigned by the computer according to the re- ported entries of other household members by using specific rules of precedence of household relationship. Comparability—This question was asked in the Virgin Islands for the first time in 1980. There were some differences from the 1980 to 1990 census in the format of the Hispanic origin ques- tion. For 1990, the word “descent” was deleted from the 1980 wording. In addition, the category “Dominican (Dominican Republic)” was added to the responses of “Puerto Rican,” “Cuban,” and “Other Latino/Hispanic origin.” The 1990 ques- tion allowed those who reported as “Other Span- ish/Hispanic” to write in their specific Hispanic origin group. These changes remained in the 1995 and 1997 surveys. In 2000, the category “Dominican (Dominican Republic)” was dropped while the category “Mexican, Mexican Am., Chi- cano” was added for the first time. For the 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 surveys the category “Mex- ican, Mexican Am., Chicano” was dropped and the category “Dominicano (Dominican Repub- lic)” was added. HOUSEHOLD TYPE AND RELATIONSHIP A household includes all the persons who occupy a housing unit. A housing unit is a house, an apartment, a mobile home, a houseboat, a group of rooms, or a single room that is occupied (or if vacant, is intended for occupancy) as separate living quarters. Separate living quarters are those in which the occupants live and eat separately from any other persons in the building and which have direct access from the outside of the build- ing or through a common hall. The occupants may be a single family, one person living alone, two or more families living together, or any other group of related or unrelated persons who share living arrangements. In 100-percent tabulations, the count of households or householders always equals the count of occupied housing units. Persons Per Household—A measure ob- tained by dividing the number of persons in households by the number of households (or householders). In cases where persons in house- holds are cross-classified by race or Hispanic ori- gin, persons in the household are classified by the race or Hispanic origin of the householder rather than the race or Hispanic origin of each individu- al. Relationship to Householder Householder—The data on relationship to householder were derived from answers to ques- tionnaire item P2, which was asked of all persons in housing units. One person in each household is designated as the householder. In most cases, this is the person, or one of the persons, in whose name the home is owned, being bought, or rented and who is listed on line 1 of the survey ques- tionnaire. If there is no such person in the house- hold, any adult household member 16 years old and over could be designated as the householder. Households are classified by type according to the sex of the householder and the presence of relatives. Two types of householders are distin- guished: a family householder and a nonfamily householder. A family householder is a house- holder living with one or more persons, related to him or her by birth, marriage, or adoption. The householder and all persons in the household re- lated to him or her are family members. A non- family householder is a householder living alone or with nonrelatives only. Spouse—Includes a person married to and liv- ing with a householder. This category includes persons in formal marriages, as well as persons Definitions of Subject Characteristics A-9 classified as “consensually married.” The number of spouses is equal to the number of “married- couple families” or “married-couple households” in 100-percent tabulations. Child—Includes a son or daughter by birth, a stepchild, or adopted child of the householder, regardless of the child's age or marital status. The category excludes sons-in-law, daughters-in-law, and foster children. Natural-born or Adopted Son/Daughter— A son or daughter of the householder by birth, regardless of the age of the child. Also, this category includes sons or daughters of the householder by legal adoption, regardless of the age of the child. If the step- son/stepdaughter of the householder has been legally adopted by the householder, the child is still classified as a stepchild. Stepson/Stepdaughter—A son or daughter of the householder through marriage but not by birth, regardless of the age of the child. If the stepson/stepdaughter of the householder has been legally adopted by the householder, the child is still classified as a stepchild. Own Child—A never-married child under 18 years who is a son or daughter by birth, step- child, or an adopted child of the householder. In certain tabulations, own children are fur- ther classified as living with two parents or with one parent only. Own children of the householder living with two parents are by definition found only in married-couple fami- lies. In a subfamily, an “own child” is a never- married child under 18 years of age who is a son, daughter, stepchild, or an adopted child of a mother in a mother-child subfamily, a fa- ther in a father-child subfamily, or either spouse in a married-couple subfamily. “Related children” in a family include own child- ren and all other persons under 18 years of age in the household, regardless of marital status, who are related to the householder, except the spouse of the householder. Foster children are not in- cluded since they are not related to the house- holder. Other Relatives—In tabulations, includes any household member related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption, but not included spe- cifically in another relationship category. In cer- tain detailed tabulations, the following categories may be shown: Grandchild—The grandson or granddaughter of the householder. Brother/Sister—The brother or sister of the Householder, including stepbrothers, stepsis- ters, and brothers and sisters by adoption. Brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law are in- cluded in the “Other relative” category on the questionnaire. Parent—The father or mother of the house- holder, including a stepparent or adoptive parent. Fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law are included in the “other relative” category on the questionnaire. In-law—This category includes brothers-in- law, sisters-in-law, mothers-in-law, sons-in- law, and daughters-in-law. Other Relatives—Anyone not listed in a re- ported category above who is related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption (brother-in-law, grandparent, nephew, aunt, mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, cousin, and so forth). Nonrelatives—Includes any household mem- ber, including foster children not related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption. The A-10 Definitions of Subject Characteristics following categories may be presented in more detailed tabulations: Roomer or Boarder—Roomer, boarder, or lodger who lives in a room in the household. Some sort of cash or noncash payment (for example chores) is usually made for their liv- ing accommodations. Housemate or Roommate—A person who is not related to the householder and who shares living quarters primarily in order to share expenses. Unmarried Partner—A person who is not re- lated to the householder, who shares living quarters, and who has a close personal rela- tionship with the householder. Persons in the household are classified by the race or His- panic origin of the householder rather than the race or Hispanic origin of each individual. Foster Child—A foster child of the house- holder. Foster children are people under the age 18 placed by the local government in a household to receive parental care. They may be living in the household for just a brief pe- riod or for several years. Foster children are nonrelatives of the householder. If the foster child is also related to the householder, the child should be classified as that specific rela- tive. Other Nonrelative—A person who is not re- lated by birth, marriage, or adoption to the householder and who is not described by the categories given above. When relationship is not reported for an individu- al, it is imputed according to the responses for age, sex, and marital status for that person while maintaining consistency with responses for other individuals in the household. (For more informa- tion on imputation, see Appendix B, Accuracy of the Data.) Unrelated Individual An unrelated individual is: (1) a householder liv- ing alone or with nonrelatives only, (2) a house- hold member who is not related to the household- er, or (3) a person living in group quarters who is not an inmate of an institution. Family Type A family consists of a householder and one or more other persons living in the same household who are related to the householder by birth, mar- riage, or adoption. All persons in a household who are related to the householder are regarded as members of his or her family. A household can contain only one family for purposes of cen- sus tabulations. Not all households contain fami- lies since a household may comprise a group of unrelated persons or one person living alone. Families are classified by type as either a “mar- ried-couple family” or “other family” according to the sex of the householder and the presence of relatives. The data on family type are based on answers to questions on sex and relationship, which were asked on a 100-percent basis. Married-Couple Family—A family in which the householder and his or her spouse are enumerated as members of the same house- hold. Other Family: Male Householder, No Wife Present—A family with a male householder and no spouse of householder present. Female Householder, No Husband Present—A family with a female household- er and no spouse of householder present. Definitions of Subject Characteristics A-11 Persons Per Family—A measure obtained by dividing the number of persons in families by the total number of families (or family householders). In cases where the measure, “persons in family” or “persons per family” are cross-tabulated by race or Hispanic origin, the race or Hispanic ori- gin refers to the householder rather than the race or Hispanic origin of each individual. Subfamily A subfamily is a married couple (husband and wife enumerated as members of the same house- hold) with or without never-married children un- der 18 years old, or one parent with one or more never-married children under 18 years old, living in a household and related to, but not including, either the householder or the householder's spouse. The number of subfamilies is not in- cluded in the count of families, since subfamily members are counted as part of the householder's family. Subfamilies are defined during the processing of the sample data. In selected tabulations, subfami- lies are further classified by type: married-couple subfamilies, with or without own children; moth- er-child subfamilies; and father-child subfamilies. Lone parents include people maintaining either one-parent families or one-parent subfamilies. Married couples include husbands and wives in both married-couple families and married-couple subfamilies. Unmarried-Partner Household An unmarried-partner household is a household other than a “married-couple household” that in- cludes a householder and an “unmarried partner.” An “unmarried partner” can be of the same sex or of the opposite sex of the householder. An “un- married partner” in an “unmarried partner house- hold” is an adult who is unrelated to the house- holder, but shares living quarters and has a close personal relationship with the householder. Unmarried-Couple Household An unmarried-couple household is composed of two unrelated adults of the opposite sex (one of whom is the householder) who share a housing unit with or without the presence of children un- der 15 years old. Stepfamily A stepfamily is a “married-couple family” with at least one stepchild of the householder present, where the householder is the husband. Comparability—In the 1990 census, the 1980 relationship category “Son/daughter” was re- placed by two categories, “Natural-born or adopted son/daughter” and “Step- son/stepdaughter.” “Grandchild” was added as a separate category. The 1980 nonrelative category “Roomer, boarder” was replaced with “Roomer, boarder, or foster child” and the category “Roommate” was replaced with “Housemate, roommate” and “Unmarried partner.” The 1980 nonrelative category “Paid employee” was dropped in 1990. The categories used in the 1995 and 1997 surveys were the same as those used in 1990. In the 2000 census the categories of “Par- ent-in-law” and “Son-in-law/daughter-in-law” were added as opposed to including them in the “Other relative” category. In addition, “Foster child” was listed separately rather than being in- cluded in the “Roomer, border, or foster child” category. For the 2001 survey, the single catego- ry of “Son/daughter” replaced the two categories of “Natural or adopted son/daughter” and “Step- son/stepdaughter” and the category “In-law” re- placed the two categories of “Parent-in-law” and “Son-in-law/daughter-in-law.” Other changes oc- curring from the 2000 census to 2001 survey in- cluded the addition of the category “Domestic worker/helper.” The 2002, 2003, and 2004 cate- gories were the same as those used in the 2001 survey. A-12 Definitions of Subject Characteristics INCOME IN 2003 The data on income in 2003 were derived from answers to questionnaire item P34. Information on money income received in the calendar year 2003 was requested from persons 16 years old and over. “Total income” is the sum of the amounts for wage or salary income; self- employment income; interest, dividend, or net rental or royalty income; Social Security or rail- road retirement income; public assistance or wel- fare payments; retirement or disability income; and all other income. “Earnings” is defined as the sum of wage or salary income and net income from farm and nonfarm self-employment. “Earn- ings” represent the amount of income received regularly before deductions for personal income taxes, Social Security, bond purchases, union dues, Medicare deductions, etc. Receipts from the following sources are not in- cluded as income: capital gains; money received from the sale of property (unless the recipient was engaged in the business of selling such property); the value of income “in kind” from food stamps, public housing subsidies, medical care, etc.; withdrawal of bank deposits; money borrowed; tax refunds; exchange of money between relatives living in the same household; gifts and lump-sum inheritances, insurance payments, and other types of lump-sum receipts. Income Type in 2003 The eight types of income reported in the census are defined as follows: Wage or Salary/Income—Includes total money earnings received for work performed as an employee during the calendar year 2003. It includes wages, salary, Armed Forces pay, commissions, tips, piece-rate payments, and cash bonuses earned before deductions were made for taxes, bonds, pensions, union dues, etc. Nonfarm Self-Employment Income— Includes net money income (gross receipts minus expenses) from one's own business, professional enterprise, or partnership. Gross receipts include the value of all goods sold and services rendered. Expenses include costs of goods purchased, rent, heat, light, power, depreciation charges, wages and sala- ries paid, business taxes (not personal income taxes), etc. Farm Self-Employment Income—Includes net money income (gross receipts minus op- erating expenses) from the operation of a farm by a person on his or her own account, as an owner, renter, or sharecropper. Gross receipts include the value of all products sold, gov- ernment farm programs, money received from the rental of farm equipment to others, and in- cidental receipts from the sale of wood, sand, gravel, etc. Operating expenses include cost of feed, fertilizer, seed, and other farming supplies, cash wages paid to farmlands, de- preciation charges, cash rent, interest on farm mortgages, farm building repairs, farm taxes (not local and Federal personal income taxes), etc. The value of fuel, food, or other farm products used for family living is not included as part of net income. Interest, Dividend, or Net Rental In- come—Includes interest on savings or bonds, dividends from stock-holdings or membership in associations, net income from rental of property to others and receipts from boarders or lodgers, net royalties, and periodic pay- ments from an estate or trust fund. Social Security Income—Includes Social Security pensions and survivors benefits and permanent disability insurance payments made by the Social Security Administration Definitions of Subject Characteristics A-13 prior to deductions for medical insurance, and railroad retirement insurance checks from the U.S. Government. Medicare reimbursements are not included. Public Assistance Income—Includes: (1) supplementary security income payments made by Federal or local welfare agencies to low-income persons who are aged (65 years old or over), blind, or disabled; (2) aid to fam- ilies with dependent children; and (3) general assistance. Separate payments received for hospital or other medical care (vendor pay- ments) are excluded from this item. Retirement or Disability Income—Includes: (1) retirement pensions and survivor benefits from a former employer, labor union, or Fed- eral, local, or other governmental agency; (2) disability income from sources such as work- er's compensation; companies or unions; Fed- eral or local government; and the U.S. mili- tary; (3) periodic receipts from annuities and insurance; and (4) regular income from IRA and KEOGH plans. All Other Income—Includes unemployment compensation, Veterans Administration (VA) payments, alimony and child support, contri- butions received periodically from persons not living in the household, military family al- lotments, net gambling winnings, and other kinds of periodic income other than earnings. Income of Households—Includes the income of the householder and all other persons 16 years old and over in the household, whether related to the householder or not. Because many house- holds consist of only one person, average house- hold income is usually less than average family income. Income of Families and Persons—In com- piling statistics on family income, the incomes of all members 16 years old and over in each family are summed and treated as a single amount. Indi- vidual income, which includes persons 16 years old and over, is based on the person’s reported total income. Although the income statistics cov- ered the calendar year 2003, the characteristics of persons and the composition of families refer to the time of enumeration (April 1, 2004). Thus, the income of the family does not include amounts received by persons who were members of the family during all or part of the calendar year 2003 if these persons no longer resided with the family at the time of enumeration. Yet, fami- ly income amounts reported by related persons who did not reside with the family during 2003 but who were members of the family at the time of enumeration are included. However, the com- position of most families was the same during 2003 as in April 2004. Median Income—The median divides the in- come distribution into two equal parts, one hav- ing incomes above the median and the other hav- ing incomes below the median. For households and families, the median income is based on the distribution of the total number of units including those with no income. The median for persons is based on persons with income. The median in- come values for all households, families, and per- sons are computed on the basis of more detailed income intervals than shown in most tabulation. Median income figures are calculated using linear interpolation. Mean Income—This is the amount obtained by dividing the total income of a particular statistical universe by the number of units in that universe. Thus, mean household income is obtained by di- viding total household income by the total num- ber of households. For the various types of in- come the means are based on households having those types of income. Care should be exercised in using and interpret- ing mean income values for small subgroups of the population. Because the mean is influenced A-14 Definitions of Subject Characteristics strongly by extreme values in the distribution, it is especially susceptible to the effects of sampling variability, misreporting, and processing errors. The median, which is not affected by extreme values, is, therefore, a better measure than the mean when the population base is small. The mean, nevertheless, is shown in some data prod- ucts for most small subgroups because, when weighted according to the number of cases, the means can be added to obtained summary meas- ures for areas and groups other than those shown in census tabulations. Per capita income—This is the mean income computed for every man, woman, and child in a particular group. It is derived by dividing the to- tal income of a particular group by the total popu- lation in that group. Limitation of the Data—Since questionnaire entries for income frequently are based on memo- ry and not on records, many persons tended to forget minor or irregular sources of income and, therefore, underreport their income. Underreport- ing tends to be more pronounced for income sources that are not derived from earnings, such as Social Security, public assistance, or from in- terest, dividends, and net rental income. Extensive computer editing procedures were in- stituted in the data processing operation to reduce some of these reporting errors and to improve the accuracy of the income data. These procedures corrected various reporting deficiencies and im- proved the consistency of reported income items associated with work experience and information on occupation and class of worker. Another type of problem involved nonreporting of income data. Where income information was not