Census1960table3

This data collection contains selected variables at the tract level from the 1960 Census of Population and Housing. Census tracts are statistical subdivisions, most of which are within Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSAs). Tracts were originally designed to be relatively homogenous with respect to population characteristics, economic status, and living conditions. This tables includes some of the census data for Maryland, including the housing occupants' income and occupations. Coverage includes the following counties: Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Baltimore City, Caroll, Howard, Prince George's. Data were extracted from 1960 Census Tract-Level Data from the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Science Research site. This is part of a collection of 221 Baltimore Ecosystem Study metadata records that point to a geodatabase. The geodatabase is available online and is considerably large. Upon request, and under certain arrangements, it can be shipped on media, such as a usb hard drive. The geodatabase is roughly 51.4 Gb in size, consisting of 4,914 files in 160 folders. Although this metadata record and the others like it are not rich with attributes, it is nonetheless made available because the data that it represents could be indeed useful.

本数据集收录了1960年人口与住房普查（Census of Population and Housing）中的普查片区（tract）级筛选变量。普查片区是统计分区单元，绝大多数位于标准大都市统计区（Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas, SMSAs）范围内。普查片区最初的设计目标是在人口特征、经济状况与居住条件方面保持相对均质化。本数据集包含马里兰州（Maryland）的部分普查数据，涵盖住房居民的收入与职业信息。覆盖范围涉及以下郡县：安妮阿伦德尔县（Anne Arundel）、巴尔的摩县（Baltimore）、巴尔的摩市（Baltimore City）、卡罗尔县（Carroll）、霍华德县（Howard）以及乔治王子县（Prince George's）。本数据集的数据提取自政治与社会研究大学间联合会（Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Science Research）官网发布的1960年普查片区级数据集。本元数据记录是221条巴尔的摩生态系统研究（Baltimore Ecosystem Study）元数据记录的组成部分，指向一个地理数据库（geodatabase）。该地理数据库可在线获取，但体量庞大。经申请并达成特定合作安排后，可通过USB移动硬盘等存储介质寄送该数据库。该地理数据库总容量约51.4吉字节（GB），包含160个文件夹下的4914个文件。尽管本元数据记录及同类记录的属性字段并不丰富，但鉴于其所承载的数据具备较高应用价值，仍予以公开。
