UNI-CEN Standardized Census Data Table - Census Tract (CT) - 1986 - Long Format (DTA) (Version 2023-03)

UNI-CEN Standardized Census Data Tables contain Census data that have been reformatted into a common table format with standardized variable names and codes. The data are provided in two tabular formats for different use cases. "Long" tables are suitable for use in statistical environments, while "wide" tables are commonly used in GIS environments. The long tables are provided in Stata Binary (dta) format, which is readable by all statistics software. The wide tables are provided in comma-separated values (csv) and dBase 3 (dbf) formats with codebooks. The wide tables are easily joined to the UNI-CEN Digital Boundary Files. For the csv files, a .csvt file is provided to ensure that column data formats are correctly formatted when importing into QGIS. A schema.ini file does the same when importing into ArcGIS environments. As the DBF file format supports a maximum of 250 columns, tables with a larger number of variables are divided into multiple DBF files.

UNI-CEN标准化普查数据表收录经过重构的普查数据，采用统一表格格式，并配备标准化变量名称与编码体系。该数据集针对不同应用场景提供两种表格格式：长格式表格适配统计分析环境，宽格式表格则多用于地理信息系统（GIS，Geographic Information System）场景。长格式表格采用Stata二进制（dta）格式，可被所有主流统计软件读取。宽格式表格附带代码手册，以逗号分隔值（csv）与dBase 3（dbf）两种格式提供，且可便捷与UNI-CEN数字边界文件进行关联整合。针对csv格式文件，配套提供.csvt文件，以确保在导入QGIS时列数据格式准确无误；若导入ArcGIS环境，则可通过schema.ini文件实现相同的格式校验功能。由于DBF文件格式最多仅支持250列，因此变量数量较多的表格会被拆分为多个DBF文件。如需了解更多关于文件来源、制作方法及使用方式的详细信息，请查阅https://borealisdata.ca/dataverse/unicen_docs 处的官方文档；若想了解该项目的更多背景，请访问https://observatory.uwo.ca/unicen。