reported, pro- cedures were devised to impute appropriate val- ues. (For more information on imputation, see Appendix B, Accuracy of the Data.) In income tabulations for households and fami- lies, the lowest income group (e.g., less than $2,500) includes units that were classified as hav- ing no 2003 income. Many of these were living on income “in kind,” savings, or gifts, were new- ly created families, or were families in which the sole breadwinner had recently died or left the household. However, many of the households and families who reported no income probably had some money income, which was not recorded in the census. The income data presented in the tabulations cov- ers money income only. The fact that many farm families receive an important part of their income in the form of “free” housing and goods produced and consumed on the farm rather than in money should be taken into consideration in comparing the income of farm and nonfarm residents. Non- money income, such as business expense ac- counts, use of business transportation and facili- ties, or partial compensation by business for med- ical and educational expenses, was also received by some nonfarm residents. Many low-income families also receive income “in kind” from pub- lic welfare programs. In comparing income data for 2003 with earlier years, it should be noted that an increase or decrease in money income does not necessarily represent a comparable change in real income, unless adjustments for changes in prices are made. Comparability— Users should exercise care when comparing income figures across the vari- ous censuses and surveys. The 2000 census dif- fers from the 1990 census and the 1995, 1997, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 surveys in that res- pondents reported their income for the “Past 12 months.” The 1990 census and the surveys, on the otherhand, asked respondents to report in- come for the past calendar year. Another differ- ence that impacts the comparability of the census to the surveys is that the censuses include income information on those persons residing in group quarters while these individuals are not included in the surveys. Definitions of Subject Characteristics A-15 The 2001, 2002, and 2003 surveys had two addi- tional differences from the 1990, 2000, and 2004 censuses. In the 1990 and 2000 censuses and the 2004 survey, there were eight detailed type of income questions asked to derive a person’s total income. The 1995 and 1997 surveys also asked a similar set of eight questions. In contrast, the 2001, 2002, and 2003 surveys used just one ques- tion to obtain total income. In addition, the 1990 and 2000 censuses, as well as the 1995, 1997 and 2004 surveys, obtained income information from individuals 15 years and over, while only those 16 years and over responded to the income ques- tion in the 2001, 2002, and 2003 surveys. Also, the income data shown in survey tabula- tions are not directly comparable with those that may be obtained from statistical summaries of income tax returns. Income, as defined for feder- al tax purposes, differs somewhat from the Cen- sus Bureau concept. Moreover, the coverage of income tax statistics is different because of the exemptions for people having small amounts of income and the inclusion of net capital gains in tax returns. Further, members of some families file separate returns and others file joint returns; consequently, the tax reporting unit is not consis- tent with the census household, family, or person units. The Commerce Department’s Bureau of Econom- ic Analysis (BEA) publishes annual data on ag- gregate and per-capita personal income received by the population for states, metropolitan areas, and selected counties. Aggregate income esti- mates based on the income statistics shown in survey products usually would be less than those shown in the BEA income series for several rea- sons. The survey data are obtained from a house- hold survey, whereas the BEA income series is estimated largely on the basis of data from ad- ministrative records of business and governmen- tal sources. Moreover, the definitions of income are different. The BEA income series includes some items not included in the income data shown in survey publications, such as income “in kind,” income received by nonprofit institutions, the value of services of banks and other financial intermediaries rendered to people without the as- sessment of specific charges, and Medicare pay- ments. On the other hand, the survey income data include contributions for support received from people not residing in the same household if the income is received on a regular basis. In comparing income for the most recent year with income from earlier years, users should note that an increase or decrease in money income does not necessarily represent a comparable change in real income, unless adjusted for infla- tion. In the censuses and the 1995, 1997 and 2004 sur- veys, all persons with missing values in one or more of the detailed type of income items and total income were designated as allocated. This was also the case with the total income question for the 2001, 2002, and 2003 surveys. For both the censuses and 1995, 1997 and 2004 surveys, each missing entry was imputed either as a “no” or as a dollar amount. If total income was re- ported and one or more of the type of income fields was not answered, then the entry in total income generally was assigned to one of the in- come types according to the socioeconomic cha- racteristics of the income recipient. This person was designated as unallocated. In the surveys, as in the censuses, all non- respondents with income not reported (whether heads of households or other persons) were as- signed the reported income of persons with simi- lar characteristics. (For more information on im- putation, see Appendix B, “Accuracy of the Da- ta.”) INDUSTRY, OCCUPATION, AND CLASS OF WORKER A-16 Definitions of Subject Characteristics The data on industry, occupation, and class of worker were derived from answers to question- naire items P29 to P33. These questions were asked of all people over 15 years old who had worked in the past 5 years. Information on indus- try relates to the kind of business conducted by a person's employing organization; occupation de- scribes the kind of work the person does on the job. For employed persons, the data refer to the per- son's job during the reference week. For those who worked at two or more jobs, the data refer to the job at which the person worked the greatest number of hours. For unemployed persons, the data refer to their last job. The industry and oc- cupation statistics are derived from the detailed classification systems developed for the 1990 census as described below. The Classified In- dex of Industries and Occupations provided additional information on the industry and occu- pation classification systems. Respondents provided the data for the tabulations by writing on the questionnaires descriptions of their industry and occupation. Survey editors converted the written questionnaire descriptions to code by comparing these descriptions to entries in the Alphabetical Index of Industries and Occu- pations. Industry The industry classification system used in the 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995 surveys was developed for the 1990 census and consists of 236 categories for employed persons, classified into 13 major industry groups. Since 1940, the industrial classification has been based on the Standard Industrial Classification Manual (SIC). The 1990 census classification was developed from the 1987 SIC published by the Office of Management and Budget, Executive Office of the President. The SIC was designed primarily to classify estab- lishment by the type of industrial activity in which they were engaged. However, census data, which were collected from households, differ in detail and nature from those obtained from estab- lishment surveys. Therefore, the census classifi- cation systems, while defined in SIC terms, can- not reflect the full detail in all categories. There are several levels of industrial classification found in census products. Occupation The occupational classification system developed for the 1990 census and used in the 1995, 1997, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 surveys consists of 500 specific occupational categories for em- ployed persons arranged into 6 summary and 13 major occupational groups. This classification was developed to be consistent with the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) Manual: 1980, published by the Office of Federal Statistical Pol- icy and Standards, U.S. Department of Com- merce. Tabulations with occupation as the prima- ry characteristic present several levels of occupa- tional detail. The most detailed tabulations were shown in special 1990 tape files on occupation. This product contains all 501 occupational cate- gories. Some occupation groups are related closely to certain industries. Operators of transportation equipment, farm operators and workers, and pri- vate household workers account for major por- tions of their respective industries of transporta- tion, agriculture, and private households. How- ever, the industry categories include persons in other occupations. For example, persons em- ployed in agriculture include truck drivers and bookkeepers; persons employed in the transporta- tion industry include mechanics, freight handlers, and payroll clerks; and persons employed in the private household industry include occupations such as chauffeur, gardener, and secretary. Definitions of Subject Characteristics A-17 Class of Worker The data on class of worker were derived from answers to questionnaire item P29. The informa- tion on class of worker refers to the same job as a respondent's industry and occupation and catego- rizes persons according to the type of ownership of the employing organization. The class of worker categories are defined as follows: Private Wage and Salary Workers— Includes persons who worked for wages, salary, commission, tips, pay-in-kind, or piece rates for a private for profit employer or a private not-for- profit, tax-exempt, or charitable organization. Self-employed persons whose business was in- corporated are included with private wage and salary workers because they are paid employees of their own companies. Some tabulations present data separately for these sub-categories: “For profit,” “Not for profit,” and “Own business incorporated.” Government Workers—Includes persons who were employees of any local, or Federal govern- mental unit, regardless of the activity of the par- ticular agency. For some tabulations, the data were presented separately for the two levels of government. Self-Employed Workers—Includes persons who worked for profit or fees in their own unin- corporated business, profession, or trade, or who operated a farm. Unpaid Family Workers—Includes persons who worked 15 hours or more without pay in a business or on a farm operated by a relative. Salaried/Self-employed—In tabulations that categorize persons as either salaried or self- employed, the salaried category includes private and government wage and salary workers; self- employed includes self-employed persons and unpaid family workers. The industry category, “Public administration,” is limited to regular government functions such as legislative, judicial, administrative, and regulato- ry activities of governments. Other government organizations such as schools, hospitals, liquor stores, and bus lines are classified by industry according to the activity in which they are en- gaged. On the other hand, the class of worker government categories includes all government workers. Occasionally respondents supplied industry occu- pation, or class of worker descriptions, which are sufficiently specific for precise classification or did not report on these items at all. Some of these cases were corrected through the field editing process and during the coding and tabulation op- erations. In the coding operations, certain types of incomplete entries were corrected using the Alphabetical Index of Industries and Occupa- tions. For example, it was possible in certain sit- uations to assign an industry code based on the occupation reported. Following the coding operations, there was a computer edit and an allocation process. The edit first determined whether a respondent was in the universe, which required an industry and occupa- tion code. The codes for the three items (indus- try, occupation, and class of worker) were checked to ensure they were valid and were edited for their relation to each other. Invalid and inconsistent codes were either blanked or changed to a consistent code. If one or more of the three codes were blank after the edit, a code was assigned from a “similar” person based on other items such as age, sex, education, farm or nonfarm residence, and weeks worked. If all the labor force and income data also were blank, all these economic items were assigned from one other person who provided all the necessary data. A-18 Definitions of Subject Characteristics Comparability—Comparability of industry and occupation data was affected by a number of fac- tors, primarily the systems used to classify the questionnaire responses. For both the industry and occupation classification systems, the basic structures were generally the same from 1940 to 1970, but changes in the individual categories limited comparability of the data from one census to another. These changes were needed to recog- nize the “birth” of new industries and occupa- tions, the “death” of others, and the growth and decline in existing industries and occupations, as well as, the desire of analysts and other users for more detail in the presentation of the data. Prob- ably the greatest cause of incomparability is the movement of a segment of a category to a differ- ent category in the next census. Changes in the nature of jobs and respondent terminology, and refinement of category composition made these movements necessary. In the 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995 surveys, as in the 2000 and 1990 censuses, the industry classification had minor revisions to re- flect changes to the SIC. The 2004 occupational classification system is essentially the same as that for the 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995 surveys and the 1980, 1990, and 2000 censuses. However, the conversion of the census classifica- tion to the SOC in 1980 meant that the classifica- tion systems of the 2000 and 1990 censuses and the 1995, 1997, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 sur- veys were less comparable to the classifications used prior to the 1980 census. Other factors that affected data comparability in- cluded the universe to which the data referred (in 1970, the age cutoff for labor force was changed from 14 years to 16 years); how the industry and occupation questions were worded on the ques- tionnaire (for example, important changes were made in 1970); improvements in the coding pro- cedures (the Employer Name List technique was introduced in 1960); and how the “not reported” cases were handled. Prior to 1970, they were placed in the residual categories, “Industry not reported” and “Occupation not reported.” In 1970, an allocation process was introduced that assigned these cases to major groups. In the 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995 surveys, as in 1980, 1990, and 2000 censuses, the “Not reported” cases were assigned to individual cate- gories. Therefore, the 1980, 1990, and 2000 cen- suses as well as the 1995, 1997, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 data for individual categories in- cluded some numbers of persons who were tabu- lated in a “Not reported” category in previous censuses. The following publications contain information on the various factors affecting comparability and are particularly useful for understanding differ- ences in the occupation and industry information from earlier censuses: U.S. Bureau of the Cen- sus, Changes Between the 1950 and 1960 Occupation and Industry Classifications with Detailed Adjustments of 1950 Data to the 1960 Classifications, Technical Paper No. 18, 1968; U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1970 Occupation and Industry Classification Sys- tems in Terms of their 1960 Occupation and Industry Elements, Technical Paper No. 26, 1972; and U.S. Bureau of the Census, The Rela- tionship Between the 1970 and 1980 Industry and Occupation Classification Systems, Technical Paper No. 59, 1988. For citations for earlier census years, see the 1980 Census of Pop- ulation report, PC801-D, Detailed Population Characteristics. As in the 1990 census, the 1995 survey added a new class of worker category for “private not-for- profit” employers. This category is a subset of the 1980 category “employee of private employ- er.” Also in 1995, as in 1990, employees of for- eign governments, the United Nations, etc., are classified as “private not-for-profit,” rather than Federal Government as in 1970 and 1980. While in theory, there was a change in comparability, in practice, the small number of U.S. residents working for foreign governments made this Definitions of Subject Characteristics A-19 change negligible. In the 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, and 1997 surveys these categories were eliminat- ed. Comparability between the statistics on industry and occupation from the 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995 surveys, and 2000 and 1990 cen- suses, and statistics from other sources is affected by many of the factors described in the section on “Employment Status.” These factors are primari- ly geographic differences between residence and place of work, different dates of reference, and differences in counts because of dual job holding. Industry data from population censuses cover all industries and all kinds of workers, whereas, data from establishments often excluded private household workers, government workers, and the self-employed. Also, the replies from household respondents may have differed in detail and na- ture from those obtained from establishments. Occupation data from the census and the 1995 survey and data from government licensing agen- cies, professional associations, trade unions, etc., may not be as comparable as expected. Organiza- tional listings often include persons not in the la- bor force or persons devoting all or most of their time to another occupation; or the same person may be included in two or more different listings. In addition, relatively few organizations, except for those requiring licensing, attained complete coverage of membership in a particular occupa- tional field. LANGUAGE SPOKEN AT HOME AND ABILITY TO SPEAK ENGLISH Language Spoken at Home—Data on lan- guage spoken at home were derived from answers to questionnaire items P14a and P14b. Data were edited to include in tabulations only the popula- tion 5 years old and over. Questions P14a and P14b referred to languages spoken at home in an effort to measure the current use of languages other than English. People who knew languages other than English but did not use them at home or who only used them elsewhere were excluded. Most people who reported speaking a language other than English at home also speak English. The questions did not permit determination of the primary or dominant language of people who spoke both English and another language. (For more information, see discussion below on ‘‘Ability to Speak English.’’) The respondent was asked to mark ‘‘Yes’’ in question P14a if the per- son sometimes or always spoke a language other than English at home. People who spoke only English at home were instructed to answer ‘‘No’’ and to skip the remaining language questions. For people who indicated that they spoke a language other than English at home in question P14a, but failed to specify the name of the language in question P14b, the language was assigned based on the language of other speakers in the house- hold, on the language of a person of the same Spanish origin or detailed race group. People for whom a language other than English was entered in question P14b, and for whom question P14a was blank were assumed to speak that other lan- guage at home. The responses to question P14b (specific language spoken) were written in on the questionnaire and later given a three-digit code using a detailed list of languages which distin- guished more than 380 languages or language groups in a separate clerical coding operation. The same list was used for the 1980 to 2000 cen- suses. If the respondent listed more than one non- English language, only the first was coded. Household language—In households where one or more people (5 years old and over) speak a language other than English, the household lan- guage assigned to all household members is the non-English language spoken by the first person with a non-English language in the following or- der: householder, spouse, parent, sibling, child, grandchild, in-laws, other relatives, stepchild, unmarried partner, housemate or roommate, and other non-relatives. Thus, a person who speaks only English may have a non-English household A-20 Definitions of Subject Characteristics language assigned to him/her in tabulations of individuals by household language. Limitation of the data—Some people who speak a language other than English at home may have first learned that language at school. How- ever, these people would be expected to indicate that they spoke English ‘‘Very well.’’ People who speak a language other than English, but do not do so at home, should have been reported as not speaking a language other than English at home. The extreme detail in which language names were coded may give a false impression of the linguistic precision of these data. The names used by speakers of a language to identify it may reflect ethnic, geographic, or political affiliations and do not necessarily respect linguistic distinc- tions. The categories shown in the tabulations were chosen on a number of criteria, such as in- formation about the number of speakers of each language that might be expected in the Virgin Isl- ands. Comparability—The language questions are comparable to those asked in the 2000 and 1990 censuses. The language categories shown in the tabulations are slightly different from earlier cen- suses. Ability to Speak English—Data on ability to speak English were derived from the answers to questionnaire item P14c. Respondents who re- ported that they spoke a language other than Eng- lish in questionnaire item P14a were asked to in- dicate their ability to speak English in one of the following categories: ‘‘Very well,’’ ‘‘Well,’’ ‘‘Not well,’’ or ‘‘Not at all.’’ The data on ability to speak English represent the person’s own perception about his or her own ability or, because census questionnaires are usually completed by one household member, the responses may represent the perception of another household member. Respondents were not in- structed on how to interpret the response catego- ries in question P14c. People who reported that they spoke a language other than English at home, but whose ability to speak English was not reported, were assigned the English-language ability of a randomly selected person of the same age, Hispanic origin, nativity and year of entry, and language group. Comparability—The current question on ability to speak English was asked for the first time in 1980. In tabulations from 1980, the categories ‘‘Very well’’ and ‘‘Well’’ were combined. Data from other surveys suggested a major difference between the category ‘‘Very well’’ and the re- maining categories. In some tabulations showing ability to speak English, people who reported that they spoke English ‘‘Very well’’ are presented separately from people who reported their ability to speak English as less than ‘‘Very well.’’ MARITAL STATUS The data on marital status were derived from an- swers to questionnaire item 6, which was asked of all persons. The marital status classification re- fers to the status at the time of enumeration. Data on marital status are tabulated only for persons 15 years old and over. All persons were asked whether they were “now married,” “widowed,” “divorced,” “separated,” or “never married.” Couples who live together (unmarried persons, persons consensually mar- ried) were allowed to report the marital status they considered the most appropriate. Never Married—Includes all persons who have never been married, including persons whose on- ly marriage(s) was annulled. Ever Married—Includes persons married at the time of enumeration (including those separated), widowed, or divorced. Now Married, Except Separated—includes persons whose current marriage has not ended through widowhood, divorce, or separation (re- Definitions of Subject Characteristics A-21 gardless of previous marital history). The catego- ry may also include couples who live together or persons in common-law marriages, if they con- sider this category the most appropriate. In cer- tain tabulations, currently married persons are further classified as “spouse present” or “spouse absent.” In selected tabulations, data for married and separated persons are reorganized and com- bined with information on the presence of the spouse in the same household. Consensually Married—Includes persons living in a marital union without a civil or re- ligious matrimonial contract and are classified as “now married.” They are reported sepa- rately as “consensually married.” The catego- ry may also include couples who live together if they consider this category the most appro- priate. Separated—Includes persons legally separated or otherwise absent from their spouse because of marital discord. Included are persons who have been deserted or who have parted because they no longer want to live together but who have not ob- tained a divorce. Widowed—Includes widows and widowers who have not remarried. Divorced—Includes persons who are legally divorced and who have not remarried. Now Married—All persons whose current mar- riage has not ended by widowhood or divorce. This category includes persons defined above as “separated.” Spouse Present—Married persons whose wife or husband was enumerated as a member of the same household, including those whose spouse may have been temporarily absent for such reasons as travel or hospitalization. Spouse Absent—Married persons whose wife or husband was not enumerated as a member of the same household. This catego- ry also includes all married persons living in group quarters. Separated—Defined above. Spouse Absent, Other—Married persons whose wife or husband was not enumerated as a member of the same household, excluding separated. Included is any person whose spouse was employed and living away from home or in an institution or absent in the U.S. Armed Forces. Differences between the number of currently married males and the number of currently mar- ried females occur because of reporting differ- ences and because some husbands and wives have their usual residence in different areas. When marital status was not reported, it was im- puted according to the relationship to the house- holder and sex and age of the person. (For more information on imputation, see Appendix B, Ac- curacy of the Data.) Comparability—The marital status definitions for the 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995 surveys are the same as those used in the 2000 and 1990 censuses, and these reflected the 1980 census with the exception of the term “never mar- ried” which replaced the 1980 term “single” in tabulations. A general marital status question has been asked in every census since 1980. MILITARY BENEFITS Military benefits include money received regular- ly from retirement or disability pensions paid by the U.S. military or the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to former members of the Armed Forces or their survivors. U.S. military retire- ment income is received by retired military per- A-22 Definitions of Subject Characteristics sonnel who served for 20 years or more in the Armed Forces. Corresponding military retirement disability income is received by veterans with 20 or more years of service before retiring due to a disability or other serious health condition. U.S. Military survivor pensions are received by survi- vors of military personnel who retired before their death. The VA benefits include (1) disability payments received by veterans with a service- connected disability or by low-income veterans with a nonservice-connected disability and (2) pensions received by survivors of veterans whose death occurred while in military service. Comparability—The 1990 census was the first time that a question on military benefits was in- cluded in the census; the questionnaire item in the 1997 and 1995 surveys and the 2000 census re- ported similar data. The 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 surveys did not provide a separate question on the amount of income received from military benefits. MOBILITY LIMITATION STATUS The data on mobility limitation status were de- rived from answers to questionnaire item P18, which were asked of all persons. This question was asked for the first time in the 1990 census. Persons were identified as having a mobility limitation if they had a health condition that had lasted for 6 or more months and which made it difficult to go outside the home alone. Examples of outside activities on the questionnaire included shopping and visiting the doctor’s office. The term “health condition” referred to both physical and mental conditions. A temporary health problem, such as a broken bone that was expected to heal normally, was not considered a health condition. Comparability—The 2004 survey questionnaire item was similar to the question asked in the 1990 and 2000 censuses and the 1995, 1997, 2001, 2002, and 2003 surveys, which reported data on mobility limitation. PLACE OF BIRTH AND PARENTS' PLACE OF BIRTH The data on place of birth were derived from an- swers to questionnaire item P8. Mother’s place of birth and father’s place of birth were derived from answers to questionnaire items P11a and P11b, respectively. Each place of birth question asked for the name of the island in the U.S. Vir- gin Islands, the U.S. State, or the foreign country where the person or the person's parents were born according to current international bounda- ries. Since numerous changes in boundaries of foreign countries have occurred in the last cen- tury, some persons may have reported their place of birth or their parents' place of birth in terms of boundaries that existed at the time of the birth of emigration, or in accordance with their own na- tional preference. Persons not reporting place of birth were assigned the birthplace of another family member or were allocated the response of another person or parent with similar characteristics. Persons allocated as born outside the area of current residence were not allocated a specific foreign country of birth, but were classified as “Born abroad, country or area not specified.” The places of birth shown in the report were selected based on the number of respondents who chose to report that area or country of birth. Comparability—Similar data were shown in tabulations for the 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995 surveys as for the 2000, 1990, and 1980 censuses. However, nonresponse was not allo- cated. Instead, such persons were shown sepa- rately in the tables under “Place of birth not re- ported.” POVERTY STATUS IN 2003 The data on poverty status were derived from an- swers to the same questions as the income data, questionnaire item P34. (For more information see the discussion under “Income in 2003.”) Po- verty statistics presented in 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995 surveys and census publi- cations were based on a definition originated by the Social Security Administration in 1964 and subsequently modified by Federal interagency committees in 1969 and 1980. These poverty sta- tistics were prescribed by the Office of Manage- ment and Budget in Directive 14 as the standard to be used by Federal agencies for statistical pur- poses. Definitions of Subject Characteristics A-23 At the core of this definition was the 1961 econ- omy food plan, the least costly of four nutritional- ly adequate food plans designed by the Depart- ment of Agriculture. It was determined from the Agriculture Department's 1955 survey of food consumption that families of three or more per- sons spend approximately one-third of their in- come on food; hence, the poverty level for these families was set at three times the cost of the economy food plan. For smaller families and persons living alone, the cost of the economy food plan was multiplied by factors that were slightly higher to compensate for the relatively larger fixed expenses for these smaller house- holds.

S. Bureau of the Census, Current Population Survey The income cutoffs used by the Census Bureau to determine the poverty status of families and unre- lated individuals included a set of 48 thresholds arranged in a two-dimensional matrix consisting of family size (from 1 person to 9 or more per- sons) cross-classified by presence and number of family members under 18 years old (from no children present to 8 or more children present). Unrelated individuals and two-person families A-24 Definitions of Subject Characteristics were further differentiated by age of the house- holder (under 65 year old and 65 years old and over). The total income of each family or unrelated in- dividual in the sample was tested against the ap- propriate poverty threshold to determine the po- verty status of that family or unrelated individual. If the total income was less than the correspond- ing cutoff, the family or unrelated individual was classified as “Below the poverty level.” The number of persons below the poverty level was the sum of the number of persons in families with incomes below the poverty level and the number of unrelated individuals with incomes below the poverty level. The poverty thresholds are revised annually to allow for changes in the cost of living as reflected in the Consumer Price Index. The average pover- ty threshold for a family of four persons was $12,674 in 1989 and $15,141 in 1994. (For in- formation on the 2003 poverty thresholds, see Table A.) Poverty thresholds were applied on a national basis for the U.S. and were not adjusted for regional, State or local variations in the cost of living. Therefore, the thresholds used for the Virgin Islands are the same as those used in the United States. For a detailed discussion of the poverty definition, see U.S. Bureau of the Census, Current Population Reports, Series P-60, No. 210, Poverty in the United States: 1999. Persons for Whom Poverty Status is De- termined—Poverty status was determined for all persons except institutionalized persons, persons in military group quarters and in college dormito- ries, and unrelated individuals under 15 years old. These groups also were excluded from the deno- minator when calculating poverty rates. Specified Poverty Levels—Since the poverty levels currently in use by the Federal Government do not meet all the needs of data users, some of the data are presented for alternate levels. These specified poverty levels are obtained by multiply- ing the income cutoffs at the poverty level by the appropriate factor. For example, the average in- come cutoff at 125 percent of poverty level was $18,926 ($l5, 141 x 1.25) in 1994 for a family of four persons. Weighted Average Thresholds at the Po- verty Level—The average thresholds shown in the first column of Table A are weighted by the presence and number of children. For example, the weighted average threshold for a given family size is obtained by multiplying the threshold for each presence and number of children category within the given family size by the number of families in that category. These products are then aggregated across the entire range of presence and number of children categories, and the aggre- gate is divided by the total number of families in the group to yield the weighted average threshold at the poverty level for that family size. Since the basic thresholds used to determine the poverty status of families and unrelated individu- als are applied to all families and unrelated indi- viduals, the weighted average poverty thresholds are derived using all families and unrelated indi- viduals rather than just those classified as being below the poverty level. Income Deficit—Represents the difference be- tween the total income of families and unrelated individuals below the poverty level and their re- spective poverty thresholds. In computing the income deficit, families reporting a net income loss are assigned zero dollars and for such cases the deficit is equal to the poverty threshold. This measure provided an estimate of the amount that would be required to raise the incomes of all poor families and unrelated individuals to their respec- tive poverty thresholds. The income deficit is thus a measure of the degree of impoverishment of a family or unrelated individual. However, caution must be used in comparing the average deficits of families with different characteristics. Apparent differences in average income deficits Definitions of Subject Characteristics A-25 may, to some extent, be a function of differences in family size. Mean Income Deficit—Represents the amount obtained by dividing the total income deficit of a group below the poverty level by the number of families (or unrelated individuals) in that group. Comparability—The poverty definition used in the 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995 sur- veys was the same as that used in the 2000, 1990 and 1980 censuses. For a complete discussion of these modifications and their impact, see the Cur- rent Population Reports, Series P-60, No. 210, Poverty in the United States: 1999. The population covered in the poverty statistics derived from the 1980 and 1990 censuses was essentially the same as in the 1970 census. The only difference was that in 1980 and 1990, unre- lated individuals under 15 years old were ex- cluded from the poverty universe, while in 1970, only those under 14 years old were excluded. The poverty data from the 1960 census excluded all person’s in group quarters and included all unrelated individuals regardless of age. It was unlikely that these differences in population cov- erage would have had significant impact when comparing the poverty data for persons since the 1960 census. RACE The data on race were derived from answers to questionnaire item P4, which was asked of all persons. The concept of race as used by the Cen- sus Bureau reflects self-identification; it does not denote any clear-cut scientific definition of bio- logical stock. The data for race represent self- classification by people according to the race with which they most closely identify. Further- more, it is recognized that the categories of the race item include both racial and national origin or socio-cultural groups. During direct interviews conducted by enumera- tors, if a person could not provide a single re- sponse to the race question, he or she was asked to select, based on self-identification, the group which best described his or her racial identity. If a person could not provide a single race response, the race of the mother was used. If a single race response could not be provided for the person's mother, the first race reported by the person was used. In all cases where occupied housing units, households, or families are classified by race, the race of the householder was used. The racial classification used by the Census Bu- reau generally adheres to the guidelines in Feder- al Statistical Directive No. 15, issued by the Of- fice of Management and Budget, which provides standards on ethnic and racial categories for sta- tistical reporting to be used by all Federal agen- cies. The racial categories used in the 2004 sur- vey are provided below. Black—A person having origins in any of the Black racial groups of Africa. Includes persons who indicated their race as “Black or Negro” or reported entries such as West Indian, Jamaican, Haitian, Black Puerto Rican, African American, or American. White—A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. Includes persons who indicated their race as “White” or reported entries such as French, Irish, German, Italian, Lebanese, Near Easterner, Arab, or Polish. Asian—Includes persons who indicated their race as “Asian” or reported entries such as Arab, Indian, or Chinese. Pacific Islander—Includes persons who indi- cated their race as “Pacific Islander” or reported entries such as Filipinos, Japanese, Hawaiian, Samoan, or Guamanian. A-26 Definitions of Subject Characteristics American Indian or Alaska Native—A per- son having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South American (including Central America) and who maintain tribal affiliation or community attachment. Includes persons who classified themselves as such in one of the specif- ic race categories identified below. American Indian—Includes persons who in- dicated their race as “American Indian,” en- tered the name of an Indian tribe, or reported such entries as Canadian Indian, French- American Indian, or Spanish-American In- dian. Alaska Native—This category includes writ- ten responses of Eskimos, Aleuts, and Alaska Indians as well as entries such as Artic Slope, Inupiat, Yupik, Alutiiq, Egegik, and Pribilo- vian. The Alaska tribes are the Alaskan Athabascan, Tlingit, and Haida. The informa- tion for Census 2000 is based on the Ameri- can Indian Tribal Classification List for the 1990 census, which was expanded to list the individual Alaska Native Villages when pro- vided as a written response for race. Other Race—Includes all other persons not in- cluded in the “Black,” “White,” “Asian,” “Pacific Islander,” or the “American Indian or Alaska Na- tive” race categories described above. If the race entry for a member of a household was missing on the questionnaire, race was assigned based upon the reported entries of race by other household members using specific rules of prece- dence of household relationship. For example, if race were missing for the daughter of the house- holder, then the race of her mother (as female householder or female spouse) would be as- signed. If there were no female householder or spouse in the household, the daughter would be assigned her father's (male householder) race. If race was not reported for anyone in the house- hold, the race of a householder in a previously processed household was assigned. This proce- dure is a variation of the general imputation pro- cedures described in Appendix C, Accuracy of the Data. Limitation of the Data—In the 2000 and 1990 censuses, respondents sometimes did not fill in a check box or filled the “Other race” check box and wrote in a response, such as West Indian, in this write-in space for “Other race.” During the coding and editing process, these responses were assigned to the appropriate racial designation. Also, some Hispanic origin persons did not mark a race category, but provided entries such as Mexican or Puerto Rican. These persons were classified in the “Other race” category during the coding and editing process. Comparability— In the 1980 census, there were no separate categories for persons identifying as “Asian or Pacific Islander” or “Indian (Amer.), Eskimo, or Aleut.” Persons who identified as such were reported in the “Other” category. In the 1990 census, there were separate categories for “Asian or Pacific Islander” and “Indian (Amer.), Eskimo, or Aleut,” as well as two write- in spaces allowing “Asian or Pacific Islander” persons or “Other race” persons to identify spe- cific race groups. (In 1980 there was just one write-in space for persons identifying as “Oth- er.”) Persons