Census1960table5

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 time period in which occupants moved into the housing, the number of automobiles occupants own, categories of professions, the cost of the housing, and water and sewage information.. 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.
