Census1960Table2

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' family structure, ages, basic racial categories, origins if foreign-born, child custody information, and education levels. 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.