entering a write-in response had their individual entries coded and classified to the appropriate race regardless of whether they filled a check box. This allowed for the accurate tabu- lation and reporting of persons identifying as “Asian or Pacific Islander” or “Indian (Amer.), Eskimo, or Aleut” along with those reporting as “Black or Negro” or “White” in the 1990 census. There was one main difference between the 1990 census and the 1995 and 1997 surveys in the ra- cial categories provided. In the 1990 census, Asians and Pacific Islanders were represented in the single category of “Asian or Pacific Islander.” For the 1995 and 1997 surveys this category was Definitions of Subject Characteristics A-27 broken down into two categories: “Asian (Leba- nese, Indian, Arab, Chinese)” and “Pacific Islan- der (Japanese, Philippino).” In addition, a write- in response space was not provided for “Asian or Pacific Islander” persons or “Other race” persons to identify specific race groups. In the 2000 census, there were 15 racial catego- ries provided: “White,” “Black, African Ameri- can, or Negro,” “American Indian or Alaska Na- tive,” “Asian Indian,” “Chinese,” “Filipino,” “Japanese,” “Korean,” “Vietnamese,” “Other Asian,” “Native Hawaiian,” “Guamanian or Chamorro,” “Somoan,” “Other Pacific Islander,” “Some other race.” There was also write-in space provided for those selecting “Other Asian,” “Oth- er Pacific Islander,” and “Some other race.” The categories used in the 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 surveys resembled those from the 1995 and 1997 surveys, with a few exceptions. The 1995 and 1997 survey categories of “Asian (Lebanese, Indian, Arab, Chinese)” and “American Indian, Eskimo, Aleut” were changed to “Asian (Arab, Indian, Chinese)” and “Am. Indian or Alaska Na- tive.” In addition, the 1997 category of “Pacific Islander (Japanese, Philippino)” was changed to “Pacific Islander.” REFERENCE WEEK The data on labor force status was related to the reference week; that is, the calendar week preced- ing the date on which the respondents were inter- viewed by enumerators. This week is not the same for all respondents since the enumeration was not completed in one week. The occurrence of holidays during the enumeration period could affect the data on actual hours worked during the reference week, but probably had no effect on overall measurement of employment status (see the discussion below on “Comparability”). Comparability—The reference weeks for the 2004 survey included that time between the fourth week of April 2004 and the third week of October 2004 during which time enumerators worked in the field. Some workers may have ob- served holidays such as Fourth of July or other local holidays. The occurrence of holidays could affect the com- parability of the 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995 survey data and that of the 2000, 1990, and 1980 census data on actual hours worked for some areas if the respective weeks containing holidays were the reference weeks for a signifi- cant number of persons. The holidays probably did not affect the overall measurement of em- ployment status since this information was based on work activity during the entire reference week. RESIDENCE IN 1999 The data on residence five years ago in the 2004 survey were derived from answers to question- naire item P16. For those persons reporting in question P15 that on April 1, 1999 they lived in a different house from their current residence on that date, this item asked for the name of the isl- and in the U.S. Virgin Islands, the U.S. State, commonwealth, territory, or foreign country where the person was then living. Residence in 1999 is used in conjunction with location of cur- rent residence to determine the extent of residen- tial mobility of the population and the resulting redistribution of the population among the islands and between the islands and the U.S. States and foreign countries. When no information on residence in 1999 was reported for a person, information for other fami- ly members, if available, was used to assign a lo- cation of residence in 1999. All cases of nonres- ponse or incomplete response that were not as- signed a previous residence based on information from other family members were allocated the previous residence of another person with similar characteristics who provided complete informa- tion. A-28 Definitions of Subject Characteristics The tabulation category, “Same house,” includes all persons 5 years old and over who did not move during the 5 years as well as those who had moved but by 2004 had returned to their 1999 residence. The category, “Different house in the U.S. Virgin Islands,” includes persons who lived in the U.S. Virgin Islands in 1999 but in a differ- ent house or apartment from the one they occu- pied on April 1, 2004. These movers are then further subdivided according to the type of move. In most tabulations, persons who moved within the U.S. Virgin Islands are divided into those moving within the same island and those moving from a different island. Movers from outside the U.S. Virgin Islands are usually divided into three groups according to their 1999 residence: “In the United States,” “On another Caribbean island,” and “Elsewhere.” The last group “Elsewhere,” includes those persons who were residing in a foreign country, Puerto Rico, or another outlying area of the U.S. in 1999, including members of the Armed Forces and their dependents. The number of persons who were living in a dif- ferent house in 1999 is somewhat less than the total number of moves during the 5-year period. Some persons in the same house at the two dates had moved during the 5-year period but by the time of the survey had returned to their 1999 res- idence. Other persons who were living in a dif- ferent house had made one or more intermediate moves. For similar reasons, the number of per- sons living on a different island may be unders- tated. Comparability—The 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995 survey question reported data similar to that in the 2000 and 1990 censuses. Similar questions were also asked in the 1980 and 1990 censuses, but in 1980 previous residence was not allocated for nonresponse. These persons were shown in the category “residence in 1975 not reported.” In the 1970 census, the migration questions did not ask for residence in a specific village or island within the area. SCHOOL ENROLLMENT AND LABOR FORCE STATUS Tabulation of data on enrollment, educational at- tainment, and labor force status for the population 16 to 19 years old allows for calculation of the proportion of the age group who are not enrolled in school and not high school graduates or “dro- pouts” and an unemployment rate for the “dro- pout” population. Definitions of the three topics and descriptions of the census items from which they were derived are presented in “Educational Attainment,” “Employment Status,” and “School Enrollment and Type of School.” The published tabulations include both the civilian and Armed Forces populations, but labor force status is pro- vided for the civilian population only. Therefore, the component labor force status may not add to the total lines high school graduate and not high school graduate. The difference is Armed Forces. Comparability—The tabulation of school enrollment by labor force status in the 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995 surveys is sim- ilar to that published in 2000, 1990, and 1980 census reports. The 1980 census tabulation in- cluded a single data line for Armed Forces; how- ever, enrollment, attainment, and labor force sta- tus data were shown for the civilian population only. In 1970, tabulation was included for 16 to 21 year old males not attending school. SCHOOL ENROLLMENT AND TYPE OF SCHOOL Data on school enrollment were derived from an- swers to questionnaire item P12, which was asked of all persons. Persons were classified as enrolled in school if they reported attending a “regular” public or private school or college at any time in the past 3 months, and the time of enumeration. The question included instructions to “include only nursery or preschool, kindergar- Definitions of Subject Characteristics A-29 ten, elementary school, and schooling that leads to a high school diploma or a college degree, or vocational certificate” as regular school. Enumerators were instructed that enrollment in a trade or business school, company training, or tutoring were not to be included unless the course would be accepted for credit at a regular elemen- tary school, high school, or college. Persons who did not answer the enrollment question were as- signed the enrollment status and type of school of a person with the same age, race or Hispanic ori- gin, and, at older ages, sex, whose residence was in the same or a nearby area. Public and Private School—Includes persons who attended school in the reference period and indicated they were enrolled by marking one of the questionnaire categories for either “public school, public college” or “private school or pri- vate college.” A public school is defined as “any school or college controlled and supported by the local or Federal Government.” Schools supported and controlled primarily by religious organiza- tions or other private groups are defined as pri- vate. Persons who filled both the “public” and “private” circles are edited to the first entry, “public.” Level of School In Which Enrolled— Persons who were enrolled in school were classi- fied as enrolled in “preprimary school,” “elemen- tary or high school,” or “college” according to their response to question P13a (years of school completed or highest degree received). Persons who were enrolled and reported completing nur- sery school or less were classified as enrolled in “preprimary school,” which includes kindergar- ten. Similarly, enrolled persons who had com- pleted at least kindergarten, but not high school, were classified as enrolled in elementary or high school. Enrolled persons who reported complet- ing high school or some college or having re- ceived a post-secondary degree were classified as enrolled in "college." Enrolled persons who re- ported completing the twelfth grade but receiving “NO DIPLOMA”' were classified as enrolled in high school. (For more information on level of school, see the discussion under “Educational At- tainment.”) Comparability—The 2004 survey questions on school enrollment and amount of school com- pleted mirrored that of the 2003, 2002 and 2001 surveys. School enrollment questions have been included in the decennial census since 1930; grade attended was first asked in 1950; type of school was first asked in 1970. In 1930, the enrollment question referred to attendance since September 1. In 1940, the reference was to atten- dance in the month preceding the census, and in the 1950 and subsequent censuses, the question referred to attendance in the two months preced- ing the census date. In past years, instructions on the types of schools to include have changed. In the 1950 instruc- tions, the term “regular school” was introduced, and it was defined as schooling, which “advances a person towards an elementary or high school diploma or a college, university, or professional school degree.” Vocational, trade, or business schools were excluded unless they were graded and considered part of a regular school system. On-the-job training was excluded, as were nur- sery school and kindergarten. Instruction by cor- respondence was excluded unless it was given by a regular school and counted towards promotion. In 1960, the question used the term “regular school or college” and a similar, though ex- panded, definition of “regular” was included in the instructions, which continued to exclude nur- sery school, but included kindergarten. In the 1970 census, the questionnaire used the phrase “regular school or college” and included instruc- tions to “count nursery school, kindergarten, and schooling which leads to an elementary school certificate, high school diploma, or college de- gree.” A-30 Definitions of Subject Characteristics The age range for which enrollment data have been obtained and published has varied over the censuses. Information on enrollment was record- ed for persons 5 to 24 years old in 1940; for per- sons 5 to 29 years old in 1950; for persons age 5 to 34 in 1960; and for those 3 years old and over since 1970. Most of the published enrollment figures referred to persons 5 to 24 in 1940, 5 to 29 in 1950, 5 to 34 in 1960, 3 to 34 in 1970 and 3 years old and over in 1980 and 1990. This growth in the age group whose enrollment was reported reflects increased interest in the number of children in preprimary schools and in the num- ber of older persons attending colleges and uni- versities. In the 1950 and subsequent censuses, college stu- dents were enumerated where they lived while attending college, whereas in earlier censuses, they generally were enumerated at their parental homes. This change should not affect the compa- rability of national figures on college enrollment since 1940; however, it may affect the compara- bility over time of enrollment figures at sub- national levels. Type of school was first introduced in the 1970 census. The type of school was incorporated into the “yes” response categories for the enrollment question. The types identified were “public,” “parochial,” and “other private.” In the 1980 census, “private, church related” and “private, not church related” replaced “parochial,” and “other private.” Grade of enrollment was first available in the 1950 census, where it was obtained from responses to the question on highest grade of school completed. Enumerators were instructed, “for a person still in school, the last grade com- pleted will be the grade preceding the one in which he or she was now enrolled.” From 1960 to 1980, grade of enrollment was obtained from the highest grade attended in the two-part ques- tion used to measure educational attainment. (For more information, see the discussion under “Edu- cational Attainment.”) The form of the question from which level of enrollment was derived in the 1990 census most closely corresponds to the question used in 1950. While data from prior censuses can be aggregated to provide levels of enrollment comparable to the 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995 surveys, and the 2000 and 1990 censuses, the surveys and census data can- not be desegregated to show single grade of enrollment as in previous censuses. Data on school enrollment were also collected and published by other Federal and local govern- ment agencies. Where these data were obtained from administrative records of school systems and institutions of higher learning, they were only roughly comparable with data from population censuses and household surveys because of dif- ferences in definitions and concepts, subject mat- ter covered, time references, and enumeration methods. At the local level, the difference be- tween the location of the institution and the resi- dence of the student may affect the comparability of census and administrative data. Differences between the boundaries of school districts and census geographic units also may affect these comparisons. SELF-CARE LIMITATION STATUS The data on self-care limitation status were de- rived from answers to questionnaire item P18b, which was asked of all persons. Persons were identified as having a self-care limitation if they had a health condition that had lasted for 6 or more months and which made it difficult to take care of their own personal needs, such as “dress- ing, bathing, or getting around inside the home.” The term “health condition” referred to both physical and mental conditions. A temporary health problem, such as a broken bone that was expected to heal normally was not considered a health condition. Definitions of Subject Characteristics A-31 Comparability—1990 was the first time that a question on self-care limitation was included in the census. The 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995 surveys and the 2000 census asked the same question. SEX The data on sex were derived from answers to questionnaire item P3, which was asked of all persons. For most cases in which sex was not reported, it was determined by the appropriate entry from the person's given name and house- hold relationship. Otherwise, sex was imputed according to the relationship to the householder and the age and marital status of the person. (For more information on imputation, see Appendix B, Accuracy of the Data.) Sex Ratio—A measure derived by dividing the total number of males by the total number of fe- males and multiplying by 100. Comparability—A question on the sex of indi- viduals has been asked of the total population in every census and survey. VETERAN STATUS Data on veteran status, period of military service, and years of military service were derived from answers to questionnaire item P19, which was asked of all persons 16 years and over. Veteran Status—The data on veteran status were derived from responses to question P19. For census data products, a “civilian veteran” is a person 16 years old or over who had served (even for a short time) but is not now serving on active duty in the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or the Coast Guard, or who served as a Merchant Marine seaman during World War II. Persons who served in the National Guard or mil- itary Reserves are classified as veterans only if they were ever called or ordered to active duty not counting the 4-6 months for initial training or yearly summer camps. All other civilians 16 years old and over are classified as non-veterans. Period of Military Service—For the 1980, 1990 and 2000 censuses and the 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 surveys, people who indicated that they had served on active duty or were now on active duty were asked to indicate the period or periods in which they served. This question was not asked in the 1995 and 1997 surveys. Years of Military Services—For the 1990 census, people who indicated that they had served on active duty or were now on active duty were asked to report the total number of years and months of active-duty service. For the 2000 cen- sus and the 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 surveys, people who indicated that they had served on ac- tive duty or were now on active duty were asked to report whether the total number of years of ac- tive-duty services was less than 2 years or 2 years or more. The question asked for accumulated service, which is not necessarily the same as con- tinuous service. This question was not asked in the 1995 and 1997 surveys and the 1980 and ear- lier censuses. Limitation of the Data—There may be a ten- dency for the following kinds of persons to report erroneously that they served on active duty in the Armed Forces: (a) persons who served in the Na- tional Guard or military Reserves but were never called to active duty; (b) civilian employees or volunteers for the USO, Red Cross, or the De- partment of Defense for its predecessor Depart- ments, War and Navy; and (c) employees of the Merchant Marine or Public Health Service. Comparability—Since census data on veterans were based on self-reported responses, they may differ from data from other sources such as ad- ministrative records of the Department of De- fense. Census data may also differ from Veterans Administration data on the benefits-eligible popu- A-32 Definitions of Subject Characteristics lation, since factors determining eligibility for veterans’ benefits differ from the rules for classi- fying veterans in the census. In the 1990 census the question was expanded from the veteran/not veteran question in 1980 to include questions on current active duty status and service in the military Reserves and the Na- tional Guard. The expansion was intended to cla- rify the appropriate response for persons in the Armed Forces and for persons who served in the National Guard or military Reserve units only. For the first time in a census, service during World War II as a Merchant Marine Seaman was considered active-duty military service and per- sons with such service were counted as veterans. An additional period of military service, “Sep- tember 1980 or later” was added in 1990. As in 1970 and 1980, persons reporting more than one period of service are shown in the most recent wartime period of service category. The question on Years of Military Service was new for 1990. The wording of the question on veteran status for the 1995 and 1997 surveys was limited to wheth- er persons were now on active duty; had been on active duty in the past, but not now; had served in the Reserves or National Guard, or had not been on active duty. This represented only one part of a three-part question in the 1990 and 2000 cen- suses and the 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 sur- veys. There were several changes in the period of ser- vices categories from 1990 to 2000. The category “World War I” was dropped and the category “September 1980 or later” was changed to “Sep- tember 1980 to July 1990.” In addition, the cate- gories “April 1995 or later” and “August 1990 to March 1995” were added in the 2000 census. The 2001 and 2002 surveys used the same cate- gories as the 2000 census. In the 2003 and 2004 survey, the category “August 1990 to March 1995 (including Persian Gulf War)” was changed to “August 1990 to August 2001 (including Persian Gulf War)” and the category “April 1995 or later” was changed to “September 2001 or later.” WORK DISABILITY STATUS The data on work disability were derived from answers to questionnaire items P18c and P18d, which were asked of all persons 15 years old and over. Persons were identified as having a work disability if they had a health condition that had lasted for 6 or more months and which limited the kind or amount of work they could do at a job or business. A person was limited in the kind of work