Census Tract Data, 1940 - 1970: Elizabeth Mullen Bogue Files
NN3-CFS-99-001
Records of the Community and Family Study Center, University of Chicago (Collection CFS)
The Census Tract Data files contain records of two different lengths. The city/metro area records
are longer than the tract level record. The files are preserved in the EBCDIC character set with
variable-length records, including an eight character EBCDIC record/block counter at the
beginning of each block/record.
NARA converted the files to a more contemporary format as part of making the records available
online. Specifically, NARA converted the files to the ASCII character set and replaced the
EBCDIC record/block counter with carriage return-line feed (CRFL) characters. With the
replacement of the EBCDIC record/block counter, the length of each record is decreased by eight
characters and each record now includes a record-delimiter. NARA also padded the records to
the longest record length to create fixed-length records.
If the layout accounted for the counters, then the actual record length and field positions are eight
characters less than what is indicated in the layout. This means researchers may need to adjust
the field positions in the layout when using the data.
The fields in the city/metro area and the tract level records do not necessarily align. Researches
will have to define the fields for the city/metro area records separately from the tract level
records.
1940 and 1950 files
The NARA prepared layouts for the city/metro area and the tract level records include the eight
character counter. To use with the converted files, researchers will need to adjust the field
positions by a decrease of eight characters.
For the city/metro area records, after the "file/record title" (now columns 1 - 60) and "number of
tracts" (now columns 61 - 66) fields, the remaining fields are each eight characters in length.
For the tract level records, after the "tract id" (now columns 1 - 8) and "tract sequence number"
(now columns 9 - 13) fields, the remaining fields are each five characters in length.

The 1940 records are padded out to column 3306, plus the carriage return-line feed for a record
length of 3308 characters.
The 1950 records are padded out to column 2058, plus the carriage return-line feed for a record
length of 2060 characters.
1960 files
The NARA prepared layout for the SMSA/Central City includes the eight character counter. To
use with the converted files, researchers will need to adjust the field positions by a decrease of
eight characters.
For the SMSA/Central City records, after the "serial code" (now columns 1 - 6) and "blank"
(now columns 7 - 100) fields, the remaining fields are each eight characters in length.
The layout for the tract level records does not include the counters. No change is needed to those
field positions.
The 1960 records are padded out to column 3620, plus the carriage return-line feed for a record
length of 3622 characters.
1970 files
The layouts for the city/metro and tract level records do not include counters so no adjustment to
the field positions is necessary.
For the city/metro area records, after the "SMSA No.," "SMSA name," and "number of central
cities," the next 15 fields are 12 characters in length and the remaining 1153 fields are eight
characters in length.
For the tract level records, after the first twelve fields (fields "SMSA No." through "tract housing
count"), the next 15 fields are eight characters in length and the remaining 1153 fields are six
characters in length.
The 1970 records are padded out to column 9439, plus the carriage return-line feed for a record
length of 9441 characters.

Census Tract Data, 1940 - 1970: Elizabeth Mullen Bogue Files
NN3-CFS-99-001
Records of the Community and Family
Study Center, University of Chicago (Collection CFS)
As indicated in the introduction to the documentation for the 1940, 1950, and 1960 Census Tract
Data, NARA prepared layouts based on the documentation provided by the donor and from some
of the "Census Tract Statistics" publications. However, given how the donors prepared the data
files and the complexity in compiling the record layouts, there may be discrepancies between the
NARA-prepared layouts and the data.
In particular, staff have discovered that for some tracted cities in 1940, 1950, and 1960, the tract
ID includes an alphabetic prefix. For example, there is an alphabetic prefix for the tract ID in the
San Diego 1950 and 1960 files and in the San Francisco(-Oakland) 1940 and 1960 files. The
NARA-prepared layouts for the 1940 and 1950 tract level data does not indicate a separate field
for the tract ID alphabetic prefix. The alphabetic prefix appears to be in the left-most position in
the tract ID field. The donor-prepared layout for the 1960 tract level includes a field for the
alphabetic prefix.

DOCUMENTATION FOR CENSUS TRACT DATA, 1940:
ELIZABETH MULLEN BOGUE FILE
The data files known as the Census Tract Data, 1940: Elizabeth
Mullen Bogue File, were deposited with the National Archives and
Records Administration (NARA) by a deed of gift from Dr. Donald
Bogue of The Community and Family Study Center, University of
Chicago. The 1940 Census Tract files were originally created by
keypunching the data from the printed publications prepared by
the Bureau of the Census. Record copies of these publications
can be found in the Publications of the U.S. Government (Record
Group 287). The 1940 census tract data reported in those
publications were manually keypunched by The Community and Family
Study Center, under the direction of Dr. Bogue. Much of this
work was accomplished by Elizabeth Mullen Bogue, the wife of the
principle investigator, Ms. Maggie Gibson, and a number of other
students and staff. Related funding for this project (for
analysis and student training) came from a number of sources
including the National Science Foundation, National Institute of
Child Health and Human Development, U.S. Agency for International
Development, and the Social Science Division of the University of
Chicago.
One of Dr. Bogue's students, Dr. Michael White, obtained copies
of the Census Tract Data files. Dr. White of the Population
Studies and Training Center, Brown University, arranged for the
transfer of these files to NARA on behalf of Dr. Bogue. The 1940
Census Tract Data came to NARA in March 1998, along with a copy
of the original documentation.
The documentation indicates that the data were originally
keypunched onto 38 cards per tract. NARA received 60 files, one
per tracted city, with variable length records. There are two
record types in each file; a 'city and metro level' record type
with a record length of 3302 and a 'tract level' record type with
a record length of 2037. Dr. White confirmed that at some point
in time the original 80 column records (38 record per area) were
concatenated into one long record per area. Note that the first
National Archives and Records Administration
Reference Copy #2
four bytes in each block/record is a binary block length/record
counter. NARA prepared record layouts for each record type based
on the original documentation and a review of the Census Tract
publications for Augusta, Georgia, and Atlantic City, New Jersey.
The first two records in each file are for the 'city and metro
level' data and the remainder of the records in the file contain
'tract level' data, arranged numerically by tract. Each file has
two records at the beginning of each file; a 'metro level' record
followed by a 'city level' record. When applicable, the 'metro
level' record incorporates data tabulated for suburban tracts.
In cities without suburban tracts, both a 'metro level' record
and 'city level' record are included in the file, but the data
are identical. The 'metro level' and 'city level' records are
distinguished by the characters METR and CITY in columns 64-68 of
the records.
Documentation for the 1940 Census Tract files consist of this
introduction, a copy of the general description of 'Population
and Housing-Statistics for Census Tracts' from a typical 1940
census tract publication, the original documentation for the
keypunched files (38 cards per area), NARA produced record
layouts for the 'city and metro level' and 'tract level' record
types, and a NARA produced sample printout of records from the
file for Atlantic City, New Jersey. The 'Population and Housing-
Statistics for Census Tracts' description includes a list of the
60 tracted cities and indicates those that include surrounding
suburban tracts as 'metro' areas. Included as supplemental
documentation are copies of the 1940 Census Tract publications
for Augusta, Georgia, and Atlantic City, New Jersey, and a copy
of the Census Tract Manual (3rd edition, January 1947). Again,
record copies of these publications can be found in the
Publications of the U.S. Government (Record Group 287), or in
various depository libaries across the United States. Among
NARA's cartographic holdings are the original enumeration
