NATIONAL ARCHIVES File Format Conversion 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. NATIONAL ARCHIVES and RECORDS ADMINISTRATION 8601 ADELPHI ROAD COLLEGE PARK, MD 20740-6001 www.archives.gov 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. Electronic Records Division July 11, 2017 NATIONAL ARCHIVES Supplemental User Note 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.

Hull April 30, 1999 NN3-CFS-96-999 DOCUMENTATION FOR CENSUS TRACT DATA, 1950: ELIZABETH MULLEN BOGUE FILE The data files known as the Census Tract Data, 1950: 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 1950 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 1950 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 1950 Census Tract Data came to NARA in November 1998, along with a copy of the original documentation. The documentation indicates that the data were originally keypunched onto multiple punchcards for the city/metro area as a whole and for each tract. NARA received 59 files, one per available 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 2058 and a 'tract level' record type with a record length of 1261. Dr. White confirmed that at some point in time the original 80 column records were concatenated into one long record per area. Note that the first eight 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 Austin, Texas. A copy of the Austin report is included as part of the technical documentation. 2 The first two records in each file are for the 'city and metro Reproduced at the National Archives NARA's web site is http://www.nara.gov 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 1950 Census Tract files consist of this introduction, NARA produced record layouts for the 'city and metro level' and 'tract level' record types, the original documentation for the keypunched files, and a NARA produced sample printout of records from the file for Austin, Texas, and a copy of the publication 'Census Tract Statistics, Austin, Texas'. The 'Census Tract Statistics, Austin, Texas' document includes a list of all tracted cities and indicates those that include surrounding suburban tracts as 'metro' areas. NARA did not receive from the donor, most significantly, files for Honolulu, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco-Oakland, and Minneapolis-St. Paul. Apparently those census tract data were never converted to an electronic form. A copy of a sample census tract publication is included so that the researcher can cross-check the data element titles and relationships between items presented in the original publication. In the process of preparing the NARA record layouts, NARA staff checked as closely as possible the data element titles and locations in the electronic records. Some discrepancies in the data values between the publication and the data file were noted, especially in calculated values (i.e. median income, median rent). Researchers should be aware that, because of the complexity involved in its preparation, there may be instances where the NARA prepared record layout may be in error. The donor could not supply a record layout that matched the current format of the data. For researchers obtaining copies of these file converted to ASCII, please note that the first eight characters of each record (i.e. the blocksize/record length counter) will not be converted. Therefore, the actual record length and data element positions will be eight characters less than that indicated in the NARA prepared record layout. A general rule however is that, following the FILE/RECORD TITLE and NUMBER OF TRACTS fields in the 'city/metro area' records, each data element is eight characters in length. In the 'tract' level data, following the TRACT ID and TRACT SEQUENCE NUMBER fields, each data element is five characters in length. Record copies of all census tract 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 district maps, 3 which also identify the tract areas for the tracted cities.