he or she could do if the person had a health condition that restricted his or her choice of jobs. A person was limited in the amount of work if he or she was not able to work full-time. Persons with a work disability were further classified as “Prevented from working” or “Not prevented from working.” The term “health condition” referred to both physical and mental conditions. A temporary health problem, such as a broken bone that was expected to heal normally was not considered a health condition. Comparability—The wording of the question on work disability for the 2004 survey was the same in the 1995, 1997, 2001, 2002, and 2003 survey and 2000, 1990, and 1980 censuses. In- formation on work disability was first collected in 1970. In that census, the work disability question did not contain a clause restricting the definition of disability to limitations caused by a health condition that had lasted 6 or more months; how- ever, it did contain a separate question about the duration of the disability. WORK STATUS The data on work status in the past 12 months were derived from answers to questionnaire items P26 to P28, which was asked of persons 16 years and over. Persons 16 years old and over who worked 1 or more weeks according to the criteria Definitions of Subject Characteristics A-33 described below are classified as “Worked in the past 12 months.” All other persons 16 years old and over are classified as “Did not work in the past 12 months.” Some tabulations showing work status include 15 year olds; these persons, by definition, are classified as “Did not work in the past 12 months.” Weeks Worked—The data on weeks in the past 12 months were derived from responses to ques- tionnaire item P27. Question P27 (Weeks Worked in the past 12 months) was asked of per- sons 16 years old and over who indicated in ques- tion P26 that they worked in the past 12 months. The data pertain to the number of weeks during the past 12 months in which a person did any work for pay or profit (including paid vacation and paid sick leave) or worked without pay on a family farm or in a family business. Weeks of active service in the Armed Forces are also in- cluded. Usual Hours Worked Per Week The data on usual hours worked per week worked in the past 12 months were derived from answers to questionnaire item P28. This question was asked of persons 16 years old and over who indi- cated that they worked in the past 12 months. The data pertain to the number of hours a person usually worked during the weeks worked in the past 12 months. The respondent was to report the number of hours worked per week in the majority of the weeks he or she worked in the past 12 months. If the hours worked per week varied considerably during the past 12 months, the res- pondent was to report an approximate average of the hours worked per week. The statistics on usual hours worked per week in the past 12 months are not necessarily related to the data on actual hours worked during the census reference week (question P21). Persons 16 years old and over who reported that they usually worked 35 or more hours each week during the weeks they worked are classified as “Usually worked full time,” persons who reported that they usually worked 1 to 34 hours are classified as “Usually worked part time.” Year-Round Full-Time Workers—All per- sons 16 years old and over who usually worked 35 hours or more per week for 50 to 52 weeks in the past 12 months. Number of Workers in Family—The term “worker” as used for these data is defined based on the criteria for Work Status. Limitation of the Data—It is probable that the number of persons who worked in the past 12 months and the number of weeks worked are un- derstated since there was some tendency for res- pondents to forget intermittent or short periods of employment or to exclude weeks worked without pay. There may also be a tendency for persons not to include weeks of paid vacation among their weeks worked; one result may be that the census figures may understate the number of persons who worked “50 to 52 weeks.” Comparability—The data on weeks worked collected in the 2004 survey were comparable with data from the 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995 surveys and the 2000, 1990, 1980, 1970, and 1960 censuses, but may not be entirely com- parable with data from the 1940 and 1950 cen- suses. Since the 1960 census, two separate ques- tions have been used to obtain this information. The first identified persons with any work expe- rience during the year and, thus, indicated those persons for whom the questions on number of weeks worked applied. In 1940 and 1950, how- ever, the questionnaires contained only a single question on number of weeks worked. In 1970, persons responded to the question on weeks worked by indicating one of six weeks- worked intervals. In 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, A-34 Definitions of Subject Characteristics 1997, and 1995 surveys, as well as in 1990 and 1980 censuses, persons were asked to enter the specific number of weeks they worked. YEAR OF ENTRY The data on year of entry were derived from an- swers to questionnaire item P10, which was asked of all persons. The question, “In what month and year did this person come to the U.S. Virgin Isl- ands to stay?” was asked of persons who indi- cated in the question on citizenship that they were not born in the U.S. Virgin Islands. (For more information, see the discussion under “Citizen- ship.”) The 2004 survey questions, tabulations, and cen- sus data products about citizenship and year of entry include no reference to immigration. All persons who were born and resided outside the U.S. Virgin Islands before becoming residents of the U.S. Virgin Islands have a date of entry. Some of these persons are U.S. citizens by birth (e.g., persons born in Puerto Rico or born abroad of American parents). To avoid any possible con- fusion concerning the date of entry of persons who are U.S. citizens by birth, the term, and “year of entry” is used in this report instead of the term "year of immigration." Limitation of the Data—The census questions on nativity, citizenship, and year of entry were not designed to measure the degree of perma- nence of residence in the United States. The phrase, “to stay” was used to obtain the year in which the person became a resident of the United States. Although the respondent was directed to indicate the year he or she entered the country “to stay,” it was difficult to ensure that respondents interpreted the phrase correctly. Comparability—A question on year of entry (alternately called “year of immigration”) was asked in the 1970, 1980, and 1990 censuses. In 1980, the question on year of entry included six arrival time intervals. The number of arrival in- tervals was expanded to ten in 1990. In 1980, the question on year of entry was asked only of the foreign-born population. In 1990, all persons not born in the Virgin Islands were to complete the question on year of entry. In the 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995 surveys persons gave the month and year of entry into the U.S. Virgin Islands as well as the “country or state of imme- diate previous residence.” Definitions of Subject Characteristics A-35 HOUSING CHARACTERISTICS ACREAGE The data on acreage were obtained from ques- tionnaire item H5. This question was asked at all occupied and vacant one-family houses and mo- bile homes. This question determines a range of acres on which the house or mobile home is located. The intent of this item is to exclude owner-occupied and renter-occupied universes for value and rent tabulations. Another major purpose for this item, in conjunction with questionnaire item H6 on agricultural sales, is to identify farm units. The land may consist of more than one tract or plot. These tracks or plots are usually adjoining; however, they may be separated by a road, creek, another piece of land, etc. Comparability—The 1990 census asked two questions regarding acreage. This first question asked all one-family houses, “Is this house on ten or more acres?” and the second question asked how many acres (“Less than 1 acre,” “1 to 9 acres,” and “10 or more acres”). In contrast, the 1995 survey, as well as the 2000 census, asked only the second question. In the 1997 survey a question on acreage was not asked. The 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 surveys asked all one- family houses and mobile homes a question on how many acres the home was on. The catego- ries were similar to those used in the 1995 survey and the 2000 and 1990 census. AGRICULTURAL SALES Data on the sales of agricultural crops were ob- tained from questionnaire item H6 and was asked at occupied one-family houses and mobile homes located on lots of 1 acre or more. Data for this item exclude units on lots of less than 1 acre, units located in structures containing 2 or more units, and all vacant units. This item refers to the total amount (before taxes and expenses) received in the 12 months prior to the interview, from the sale of crops, vegetables, fruits, nuts, livestock and livestock products, and nursery and forest products, produced on “this property.” Respon- dents new to a unit were to estimate total agricul- tural sales from the 12 months prior to the inter- view even if some portion of the sales had been made by previous occupants of the unit. This item is used mainly to classify housing units as farm or non-farm residences, not to provide detailed information on the sale of agricultural products. Comparability—The 1990 and 2000 census and the 1995 survey all asked for the previous year’s agricultural sales, while the 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 surveys requested the amount of agri- cultural sales for the previous 12 months. This question was not asked in the 1997 survey. Another difference in this question across the censuses and surveys is that the 1990 and 2000 censuses, as well as the 1995 survey, provided a series of response categories for the amount of agricultural sales. In the 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 surveys the question provided “Yes” and “No” categories for the question, “In the past 12 months were the sales of all agricultural products from this property $1,000 or more.” AIR CONDITIONING The data on air conditioning were obtained from questionnaire item H14, which was asked at both occupied and vacant housing units. Air condi- tioning is defined as the cooling of air by a refri- geration unit. It does not include evaporative coolers, fans, or blowers, which are not connected to a refrigeration unit; however, it does include heat pumps. A central system is an installation, A-36 Definitions of Subject Characteristics which air-conditions a number of rooms. In an apartment building, each apartment may have its own central system, or there may be several sys- tems, each providing central air conditioning for a group of apartments. A central system with indi- vidual room controls is a 'central air-conditioning system'. A 'room unit' is an individual air condi- tioner, which is installed in a window or an out- side wall and is generally intended to cool one room, although it may sometimes be used to cool more than one room. Comparability—Data on air conditioning were collected for the first time in 1980 and were shown only for year-round housing units. In the 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995 surveys as in the 1990 census, data are shown for all housing units. BEDROOMS The data on bedrooms were obtained from ques- tionnaire item H9, which was asked at both occu- pied and vacant housing units. The number of bedrooms is the count of rooms designed to be used as bedrooms; that is, the number of rooms that would be listed as bedrooms if the house or apartment were on the market for sale or for rent. Included are all rooms intended to be use as bed- rooms even if they currently are being used for some other purpose. A housing unit consisting of only one room, such as a one-room efficiency apartment is classified, by definition, as having no bedroom. Comparability—Data on bedrooms have been collected in every census since 1960. In 1970 and 1980, data for bedrooms were shown only for year-round units. In past censuses, a room was defined as a bedroom if it was used mainly for sleeping even if also used for other purposes. Rooms that were designed to be use as bedrooms but used mainly for other purposes were not con- sidered to be bedrooms. A distribution of hous- ing units by number of bedrooms calculated from data collected in a 1986 U.S. test showed virtual- ly no differences in the two versions except in the two-bedroom category, where the previous “use” definition showed a slightly lower proportion of units. In the 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995 surveys, respondents were asked to fill in a number for the amount of bedrooms in the hous- ing unit, whereas the 1990 census offered a range of 5 choices from “no bedroom” to 5 or more bedrooms. BUSINESS ON PROPERTY The data for business on property were obtained from questionnaire item H7. The question was asked at all occupied and vacant one-family houses and mobile homes. This question is used to exclude owner-occupied one-family houses with business or medical offices on the property from certain statistics on financial characteristics. A business must be easily recognizable from the outside. It usually will have a separate outside entrance and have the appearance of a business, such as a grocery store, restaurant, or barber shop. It may be either attached to the house or mobile home or be located elsewhere on the property. Those housing units in which a room is used for business or professional purposes and has no recognizable alterations to the outside are not considered as having a business. Medical of- fices are considered businesses for tabulation purposes. Comparability—The question on the existence of a business on the property was the same in the 1990 and 2000 censuses and the 1995, 2001, 2002, 2003and 2004 surveys. The 1997 survey did not ask about the presence of a business on the property. CONDOMINIUM FEE A condominium fee normally is charged monthly to the owners of the individual condominium Definitions of Subject Characteristics A-37 units by the condominium owners association to cover operating, maintenance, administrative, and improvement costs of the common property (grounds, halls, lobby, parking areas, laundry rooms, swimming pool, etc.). The costs for utili- ties and/or fuels may be included in the condomi- nium fee if the units do not have separate meters. Data on condominium fees may include real es- tate tax and/or insurance payments for the com- mon property, but do not include real estate taxes or fire, hazard, and flood insurance for the indi- vidual unit. Amounts reported were the regular monthly payment, even if paid by someone out- side the household or remain unpaid. Costs were estimated as closely as possible when exact costs were not known. Comparability—The 2000 census and the 1995 and 1997 surveys gathered data similar to the 1990 census when the question was asked for the first time. The question was not asked in the 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 surveys. CONDOMINIUM STATUS The data on condominium housing units were ob- tained from questionnaire item H19, which was asked at both occupied and vacant housing units. Condominium is a type of ownership that enables a person to own an apartment or house in a de- velopment of similarly owned units and to hold a common or joint ownership in some or all of the common areas and facilities. Common areas and facilities include land, roof, hallways, entrances, elevators, swimming pool, etc. Condominiums may be single-family houses as well as units in apartment buildings. A condominium unit need not be occupied by the owner to be counted as such. A unit classified as “mobile home or trai- ler” or “other” (see discussion under “Units in Structure”) cannot be a condominium unit. Limitation of the Data—Testing done prior to the 1980 and 1990 censuses indicated that the number of condominiums may be slightly over- stated. Comparability—In 1970, condominiums were grouped together with cooperative housing units, and the data were reported only for owner- occupied cooperatives and condominiums. Be- ginning in 1980, the census identified all condo- minium units and the data were shown for renter- occupied and vacant year-round condominiums as well as owner occupied. CONTRACT RENT The data on contract rent were obtained from questionnaire item H21, which was asked at all occupied housing units that were rented for cash rent. Housing units that are renter occupied without payment of cash rent are shown separately as “No cash rent” in census data products. The unit may be owned by friends or relatives who live else- where and who allow occupancy without charge. Rent-free houses or apartments may be provided to compensate caretakers, ministers, tenant far- mers, sharecroppers, or others. Contract rent is the monthly rent agreed to or contracted for, regardless of any furnishings, utilities, fees, meals, or services that may be in- cluded. For vacant units, it is the monthly rent asked for the rental unit at the time of enumera- tion. If the contract rent includes rent for a business unit or for living quarters occupied by another household, the respondent was instructed to re- port that part of the rent estimated to be for his or her unit only. Respondents were asked to report rent for only the housing unit enumerated and to A-38 Definitions of Subject Characteristics exclude any rent paid for additional units or for business premises. If a renter pays rent to the owner of a condomi- nium or cooperative, and the condominium fee or cooperative carrying charge is also paid by the renter to the owner, the respondent was instructed to include the fee or carrying charge. If a renter receives payments from lodgers or roomers who are listed as members of the house- hold, the respondent was instructed to report the rent without deduction for any payments received from the lodgers or roomers. The respondent was instructed to report the rent agreed to or con- tracted for even if paid by someone else such as friends or relatives living elsewhere, or a church or welfare agency. In some tabulations, contract rent is presented for all renter-occupied housing units, as well as spe- cified renter-occupied and specified vacant-for- rent units. Specified renter-occupied and speci- fied vacant-for-rent units exclude one-family houses and mobile homes on 10 or more acres. (For more information on rent, see the discussion under “Gross Rent.”) Median and Quartile Contract Rent—The median divides the rent distribution into two equal parts. Quartiles divide the rent distribution into four equal parts. In computing median and quartile contract rent, units reported as “No cash rent” are excluded. Median and quartile rent cal- culations are rounded to the nearest whole dollar (For more information on medians and quartiles, see the discussion under “Derived Measures.”) Aggregate Contract Rent—To calculate ag- gregate contract rent, the amount assigned for the category “less than $80” is $50. The amount as- signed to the category “$1,000 or more” is $1,250. Mean contract rent is rounded to the nearest whole dollar. (For more information on aggregates and means, see the discussion under “Derived Measures.”) Comparability—Data on this item have been collected since 1930. For 1990, quartiles were added because the range of rents and values in the Virgin Islands has increased in recent years. Up- per and lower quartiles can be used to note large rent and value differences among various geo- graphic areas. COOKING FUEL The data on cooking fuel were obtained from questionnaire item H18, which was asked at all occupied and vacant housing units. The data show the type of fuel used most for cooking. Electricity—includes electricity obtained from public or private power supply as well as from individually owned power units. Bottled or Tank Gas—includes liquid propane gas stored in bottles or tanks which are refilled or exchanged when empty. Kerosene—includes liquid kerosene stored in bottles or drums. Coal or Coke—Includes solid or hard coal and coke that are burnt in stoves Wood—Includes purchased wood, wood cut by household members on their property or else- where, driftwood, sawmill or construction scraps, or the like. Solar Energy—Includes heat provided by sun- light which is collected, stored, and actively dis- tributed. Other Fuel—Includes all other fuels not speci- fied elsewhere. Definitions of Subject Characteristics A-39 No Fuel Used—Includes units that do not use any fuel or that do not have kitchen facilities. Comparability—Data on cooking fuel were col- lected for the first time in 1980. There were some changes in the categories from the 2000 census to the 2001 survey. The category “Wood or char- coal” was replaced with “Wood.” The 2001 sur- vey added the categories of “Coal or coke” and “Solar energy.” The 2002 survey categories re- mained unchanged from the 2001 survey. The 2004 and 2003 survey replaced the categories “Fuel oil, kerosene” and “Coal or coke” with the single category of “Kerosene or coal.” In addi- tion, the category of “Wood” was not listed in the 2004 survey. DURATION OF VACANCY The data for duration of vacancy (also referred to as “months vacant”) refer to the length of time (in months and years) between the date the last occu- pants moved from the unit and the time of enume- ration. The data, therefore, do not provide a di- rect measure of the total length of time units re- main vacant. For newly constructed units which have never been occupied, the duration of vacancy is counted from the date construction was completed. For recently converted or merged units, the time is reported from the date conversion or merger was completed. Units occupied by an entire house- hold with a usual home