Educational Attainment in 30 Selected Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas: 1967
Educational Attainment in 30 Selected Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas: 1967
Report Number P20-209
Persons living in the central cities of 30 of the Nation's large standard metropolitan statistical areas (SMSA's) in 1967 had, on the average, completed fewer years of schooling than persons living in the suburban parts of these metropolitan areas. About half of the persons 25 years old and over living in these cities had not completed high school as compared with only 37 percent of those living in the suburban ring around these central cities.
The data in this report on the educational attainment of the population 25 years old and over in each of these SMSA's are based on the annual average of the 1967 monthly statistics on years of school completed collected in the Current Population Survey conducted by the Bureau of the Census in 1967. The tabulation of these data was sponsored by Columbia University.
A Note on Language
Census statistics date back to 1790 and reflect the growth and change of the United States. Past census reports contain some terms that today’s readers may consider obsolete and inappropriate. As part of our goal to be open and transparent with the public, we are improving access to all Census Bureau original publications and statistics, which serve as a guide to the nation's history.
