Place Text Files and Description

The Text files only contain data -- no labels, no table headers, no titles. A description of the contents of the files is provided below and in the "README" file in the Text file directory.

Go to the Place Text file directory containing the 2000 residential housing patterns files.

I.   File Organization:

     The files in the Residential Housing Patterns directory contain 19 indexes of
     residential housing patterns for each race/ethnicity group and place.
     There is one record per race/ethnicity group and place. There is one file 
     for each year and each race/ethnicity group and one file for each year with 
     all groups combined. All indexes were calculated using Non-Hispanic Whites as 
     the reference group.  The unit of analysis is the census tract.  The number 
     of race/ethnicity groups and places are indicated below.

     Note: Residential Housing Patterns Indexes can only be shown for places with:
    
     . at least 10 Census tracts
     . a total population of 10,000 or more
     . a minority population of 100 or more for the group in question