elsewhere are assigned to the “Less than 1 month” interval. Comparability—In the 1980 census data were shown only for year-round housing units, while the 1990 census and the 1997 and 1995 surveys include all housing units. This question was not asked in the 2000 census and the 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 surveys. GROSS RENT Gross rent is the contract rent plus the estimated average monthly cost of utilities (electricity, gas, and water) and fuels (oil, charcoal, kerosene, wood, etc.) if these are paid for by the renter (or paid for the renter by someone else). Gross rent is intended to eliminate differentials, which result from varying practices with respect to the inclu- sion of utilities and fuels as part of the rental payment. Renter units occupied without payment of cash rent are shown separately as “No cash rent” in the tabulations. Comparability—Data on gross rent have been collected since 1940 for renter-occupied housing units. GROSS RENT AS A PERCENTAGE OF HOUSEHOLD INCOME IN 2003 Gross rent as a percentage of household income in 2003 is a computed ratio of monthly gross rent to monthly household income (total household income in 2003 divided by 12). The ratio was computed separately for each unit and was rounded to the nearest whole percentage. Units for which no cash rent is paid and units occupied by households that reported no income or a net loss in 2003 comprise the category “Not com- puted.” INSURANCE FOR FIRE, HAZARD, AND FLOOD The data on fire, hazard, and flood insurance were obtained from questionnaire item H25, which was asked at houses, condominiums, boats, and mobile homes where the resident owned or was buying the housing unit. The statistics for this item refer to the annual premium for fire, ha- zard, and flood insurance on the property (land and buildings); that is, policies that protect the property and its contents against loss due to dam- A-40 Definitions of Subject Characteristics age by fire, lightning, winds, hail, flood, explo- sion, and so on. Liability policies are included only if they are paid with the fire, hazard, and flood insurance premiums and the amounts for fire, hazard, and flood cannot be separated. Premiums are included even if paid by someone outside the household or remain unpaid. When premiums are paid on oth- er than a yearly basis, the premiums are converted to a yearly basis. The payment for fire, hazard, and flood insurance is added to payments for real estate taxes, utili- ties, fuels, and mortgages (both first and junior mortgages and home equity loans) to derive “Se- lected Monthly Owner Costs” and “Selected Monthly Owner Costs as a Percentage of House- hold Income in 2003.” A separate question (H22d) determines whether insurance premiums are included in the mortgage payment to the lender(s). This makes it possible to avoid counting these premiums twice in the computations. Comparability—Data on payment for fire and hazard insurance was collected for the first time in 1980. Flood insurance was not specifically mentioned in the wording of the question in 1980. The question was asked only at owner-occupied one-family houses. Excluded were mobile homes, condominiums, houses with a business or medical office on the property, houses on 10 or more acres, and housing units in multi-unit build- ings. In 1990, the question was asked of all hous- ing units (i.e., house, apartment, condominium, mobile home), including those on 10 or more acres, where the resident owned or was buying the housing unit. The 1995, 1997, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 survey question followed the pat- tern used in the 1990 census. LIVING QUARTERS Living quarters are classified as housing units. Usually living quarters are in structures intended for residential use (for example, a one-family home, apartment house, hotel or motel, boarding house, or mobile home). Living quarters also maybe in structures intended for nonresidential use (for example, the rooms in a warehouse where a guard lives), as well as in places such as boats, tents, vans, shelters for the homeless, and dormitories. Housing Units—A housing unit is a house, an apartment, a mobile home or trailer, a group of rooms or a single room occupied as separate liv- ing quarters, or if vacant, intended for occupancy as separate living quarters. Separate living quar- ters are those in which the occupants live and eat separately from any other persons in the building and which have direct access from outside the building or through a common hall. The occupants may be a single family, one person living alone, two or more families living together, or any other group of related or unrelated persons who share living arrangements. For vacant units, the criteria of separateness and direct access are applied to the intended occupants whenever poss- ible. If that information cannot be obtained, the criteria are applied to the previous occupants. Both occupied and vacant housing units are in- cluded in the housing unit inventory, except that recreational vehicles, boats, vans, tents and the like are included only if they are occupied as someone's usual place of residence. Vacant mo- bile homes are included provided they are in- tended for occupancy on the site where they stand. Vacant mobile homes on dealers' sales lots or in storage yards are excluded from the housing inventory. If the living quarters contain 9 or more persons unrelated to the householder or person in charge (a total of 10 unrelated persons), they are classi- fied as group quarters. If the living quarters con- Definitions of Subject Characteristics A-41 tain eight or fewer persons unrelated to the householder or person in charge, they are classi- fied as housing units. Occupied Housing Units—A housing unit is classified as occupied if it is the usual place of residence of the person or group of persons living in it at the time of enumeration, or if the occu- pants are only temporarily absent; that is, away on vacation or business. If all the persons staying in the unit at the time of the census have their usual place of residence elsewhere, the unit is classified as vacant. A household includes all the persons who occupy a housing unit as their usual place of residence. By definition, the count of occupied housing units for 100-percent tabula- tions is the same as the count of households or householders. Vacant Housing Units—A housing unit is va- cant if no one is living in it at the time of enume- ration, unless its occupants are only temporarily absent. Units temporarily occupied at the time of enumeration entirely by persons who have a usual residence elsewhere are also classified as vacant. (For more information, see discussion under “Usual Home Elsewhere.”) New units not yet occupied are classified as va- cant housing units if construction has reached a point where all exterior windows and doors are installed and final usable floors are in place. Va- cant units are excluded if they are open to the elements; that is, the roof, walls, windows, and/or doors no longer protect the interior from the ele- ments, or if there is positive evidence (such as a sign on the house or in the block) that the unit is condemned or is to be demolished. Also ex- cluded are quarters being used entirely for nonre- sidential purposes, such as a store or an office, or quarters used for the storage of business supplies or inventory, machinery, or agricultural products. Hotels, Motels, Rooming Houses, Etc.— Occupied rooms or suites of rooms in hotels, mo- tels, and similar places are classified as housing units only when occupied by permanent residents; that is, persons who consider the hotel as their usual place of residence or have no usual place of residence elsewhere. Vacant rooms or suites of rooms are classified as housing units only in those hotels, motels, and similar places in which 75 percent or more of the accommodations are occupied by permanent residents. If any of the occupants in a rooming or boarding house live and eat separately from others in the building and have direct access, their quarters are classified as separate housing units. Staff Living Quarters—The living quarters occupied by staff personnel within any group quarters are separate housing units if they satisfy the housing unit criteria of separateness and di- rect access; otherwise, they are considered group quarters. Comparability—The first Census of Housing in 1940 established the “dwelling unit” concept. Although the term became “housing unit” and the definition has been modified slightly in succeed- ing censuses; the 2004 survey definition for hous- ing unit was the same as that used for the 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997 and 1995 surveys and 1990 and 1980 censuses. MOBILE HOME OR BOAT COSTS Data on mobile home/boat costs include the total yearly costs for personal property taxes, land or site rent, marina fees or ship rent, registration fees, and license fees on all owner-occupied mo- bile homes and boats. Costs are estimated as closely as possible when exact costs are not known. Amounts are the total for an entire 12- month billing period, even if they are paid by someone outside the household or remain unpaid. A-42 Definitions of Subject Characteristics The data from this item are added to payments for mortgages, real estate taxes, fire, hazard, and flood insurance payments, utilities, and fuels to derive selected monthly owner costs for mobile home and boat occupants. Comparability— This item was first introduced in the 1990 census and was mirrored in the 1995 and 1997 surveys and the 2000 census. This question was not asked in the 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 surveys. MORTGAGE PAYMENT The data on mortgage payment were obtained from questionnaire item H22a, which was asked at houses, condominiums, boats, and mobile homes where the resident owned or was buying the housing unit. Question H22b provides the regular monthly amount required to be paid the lender for the first mortgage (deed of trust, con- tract to purchase, or similar debt) on the property. Amounts are included even if the payments are delinquent or paid by someone else. The amounts reported are included in the computation of “Se- lected Monthly Owner Costs” and “Selected Monthly Owner Costs as a Percentage of House- hold Income in 2003,” for units with a mortgage. The amounts reported include everything paid to the lender including principal and interest pay- ments, real estate taxes, fire, hazard, and flood insurance payments, and mortgage insurance premiums. Separate questions determine whether real estate taxes and fire, hazard, and flood insur- ance payments are included in the mortgage pay- ment to the lender. This makes it possible to avoid counting these components twice in the computation of “Selected Monthly Owner Costs.” Comparability—Information on mortgage payment was collected for the first time in 1980. It was collected only at owner-occupied one- family houses. Excluded were mobile homes, condominiums, houses with a business or medical office on the property, one-family houses on 10 or more acres, and housing units in multi-unit buildings. In the 1990 and 2000 censuses and the 1995, 1997, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 surveys, the questions on monthly mortgage payments were asked of all housing units (i.e., house, apartment, condominium, mobile home), includ- ing those on 10 or more acres, where the resident owned or was buying the housing unit. The 1980 census obtained total regular monthly mortgage payments, including payments on second or junior mortgages, from a single ques- tion. As in the 1990 census, two questions were used in 1995, 1997, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 surveys; one for regular monthly payments on first mortgages, and one for regular monthly payments on second or junior mortgages or home equity loans. (For more information, see the dis- cussion under “Second or Junior Mortgage Pay- ment.”) MORTGAGE STATUS The data on mortgage status were obtained from questionnaire items H22a and H23a, which were asked at houses, condominiums, boats, and mo- bile homes where the resident owned or was buy- ing the housing unit. “Mortgage” refers to all forms of debt where the property is pledged as security for repayment of the debt. It includes such debt instruments as deeds of trust; trust deeds, contracts to purchase, land contracts, ju- nior mortgages and home equity loans. A mortgage is considered a first mortgage if it has prior claim over any other mortgage or if it is the only mortgage on the property. All other mort- gages, (second, third, etc.) are considered junior mortgages. A home equity loan is generally a junior mortgage. If no first mortgage is reported, but a junior mortgage or home equity loan is re- ported, then the loan is considered a first mort- gage. Definitions of Subject Characteristics A-43 In most census data products, the tabulations for “Selected Monthly Owner Costs” and “Selected Monthly Owner Costs as a Percentage of House- hold Income in 2003” usually are shown separate- ly for units “with a mortgage” and for units “not mortgaged.” The category “not mortgaged” is comprised of housing units owned free and clear of debt. Comparability—The item was asked for the first time in 1980. In 1980, the mortgage status questions were asked at owner-occupied one- family houses on less than 3 acre. Excluded were mobile homes, boats, condominiums, houses with a business or medical office, houses on 3 or more acres, and housing units in multi-unit buildings. In the 1990 and 2000 censuses and 1995, 1997, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 surveys, the question was asked of all housing units (i.e., house, apart- ment, condominium, mobile home), including those on 10 or more acres, where the resident owned or was buying the housing unit. PERSONS IN UNIT This item is based on the 100-percent count of persons in occupied housing units. All persons occupying the housing unit are counted, including the householder, occupants related to the house- holder, and lodgers, roomers, boarders, and so forth. The data on “persons in unit” show the number of housing units occupied by the speci- fied number of persons. The phrase “persons in unit” is used for housing tabulations, “persons in households” for population items. Figures for “persons in unit” match those for “persons in household.” Median Persons in Unit—In computing me- dian persons in unit, a whole number is used as the midpoint of an interval; thus, a unit with 4 persons is treated as an interval ranging from 3.5 to 4.5 persons. Median persons is rounded to the nearest hundredth. (For more information on medians, see the discussion under “Derived Measures.”) Persons in Occupied Housing Units—This is the total population minus those persons living in-group quarters. “Persons per occupied housing unit” is computed by dividing the population liv- ing in housing units by the number of occupied housing units. PERSONS PER ROOM “Persons per room” is obtained by dividing the number of persons in each occupied housing unit by the number of rooms in the unit. Persons per room are rounded to the nearest hundredth. The figures shown refer, therefore, to the number of occupied housing units having the specified ratio of persons per room. Mean Persons Per Room—This measure is computed by dividing persons in housing units by the aggregate number of rooms. This is intended to provide a measure of utilization. A higher mean may indicate a greater degree of utilization or crowding; a low mean may indicate under- utilization. (For more information on means, see the discussion under “Derived Measures.”) POVERTY STATUS OF HOUSEHOLDS IN 2003 The data on poverty status of households were derived from answers to the income questions. Households are classified below the poverty level when the total 2003 income of the family or of the nonfamily householder is below the appropri- ate poverty threshold. The income of persons liv- ing in the household who are unrelated to the householder is not considered when determining the poverty status of a household, nor does their presence affect the household size in determining the appropriate poverty threshold. The poverty thresholds vary depending upon three criteria: A-44 Definitions of Subject Characteristics size of family, number of children, and age of the family householder or unrelated individual for one and two-person households. (For more in- formation, see the discussion of “Poverty Status in 2003” and “Income in 2003” under Population Characteristics.) REAL ESTATE TAXES The data on real estate taxes were obtained from questionnaire item H24, which was asked at houses, condominiums, boats, and mobile homes where the resident owned or was buying the housing unit. The statistics from this question refer to the total amount of all real estate taxes on the entire property (land and buildings) payable in 2003 to all taxing jurisdictions, including spe- cial assessments, school taxes, county taxes, and so forth. Real estate taxes include state, local, and all other real-estate taxes even if delinquent, unpaid, or paid by someone who is not a member of the household. However, taxes due from prior years are not included. If taxes are paid on other than a yearly basis, the payments are converted to a yearly basis. The payment for real estate taxes is added to payments for fire, hazard, and flood insurance; utilities and fuels; and mortgages (both first and junior mortgages and home equity loans) to de- rive “Selected Monthly Owner Costs” and “Se- lected Monthly Owner Costs as a Percentage of Household Income in 2003.” A separate question (H22c) determines whether real estate taxes are included in the mortgage payment to the lend- er(s). This makes it possible to avoid counting taxes twice in the computations. Comparability—Data for real estate taxes were collected for the first time in 1980. The question was asked only at owner-occupied one-family houses. Excluded were mobile homes or trailers, condominiums, houses with a business or medical office on the property, houses on 1 or more acres, and housing units in multi-unit buildings. In the 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995 surveys as in the 1990 and 2000 censuses, the question was asked of all housing units (i.e., house, apart- ment, condominium, mobile home), including those on 10 or more acres, where the resident owned or was buying the housing unit. ROOMS The data on rooms were obtained from question- naire item H8, which was asked at both occupied and vacant housing units. The statistics on rooms are in terms of the number of housing units with a specified number of rooms. The intent of this question is to count the number of whole rooms used for living purposes. For each unit, rooms include living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, finished recreation rooms, enclosed porches suitable for year-round use, and lodger's rooms. Excluded are strip or Pullman kitchens, bathrooms, open porches, bal- conies, halls or foyers, half-rooms, utility rooms, unfinished attics or basements, or other unfi- nished space used for storage. A partially divided room is a separate room only if there is a partition from floor to ceiling, but not if the partition con- sists solely of shelves or cabinets. Median Rooms—This measure divides the room distribution into two equal parts, one-half of the cases falling below the median number of rooms and one-half above the median. In compu- ting median rooms, the whole number is used as the midpoint of the interval; thus, the category “3 rooms” is treated as an interval ranging from 2.5 to 3.5 rooms. Median rooms is rounded to the nearest tenth. (For more information on medians, see the discussion under “Derived Measures.”) Aggregate Rooms—To calculate aggregate rooms, an arbitrary value of “10” is assigned to rooms for units falling within the terminal catego- Definitions of Subject Characteristics A-45 ry, “9 or more.” (For more information on aggre- gates and means, see the discussion under “De- rived Measures.”) Comparability—Data on rooms have been col- lected since 1940. In 1970 and 1980, these data were shown only for year-round housing units. In the 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995 sur- veys, as in 1990 census, these data are shown for all housing units. SECOND OR JUNIOR MORTGAGE PAYMENT The data on second or junior mortgage payments were obtained from questionnaire items H23a and H23b, which were asked at houses, condomi- niums, boats, and mobile homes where the resi- dent owned or was buying the housing unit. Question H23a asks whether a second or junior mortgage or a home equity loan exists on the property. Question H23b provides the regular monthly amount required to be paid to the lender on all second or junior mortgages and home equi- ty loans. Amounts are included even if the pay- ments are delinquent or paid by someone else. The amounts reported are included in the compu- tation of “Selected Monthly Owner Costs” and “Selected Monthly Owner Costs as a Percentage of Household Income in 2003” for units with a mortgage. All mortgages other than first mortgages are clas- sified as “junior” mortgages. A second mortgage is a junior mortgage that gives the lender a claim against the property that is second to the claim of the holder of the first mortgage. Any other junior mortgage(s) would be subordinate to the second mortgage. A home equity loan is a line of credit available to the borrower that is secured by real estate. It may be placed on a property that al- ready has a first or second mortgage, or it may be placed on a property that is owned free and clear. If the respondents answered that no first mortgage existed, but a second mortgage did (as in the above case with a home equity loan), a computer edit assigned the unit a first mortgage and made the first mortgage monthly payment the amount reported in the second mortgage. The second mortgage data were then