STUDY DESCRIPTION: These Fifth-Count Tallies by school district were created from the assembled and edited 20-percent, 15-percent, and 5-percent Samples portions of the 1970 Census of Population and Housing. Population tables include tallies for age, race, sex, nativity, income, employment, poverty and children. Housing tables include tallies for persons per unit, rooms in units, value, gross rent, and year structure built. The data file is sorted within state in ascending sequence of 5-digit school district codes. School districts with populations of less than 1,000 persons are combined in the code category 99999.

The SSDC staff has reformatted the ICPSR data file and documented variable column locations for the reformatted data file. See the Reformatted codebook for more information.