made “No,” in question H23a and blank in question H23b. Comparability—Data for second or junior mortgage payments were collected for the first time in 1980. The question was asked only at owner-occupied one-family houses. Excluded were mobile homes or trailers, condominiums, houses with a business or medical office on the property, houses on 1 or more acres, and housing units in multi-unit buildings. In the 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995 surveys as in the 1990 and 2000 censuses, the question was asked of all housing units (i.e., house, apartment, con- dominium, mobile home), including those on 10 or more acres, where the resident owned or was buying the housing unit. The 1980 census obtained total regular monthly mortgage payments, including payments on second or junior mortgages, from one single question. Two questions were used in the 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995 surveys as was the case in the 2000 and 1990 censuses: one for regular monthly payments on first mortgages, and one for regular monthly payments on second or junior mortgages and home equity loans. SELECTED MONTHLY OWNER COSTS The data on selected monthly owner costs were obtained from questionnaire items H13, H22, H23, H24, and H25. The data were obtained for houses, condominiums, and mobile homes where the resident owned or was buying the housing unit. Selected monthly owner costs is the sum of payments for mortgages, deeds of trust, contracts to purchase, or similar debts on the property (in- A-46 Definitions of Subject Characteristics cluding payments for the first mortgage, second or junior mortgages, and home equity loans). Al- so included are real estate taxes, fire, hazard, and flood insurance on the property, and utilities (electricity, and water). It also includes, where appropriate, the monthly condominium fee for condominiums and, in previous censuses and some previous surveys, boat and mobile home costs such as personal property taxes, site rent, registration fees, and license fees. Specified Owner-Occupied Housing Units—In certain tabulations selected monthly owner costs are presented separately for specified owner-occupied housing units (owner-occupied one-family houses on fewer than 10 acres and without a business or medical office on the prop- erty); owner-occupied condominiums, and owner- occupied mobile homes. Data usually are shown separately for units “with a mortgage” and for units “not mortgaged.” Median Selected Monthly Owner Costs— This measure is rounded to the nearest whole dol- lar. Comparability—The components of selected monthly owner costs were collected for the first time in 1980. The 1990 and 2000 censuses and the 1995 survey used the same questions as the 1980 census. In 1997, a question on the average monthly cost of cable or satellite TV was added. The 2000 census differed from the 1997 survey in that the cable and satellite TV question was dropped. From the 2000 census to the 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 surveys, the question ask- ing the amount of condominium fees was dropped and there was a question added that asked, “How much is the regular monthly payment on ALL second and third mortgages and home equity loans.” The 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 surveys also dropped the question on boat and mobile home costs such as personal property taxes, site rent, registration fees, and license fees. The 2004 survey differed from the previous survey in that the questions on cost of gas and cost of fuel were omitted. SELECTED MONTHLY OWNER COSTS AS A PERCENTAGE OF HOUSEHOLD INCOME IN 2003 The information on selected monthly owner costs, as a percentage of household income in 2003 is the computed rate of selected monthly owner costs to monthly household income in 2003. The ratio was computed separately for each unit and rounded to the nearest whole percentage. The data are tabulated separately for specified owner- occupied units, condominiums, and mobile homes. Separate distributions are often shown for units “with a mortgage” and for units “not mortgaged.” Units occupied by households reporting no in- come or a net loss in 2003 are included in the “not computed” category. (For more information, see the discussion under “Selected Monthly Owner Costs.”) Comparability—The components of selected monthly owner costs were collected for the first time in 1980. The tabulations of “Selected Monthly Owner Costs as a Percentage of House- hold Income in 2003” for specified owner- occupied housing units are comparable to the 2000 census and the 1995, 1997, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 surveys. SOURCE OF WATER The data on source of water were obtained from questionnaire items H11, which was asked at both occupied and vacant housing units. Housing units may receive their water supply from a num- ber of sources. A common source supplying wa- ter to five or more units is classified as “a public system only” or “a public system and cistern.” Other sources of water may be “a cistern, tanks, or drums only” in which rainwater is collected. “A public standpipe” is an elevated tank or ver- Definitions of Subject Characteristics A-47 tical storage cylinder or street hydrant, which is connected to a public system from which nearby residents draw water. The category “some other source such as an individual well or a spring” in- cludes water obtained from creeks, rivers, lakes, etc. Comparability—Data on source of water have been collected in every census since 1940. In 1970 and 1980, data were shown only for year- round housing units. In the 1995 survey, house- holds were asked whether or not water was pur- chased from a water vendor from January through December 1994. Households were considered to have purchased water from a water vendor, even if only one purchase was made during the year and even though their primary source of water was from a public system, and public standpipe, or some other source. Bottled water purchased from a commercial establishment such as a gro- cery store or drugstore was not included. TELEPHONE IN HOUSING UNIT The data on telephones were obtained from ques- tionnaire item H15, which was asked at occupied housing units. This question was asked for the first time in the 1990 census. A telephone must be inside the house or apartment for the unit to be classified as having a telephone. Units where the respondent uses a telephone located inside the building but not in the respondent's living quar- ters are classified as having no telephone. Comparability—The 2004 survey question was comparable to that asked in the 1990 and 2000 census and the 1995, 1997, 2001, 2002, and 2003 surveys. The 1997 survey asked an additional question about the cost of the average monthly telephone bill. TENURE The data for tenure were obtained from question- naire item H20, which was asked at all occupied housing units. All occupied housing units are classified as either owner occupied or renter oc- cupied. Owner Occupied—A housing unit is owner occupied if the owner or co-owner lives in the unit even if it is mortgaged or not fully paid for. The owner or co-owner must live in the unit and usually is the person listed in column 1 of the questionnaire. The unit is “Owned by you or someone in this household with a mortgage or loan” if it is being purchased with a mortgage or some other debt arrangement such as a deed of trust, trust deed, contract to purchase, land con- tract, or purchase agreement. The unit is also considered owned with a mortgage if it is built on leased land and there is a mortgage on the unit. A housing unit is “Owned by you or someone in this household free and clear (without a mort- gage)” if there is no mortgage or other similar debt on the house, apartment, or mobile home including units built on leased land if the unit is owned outright without a mortgage. Although owner-occupied housing units are divided be- tween mortgaged and owned free and clear on the questionnaire, census data products containing 100-percent data show only total owner-occupied counts. More extensive mortgage information was collected on the long-form questionnaire and is shown in census products containing sample data. Renter Occupied—All occupied housing units which are not owner occupied, whether they are rented for cash rent or occupied without payment of cash rent, are classified as renter occupied. “No cash rent” units are separately identified in the rent tabulations. Such units are generally provided free by friends or relatives or in ex- change for services such as a resident manager, caretaker, minister, or tenant farmer. Housing A-48 Definitions of Subject Characteristics units on military bases also are classified in the “No cash rent” category. “Rented for cash rent” includes units in continu- ing care, sometimes called life care arrangements. These arrangements usually involve a contract between one or more individuals and a health services provider guaranteeing the individual shelter, usually a house or apartment, and servic- es, such as meals or transportation to shopping or recreation. Comparability—Data on tenure have been col- lected for the Virgin Islands since 1930. In 1970, the question on tenure also included a category for condominium and cooperative ownership. In 1980, condominium units and cooperatives were dropped from the tenure item, and since 1980, only condominium units are identified in a sepa- rate question. Since 1990, the response categories were ex- panded to allow the respondent to report whether the unit was owned with a mortgage or free and clear (without a mortgage). Research after the 1980 census indicated some respondents did not consider their units owned if they had a mortgage. The distinction between units owned with a mort- gage and units owned free and clear was added in 1990 to improve the count of owner-occupied units; the 2000 census and the 1995, 1997, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 surveys continued this pat- tern. UNITS IN STRUCTURE The data on units in structure (also referred to as “type of structure”) were obtained from question- naire item H1, which was asked at all housing units. A structure is a separate building that ei- ther has open spaces on all sides or is separated from other structures by dividing walls that ex- tend from ground to roof. In determining the number of units in a structure, all housing units, both occupied and vacant, are counted. Stores or office space are excluded. The statistics are presented for the number of housing units in structures of specified type and size, not for the number of residential buildings. 1-Unit, Detached—This is a 1-unit structure detached from any other structure; that is, with open space on all four sides. Such structures are considered detached even if they have an adjoin- ing shed or garage. A one-family house, which contains a business, is considered detached as long as the building has open space on all four sides. Mobile homes or trailers to which one or more permanent rooms have been added or built are also included. 1-Unit, Attached—This is a 1-unit structure, which has one or more walls extending from ground to roof separating it from adjoining struc- tures. In row houses (sometimes called town- houses), double houses, or houses attached to non-residential structures, each house is a sepa- rate, attached structure if the dividing or common wall goes from ground to roof. 2 or More Units—These are units in structures containing 2 or more housing units, further cate- gorized as units in structures with 2, 3 or 4, 5 to 9, 10 to 19, and 20 or more units. Boat or Houseboat—Included in this category are boats and houseboats that are occupied as housing units. Mobile Home or Trailer—Both occupied and vacant mobile homes to which no permanent rooms have been added are counted in this cate- gory. Mobile homes or trailers used only for business purposes or for extra sleeping space and mobile homes or trailers for sale on a dealer's lot, or in storage are not counted in the housing in- ventory. Definitions of Subject Characteristics A-49 Other—This category is for any living quarters occupied as a housing unit that does not fit the previous categories. Examples that fit this cate- gory are abandoned cars, tents, campers, and vans. Comparability—Data on units in structure have been collected for the Virgin Islands since 1940, on mobile homes and trailers since 1950, and on boats since 1980. In 1970 and 1980, these data were shown only for year-round housing units. Since 1990, these data were shown for all housing units. The category, “Tent, van, etc.” was re- placed in 1990 by the category, “Other.” The 1995, 1997, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 surveys and the 2000 census continued the 1990 census questionnaire pattern. USUAL HOME ELSEWHERE The data for usual home elsewhere were obtained from questionnaire item L, which was completed by census and survey employees. A housing unit temporarily occupied at the time of enumeration entirely by persons with a usual residence else- where is classified as vacant. The occupants are classified as having a “Usual home elsewhere” and are counted at the address of their usual place of residence. Typical examples are people in a vacation home and persons renting living quarters temporarily for work. Limitation of the Data—Evidence from pre- vious censuses suggests that in some areas enu- merators marked units as “vacant-usual home elsewhere” when they should have marked “va- cant-regular.” Comparability—Data for usual home elsewhere were tabulated for the first time in the 1980 cen- sus. UTILITIES The data on utility costs were obtained from questionnaire item H13, which were asked at all occupied housing units. Questions H13 asked for the monthly cost of utilities (electricity and wa- ter). The average monthly costs are included in the computation of “Gross Rent,” “Gross Rent as a Percentage of Household Income in 2003,” “Se- lected Monthly Owner Costs,” and “Selected Monthly Owner Costs as a Percentage of House- hold Income in 2003.” Costs are recorded if paid by or billed to occu- pants, a welfare agency, relatives, or friends. Costs that are paid by landlords, included in the rent payment, or included in condominium or co- operative fees are excluded. Limitation of the Data—Research has shown that respondents tended to overstate their ex- penses for electricity and gas when compared to utility company records. Comparability—Data on utilities were col- lected for the first time in the 1980 census. Data on costs of cable or television service and kero- sene were added for the first time in the 1997 survey, but were not included the 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 surveys. The 2004 differed from the previous survey in that the questions on cost of gas and cost of fuel were dropped. VACANCY STATUS Vacancy status and other characteristics of vacant units were determined by enumerators obtaining information from landlords, owners, neighbors, rental agents, and others. Vacant units are subdi- vided according to their housing market classifi- cation as follows: For Rent—These are vacant units offered “for rent” and vacant units offered either “for rent or for sale.” A-50 Definitions of Subject Characteristics For Sale Only—These are vacant units being offered "for sale only" including units in co- operatives and condominium projects if the individual units are offered “for sale only.” Rented or Sold, Not Occupied—If any money rent has been paid or agreed upon but the new renter has not moved in as of the date of enumeration, or if the unit has recently been sold but the new owner has not yet moved in, the vacant unit is classified as “rented or sold, not occupied.” For Seasonal, Recreational, or Occasion- al Use—These are vacant units used or in- tended for use only in certain seasons or for weekend or other occasional use through out the year. Seasonal units include those used for summer or winter sports or recreation, such as beach cottages and hunting cabins. Seasonal units may also include quarters for such workers as herders and loggers. Interval ownership units, sometimes called shared ownership or time-sharing condominiums, al- so are included here. Other Vacant—If a vacant unit does not fall into any of the classifications specified above, it is classified as “other vacant.” For exam- ple, this category includes units held for oc- cupancy by a caretaker or janitor, and units held for personal reasons of the owner. Homeowner Vacancy Rate—This is the per- centage relationship between the number of va- cant units for sale and the total homeowner inven- tory. It is computed by dividing the number of vacant units for sale only by the sum of the own- er-occupied units and the number of vacant units that are for sale only. Rental Vacancy Rate—This is the percentage relationship of the number of vacant units for rent to the total rental inventory. It is computed by dividing the number of vacant units for rent by the sum of the renter-occupied units and the number of vacant units for rent. Comparability—Data on vacancy status have been collected since the 1940 census. For 1990, the category, “seasonal/recreational/occasional use” combined vacant units classified in 1980 as “seasonal” and “held for occasional use.” Also, in 1970 and 1980, housing characteristics were generally presented only for year-round units. In the 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995 sur- veys as in 2000 and 1990 censuses, housing cha- racteristics are shown for all housing units. In the 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 surveys and in the 2000 census, data on the type of vacant unit were not collected. VALUE The data on value (also referred to as “price asked” for vacant units) were obtained from ques- tionnaire item H26, which was asked at housing units that were owned, being bought, or vacant for sale at the time of enumeration. Value is the respondent's estimate of how much the property (house and lot, mobile home and lot, or condomi- nium unit) would sell for if it were for sale. If the house or mobile home is owned or being bought, but the land on which it sits is not, the respondent was asked to estimate the combined value of the house or mobile home and the land. For vacant units, value is the price asked for the property. Value is tabulated separately for all owner- occupied and vacant-for-sale-only housing units, owner-occupied and vacant-for-sale mobile homes or trailers, and specified owner-occupied and specified vacant-for-sale-only housing units. Specified owner-occupied and specified vacant- for-sale-only housing units include only one- family houses on less than 10 acres without a business or medical office on the property. The data for “specified” units exclude mobile homes, houses with a business or medical office, houses Definitions of Subject Characteristics A-51 on 10 or more acres, and housing units in multi- unit buildings. Median and Quartile Value—The median di- vides the value distribution into two equal parts. Quartiles divide the value distribution into four equal parts. These measures are rounded to the nearest hundred dollars. (For more information on medians and quartiles, see the discussion un- der “Derived Measures.”) Aggregate Value—To calculate aggregate val- ue, the amount assigned for the category “Less than $10,000” is $9,000. The amount assigned to the category “$500,000 or more” is $600,000. Mean value is rounded to the nearest hundred dollars. (For more information on aggregates and means, see the discussion under “Derived Meas- ures.”) Comparability—In 1980, value was asked only at owner-occupied or vacant-for-sale one-family houses on less than 1 acre with no business or medical office on the property and at all owner- occupied or vacant-for-sale condominium hous- ing units. Mobile homes were excluded. Value data were presented for specified owner-occupied housing units, specified vacant-for-sale-only housing units, and owner-occupied condominium housing units. In 1990, the question was asked at all owner- occupied or vacant-for-sale-only housing units with no exclusions. Data presented for specified owner-occupied and specified vacant-for-sale- only housing units include one-family condomi- nium houses. For 1990, quartiles have been added because the range of values and rents in the Virgin Islands has increased in recent years. Upper and lower quar- tiles can be used to note large value and rent dif- ferences among various geographic areas. VEHICLES AVAILABLE The data on vehicles available were obtained from questionnaire item H17, which was asked at occupied housing units. These data show the number of households with a specified number of passenger cars, vans, and pickup or panel trucks of one-ton capacity or less kept at home and available for the use of household members. Ve- hicles rented or leased for one month or more, company vehicles, and police and government vehicles are included if kept at home and used for nonbusiness purposes. Dismantled or immobile vehicles are excluded. Vehicles kept at home but used only for business purposes also are ex- cluded. Vehicles Per Household—This is computed by dividing aggregate vehicles available by the number of occupied housing units. Comparability—Data on automobiles available were collected for the first time in the 1980 cen- sus. YEAR HOUSEHOLDER MOVED INTO UNIT The data on year householder moved into unit were obtained from questionnaire item H3, which was asked at occupied housing units. These data refer to the year of the latest move by the house- holder. If a householder moved back into a hous- ing unit he or she previously occupied, the year of the latest move was reported. If the householder moved from one apartment to another within the same building, the year the householder moved into the present apartment was reported. The in- tent is to establish the year the present occupancy by the householder began. The year that the householder moved in is not necessarily the same year other members of the household moved, al- though in the great majority of cases an entire household moves at the same time. A-52 Definitions of Subject Characteristics Comparability—In 1960 and 1970, this ques- tion was asked of every person and included in population reports. This item in housing tabula- tions refers to the year the householder moved in. In 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1997, and 1995, the question was asked only of the householder, as was done in the 1980, 1990, and 2000 censuses. YEAR STRUCTURE BUILT The data on year structure built were obtained from questionnaire item H2 that was asked at both occupied and vacant housing units. Data on year structure built refer to when the building was first constructed, not when it was remodeled, added to, or converted. For housing units under construction that met the housing unit defini- tion—that is all exterior windows, doors, and fi- nal usable floors were in place. For a houseboat or a mobile home or trailer the manufacturer's model year was assumed to be the year built. The figures shown in census data products relate to the number of units built during the specified pe- riods that were still in existence at the time of enumeration. Median Year Structure Built—The median divides the distribution into two equal parts. The median is rounded to the nearest calendar year. Median age of housing can be obtained by sub- tracting median year structure built from 2004. For example, if the median year structure built is 1958, the median age of housing in that area is 45 years (2004 minus 1959). Limitation of the Data—Data on year struc- ture built are more susceptible to errors of re- sponse and nonreporting than data on many other items because respondents must rely on their memory or on estimates by persons who have lived in the neighborhood a long time. Available evidence indicates there is underreporting in the older-year-structure-built categories, especially “Built in 1939 or earlier.” The introduction of the “Don't know” category (see the discussion on “Comparability”) may have resulted in relatively higher allocation rates. Data users should refer to the discussion in Appendix C, Accuracy of the Data, and to the allocation tables. Comparability—Data on year structure built were collected for the first time in the 1940 cen- sus. Since then, the response categories have been modified to accommodate the 10-year pe- riod between each census. In 1990, the category, “Don't Know,” was added, and was used in 1995, 1997, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004. The effect is to minimize the response error men- tioned in the paragraph above on limitation of the data. DERIVED MEASURES Interpolation Interpolation frequently is used in calculating medians or quartiles based on interval data and in approximating standard errors from tables. Li- near interpolation is used to estimate values of a function between two known values. “Pareto in- terpolation” is an alternative to linear interpola- tion. It is used by the Census Bureau in calculat- ing median income within intervals wider than $2,500. In Pareto interpolation, the median is derived by interpolating between the logarithms of the upper and lower income limits of the me- dian category Mean This measure represents an arithmetic average of a set of values. It is derived by dividing the sum of a group of numerical items (or aggregate) by the total number of items. Aggregates are used in computing mean values. For example, mean fam- ily income is obtained by dividing the aggregate of all income reported by persons in families by the total number of families. (Additional infor- mation on means and aggregates are included in the separate explanations of many population and housing subjects.) Definitions of Subject Characteristics A-53 Median This measure represents the middle value in a dis- tribution. The median divides the total frequency into two equal parts: one-half of the cases fall be- low the median and one-half of the cases exceed the median. The median is computed on the basis of the distribution as tabulated, which is some- times more detailed than the distribution shown in specific census publications and other data products. In reports, if the median falls within the upper interval of the tabulation distribution, the median is shown as the initial value of the interval fol- lowed by a plus sign (+); if within the lower in- terval, the median is shown as the upper value of the category followed by a minus sign (-). For summary tape files, if the median falls within the upper or lower interval, it is set to a specified value. (Additional information on medians is in- cluded in the separate explanations of many population and housing subjects.) Percentages, Rates, and Ratios These measures are frequently presented in cen- sus products to compare two numbers or two sets of measurements. These comparisons are made in two ways: (1) subtraction, which provides an absolute measure of the difference between two items, and (2) the quotient of two numbers, which provides a relative measure of difference. Quartile This measure divides a distribution into four equal parts. The first quartile (or lower quartile) is the value that defines the upper limit of the lowest one-quarter of the cases. The second quartile is the median. The third quartile (or up- per quartile) defines the lower limit of the upper one-quarter of the cases in the distribution. The difference between the upper and lower quartiles is called the inter-quartile range. This range is less affected by wide variations than is the mean. Quartiles are presented for certain financial cha- racteristics such as housing value and rent. APPENDIX B Accuracy of the Sample Data CONTENTS Introduction B-1 Confidentiality of the Data B-1 Editing of Unacceptable Data B-1 Sources of Error B-2 INTRODUCTION The data contained in this report are based on the U.S. Virgin Islands Community Survey (VICS) 2004 sample interviewed in the second quarter of 2004. VICS is designed to provide accurate estimates for the population and housing units for the United States Vir- gin Islands on an annual basis. VICS, like any other survey, is subject to error. The pur- pose of Appendix B and C is to provide data users with a basic understanding of the accu- racy of the data, estimation methodology, and the sample design. CONFIDENTIALITY OF THE DATA Every effort has been made to protect the confidentiality of the 2004 U.S. Virgin Isl- ands Community Survey data, and to make sure that published data do not disclose in- formation about specific individuals, house- holds, or housing units. All full-time or part- time employees of the University who handle the questionnaires are required to swear to the same oath of confidentiality that is admi- nistered by the Bureau of the Census in the collection of census data. EDITING OF UNACCEPTABLE DATA The objective of the processing operation was to produce a set of data that describes the population as clearly and accurately as possi- ble. The questionnaire contained two sec- tions: population and housing. Questionnaires were reviewed and edited during field data collection operations by field supervisors for consistency, complete- ness, and acceptability. Questionnaires were also reviewed by edit clerks in the Survey office for omissions, certain inconsistencies, and improper sample selection. For example, write-in entries such as “Don’t know” or “NA” was considered unacceptable in certain quantities and/or in conjunction with other data omissions. As a result of this review operation, a follow- up telephone or personal visit was made to obtain missing information. Potential cover- age errors were included in the follow-up, as well as questionnaires with omissions or in- consistencies beyond the completeness and quality tolerances specified in the review procedures. Subsequent to field operations, remaining incomplete or inconsistent information on the questionnaires was assigned using imputation procedures during the final automated edit of the collected data. Allocations—computer assignments of acceptable data in place of unacceptable entries or blanks—were needed most often when an entry for a given item was lacking, or when the information re- ported for person, housing unit or household expenditure was inconsistent with other in- formation for that same person or housing unit. As in previous surveys, the general procedure for changing unacceptable entries was to assign an entry for a person or hous- ing unit that was consistent with entries for persons or housing units with similar charac- teristics. The assignment of acceptable data in place of blanks or unacceptable entries en- hanced the usefulness of the data. Accuracy of Sample Data B-1 SOURCES OF ERRORS The results of a survey are used to make quantitative inferences about the population surveyed. A survey error occurs when there is discrepancy between the inferences and the reality. Sources of error are generally divided into two major types: sampling error and nonsampling error. Sampling error is the re- sult of studying a subset of the whole popula- tion. Sampling error is controlled by design- ing a sample using sound sampling tech- niques and a random selection method, so that the final sampling units have the same probability of selection. The extent of sam- pling error in survey estimators depends on the survey's sample design. The standard er- ror formulae can be used to calculate the va- riance of the sample mean. In any large-scale statistical operation, such as the 2004 U.S. Virgin Islands Community Survey, human- and machine-related errors do occur. These sources of error are com- monly referred to as non-sampling error. Such errors include not enumerating every sampled household or every person in the selected sample, not obtaining all required information from the respondents, obtaining incorrect or inconsistent information, and recording information incorrectly. In addi- tion, errors can occur during the field review of the enumerators’ work, during clerical handling of the questionnaires, or during the electronic processing of the questionnaires. To reduce various types of non-sampling er- ror, a number of techniques were imple- mented during the planning, data collection, and data processing activities. Quality assur- ance methods were used throughout the data collection and processing phases of the sur- vey to improve the quality of the data. Nonresponse The failure to collect the survey data from some sampled units (non-response), is a se- rious survey problem that seems to have grown as respondents have become less will- ing to participate in surveys. If non- respondents differ from respondents with re- gard to survey variables, the survey estimates based on the respondents alone will be biased estimates of the overall population parame- ters. The nonresponse in surveys could occur at two levels: total nonresponse occurs when no information is collected from a sampled unit, and item nonresponse occurs when some but not all the information is collected. In inter- view surveys, the mode used for VICS, total nonresponse could be classified into: refus- als, not at home, and language problem. The interviewers were carefully trained in ap- proaches to use to avoid refusals. They were instructed to return to conduct an interview at a time more convenient to the respondent if necessary. The assurance of anonymity and confidentiality were provided to eliminate fears of disclosure. 'Not at homes' were treated by at least five callbacks. Most of the interviewing was done during the evenings and weekends. The callbacks were made on different days and different times of day. Item non-response may occur for a variety of reasons. The respondents may not know the answers to certain questions or they may refuse to answer some questions. They may consider them sensitive or irrelevant. The interviewer may skip over a question under the pressure of the interviewing. A recorded answer on the questionnaire may be rejected during editing because it is inconsistent with other answers. B-2 Accuracy of the Sample Data Accuracy of Sample Data B-3 The imputation methods have been devised to compensate for item nonresponse. These methods operate by assigning values for the missing values, using the responses to other questions on the questionnaire. One method known as class mean method, divides the sample into classes on the basis of the res- ponses to other relevant items, and then as- signs the respondent class mean for all the item non-responses in that class. A variant of this method is to assign for each item non- response one of the item responses in the same class. The U.S. Census Bureau uses a similar method, known as 'hot deck method'. Undercoverage It is possible for some sample housing units or persons to be missed by the survey. A ma- jor way to avoid undercoverage in a survey is to ensure that its sampling frame, an address list in this case, is as accurate as possible. In absence of the Master Address File (MAF) for the United States Virgin Islands, a house listing was used as the sampling frame. Processing Error The many phases involved in the processing of the survey data represent potential sources for the introduction of non-sampling error. The processing of the questionnaire includes the keying of data from completed question- naires, automated clerical review, and fol- low-up by telephone, the manual coding of some variables, and the electronic data processing. APPENDIX C Collection and Processing Procedures CONTENTS Interview and Residence Rules C-1 Data Collection Procedures C-2 Processing Procedures C-3 INTERVIEW AND RESIDENCE RULES In a decennial census, each person is to be enumerated as an inhabitant of his or her "usual residence." Usual residence is the place where the person lives and sleeps most of the time, or the place he or she considers to be his or her usual residence. This place is not necessarily the same as the person's legal or voting residence, nor did the census al- ways count persons as residents of the place where they happened to be staying on Census day. The Virgin Islands Community Survey (VICS) concept of residence differs from this decennial census concept. Because the sur- vey is conducted every year on independent samples, and produces annual estimates, a concept of current residence of the American Community Survey (ACS) was adopted as being more appropriate than the usual resi- dence concept of the decennial census. The census requires that everyone have only one usual residence, since its primary purpose is to provide counts for the apportionment of congress. The concept of current residence being used in the VICS also requires that each person have only one residence at any point in time, but that residence does not have to be in the same place throughout the year. This concept allows the survey infor- mation to more closely reflect the actual cha- racteristics of each area. To implement the current residence concept, the "Two-Month" rule was established. This rule states that if a person is staying in a sample unit at the time of survey reference day (April 1), and is staying there for more than two months, he or she is a current resi- dent of that unit whether or not the unit is also the person’s usual residence under cen- sus rules. If a person who usually lives in the unit is away for more than two months at the time of survey contact, he or she is not a cur- rent resident of that unit. In the vast majority of areas of the country, the use of usual residence or current resi- dence as the classification basis would pro- duce substantially the same statistics. Interview Rules Each person whose current residence was a VICS sample unit, was to be included in the survey, without regard to the person's legal status or citizenship. Persons residing in housing units were excluded from the survey only if the residence rules defined their cur- rent residence to be somewhere other than the sample-housing unit. As in previous surveys, persons in the U.S. Virgin Islands specifically excluded from the census were foreign travelers who had not established a residence. Persons with a usual residence outside the U.S. Virgin Islands were not enumerated in the 2004 Survey. On the other hand, residents of the U.S. Vir- gin Islands temporarily abroad were to be enumerated at their usual residence in the U.S. Virgin Islands, if they were present in a Collection and Processing Procedures C-1 sample unit on the reference day (April 1, 2004). Residence Rules For housing units, each person included in the survey must be a current resident of the sample unit--a place where he or she is stay- ing for more than two months at the time of survey contact. If a person has no place where he or she usually stays, the person is to be considered a current resident of the sam- ple unit regardless of the length of the current stay. Persons away from their residence for two months or less, on a vacation, or on a busi- ness trip, are considered to still be "in resi- dence" at the sample unit and the unit is clas- sified as occupied. Persons away from their residence for more than two months are con- sidered not to be in residence. If no one is in residence for more than two months, the unit is classified as vacant. Units occupied only by persons who are staying for two months or less and who have another more perma- nent residence are considered to be tempora- rily occupied units. As with vacant units, on- ly the housing information is collected for temporarily occupied units. The "Two-Month" rule, with few exceptions, determines the current residency of all per- sons. These exceptions are noted below. If a person had no usual residence, the person was to be counted where he or she was stay- ing on April 1, 2004. Persons Away at School—College students were counted as residents of the place in which they were living while attending col- lege. Children in boarding schools below the college level were counted at their parental home. DATA COLLECTION PROCEDURES The 2004 U.S. Virgin Islands Community Survey was conducted using standard scien- tific techniques to obtain a sample of house- holds. The personal interview approach was used to complete the questionnaire. Sample Design Census Bureau geography divides each isl- and in the U.S. Virgin Islands into non- overlapping regions called Census Tracts. Each Census Tract is subdivided into smaller areas called Block Groups (BGs), and each BG is subdivided into even smaller areas called blocks. A two-stage sample design was used for this survey where BGs consti- tuted the Primary Sampling Units (PSUs). The design called for the selection of an area sample in two stages, using the method of paired selection of PSUs with probabilities proportional to size measures (PPS). All the BGs were ordered geographically and then divided into 20 incipient strata. A pair of BGs was randomly selected from each stra- tum using systematic sampling. In the second stage, housing units are randomly selected from the selected PSUs. In PPS selection, PSUs are selected based on their relative size and selecting an equal number of cases from all selected PSUs, the probability of selection of all final sampling unit is equal (p=0.05). A uniform sampling rate at 5 percent was used. The sample size was 2,400 i.e. on the average 60 housing units from 40 selected PSUs (Block Groups). Sampling Weights For each person in the sample, a basic statis- tical weight is made up of two components, corresponding to the two sampling stages. Let denote the probability that the PSU ip th i C-2 Data Collection and Processing Procedures C-3 Coverage and Edit-Failure Follow-up— Field supervisors conducted an initial check of the questionnaires for completeness and consistency. Data editors in the Survey of- fice performed additional coverage and edit checks. Those households, for which ques- tionnaires did not meet specific quality stan- dards because of incomplete information, were contacted by supervisors to obtain the missing information. Collection and Processing Procedures is selected, and j p denote the probability that the th j household is selected.

The information supplied to the interviewer by the respondent was rec- orded by marking the answers in the appro- priate answer boxes and, in some cases, en- tering a write-in response. All completed questionnaires were checked into the Survey Office and edited for completeness and con- sistency of the responses. Once all data col- lection activities were complete, the ques- tionnaires were coded in the Survey office. All write-in entries were also coded. After all coding operations were complete, all the responses to the questions on all the ques- tionnaires were keyed using the data-entry component of CSPro (Census and Survey Processing System), including the codes for the write-in entries. The disks containing the keyed data were then processed on micro- computers using the IMPS Consistency and Correction (CONCOR) package for editing the data and the Census Tabulation System (CENTS) for tabulating the data f se) t s ob vid d fr am- pling weights. Estimation of the tabulated values was de- rived by the assignment of two sets of weights: a weight to each sample person record and a weight to each sample housing record. The housing weight for each island is as follows: St Croix: 21.94544; St John: 19.88390; and St Thomas: 22.13532. The person weight for each island is as follows: t Croix: 24.21512; St S St Thomas: 2239766. Interviewing in Housing Units Beginning in May 2004, interviewers visited households that were randomly selected in the survey office. A personal interview was conducted in which the interviewer asked the questions as worded on the questionnaire and recorded the answers. A single questionnaire contained all questions asked of persons and housing units. The questionnaire contained both basic and detailed items. Only housing nformatio i in
